Why would one though? All the bots are on Twitter now because in order to fight Bots, Elon encouraged massive abuse of bots and ChatGPT with his new monetization scheme that earns you money the more impressions and engagement you get on your posts.

True. To me, Lemmy feels somewhat more like the old vBulletin forums I used to browse 15 years ago.

Warte, die Gurtpflicht ist in Teilen der Gesellschaft noch umstritten???

I think it all depends on how good our tools to detect AI generated content become. If it is not distinguishable, then the internet is probably about to be flooded by AI generated content which in turn means AI is going to be trained more and more with AI content, degrading the model in the process.

I don’t think the motivation matters. They will just spin it in any way they think it will benefit them.

Not from the US and I don’t understand why one would support a candidate just because he survived an assassination attempt. Can somebody explain the logic behind this?

Ah yes, this year is definitely the year of the Linux desktop. For real this time!

How is this going to end?

Google blocks access to it’s services for Firefox altogether? Maybe even ban it from the Play Store? That would finally give me a real incentive to install some CFW.

I use Kubuntu in mostly default configuration. Am I special or a normie?

Is it an unofficial reddit client? How are they getting around the API prices? Webscraping?

I tried only Jerboa and that’s what I stuck with. It loads fast and has every feature I want. Compare that to the official Reddit app, which is a slog on even high end devices. Seriously, what are they doing that it loads SO SLOW?

It’s already too late. Google has a monopoly on the browser market. Do you think your regular normie would continue to use Firefox if Netflix, Instagram, TokTok etc. don’t work anymore?

There is nothing we can do. The internet of old is already lost.

That’s why I kinda don’t like Python and JavaScript anymore. Every time I want types for a library it’s gonna take me time to get it working. For every serious project I do, I use a strongly typed language.

The difference is that this is an open source community driven effort. Reddit is a for profit business. On that basis, I give Lemmy a lot more leeway when it comes to bugs. Reddit just turned into a slog over the last few years BECAUSE they try to monetize it to death.

I only joined Lemmy yesterday and I plan on using both for now but this site and app are already a so much better experience without ads and everything loads lightning fast. And then I open reddit and I have to look at the spinning circle everytime I click on something. For some reason, it’s even worse on desktop. That shit feels so unresponsive.
