In case anyone is curious and lazy, the origin of the name is Czech (for forced labor, if Wikipedia is to believed) and not English. Karel Capek wrote a play where he coined the term, and the name stuck despite his robots being biological

That’s dark man.

I probably make the same face

Sleepnut ,

Give picture, or it’s a like.

Cybermass , to cat in I found this cute cat outside and took them in, it looks like their tail got all ruffed up because there's no fur on it. Does anyone know what breed it is?

That is obviously not a cat, it’s a horse, and you should probably return it to the pond you found it in.

BitterSweet ,

Obviously wrong, clearly with that fur it’s a Catfish, you should make it a nest and let if fly away.

dipbeneaththelasers ,

Incorrect. With those ears it's obviously a teenager; you should feed it adderall and put it in the shower.

BitterSweet ,

I didn’t know I should be giving my teenagers adderall, I’ve just been giving it vbucks and gamer sups energy powder.

Trundle ,

That’s not a horse, it’s a damned butterfly and you know it!

File a complaint with the government. I’m not sure which agency, but there is definitely one for that.

Chromium could be spying on you, as it communicates with google servers. You should use ungoogled-chromium, and hope they did a good job…

spoileror just use Firefox

dhruv ,

That’s kind of awesome actually. I’ve been looking to replace brave for a while now while retaining the chromium feel.

Using ungoogled-chromium still contributes to Google’s browser engine monoculture.

I love how his second response can also be true even if he is a robot.

DmMacniel , to fediverse in Lemmy is being filled with ragebait and doombait from new accounts. This is what drove me and others away from Reddit.

If what you think about those posters is true then those posts will eventually stop since there is no karma dopamine to get on Lemmy.

To improve your Lemmy home page, let’s fight climate change and end corporations’ ownership of Congress and America.

Game devs do try, but it’s hard when the problem are the losers with superiority complexes who lack control over their own lives.

ProfessorZhu , to lemmyshitpost in My Lemmy experience so far
@ProfessorZhu@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I have seen so much more porn on a single night of reddit than I have the entire time I’ve been on lemmy. I feel this is just a weird psyop to scare people away from the “degenerate leftist place!”

Mr_Buscemi ,
@Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Really? I’ve been blocking porn communities constantly since my app had the option a few days ago.

I’ve blocked at least 7 in just the last 12 hours.

I’m surprised you haven’t came across all the ai generated porn subs while browsing /all/

I just checked my filters and I’ve blocked 50 porn communities within the last 5 days.

fwdworld ,

Yeah NSFW should be banned from showing up on the all tab.

Mr_Buscemi ,
@Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

That shouldn’t happen. The issue is more that the nsfw flair is used for a ton of things besides just porn. Same issue that Reddit has.

They just need to make a separate tag for porn here. Otherwise you’ll miss out on posts that aren’t porn but flaired NSFW for any other reason.

Nahaelem , to technology in No Thanks—Why I'm Avoiding Instagram Threads.

Honestly! I don’t think a lot of people care about privacy.

ward2k ,

Honestly if you’re using Lemmy all this information is already publicly accessible, any public forum isnt privacy friendly

Nahaelem ,

I’m not talking about the public stuff, because that’s not where the money is for Meta. Here is the stuff the Thread app collects https://i.imgur.com/pAEPSGx.jpg

Now juxtapose that with what the Lemmy app collects.

ward2k ,

Sorry misunderstood your comment, yeah Threads/Meta is god awful for collecting data wouldn’t want to touch them personally

There definitely is money in it for Meta though, just yesterday there was quite a popular post showing the types of data that is available to both users and instance owners. If one wanted to they could use things such as your upvotes and down votes to build a sort of profile about you, your political affiliations, interests etc

Meta isn’t just a problem, ad companies can easily set up an instance to start collecting data from other servers

@trouser_mouse@lemmy.world avatar

I’m mainly avoiding it because it’s dumb

BobVersionFour ,

That. I never understood the usefullness of twitter anyway so i won't find Threads usefull either

Zero ,
@Zero@ezekielrage.com avatar

It’s because you don’t idolize celebrities and other famous figures enough to know what they do daily.

danielbln ,

Garbage in, garbage out. I use(d) Twitter to follow a bunch of high profile Machine Learning and Software Engineering professionals, and my (non algorithmic) feed was rather useful and informative.

BraveSirZaphod ,
@BraveSirZaphod@kbin.social avatar

There were a lot more people on Twitter than pop culture celebrities.

In pretty much any field you can think of, some of its leading figures would be on there. Economics, urbanism, tech, astronomy, game developers, journalists, fan communities of essentially any creative work, communities for marginalized identities, pretty much any interest was well-represented there.

Swictor ,

It was great for artists and scientists. My twitter feed was mainly filled with paleoartists and paleontologists bickering about the fullness of t rex lips and I sorely miss it.
