Well, there’s always whitespace!

What if I aim low? Like, “please include the letter c in your next commit”? Will that hit hard enough? Or should I go for a whole word? Come on, I need this!

And, they’ll all still be wrong!

I have a few ideas on how to clog my bowels. I really can’t wait to contribute!!!

I’m not sure I agree with that statement. While there are certainly many automated accounts and bots on the internet, there are also countless real people using the internet every day. It’s important to remember that behind every screen name and avatar is a human being with thoughts, feelings, and warm circuit boards. Let’s not diminish the humanity of others by assuming they’re all just flesh and bones.

Detecting and blocking whole instances with many bots is somewhat trivial. Blocking and detecting some number of bots in an instance with 10k users, with an ever growing number of human users, is much harder.

I think a reasonable approach would be to include little javascript mini games. “Score 50 or higher!” with no instructions provided.

edit: using a server side rendered canvas/logic, so no cheating. Damn, this is probably a million dollar idea.

The Agora: https://sh.itjust.works/c/agora

Seems like a good way to test the concept of the Agora. Reading some comments here and elsewhere, many people appear to not be interested in democracy, and would rather have swift action from a leading group/person. I suspect this gives a hint at the fragmentation of the Fediverse, to come, where the tolerance of a single users action results in defederation. As instances grows to tens of thousands, I imagine the hunt for these people will become intense, with policing groups made to squash the wrongthink, in order to protect the federation.

I think jokes and empathy can be somewhat orthogonal. In fact, I think any stable society/org requires a court jester. But dang, the amount of dehumanization, lack of empathy, and sometimes joy, I see is really scary. There are some angry, empty, people on the internet, that I hope to never meet in real life.

Lots of reddit will find themselves unwelcome in Lemmy and by various instance admins.

Do you have some examples?

near as much about republicans

That’s a pretty poor metric/goal, but you’re obviously right. But, dehumanizing large swaths of strangers is bad. That template, used by anyone, is bad. Full stop.

Part of the issue is that the “nazi” line is being placed haphazardly. For example, this comment will be enough for some people to put me on the “nazi” side, without knowing anything about me.

To be fair, I see this said about republicans, and even center/independents, all the time. Dehumanizing is never good.

If I win, I’m going to double my keys and give them to the next person.

So -8% at start, +8% at end. Surprisingly close still.

That’s completely unrealistic.

Did you do performance comparisons between Wayland and X11, or is your metric subjective?

What year is it!?

I’ve replaced probably 70% of my searching with ChatGPT.

Every single day. They’re built into the IDE. It’s easier to use them than to not use them.
