Never. I haven’t seen any snide looks or side eyes, either, and if I can’t find something then the ones I’ve seen (in both red and blue states) have been as helpful as can be, trying to find things in library networks or in other formats (ex: Libby).

“Me? Do evil?

Yes.”

Good bot.

Whenever I think of bots selling to other bots I think of this, with apologies for Youtube.

Does it feel like these “game changing” techs have lives that are accelerating? Like there’s the dot com bubble of a decade or so, the NFT craze that lasted a few years, and now AI that’s not been a year.

The Internet is concentrating and getting worse because of it, inundated with ads and bots and bots who make ads and ads for bots, and being existentially threatened by Google’s DRM scheme. NFTs have become a joke, and the vast majority of crypto is not far behind. How long can we play with this new toy? Its lead paint is already peeling.

[…] in blog posts and videos and published memoirs, autistic teens and young adults described living for a decade or more without any way to communicate, while people around them assumed they were intellectually deficient.

On a related note… only 5% of hearing parents with a deaf child will learn sign language.

Yeah, I agree with this suspiciously named man. Whether it happens sooner or later, Reddit’s death is on the horizon, as it will keep making the wrong choices and so steadily lose those communities and content that built it in the first place.

Did Digg die in days?

138k active users to 554k total users is about 25%, which I would imagine is significantly higher than most social media.

Is someone marked an active user if they ever voted or posted a comment/post, or do they drop off if they haven’t done so in 14 days?

If they were just odd they’d have a lot more success because you kind of have to be odd to be good at CS.

It’s more the rapey, incely, tendency to see women as a different and incoherent species that has the women in CS either walking around with their hackles raised all the time or quietly slipping out the back door.

I assume at least half of this needs to go down the throats of oil tycoons in order to have any real effect.

That’s just so sad to me. Is there any place we could tell people to store or upload these things? I hate that we’re losing so much because of one company’s hubris.

Honestly even an instance that’s just “deletedposts.lemmy” or something like that, to save posts that were useful.

Exactly. I don’t want or need to build another McDonalds or Starbucks; I just want to go to the Mom and Pop down the road without worrying if they’ll tank.
