    Jump

  • They aren't nonsense articles. Those bots create articles about any known species. They usually only include the name, taxonomy, who described it first, and sometimes a description.

  • TIL in 2006 a Putin loyalist wrote a "fictional" novel accurately predicting Russia's future assault on Ukraine. In the novel, this escalates to WWIII followed by the surrender of the U.S. and Europe

  • I remember when he announced that videos could be uploaded from the website next week...he said that in February. In August, he said it would be possible soon. There was an instance (loops.gay) that allowed you to do that, but it disappeared.

  • Why is Lemmy so US-centric? The largest instances are in Europe, aren't they? So why does it have to be US news trolling as if it were Reddit?

    Jump

  • I see German content here all the time, even though I don't understand it or follow it.

  • Is there a service to check for reposts?

    Jump

  • Reddit had a tool for that because search engines weren't useful.

  • Google's WebP

  • life choices

    Jump

  • Linux, AI, LGBT and Trump/Musk. Everyone, every day. People need to know about those subjects, but it's awful to restrict the diversity of the world to the same recycled messages. It's like hearing Lois Griffin saying 9/11 time and time again 😅.

  • That's how they translate images. It have been a thing for years.
