Maybe if they keep using digital computers. What they need is an analogue system. It’s much more efficient for this kind of work.

He’s always been a ruthless capitalist scumbag.

You’re really good at writing compelling fiction.

All browsing was a thing on Reddit too. So I think it’d be fair to say it’s a style of usage some people just prefer or reach for (whether that applies to you)

Sure, for other people, but not me. I never casually browsed r/all. I visited it a couple times, and it was always nonsense I didn’t care about. The average Lemmy user is more similar to me than the average Reddit user, so all is usable. Although the average Lemmy user is still a fair bit less similar to me than the average Reddit user of the communities I was subscribed to, so if subscriptions were viable I’d use them on Lemmy too.

Unless one uses “New” or “scaled” sorting, surely it’s the big communities that dominate the All feed such that subscribing could easily achieve the same?

i guess so, but I often scroll long enough to run into the bot-posted reddit reposts with no upvotes, so I’m definitely interested in seeing all the content on Lemmy. Of a more relevant nature is that I don’t see posts to remote communities unless a fellow lemmy.ca user is subscribed to them. I ought to subscribe to more remote communities.

Wouldn’t there be a trade off with interest or relevance being less in the All feed?

Sure is, I have no desire to click on about half the posts I see, although that number trends upwards quick when I start scraping the bottom of the barrel. But again, I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel, so it’s not like I’m missing any interesting posts.

Lemmy just doesn’t have enough activity that I can use the subscribed feed and be satisfied.

I’m not defending Elon. I think he’s a hetero neurotypical privileged asshole. It’s you people who want to make up a narrative that he’s a vulnerable minority.

Non-clinical narcissism is asexuality, and Elon isn’t asexual.

Elon Musk doesn’t have NPD. And accusing people of being disabled is not an epic burn. It’s only an insult if you think disabled people are worth less than neurotypicals. Sensible people don’t hate the disabled, so calling him a n*rcissist isn’t an insult.

Calling him neurotypical is a bigger insult. Because it implies that all of his weirdness is a choice.

I know they use Mastodon to do it. Truth Social runs on the Mastodon software.

Generating multiple pictures of the same character is actually pretty hard. For example, let’s say you’re making a visual novel with a bunch of anime girls. You spin up your generative AI, and it gives you a great picture of a girl with a good design in a neutral pose. We’ll call her Alice. Well, now you need a happy Alice, a sad Alice, a horny Alice, an Alice with her face covered with cum, a nude Alice, and a hyper breast expansion Alice. Getting the AI to recreate Alice, who does not exist in the training data, is going to be very difficult even once.

And all of this is multiplied ten times over if you want granular changes to a character. Let’s say you’re making a fat fetish game and Alice is supposed to gain weight as the player feeds her. Now you need everything I described, at 10 different weights. You’re going to need to be extremely specific with the AI and it’s probably going to produce dozens of incorrect pictures for every time it gets it right. Getting it right might just plain be impossible if the AI doesn’t understand the assignment well enough.

Millions of users is a bit of a misleading term. You mean millions of Nazis. I don’t care to talk to Nazis.

Shitter is just one website. If I post to mastodon, people on hundreds of websites can see my content. Why on earth would I post to shitter if I wanted visibility???

If you don’t care about US politics then don’t use an American Nazi’s website

You’re giving him too much credit. Influencing elections is an incidental benefit to the real purpose. Which is that now Elon gets to ban anyone who disagrees with him on Twitter.

So what’s it called when the government is a handful of private individuals, as opposed to representing the public?

I didn’t read it. The Register has a drier tone than I felt like reading today. I mean seriously, putting the word tabletop in quotes? I am NOT the target audience for that writing style.

Actually they say that Comet Dibiasky is twice the size of the dinosaur killer, but they also say it’s 6-1 9 kilometres wide. 10 kilometres is the size of Chicxulub. Scientifically it was very inaccurate. But politically it’s flawless.

Don’t look up

I’m a psychopath and I don’t use Twitter. I have PTSD. Also you shouldn’t call mentally ill people psychopaths, it’s considered offensive. You should say mentally ill person in the same language you’re speaking, in this case English. And maybe stop saying mentally ill people are rich. We’re not rich.
