from a topological perspective, it’s pretty uncontroversial to say that the earth is indeed a hotdog.

yeah but everybody else would be sleeping so it would still take longer

this would be in violation of the 8th amendment

or something used in “fertility rituals”

take it back

my secret for dealing with winter mornings is a healthy collection of warm fuzzy socks. (although warm slippers work well for this too.) i always keep a pair right next to my bed so they’re waiting for me the second i get out of bed. i then put on some warm pants and maybe a robe too. it means i don’t have to choose between being in bed and being warm and cozy. i’m always warm and cozy at home.

No crawlers ever go there.

if it makes you feel any better, i would go there if i was a web crawler.

i think that’s fair point. language does work both ways, and i am certainly not in the majority with this opinion. but what bothers me is that it feels like they’re changing the definition of the word and piggybacking off of its old meaning. i know this kind of thing isn’t all that uncommon, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

quick save is also pretty fucked in their games. highly recommend getting a mod that replaces the quicksave keybind with something that creates a manual save with an autogenerated name. (that is not how bethesda implements quicksave, for some reason.)

i think we give silicon valley too much linguistic power. there should really be more pushback on them rebranding LLMs as AI. it’s just a bunch of marketing nonsense that we’re letting them get away with.

(i know that LLMs are studied in the field of computer science that’s known as artificial intelligence, but i really don’t think that subtlety is properly communicated to the general public.)

completely agreeing, 10 times

i’ve been really liking “confronting capitalism with vivek chibber”. it’s always a treat to hear him speak

do not underestimate bethesdas ability to defy canon

i keep constantly forgetting that website even exists. i’m surprised it’s lasted as long as it has

you drive a hard bargain

i agree with what you’re saying and i think we’re mostly on the same page here. i just felt it would be worth saying that, from my perspective, the point of the fediverse isn’t to compete with those websites but instead to be an alternative to them. it’s to offer a picture of what social media can be like without dark patterns, extreme surveillance, and constant enshittification. and there is a really comfort in that. it feels really nice to not have to worry about a website or app getting worse every time i use it.

i also feel like the people on here tend to behave more thoughtfully (in general) than people on reddit and other for profit social media websites. and it wouldn’t surprise me if that was in part due to the absence of dark patterns making lemmy feel more relaxed and less high stakes. there’s also a bit of a small town feeling on this website that i kind of like too.

can i be the dog

imagine my surprise at learning this comment came from lemmy.ml
