BEZORP

This is a commonly held belief and one that I had for most of my life. I don’t know what finally did it for me, but the book Trekonomics definitely gave me a push.

Great I really wanted that.

I wonder how this will affect the right to be forgotten. It’s not like theyre going to un-train any models or remove any derivative content

Can’t say personally, but for many it’s the first time they’re even looking at what other engines have to offer.

I know a few nurses in the neighbourhood and this is basically their survival strategy.

I can’t really think of a case where a post’s image isn’t relevant to the associated discussion. Even if it’s just a nonsense post with an unrelated image, knowing what the irrelevant image is about would help make sense of the discussion.

Not enough info is better than nothing. Because if it’s nothing, you can’t tell if the person who shared the image is lazy or decided the alt text wasn’t necessary for this particular picture

They’re neat (I’ve only tried Uni’s), though imho I prefer the manual control of a regular mech/pencil when writing in cursive, because then I can choose when to rotate the lead (ie by rotating the entire pencils).

If you’re used to writing with pencils you don’t even think about it anymore. It’s as natural as dotting an i.

I think this and the stuff happening at Twitter are a nice kickstart to get lemmy and other ferdiverse stuff going.

Long live the ferdervers!

But seriously, I’m with you in sentiment. I’m never going back to the centralised/for-profit soc med services.

All their value comes from the free interactions between people chatting, and they think they deserve to get rich for renting the hall. Fuck that, we can just rent the infrastructure ourselves if that’s what it takes to talk in peace.

Welcome!

Usually play some Doom 1 or 2, a level or an episode, or Minecraft if I have more time, but I’m in a boring replay/comfort phase because work is kicking my ass atm

That’s nice. I’m glad to hear it
