To expand on this, the problem with huge releases is that bugs tend to pile up along with the new features, simply because more stuff has been changed. You’re much more likely to experience a painful release if you pile in months of changes, and this is doubly true for a distributed system with no rigorous testing of the system itself instead of just units

Yeah as someone who had to deal with GDPR in a professional capacity, it’s probably better to just assume that content written by users contains PII since you really have no way of telling whether it does or doesn’t.

Naturally you can just ignore that and leave the content as-is, but then you run the risk of some data protection authority ruining your day.

You’re very much in the minority, then; it’s absolutely terrible from a usability perspective.

Good that websockets are going. Lemmy sucks up battery like nobody’s business and for ultimately a negative payout

They could well try to pull the classic “embrace, extend, extinguish” move. Appear to embrace an open standard, then start writing proprietary extensions for it, and then use their clout to get everyone to stay on their network and abandon the open source version (because everyone’s on Meta’s network)

I don’t see why people would even go to a site to read AI generated articles and be bombarded with ads.

Doesn’t have to be voluntary on the user’s part. Maybe they clicked a link on Google? Or maybe a site they’ve been reading for ages suddenly switches to “AI editors” and it’s never really announced to the users in a clear way

Heh yeah I think it’s superior to Space Karen

Anyway, supposedly the Manson Family had this idea about a major race war (predicted by The Beatles’ White Album, of all things).

People believe the darndest things

Honestly no idea, I don’t really know anything about him except that he killed people. Wasn’t there some sort of group too?

I mean wasn’t it Spez who’s gone off the survivalist deep end? If I recall right he had some pretty interesting ideas, something along the lines of how he’d rule over us plebs after the collapse comes and he and his private army emerge from his rich person doomsday bunker. Supporting Space Himmler is par for the course

I often specifically used to search eg. site:reddit.com turboencabulator review or whatever, because on many topics just searching the entire web with Google will give you pages and pages of absolute garbage by sites that mainly exist to churn out (often stolen) low quality search keyword-laden content – especially on tech stuff – to generate ad views

I really wouldn’t tell anyone to rely on ChatGPT for technical support. It’s fine if you already sort of know what you’re doing, but it has a tendency to “lie” very convincingly and come up with either broken or even potentially harmful solutions

Sort of as an aside, but my native language is Finnish and I’ve found that I tend to code in English: in my personal projects all my names etc. are in English, but the comments in Finnish. I guess it’s partially because all the other code I interface with is in English, so it just makes more sense to use the same language for identifiers so there isn’t as much of an “impedance mismatch”

Just as a note, there’s a couple of Deck communities. I’m on [email protected] (beehaw.org/c/[email protected]) and [email protected] (beehaw.org/c/[email protected]) at the moment. The one on Sopuli seem to be a bit more active

They’re “questioning the methodology” because they didn’t like the answer. While, yes, being skeptical is good, this skepticism wouldn’t even be happening if the result was what gAmErS wanted it to be
