squid cat on panel two is kind of cute though, tbh

Wait, what’s the connection between monkeys and gazelles that makes this make sense?

I’ve used it on occasion…. IMO it’s not bad at finding you something related to your query, but it pales in comparison to google for finding something specific.

Yeah… decades ago when I was a socially awkward teenager, I actually was called out for that usage by people who were definitely not terminally online (hard to accomplish via dialup)…. and then I reflected and made a point not to do that anymore.

If you don’t get called out irl for that, this probably is primarily a reflection of the culture of the people you are associating with.

LLMs aren’t AI… they’re essentially a glorified autocorrect system that are stuck at the surface level.

Just for the record, Bedrock has free mods too. If they’re packaged appropriately, they even install automatically when you open them. The main difference is there isn’t a way to lock bedrock to a specific release version, so things tend to break over time as the game changes. This make the very large & complicated compilation mod packs impractical on Bedrock.

I wish the article touched on the nano particles more… like, what happens to them after you’re done? Are they dissolved or expelled (or do they pile up in various parts of the body and cause chronic issues…)?

This is a new Atlantic Ocean / Gulf of Mexico tropical weather blog from the meteorologists of Space City Weather (of local
Houston fame). They’ve always done a good job when things get nearby Houston, so I have high hopes for this as well.

/r/tropicalweather has always been a good resource as well… this is one of the things I have no problem going back to Reddit for specifically.

I wonder if this will be embraced officially by publishers, or just left as a DIY thing for enthusiasts.

To the best of my knowledge, this is a temporary kbin-specific thing. Pretty sure I saw Ernest mention there is a change in the works with the next update… in fact: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/116811/PSA-every-interaction-you-make-with-various-posts-on-kbin#entry-comment-462816

I had to scroll a bit but I did come across some (1-2 hr old) posts from Beehaw and the such eventually. It did seem a bit harder to find these with the newest tab as opposed to the other sorting options, but that might just be coincidence.

Hmm, 63 upvotes and two comments… there is certain level of irony here.

Make sure you didn’t accidentally switch to the non-federated view (you can find this federation toggle if you click the triangle icon next to the UI settings icon).

I was thinking about the long term perception of these protests, assuming Reddit does not change course… and after the users who are ticked off get bored / leave for other platforms, the protesting will be seen as trolling by more and more of the remaining users. Eventually there wont be majority support within subscribers for these sorts of actions. Perhaps Reddits supposed mod referendum would come into play here.

On the other hand, subreddits were always before beholden to the whims of the mod hierarchy, and there’s no particular need to do anything to the existing subs to resolve these protests. After all, there’s certainly nothing stopping people from creating admin-friendly alternative subreddits. I doubt any subs with clean sweeps of the moderator team will be coming back quite the same as before anyways.

While I understand why there is lots of negative energy about Reddit right now, there’s no need to be hostile to people who still want to use it—it is still a massive repository of information and serves a ton of different communities, after all.

People should be on Reddit if they want to be on Reddit, and be here if they want to be here, and that’s not an insult to anyone.

I don’t think Reddit is going to change course here (or, in the future)… at some point protesters are going to have to give up, get out, or become increasingly perceived as trolls.

Peer pressure is useful in tempering these behaviors, at least insomuch as people fear getting caught and called out for their actions. The ones who most need this are probably the least likely to actually regard their female colleagues as peers, so hopefully there will be more effort from men like this speaking out in the future as well.

But it this case, it’s more like… you’re mowing your neighbor’s lawn at his invitation, you have to follow his guidelines or be fired, and when you mow his lawn he saves money because he doesn’t have to have the lawn care service come.
