  • 30 some years ago?

    Everything was just more fractured. Instead of a handful of options for social media, there were thousands of forums on their own websites. ICQ handled IMs and away messages was basically twitter. Before YouTube/spotify everyone used Winamp and internet radio streams for music, you didn’t have songs on demand, but compared to local “real” radio or MTV it was an overwhelming about of choice.

    It’s honestly not that much different though.







  • Since nothing is going to stand in their way, how can we make sure they are held accountable for generations to come?

    All that needs done is America threatening to cut off funding.

    If Obama hadn’t have done that, this would have all happened a decade ago

    Biden openly said he’d never do that, and talked shit as VP when Obama did. Kamala said she’d be the same as Biden.

    trump, depends on if someone bribes him more.

    But if America gets a progressive president next with the courage to say “genocide is bad” and actually cut off Israel…

    That will make Israel stop electing genocidal maniacs. The only reason they can vote for people like Bibi, is knowing no matter what they have the backing of America.

    Without that, they wouldn’t constantly be attacking other countries.

    It’s like if you had a annoying little brother that picks on everyone despite being small and weak, because if shit goes down, you protect them

    Sometimes, you got to let your little bro learn what happens when no one else fights their fights for them…

    Driving the news: Sirens sounded across Israel on Thursday night. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared a special state of emergency across the entire country.

    “Following the State of Israel’s preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the state of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future,” Katz said.

    Who would have guessed Israel would surprise attack another country and then immediately play the victim…


  • Like, why did you manufacture this intractable problem by mandating clothing and shaming nudity in the first place?

    You think humans invented clothing because of shame?

    That’s completely backwards, we invented clothing for protection, and not seeing everything all the time led to shame when someone could see us.

    Like, I’m pretty sure hermit crabs feel something similar to shame when they don’t have a shell, they need something to drive them to not only protect themselves, but to ensure they can reproduce and raise their young. That’s why humans instinctually get weird about exposed genitals and boobs, those are the most important parts of a human from an evolutionary perspective.

    I get what you’re trying to say, it’s just you’re going about it completely backwards




  • if they are on lemmy, that to me points towards them wanting to establish a community here. why? no idea.

    To get attention…

    Commenting on their posts to tell them they’re wrong, upvoting people who already have, or even downvoting the post is all “engagement” which shoves the problematic community down every one else’s feed. Even making those “community spotlights” fairly regularly.

    I mean, you’re flat out saying you don’t understand, I’m putting effort in to help you explain why not to feed the trolls…

    This isn’t new, this is basic internet literacy. They might not even be MAGA, they just know if they say there are, a steady stream of people will go to their communities, get banned, and then complain.

    Which just draws more people into the cycle

    Do you honestly not understand that?



  • It’s not exactly a secret, but neither is that .world really wants to federate with everyone.

    You can block the whole instance yourself, as well as individual communities.

    But anytime you see one about “conservatism” it’s gonna be a troll community. Either trolling everyone else, or to troll the handful of conservatives that are on here

    Don’t get hung up on idiots using the internet, just block them and move on




  • Although the chatbot had been given a “baseline board” to learn the game and identify pieces, it kept mixing up rooks and bishops, misread moves, and “repeatedly lost track” of where its pieces were. To make matters worse, as Caruso explained, ChatGPT also blamed Atari’s icons for being “too abstract to recognize” — but when he switched the game over to standard notation, it didn’t perform any better.

    For an hour-and-a-half, ChatGPT “made enough blunders to get laughed out of a 3rd grade chess club” while insisting over and over again that it would win “if we just started over,” Caruso noted. (And yes, it’s kind of creepy that the chatbot apparently referred to itself and the human it was interfacing with as “we.”)

    It’s fucking insane it couldn’t keep track of a board…

    And it’s concerning how confident it is that it will work, because the idiots asking it stuff will believe it. It’ll keep failing and keep saying next time will work, because it’s built to maximize engagement.
