Why would they be depressed and miserable? They’ve had a fantastical thing happen to them, once in a lifetime, even if it’s for a short little while.

Besides, the rats can just do what humans do when faced with mortality - pass down the torch.

What the heck is AI Panic?

btw you missed Meta, they are very significant in the field of AI.

habanhero ,

But that’s all marketing, it’s not specific to AI.

Any company that does marketing is looking to create demand and generate interest. Part of generating interest is tapping into your desire , which could include want to get ahead and not getting left behind.

In terms of data privacy it would become a nightmare.

However I think Zuck would be a massive improvement over spez in terms of strategy, diplomacy, PR rizz and general chill. And this is not a very high bar.

AI / Deepfake forensics will become a growing field.

habanhero ,

That’s one way AI-generated image leaves artifacts and clues. It could even be traces that cannot be seen by human eyes. There will be other signals and it will probably be arms race where forensics will improve, but AI will get even better, so on and so forth. Time will tell.

It’s hard to get an exact number but you can extrapolate based on the growth of Lemmy in the last few weeks. While not record-breaking, it is quite an impressive growth.

Also note that not everyone who left Reddit came to Lemmy. There is also Kbin, Tildes and alternative. Some never really left at all.

I think the real damage done to Reddit (ultimately by themselves) is showing the world that there are real alternatives (even if a bit rough around the edges). They are materializing and growing as threats and if Reddit doesn’t step up their game, they could be in some real trouble.

The other possibility is that some other company might step up and build a Reddit clone, much like what Meta’s Threads is to Twitter, once they see that there is blood in the water and a potential to displace Reddit as the “frontpage of the Internet”. Heck, even Threads is built on the Fediverse, maybe a bigcorp-backed Reddit clone might be as well.

habanhero ,

For you and for me maybe. For many others, they are still happily scrolling away on the official app.

habanhero ,

Yep, 100% agree. Reddit’s biggest mistake this time is mishandling PR so bad that they basically gave Lemmy, kBin etc a seat at the table for free. And with the poor management at the helm, it’s going to be a pattern of bad behaviors and Reddit is bound to mess up again.

Simplified way to look at it:

Instance is like a server, it hosts your account and some communities.

Communities are like “subreddits”. It has to created / operated on one of the instances, but is accessible to all federated instances (which is largely the norm).

An analogy is email. You can choose your email provider (Gmail, Protonmail, Fastmail etc) and you will have an unique email address based on that provider (e.g. [email protected] is different from [email protected]), but you will have the ability to send emails to anyone (unless you are blocked).

IMO Samsung Internet is one of the best Android browsers out there. Give it a try!

habanhero ,

It’s not just for Samsung phones, it works perfectly on my Pixel and Razer Phone as well. The Adblocking is okay but the design + the dark mode for all websites is the killer feature for me.

The answer is Voyager.

You guys play games on the Deck?

If you break pizza down to its simplest form - flatbread and toppings - it’s been around for a very long time.

habanhero ,

Yes, but it’s a feature, not a bug.

It’s a super low investment and quick way to identify people you should avoid.

slide into his DMs obviously

Is Mr Beast a good person?

I know this is going to sound like some clickbait bullshit title, but I’m genuinely curious, asking in good faith. My two oldest sons are enamored with him, and he seems like a genuine guy, so I’m asking - is he a nice guy? If you google the question, you get a bunch of reddit hate, which I don’t always trust,...

habanhero ,

I would ask a different question - is Mr. Beast a good role model for the kids or not? Whether he’s a “good person” or not is largely irrelevant, the fact is he is doing good.

Personally I’m a big fan of his philathropy, but I don’t think he makes for a good role model. He’s found a way to influence and doing good for the world, but I don’t think it’s easily replicable nor should kids try to emulate him - because to be Mr. Beast, you need to be in the influencer / clout-chasing game, which can have roads that lead to success but at the end of the day, it’s an endless game of trying to get eyeballs and capture attention.

I would encourage the kids to forge their own path and not necessarily emulate Beast, but try to make the types of impact he makes in the world.

I just started playing Max Payne 3, which released in 2013. The game aged well, still looks great and a ton of fun.

On a related note, the Steam Deck is the perfect platform for Patient Gamers. It runs these older titles really well, and the portability + ability to suspend / resume games at any time is a game-changer (pun intended).

Why are so many people rushing to turn Lemmy into the next Reddit?

habanhero ,

Sure, and Lemmy existed prior to the “Reddit exodus”, so people like Lemmy too.

Maybe enjoy Lemmy for what it is, before trying to bend and twist it into Reddit’s image? Why not consider it a fresh start.
