That’s how I feel. It’s a shit car. Is Danny going to be able to do better? Alpha Tauri hasn’t exactly been topping the rankings, and seems to have gotten worse of late. It feels like they’re being a bit too cutthroat on with this decision.

I don’t think it’s wrong to recreate a beloved community, and I think it makes sense to also populate it with content. I just think that posting a copy of Reddit is a problem, and automated posts too often are also not good. At that point you’re trying to force the community into existence rather than having it be organic. I think it’s okay to boost the community a bit, but not to try to make Lemmy the new Reddit.

I will say that Lemmy in general seems very Reddit-like, which is what causes people to try to make Lemmy the new Reddit, so I’m not surprised that people are just trying to migrate subreddits to communities here. I think Lemmy needs a bit more of an identity to avoid that.

From the article I had read in Perplexity, it was all built around OpenAI, so I’d assume the regular search is GPT-3 or GPT-3.5, and copilot is GPT-4.

Perplexity uses ChatGPT, but I trust it a bit more because it cites its sources. So I’d say it counts since the model is GPT-3 and GPT-4.

Yeah. Lots of communities seemed to have NSFW vs NSFL to distinguish porn from gore, respectively. I agree with that distinction.

That assumption is predicated on law enforcement being willing to publish statistics on their actions. You can’t have this work without that. Considering how often SWAT teams are unnecessarily used and the military tactics they employ, the results will be unflattering to police departments.

Of course they don’t want their time wasted, but they won’t trade transparency and accountability for it.

I’ve also been curious about it. Enjoying Lemmy and Kbin, but wouldn’t mind the ability to interact on Tildes, if somebody has an invite.

Forgive me, but I’m going to give you a “non-answer”. The reason is that depression is very personal, and you should probably only get advice on your specific situation by a licensed therapist. Even a licensed therapist isn’t good enough for some people, and they’ll need to find the right therapist, and even then they may require medication.

With that out of the way, I’ll tell you that you probably need to forgive yourself a bit more than you currently do. If you’re high strung, rigid, and tend to be harsh with yourself for failure (which only makes depression worse, especially when you end up feeling down while beating yourself up over it), then the only way to break that cycle is to be genuinely forgiving with yourself. What some people have said is pretend it’s not you in the situation, but a friend. What advice would you give that person?

A very smart man I know once told me that we tend to judge others based on their actions and outcomes, and ourselves based on our intentions. That means that if we didn’t mean to hurt somebody then we can be a bit more dismissive than if somebody hurt us but didn’t mean it. That said, it can also cut the other way. If you intended to succeed at something but didn’t, you can beat yourself up over it. Nobody around you would be any the wiser about your shortcomings or failures, but you might be likely to draw attention to it and judge yourself harshly based on your (lack of) results.

I probably wrote this mostly for myself and my situation, but hopefully it helps you a bit. There’s no plan for life. We just all do the best we can with the hand we’re dealt in the situation we happen to be in at the time. Hell, most of people’s success comes down to luck, not hard work. To make things worse, neither success nor money will make you more happy with yourself. They may help, but they won’t do it on their own.

That’s a known bug in Jerboa. It’s already been reported and the dev acknowledged it.

The best way is to use relative links, such as !technology@beehaw.org

What I did there was simply [!technology@beehaw.org](/c/technology@beehaw.org). This link doesn’t start with the protocol and site, but instead assumes the current site, and starts with /c/my_comunity@my_site.tld, meaning it will be routed to the same instance.

This will probably not work for those on Kbin, since their communities (magazines) don’t start with /c/, but rather with /m/. If anyone knows a good way for this to work for both, I’d be glad to adopt that myself going forward.

That’s because they don’t exist. It’s only a concept rendering. This site spotlights design ideas and their creators, not actual products.

That sounds like an annoying bug. Hopefully since it’s well understood what exactly flipped in the database and how to fix the problem once it happens, the code fix won’t take long.

Did they select a language? Mine did the same thing on various instances. I tried a few things at the same time, so I don’t know what finally let me register, but I learned a few things in the process.

For example, the most likely explanation is that the username is already taken. The back end fails silently when that happens, and there’s already a bug open in GitHub. I figured I’d try a shorter password and selecting a language, and that worked.

Hopefully that helps your friends.

I call bullshit. Are you forgetting that Perez is still #2 in the WDC? And can we agree that none of Max’s teammates have been able to drive the car, likely because the fact that it rotates around the nose is harder to drive for most people?

Do I like where Checo has finished lately? No. Does he deserve the seat? Absolutely. Hell, he was within one point if Verstappen earlier this year. You MIGHT be blowing this out of proportion. The car is great, but Max is the one that can squeeze the most of out it, whether by design or circumstance. That doesn’t make Perez any worse of a driver.

Look at Ricciardo coming from McLaren and jumping into the Red Bull sim. The team said his form was unrecognizable. Lando would probably be TERRIBLE in the Red Bull until he got used to it. Even then, it would likely still suit Max better, meaning Lando would look foolish driving it. They built that car around Max, and it has paid off, but it has also cost a few drivers their reputations, and in some cases their careers.

I, personally, don’t feel that adding friction is the answer. I also opted not to apply to join Beehaw because I think having arbitrary criteria to join is problematic. I like the idea that the mods care so much, but it’s simply unsustainable. That and I don’t believe that creating a bubble of like-minded people is healthy. Having terms of service and a code of conduct is one thing. Having an interview process is unappealing to me, and leads me to wonder how that community has gotten as big as it has. The answer is likely “slow growth”.;

Take that for what you will. I would love to join Beehaw, but refuse to jump through hoops. Frankly, you need me more than I need you. Either you play a part in Lemmy’s growth, or you add so much friction that people choose to walk away. Lemmy’s hard enough already with all the bugs and the half-baked features. Adding more friction will defer newcomers further. Is it a win to deter a potential Lemmy user from adopting the platform?

It’s not that Lemmy is defederating, it’s that Beehaw is choosing to block sh.itjust.works and Lemmy.world, which means those two are no longer able to federate to Beehaw, and vice-versa. So to that end, they’re defederating. Beehaw will keep federating content to other instances (like how I read this from FMHY, and am commenting from FMHY, which you can read).

Hopefully that helps

I like the concept, and so far I like the implementation, but it’s still far too early to gain mass adoption based on what I’m seeing from bugs (account creation silently failed on multiple instances, and login can also silently fail) as well as how registering can feel like jumping through hoops. I wanted to register for beehaw but don’t much care to go through an interview process. Then I wanted to make sure I could access beehaw content, but saw they recently defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, so I had to make sure not to register on either of those.

I don’t know this will catch on. Currently each instance is so small, and the communities are even smaller. I worry that content won’t update often enough to warrant checking more than once or twice a day. We’ll have to wait and see how much this all grows and matures. I’d like this to be my Reddit replacement, but we’ll see.
