Certain ones, sure. The cucumber lime one is pretty distinctive, for example.

I think companies have gotten more aggressive with theirs algorithms shoveling people towards content that gets companies the most money.

I try hard to block out right-wing crap (U.S.) on YouTube. I’m talking blocking channels liberally and going into my history to delete a watch if I find a video is spreading misinformation. I still get so much of it recommended. And anecdotally, it’s gotten worse this year. Not sure if there’s hard data available out there to prove it but I agree with you, OP, it sure feels like it.

Spotify is obvious. They dumped a ton of money into Rogan so push his podcast shamelessly to ensure maximum return on their investment, despite Rogan being a piece of shit.

Ditto, lightning hit our house when I was a kid. We had a TV antenna with a lightning rod so it was more scary than anything else.

Despite UPS w battery backup for main computers and surge protectors on most dumb things around the house, I still unplug things before a storm out of paranoia.

The first rule of illegal prescription drug mule club is you do not talk about illegal prescription drug mule club.

If someone has managed to find themselves on Lemmy but pretend they don’t know about Wikipedia and YouTube, yes, they deserve to be treated as a troll. Notice OP’s new account and lack of response in the comments?

I educate myself.

Please don’t lump me in with yourself in your laziness and apathy. It’s complex, yes, but not “too complex”.

Under the bills, some kinds of local telecom projects would be approved automatically if a city or town doesn’t rule within a deadline set by Congress.

The tl;dr

Local to where I was living at the time.

Smaller, not one of the big ones that’s always getting name dropped in drama

I like to think there was a specific person in Nebraska the author had in mind. The University there had a tap into the ARPANET back in the day and always had interesting projects going in that one wouldn’t typically expect in Nebraska.

Roku has a Jellyfin app.

Roku device locked down with parental controls + Jellyfin app connected to your server + a non-admin Jellyfin user account so they can’t click all the buttons.

The Roku aoo isn’t great for my use because it’s stripped down. Maybe a benefit in your case.

Would you ever play Russian Roulette? 80% effective means one bullet in a five-chamber revolver, spin, and pull the trigger.

Medical advice is also to not rely only on condoms.

You do you.

Anecdote versus data.

You are one person with an anecdote, the medical advice is based on data from thousands of people.

The pull-out method is about 80% effective. About one in five people who rely on the pull-out method for birth control become pregnant.

Isn’t RMLS just one company of many related to AI cyber security? Or does the acronym soup of the tech industry have some other meaning for it.

And CoT, as in the “prompt engineering” technique? How does that at all counter their position?

Please converse instead of vomiting letters and negging.

I use it once in a blue moon and every time think it wasn’t really worth my time.

For creative pursuits, it defeats the purpose of why I’m doing the activity.

For factual pursuits at work, I need to 100% back my answer. Like put my signature to it, testify on a witness stand confident. When I make assumptions in my logic, I need to be able to identify and clearly articulate them. And LLMs are only as good as “highly probable” by their nature.

Questions that are more appropriate as websearches. No need to ask here to learn the capital city of Lithuania or the law on jaywalking in OP’s home town.

I usually tag the users most blatantly guilty of that as “LMGTFY” and move on.

(LMGTFY = let me google that for you, a phrase but also a link generator one could send someone that opens to a recording of their question being typed into google search and then providing them with results)

The article on Tadeusz Kościuszko, Polish military genius and aid to Washington and the colonialists during the American Revolutionary War. He was in with Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson too. Among many other things, he designed the fortifications around West Point.

He also led the “Kościuszko Uprising” against the Russian occupation of Poland.

My favorite anecdote from the article is that he was all about human rights. He willed a portion of his estate to freeing enslaved black people, including Thomas Jefferson’s slaves specifically. Everyone charged with executing his will balked at that one though, the money ended up going to education for black people instead. Still, what a way to get a final mic drop against a colleague from beyond the grave.

They talked at me a lot. Back and forth conversation was not really a thing between parents and kids when I was growing up.

We don’t converse much today either but its more because I find their religious and political views repulsive.

I side-eye vocal fans of UFC like I do owners of pit bulls. I see a strong correlation between UFC fans and assholes with warped machismo. Many are delightful, but there’s an overrepresentation of not-delightful and potentially dangerous with no regard for other people. My guard is up until I know which a person is.
