Agreed.

They should have never backed down on the Clinton comment calling them deplorable. They are.

I'm all for coming into the office, but I'm no longer commuting on my own dime. You want me in the office, for some messed up reason, my commute is on the clock.

I've been wondering about this, in particular in a covid, wfh, world. So many people from traditionally liberal areas (SF/NY/LA) moved to red states, I would assume that it would be assist in turning those states more purple, as some of those states (wyoming/montana/Idaho) won't take that many transplants to start that transition.

Right, but if they are training all new AI on shit they find online, like this comment, wouldn't that pollute that dataset, considering I generated this comment with AI?

This has been discussed elsewhere, and by people smarter than I, but chat bots are going to start learning from other chat bots and it's going to be less and less reliable over time, no?

Like there is an internet BEFORE ChatGPT, which is about as reliable of data as one could hope to find, and then there is a post day one chatgpt, which the data is already getting polluted by random LLM gibberish. How is google's webscraping going to know if the data it is getting is legitimate human being thoughts, or just random madeup shit from a LLM?

I'd love to deploy my own instance of either kbin or lemmy, but a ten buck a month price tag is a bit steep (imho). I'll wait until there are better guides for hosting my own.

YSK: If you want faster and less buggy User experience, move to a smaller instance that is hosted close to you.

I have been using Lemmy for 20 days, at first I opened an account at Lemmy.world because you can join without writing a text and waiting approval. I have been enjoying the experience overall but despite the admin teans best efforts Lemmy.world has been experiencing some serious performance issues. If you want to avoid that join...

Can I migrate my account to a new instance? Or will i have user logins all over the fediverse?

Quick question: I have an account on Lemmy.world and kbin.social.. When trying to post on Lemmy.world it just spins and posts.. so I bopped over to my kbin account and one thing I noticed is that Kbin says it has 39 comments, but Lemmy.world this same post has 139... how do I square this circle?

I'm also no military strategist, but it seems like a good time for Ukraine to start pushing their counter offensive into overdrive, no?

I mean, as a parent, I sort of agree that pushing sexual material to subs that weren't in the past, sort of a dick move.. but at the same time, removing/firing people who were moderating the sub for free, is just stupid... What's going to stop people from still posting porn/nsfw material to these subs now that their normal gatekeepers are gone?

Can I block/unsub certain magainzes from other fedis? For example I am getting a lot of .de content, and I can't read the language, and would rather not see it.

Looking for recommendations for a cheap/reliable grocery peddler

I'm a relatively new mtber and I live about 1.5 miles from my closest grocery store. I'm looking for a cheap option to take my ass up to the store to grab some groceries as I don't want to take my mtb because i don't want to get it stolen and it's just not an efficient ride....

How am I notified if someone replies to my post? I think i've seen a few replies, but it doesn't appear to notify me.

Who am I supposed to use as a work reference?

I've applied for jobs a few times and this has always been a problem. Now that I've been out of college for a while it's even more of a problem. I don't have anyone from college that would even remember me. I can't use my current coworkers because I don't want my current employer to know I'm leaving until I have a new job lined...

Not to mention worthless. Most references can't say shit.

Anyone got a link to a quick primer on how lemmy/kbin are related? I thought they were different sites?, but it seems they are not?
