  • Give him extra time to make up for how long the early ban was? Or maybe give him an extra 24h as a courtesy? I dunno, lol

  • Is AI ruining our skills? Early results are in — and they’re not good

  • Yes, I think we're in agreement here. This is exactly what I'm saying

  • When software developers are using AI to assist them, that's different than someone vibe coding something. It didn't sound like that commenter was promoting vibe coding.

  • Hah. Leetcode becomes more popular among the employed. Software developers have AI agents run some big tasks while they get some Leetcode time in. Lol

  • I took a course for fun that ended up being a requirement for the program I ended up doing my Bachelor's in. It wasn't a requirement at my original choice of school, but it was in the one I ended up going to.

    Do you have any movies that you rewatch at a specific time of year?

  • I put on childhood Christmas movies while wrapping Christmas presents, lol

  • That'd be cool, but the question was about insects in general

  • Where's "here"?

    Lemmy doesn't have centralized moderation or administration. You'd have to bring it up with the admins (or mods, if applicable) of the server that it's hosted on.

    Otherwise, your only recourse is to inquire with the admins of your server (lemmy.world) to see if they're interested in defederating from that instance due to the kinds of communities they have.

  • What's the best food you're had in another country that's not from that country?

  • Isn't making things themselves what restaurants are supposed to be doing? Not always, but a good restaurant would, at least.

  • It's interesting. When speaking locally (at least in Canada and I'd wager the US as well), "not being interested in politics" is probably equally likely to mean:

    • I have unpopular political opinions
    • I don't want to find out if you have unpopular political opinions

    But yeah, when speaking with those from other countries, I can definitely see it meaning "I support what my country is doing that's in opposition to your country.

    I hadn't realised how that differing context makes it so much more obviously one way.

    why are some people perpetually stuck in the 2000s?

    People buy them for science.

    People buy them to make honey.

  • Don’t repeat 5G mistakes with 6G, plead mobile operators

    Jump

  • I wonder if the people has believed the 5g conspiracy fantasies feel remotely foolish

    They don't. In fact, they don't believe they were wrong. They've cherry-picked their array of half-truths and benign or unprovable conspiracy theories and have never reevaluated since. Or they've morphed their beliefs into cheap versions of the nonsense they once took as true.

    Even with the covid vaccine conspiracy theories. They were saying that everyone who took the vaccine would die.

    To maintain their "rightness", when questioned, they will point to the statistics of the non-zero number of people who did die from taking the vaccine.

    When pointed out that the actual number is much closer to 0 than the 100% that they had been saying in 2021 or so, they will argue that there's a coverup or something. Or that they didn't literally mean 100% of people.

    Obviously they meant whatever would make them right. Some people can hardly fathom the fact that they believed something to be incorrect.

  • I know that I was being snarky and not "just asking a question", because "I don't care about consequences the ecosystem" is a silly stance to take.

    It's likely they were making a joke, so yeah, my aggression was probably too heavy in retrospect.

  • People born in the 1900s, what was life like back then?

    Jump

  • Hah, still enjoyed your comment quite thoroughly

  • "You can't out train a bad diet" and "you can't out earn bad spending habits" what are some other true clichés along the same lines as these?

    Jump

  • Wait, I think you've mixed up what my point was about.

    Someone said that a bad diet "actually" means something else. One commenter said they were able to outrun a bad diet and someone else said "no that's impossible because that's not what a bad diet means".

    They said everyone knows what "bad diet" means because obviously it's impossible to outrun a bad diet. But that's not true, because I didn't know what they meant.

    Someone can use nothing but "running" to burn off enough calories to counteract their "bad diet", particularly if weight is their general goal. Will that make them the peak of physical fitness? No. But conversations about running and diet are often focused around weight gain/loss.

    So yes, I know what people generally mean by "bad diet", but it's a very broad, general term. That one commenter acted like it has a fixed and specific definition that everybody knows.

  • Lol! The point of asking questions is to learn, not to give answers.

    And I did learn from at least one or two other interesting answers!
