I’m fully onboard with all the critique listed here, but I’m afraid I do still use R on a daily basis. Why? Because of sheer (and original / non-bot) traffic, I guess.

This tends to mean that highly-useful, knowledgeable, expert-level commentary is still produced there in significant quantities, even if it does mean sifting hard through the dreck to find it. And that stuff can be hugely useful to me.

That said, I feel like Lemmy has a significantly higher signal-to-noise ratio, so it doesn’t have to be remotely as big as R in order to achieve the same level of usefulness, and indeed, L is certainly useful right here and right now.

But I guess the other thing is that most of the smaller and niche communities here could really use a membership boost. Maybe with the next reddit screw-up, that will happen, hehe.

Great stuff, with a sort of dark, ‘Saturday Evening Post’ style. Also a nice throwback style to strips that went back to the 60’s and even 50’s.

Explain?

FWIW, I freaked out once over something relatively minor across the Lemmy-modality, and the dev (one of the two, can’t remember which) was just a calm, gem of a person upon my temporary paranoia.

Man, I was… blown away.
(thought I was going to be banned to hell, yadda-yadda)

Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work.

For example, I’ve had fairly good success upon a range of animal companions going back to early childhood, but a few years ago, I made the mistake of taking on a ‘problem cat’ from a family friend.

Such a beautiful creature, but she just couldn’t… settle down, I guess are the words. Now me, living with a terminal disease is already hard, but unfortunately, that rascal just turned it up to ‘11,’ bless her lil heart. So in the end, I had to donate her to a local no-kill shelter. Not my finest moment, but the lack of sleep was pretty-much the lynchpin, for me.

I love cats, but I just… haha, kinda got spooked hard by that experience.

Now imagine your life without the luxury of a pampered, beloved floof by your side?

Jokes aside, this is both great tribute and super-disrespectful.

Was that the intended aim?

Niiice, but I need to take care of my niece, tomorrow!

allows for excellent roleplay opportunities.

Sure, if you’re there to stir-some-shit.

In which case-- proceed uponst thine own risk?

I’ve had dozens if not hundreds of accounts silenced by attrition.

I’m sorry, but… why would anyone possibly need more than one acct or two to post within the rules framework of Reddit, or really, any other site?

“Spam,” or deliberate, repeated rule-breaking intent are the two answers that immediately come to mind.

Unrelated question, Mssr Jeena–

Will there also be a way to play “Chuck Game” with bots?

Wow… nice!
Indeed, that reminds me of what I’ve learned of Indian cooking, a little bit. For example, I understand that sauteing seeds like cumin and coriander (getting back to cilantro, hah) in “ghee” (clarified butter) is a great / classic way to get the essential flavors of the seeds / ingredients in to the oil component, which can later be transferred towards something else that’s freshly cooked, like dal (lentils) or pollo.

SMBC vibes

And unless I’m quite mistaken, any specific correction one might possibly contribute to the LLM project in question (i.e. software hallucination), is generally-speaking, roundly & enthusiastically embraced and even celebrated by the LLM, then immediately and completely ignored.

I.e., they’re not programmed to listen to our feedback in a meaningful, educational way, only to keep munching on the databases their doggie-daddies have sicced them upon.

EDIT: that cynicism / critique aside, ChatGPT in particular has been hugely useful in my language-learning, and there’s no question to me that it’s improved a lot, just across the last few months. FWIW

I love that move, holding off on cooking the culantro until the last bit of time, or even having it fresh, a bit like parsley. It’s just too easy to lose the flavor when cooked too early!

That said, I try to use every bit of the bunch, so will often mini-slice the stems and put them in near the end.

Haha, I love the Shaw Bros to death, but TBC-- the whole thing is indeed a ripoff of Bruce Lee films of the time, no?

Damn, this is just too…
well, too absurdly clever for my pitiful arse!

So yeah, could we maybe see a real-world example to help idiots like myself understand what’s really going on here…?

I’ve done a roundup from the ‘Euro sense,’ with ~five more scheduled to be added.

Sound good?

Thanks for sharing!

Now I wonder what I could substitute for heavy cream…
