I really like chromes tab grouping features, I wish firefox had that. But adblock is more important than groups so the change wasn’t too hard to deal with

See the world they said, it’ll be fun they said.

No, but for real, that is terrible. Poor people finally get out of their prison country only to be used as cannon fodder. Wars are so stupid.

Yeah, I could have, but it would have taken longer than 5 minutes of work, and I’m not nearly knowledgeable enough to take all the factors into account. I was posting this while taking a quick break etc.

I was just trying to add some hope to an otherwise gloomy topic.

But you’re right, I’m sure with some effort I could probably have at least a ballpark idea.

I saw a post the other day here that was saying something along the lines of “because china’s car market is swapping to EV’s we might be at the tipping point for climate change either in 2024 or 2025”

Which if true would be really nice. I have no idea of the validity of that claim, but i just wanted to add it. Maybe we aren’t so screwed? Fingers crossed I guess :3

If I’m recalling correctly, a couple of the larger subs had mods stop completely, and reddit just replaced them with power mods

Same. There’s been a few times I’ve needed info from reddit subs, but I’ve never interacted since. I miss some of the activity in the more niche subreddits, but I’m more productive with my time now so I guess that’s good lol

In college a few years ago I had a instructor who believed arthritis was made up in a person’s head.

I had a car behind me with LED headlights the other day. When I would look in my rear view mirror, it appeared fine, but if I focused on the road, the refresh rate on the LED’s created a strobing effect, which was extremely distracting.

Oh ohh or my other favorite is when people have massive trucks that illuminate your whole car because of their lights. It would be nice if there was a required standard

Edit: Honestly, if it wasn’t for urban sprawl, stupidly cold winters, and these massive vehicles with aggressive drivers, I would prefer to just bike.

I wouldn’t have guessed this would be the tipping point, but I’m excited to hear more about this in the future. This would be amazing news

It sucks knowing there’s going to be kids indoctrinated like this. I don’t honestly understand the Russians’ long-term goals either. At this point, they’re self destructing. I don’t see how this can end well for anyone involved

A few coworkers were talking about some new LLM that can create realistic sounding podcasts. Aside from a few vocal blunders, it was getting difficult to tell if the voices were AI or not. It’s getting concerning at this point.

I know not to trust stuff. But there’s so many people who just trust things or get fooled (even if they do know better). After hearing that generated podcast, im sure I’ll be fooled soon enough. It’s already exhausting and the worst part hasn’t come yet lol

Well they’ve gone after minorities, gay people, and women. I think we’re on track for them to target anyone with a disability and then they’ll move on to anyone who doesn’t have blond hair and blue eyes

That would be cool though

Amazon had been selling radioactive jewlery

Dude, what a bummer. Like, I’m glad we have lemmy but there’s certain subs and such that reddit had that aren’t available here.

On one hand it has completely cured my reddit addiction, which is awesome. I’ve put a lot of time into more productive endeavors. But on the other hand, I do miss finding niche subs that had amazing communities.

Aaron Swartz wouldn’t have wanted this

Thank you for breaking me out of the loop

I’m Canadian but was surprised to recently see two types of onigiri in my local 7/11. I looked at it in shock, and then sighed because I would absolutely love that. But there’s no way in hell I’m eating that from a gas station.

I would end up like Fry from Futurama, but instead of worms that make me smart, knowing my luck, I would get a parasite/illness that puts me in a coma lol.

After I looked at it, I walked over to the slurpee machines and grimaced at the thought of gas station sushi while noticing how the floors are perpetually sticky/ moist and nothing looks clean

I did, however, notice slurpee themed merch, and I’m tempted to buy a shirt

I’ve been tasked with some notion testing and research this week. I tried asking chat gpt some simple questions, and it kept feeding me this exact scenario over and over. I guess notion doesn’t like any kind of recursion. Or at least not without extensions being added.
