  • How does this scam work?

  • fwiw sometimes the people playing the "bait" are themselves victims of human trafficking. If they don't bring in enough money, they are forced into prostitution. source.

  • Petting a kitty will give you a natural high.

  • [have ignored] ... notably, this needs to be retroactive for the loop to start, so the syntax in the OP is wrong

    oooh, that makes sense, if you change the wording like that...

  • I feel people here have the Disney idea of a genie rather than the true Middle Eastern idea of a djin.

    oooh that makes sense... I had a friend in cybersecurity who was always using the term "evil genie" to characterize how attackers would take any system you developed, and look for a way to use it against you.

  • I don't get it...

    • "Do the opposite of my next wish", you have two wishes left, ok will do
    • "Don't fulfil my third wish," you have one wish left, ok I will do the opposite and WILL fulfil your third wish.
    • "Ignore my first wish" you have no wishes left, ok I don't remember anything about your first wish.

    It basically boils down to "do nothing", right?

  • Can we finally admit that Lemmy is just Reddit trying to tell you its not Reddit?

    Jump
    • no advertising
    • not run by a corporation
    • freedom to find an instance aligned with your values

    That's a big deal to those of us who like lemmy/piefed. If you don't care about those things, then yeah you might as well stay on Reddit.

  • What's one highly extolled piece of media that you absolutely cannot stand in any way shape or form.

  • Good points. iirc, the US Office almost got cancelled the first season. The type of humor in the first episode didn't really work for US audiences. Only after the series found its own style did the series really thrive.

    Personally I think Office UK is awesome. The whole Training session is freakin hilarious.

  • Alternately, you were "the kind of person who didn't watch Friends", which still made it a cultural touchstone.

  • So you say it brought forth deep emotions. It moved you.

  • There was a fantasy series that was kind of the same. It never got better than "mildly amusing" for me.

  • Not entirely sure what's going on here

  • How did people treat you after losing weight?

    Jump

  • Nothing can be easier or improved as long as other people had to have it worse.

    That's a great summary, very pithy.

    I blame the church.

    Yes, tho I think there's also a bit of the commerce zero-sum thinking to blame too. Like: "if my competitor gets a free advantage, that puts me at a relative disadvantage."

  • I started taking karate in 11th grade

    Karate's also really good for your posture, which might have changed perceptions of you. BTW most shotokan schools are very welcoming of older people.

  • What Does a Privacy-First AI Translation Stack Look Like?

    Jump

  • All AI was local until recently. (late 2010s maybe?) It's important not to let the cloud providers gaslight us.

    these kinds of workflows are practical for everyday users

    Kind of. A good system will still have a lot of design to it. If you just take an off-the-shelf LLM and do the minimal tuning for it to do the job, then you'll get just another crappy system.
