Well I mean it’s unclear to me that we’re much worse than previous points in history.

That's interesting, because to me it's very clear. After all, small isolated pockets of people ruining their economy and the environment they depend on is quite a bit different from all of humanity everywhere doing this.

Because the unintended consequences of capitalism, due to human psychology, are the destruction of the substrate it relies upon and that humans require for survival (as is so very demonstrable right now), and (again, due to human psychology and our tribal and hierarchical nature) the increasing imbalance of wealth (and therefore power) to a select few (who are generally making the former issue far worse).

It's almost certainly hiding vents or pipes that needed to be routed there. As for the carpeting, somebody no doubt thought it would be cool, or else if for sound dampening.

Yup, that's the same one I use as well.

Somebody lied to get out of trouble?!? What a clever strategy!

I convinced another user to invite me over IRC. That’s probably the worst medium for convincing someone that you’re human

Hahah, I'll say!

How would you design a test that only a human can pass, but a bot cannot?

Very simple.

In every area of the world, there are one or more volunteers depending on population / 100 sq km. When someone wants to sign up, they knock on this person's door and shakes their hand. The volunteer approves the sign-up as human. For disabled folks, a subset of volunteers will go to them to do this. In extremely remote area, various individual workarounds can be applied.

WTF, I ain't watching an hour long video on a stupid fridge! I'll just watch the first few minutes and see what's up.....

........

.....

One hour later.....

Okay, that was really interesting. I really love this channel.

TIL the Technology Connections guy is on Lemmy via Mastadon.

And that's awesome!

 

Thanks for all the feedback on our crossposting bot for bringing linked content here from Reddit! Reviews have been mixed, as expected.

The bot will be turned off for a couple of weeks, or perhaps permanently, while we see how the community grows without the Reddit content.

Happy posting and flying!

 

Thanks to everyone who has given me feedback about our crossposting bot! Reviews have been mixed, as expected. I'm turning off the crossposting bot for now, or perhaps permanently. We'll see how things progress over the next few weeks!

Happy posting and scootering!

 

Thanks to everyone that has posted or DMed about the bot doing the Reddit crossposting, and giving me your thoughts! Reviews have been mixed, which I expected, about whether or not the bot is useful or annoying or somewhere in between. It's getting turned off for now and I'll let the community grow organically.

It can be something used occasionally, turned back on temporarily after two weeks, or scrapped entirely (it's not meant to be permanent regardless). The next couple of weeks and the thoughts and opinions of community members will let me know.

 

Sorry for multiple posts spamming people's feed over the past few hours! Our bot became a bit frisky. I think it's all sorted now.

 

I have a bot to help bring in more content. Images, videos, and other links posted on Reddit are being crossposted here. Don't worry, each will only appear once, and text only posts are not being crossposted.

Feel free to discuss this content at will in the relevant posts. If you want to give suggestions, tell me this is a horrible idea, or have other thoughts and opinions on this, post your thoughts here in this thread.

Oh, those sticky keyboards.....

 

I came across this one on userstyles.world and didn't see it referenced here. It's probably the most 'old reddit' looking of all of the one's I've seen so far.

I use an LLM to edit everything I write.

May I invite you to consider the pitfalls of such an approach?

Does this mean I have to label everything as LLM-generated?

Yes, that would be reasonable imo

 

A community to discuss print science fiction and speculative fiction in all its forms.

I welcome any comments and input into making this a great Lemmy community!

Have fun!

 

Yup, it still works. The hose was replaced long ago, so that's not original. I have a really nice cordless Dyson that I use for day to day vacuuming, but this one lives downstairs and still does the job when its asked of it.
