Anyone got any good alternatives to #stackoverflow? in c/programming@kbin.social

Let's be real, SO didn't need AI, most of it was already a shit salad. It became increasingly less useful from 2016 to now.

He might be popular here on left-wing Internet forums, but his voters don't turn out.

Bernie and Warren are great at pushing progressive policies into the public consciousness, don't get me wrong.

Apple denies violating US court order in Epic Games lawsuit in c/games@sh.itjust.works
[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.social 8 points 6 months ago

The Apple filing criticized what it called an attempt by Epic to make Apple's "tools and technologies available to developers for free."

Wouldn't that be fucking great. Man, if only.

Do the "Ernest needs to add more maintainers to KBin!" comments remind anyone else of the xz social engineering malarkey? in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social
[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.social 2 points 7 months ago

When I started to read breakdowns about the social engineering behind the xz backdoor I was like, "Waaaaitaminute, I've seen that sort of talk before." I found it notable to point out the similarity and maybe poke around at it.

People decided to use the thread (to my excessive chagrin) to talk shit about kbin and rehash the exact same pressures I was attempting to analyze.

It's a shame, because I noticed similar patterns was looking forward to some good discussion about it here. Alas...

I mean... they didn't specify it had to be random (or even uniform)? But yeah, it's a good showcase of how GPT acquired the same biases as people, from people..

'Donald Trump did this': New Biden abortion ad features a woman who says she almost died because of the Texas ban in c/politics@lemmy.world

I think you got the wrong takeaway from that story... The character of God rebukes the dead man for not accepting the practical help of other people. It's just framed as though God sent the rescuers to convince the "believes in miracles" crowd that no such things exist.

Consider a simple rewording: instead of "I sent you two boats and a helicopter" you read "Two boats and a helicopter came to save you." This solves your only hangup and doesn't even change the story. Your beef is with the aesthetic component, not the meaning of the story.

It turns out, if people in an online community really don't like what you're doing, they can turn to harassment, threats, or worse to try to shut you down.

Clickbait Title: if the price is zero then you can buy all the shares

I tell you what, when you try and tell this story you either sum it up in ten minutes with the broadest strokes or you settle in for a rabbit hole made entirely out of onions and ogres. Conspiracy theorists flock together and constantly try and rope each other into the orbit of their personal hobby horse conspiracy, so once you break the surface suddenly you're digging through endless side stories, each with their own cast of characters, trying to figure out if some tertiary claim is true, was maybe true in the past but is no longer true, or was never true, and discover that the only sources on the matter are the same three people quoting each other in an endless circle of false legitimacy.

Oddly, I don't feel disgusted about having a robust list of blocked users, communities, and domains on the fediverse. Instead it actually feels like I have some level of control over what I see, rathe (kbin.social)
 

Oddly, I don't feel disgusted about having a robust list of blocked users, communities, and domains on the fediverse. Instead it actually feels like I have some level of control over what I see, rather than say, "suggesting" to YouTube that I don't want to see more neo-nazi propaganda and hoping it actually listens to me.

Alright I'm liking Baldur's Gate 3 so far. The facial animations are very expressive, but does anyone notice the characters in a conversation kinda teleport around a lot? Is that just me? (kbin.social)
