  • Is there a way to have a less depressing Lemmy experience?

    Jump

  • I just block a lot of communities like that. It’s easy in the Voyager app to do this on Lemmy. I also have some filters set up for some of the common words that are used in the doom and gloom posts like what you’re talking about.

    It helps out a lot to decrease a lot of the overly negative stuff.

    If you find yourself wanting some of it back, maybe you could create a second account that you could log into as you feel it is needed? Voyager allows me to switch between accounts very easily. Or it did, I haven’t had a secondary account in some time, but I did have that function last time I needed it.

  • If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it?

    Jump

  • A sequel to Blood Wake or at least a spiritual successor.

    Not many people know about this game but I feel it would do somewhat well with online multiplayer. I was in it for the single player story. I’m still intrigued by the world they created.

  • What app is so useful, you can’t believe it’s free?

    Jump

  • LibreOffice (and Open Office). When Microsoft Office is $200 or a monthly subscription.

    I just used LibreOffice Writer to update my resume a few minutes ago and it’s a bit to switch to but it makes sense and I loveeeee the UI that caters to both people who prefer classic Office (‘97-2003) or those who prefer the more modern UI (‘07 and newer).

    It does get a bit annoying because it is so powerful that it has a mind of its own and tries to do things for you, like formatting, but if you’re patient (like I was just now), it’ll work out for you and be really great.

  • Does anyone else have a negative perception of a product/service solely because of spam advertising?

    Jump

  • I’ve seen that as well. Good way to smash someone’s car/house window one day.

    You reminded me of this guy who used to put a 3x5 note card with his handwriting on it and would put it on select cars in the neighborhood saying “I buy junk cars”. Basically only on cars that didn’t look to be in the best shape.

    Way to go disrespecting people you want to do business with!

  • I often wonder who is buying these?? I can somewhat understand NordVPN, but Raycons?? They’re almost as expensive as name brand earbuds but come off as a cheap dollar store brand. But I guess people really like their fav YouTube channels to actually buy these?

  • Does anyone else have a negative perception of a product/service solely because of spam advertising?

    Jump

  • You make a good point I didn’t think about! All that money into advertising that could have gone into the product or better avenues like paying your workers a better wage. And that feeds back into the last part of your comment, that if workers were paid and treated better, I think a lot more workers would take more pride in their work and encourage more customers through word of mouth.

    I remember my ex and one other person recently telling me about going to Walmart and having employees explicitly tell customers they would never shop at the store they work for.

    That’s crazy! All that money they waste on ads could’ve gone to the employees who would be less likely to trash the company and make them look horrible to shop at.

    Versus a place like Costco where I can’t remember ever seeing an ad but treats their employees well enough that employees do encourage people to shop at their stores.

  • Should i get a moped (scooter in usa)

    Jump

  • I’d say depends on where you are and what you plan to use it for.

    In my state, at least, I considered it, but I wouldn’t be able to use it to the fullest because you can’t legally ride them on some highways because it can’t keep up with the speed and I often needed to use those highways. Without using those, I would either get stuck somewhere, need to take a longer route, or illegally use the highway which could be dangerous.

    So I opted to just get a motorcycle instead of a scooter for my situation.

    But if it’s just around a city or town, a scooter would do the job just fine.

  • What is a “qwar”?

    Jump

  • I saw the post you’re talking about too and was curious about this as well.

    All because the guy happened to be speaking Russian 🤷‍♂️

  • When was the last time you were blamed for something you didn't do?

    Jump

  • Get yourself a dashcam yesterday! You can go as cheap as $30 USD on Amazon nowadays for a basic one. Just the sight of one is enough for people like this to sometimes back off, assuming they know they were in the wrong.

  • Just now lol

    This lady at work is just insufferable to work with sometimes and she accused me of installing software to “her” server because I’ve said that I’m creating a replacement server so it can be on a newer version of Windows.

    As I’ve told you many times before, I’m not touching “your” precious server. I am simply mirroring what is on there to a newer server and then we can begin testing with this completely separate server and make changes there. The only things I’ve done there is log on and take screenshots and save said screenshots to my local computer.

    “Your” server having space issues has literally not a damn thing to do with anything I’m doing, as I have said repeatedly before.

    Thankfully she accepted my response with an “ok”. An apology would have been nice for accusing me of doing this, but that’s too much to ask of her so I’ll settle for acceptance.

    I think she acts the way she does because she’s the only one who does this job and thinks she’s invincible. Which she is, to a degree.

    She does this to everyone and even publicly, so that helps to at least I know I’m not the problem here because I often am blaming myself when others accuse me and giving them the benefit of the doubt.

  • Why is this just about “minorities” and what is a “minority”? Who is going to define this definition? Why is this not also for hate of any kind such as calls for violence to “non-minorities”?

    Jump

  • Who decides what is hateful and worthy of removal? How is it not censorship? This is such a dumb article lol

    You don’t have to be a free speech advocate. It’s fine if you want censorship, just quit changing definitions to make yourself sound less authoritarian.

  • Yeah…what we have today as “AI” makes a ton of mistakes. Well, maybe not a ton, but enough that it cannot be relied on without a human to correct it.

    I use it as a foundation at work.

    ChatGPT, write me a script that does this, this, and that.

    I often, like 98% of the time, won’t get what I asked for or will get something that it interpreted incorrectly. It’s common sense to me but maybe not to others to not run whatever it spits out blindly. Review what it outputted, then test it somewhere. I often create a similar file structure somewhere else and test there and then after a few tests and reviewing and making modifications, then I feel comfortable running whatever it spit out to me.

    But I don’t think I’ll ever not double check whatever any type of AI spits out as a response to me for whatever I’ve asked. Humans should always have the last word before action, especially when it comes to healthcare.

  • If you really value free speech, you’d let people speak things that you disagree with. Otherwise, no, you aren’t advocating for free speech.

    I’m all for free speech! But only if you say things that don’t upset me :(

  • Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo shooting. What is your opinion on the freedom of satire in general and the satire of religion in particular?

    Jump

  • Oh okay I missed one example lol you got me.

    What about Judaism? You left that question unanswered. If we’re really that worried about racism, I would think we’d be more cautious when it comes to mocking anything Jewish-related, wouldn’t we? But that’s not the case at all as their religion is mocked and satirized freely.
