I was particularly fond of the naming:

Really is isn’t it? A friend made this and forced me to be an alpha tester, and I just had to share.

Wonder what the reasoning behind that is. Some of the takes people (devs and users) have had on Lemmy design decisions have been frankly a bit weird too – like when someone requested instance blocking so they could block Lemmygrad:

Nutomic: Would it be an option for you to switch to another instance which blocks lemmygrad.ml? For example https://sopuli.xyz/ or https://beehaw.org/

dessalines: This may be a non-issue, because I’ve added an easy way to block communities from that community page in the next release (you could already block them by going into your user settings). So you could just block communities from instances you’d rather not see, as they show up in your feed.

I kind of agree with nutomic tho, that if you don’t want to see communism in your feed, you’re better off signing up for an explicitly anti-communist instance.

And someone suggested instance blocks be logged and reported to admins:

ericjmorey: The implementation of this feature should include a log and reporting accessable to instance admins of when a blocking action was taken and the current state of which instances are being blocked by which accounts.

Weird API. Returning the text for deleted comments and then expecting clients to redact it seems highly silly

Heartwarming ❤️

And the thing is, I think the reality is even worse than that.

Current AI models aren’t going to lead to general AI, we need something radically different. The current “static” neural network models just won’t cut it, we need something like spiking neural networks so the AI can be “on” all the time.

Actual AGI is probably still so far away that I doubt mass-scale industrial society has enough years left before either the climate or some other human-caused idiotic omnifuck kicks the chair away from under it.

We meatbags have to be the absolute worst role models for AIs

Why do people still think this is simply a boomer problem? After the recent election even the US is waking up to the fact that Gen Z (and younger) generations are much more conservative than Millennials.

This is not a generational issue, the problem is not age. The problem is conservatism.

As a label “cringe” is just like “simping”: normal human behavior that upsets conservative weirdos

Where there is a will, there is a way

Ain’t no guys here

Well it certainly does for the not-a-gynecologist at least

Is this implying that “me” isn’t wearing any underwear?

Technically speaking your man don’t even man

Calling reverse() on a function should return its inverse

"E".reverse() == "∃"

Or the one about how he got twisted into a knot

The fact that people are so insulated from the suffering of the animals they eat is part of the problem
