Not since they shut down API access. Now it’s obvious why they did that.

The only way Microsoft or OpenAI would know this would be to spy on chatbot sessions. I’m sure the terms of service—if I bothered to read them—gives them that permission.

Well there’s your problem.

You shall not think of living things in hierarchical order (x is better than y)

Having to choose between my child and my dog would be a horrible choice to have to make, but I know exactly how I would make it.

You seem like someone who might be interested in !OriginalDocuments. link

Would it really matter? It’s just as easy to subscribe and then say/do whatever. Only accounts that have been subscribed for a period of time? Subscribe and wait. Have a certain post and/or comment reputation? It’s not terribly hard to speak to a specific audience and accomplish that. Make any of those extra parameters too severe, and you limit the community growth.

Crowdsourcing of ideas means that bad ideas are no worse than good ones, and in an evolutionary way, they’re probably better at replication, strength, retention - and when a core tenet of that “bad” idea is that you must actively reject the opposing good ideas, that’s how bad ideas overtake good ones.

I wouldn’t file taxes a site that doesn’t enforce HTTPS at its default root page.

Low rolling resistance tires tend to be not very great in snow. They get that low rolling resistance partly by not having a very sticky compound, and partly by not having a very aggressive tread pattern (among other things, I’m sure). Both of those factors are going to have an impact on traction on anything but dry pavement.

It might also be due to other design choices. I’ve got a 2015 Ford Fusion PHEV, and I had a 2013 Fusion Hybrid before that; they suck so bad in the snow with normal all-season tires that I have to keep a finger on the electric parking brake switch to make sure I can stop if there’s any snow on the ground.

I said no such thing.

Here’s another way: stop referring to everything “Twitter-like” as Mastodon. Stop referring to everything “Reddit-like” as Lemmy. Those are both client platforms through which one can access ActivityPub content.

Conflating the platform with the provider with the protocol with the content is what’s confusing people.

Request for clarifications “for beginners”:

systemd, XOrg, Wayland - you have mentioned those without an explanation of what they are.

Last time I did anything with linux, Ubuntu was all the rage. I’m interested in hearing more details about what makes it a distro to avoid.

@snaptastic, please let me know if this comment is relevant enough.

Here I am, all ready to give it a whirl. Seems like a tutorial is in order.

@snaptastic Please let me know whether this comment passes your relevancy test.

Somebody mentioned Voodoo cards, I had a bit of information that related to that. That’s how discussions work; they kind of go where they go.

But I’ll make absolutely sure to get your permission before I comment again.

I bet you’re fun at parties.

Voodoo cards are worth money to the right people. They’re used in a bunch of coin-op arcade games.

What about his deal with Microsoft?

Solution: be less productive.

oh no somebody’s mad

No idea, I don’t use it.
