What would be a solution to this conflict?

Guess it’s time for another FPS hit…

Is it August already? Man, time flies.

ram OP , 10 months ago to fediverse in Do posts from instances that don't allow downvotes have an unfair advantage?

Yes, but if you then downvoted the post it would still show a score of 10 in B and C instead of 9. This is the first of the two advantages I described. Even worse, if the post received 2 downvotes from ten different instances it would still show a score of 10 or 8 instead of -10.

Remember when android phones fitted in hands?

ram , 10 months ago to technology in Elon Musk’s ‘fund your legal bill’ tweet is a brand new level of bullshit

Under his tweet a lot of “verified” (=right wing) accounts plauded this and asked to fight employers who fired employees for having written something homophobic

Any examples of that?

ram , 10 months ago to linux in Lemmy Defederation Sync (LDS) to keep your block list up to date

this process and improves Lemmy’s capability to protect it’s users from spam and brigading

That assumes defederation only happens in those cases. You have an account from lemmy.world, so I guess you trust that instance. You know, the same instance that preemptively defederated from hexbear.net for political reasons. You see the problem?

This is a terrible idea that steers lemmy into being an echo chamber. Let admins use their own judgement.

ram , 10 months ago to technology in “AI” Hurts Consumers and Workers -- and Isn’t Intelligent

Let’s see…

They may create text which appears to human eyes like the result of thinking, reasoning, or understanding, but it is in fact anything but.

For generation of fictional text and images that’s fine.

There is a pack mentality in rushing to invest in these tools, while overlooking the fact that they threaten workers

Like any other case of automation in the history of society.

[…] and impact consumers by creating lesser quality products

That sounds very subjective.

and allowing more erroneous outputs.

Large language models should not be used as a source of facts, that’s why they all warn you about their limitations. LLMs are tools and should be used properly. A blow torch can get your balls burnt if used improperly.

That sounds like a pyramid scheme.
