  • The way to tell so often seems to be if someone has called it AI or Machine Learning.

    AI? "I put this through chatgpt" (or "The media department has us by the balls")

    ML? "I crunched a huge amount of data in a huge amount of ways, and found something interesting"

  • 'Dead heat': Trump pulls even with Harris in NBC News poll

    Jump

  • The only thing I can see really shifting it, is people saying they'll support trump to stay in with their communities, then making excuses why they stayed home on election day.

    And if I'm honest, that's a hell of a hail mary pass.

  • I just got frustrated with it.

    You've got the battle for the survival of an entire planet after they all got biodroned.

    How many chapters that actually detail what happened? It felt like all it did was go

    Attack announced, humans arrive and set up a beach head, daar flattens a few cities in the background.

    Then spends more time talking about how he is burdened and manly as a result of doing it than the actual doing.

    The Hell storyline after that gave me hope, as I trudged through chapters of "cor, look at Adam's muscular muscles muscling", but once that finished, and we started getting storylines like "Why can't we have guns in Folctha? Murica!", I kinda gave up.

  • The main contributor continued writing it on a full novel scale at https://deathworlders.com/ .

    However...Imho after about 40 chapters, it really loses it's way (bar a couple of cool minor plots). And the author goes a bit right wing rhetoric/muscleporn-y.

  • Virgin Media Warns UK Broadband Users Not to Switch Routers Off at Night - ISPreview UK

    Jump

  • It's only Virgin Media to my knowledge who does this. Most of the other providers are happy for you to use anything that works properly for VDSL or FTTP.

    Most FTTP providers fit an ONT that puts the connection back into an RJ45 ethernet connector. Then you connect to the provider using PPPOE. Anything past the ONT, you can do whatever you like.

  • Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

  • This is the thing, the balance of anonymity and preventing people using that anonymity to be a tit. In my opinion, one of the answers is keeping the signal-to-noise high: Make sure that there are enough sensible people in a community that if someone starts acting up, they're alone. And then they can either correct their course, or get banned, ideally before the next moron shows up.

    And part of the way of achieving that is raising the barrier to sign-up, if only a little, and rate limiting.

  • Or that 50% of the users on the discord only went there to find one thing, and probably won't ever interact again. So it looks like a bigger community, while losing accessibility.

  • Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy.

  • This is precisely it. One other point is, some instance want to focus on certain things, and take the risks, where others don't. Our community feddit.uk doesn't do nsfw, because it's not worth the headache for what our main focus is. The guy running lemmynsfw on the other hand, is enthusiastically embracing the challenges involved, and more power to him!

    And in the end, it works. We handle Mr. Brains Pork Balls, they can handle...other balls.
