Oh, happy day!
Chuck Hubbard appears to have ousted Virginia Foxx in NC-05 as provisionals, cured ballots counted
@shoq I never could understand how she and Fred Sanford got married in the first place. I guess opposites attract.
hearing that jensen huang has tripled the amount of partners he has in just under two weeks.
if these trends continue, i think we need to have a serious conversation about the possibility of jensen huang dating every women on earth.
even in moderate scenarios he may send up with 82% of all leather jackets
@tef imagine... jensen huang cheating on his wife with trillions upon trillions of simulated digital women

Last Podcast on the Left finally got around to doing a series on the infamous quack "goat gland doctor" John Brinkley.
If you are curious why you might be interested in Brinkley, here is a screenshot of a long-ago post I made trying to explain it

Normally people block ml quite quickly after arriving. Within a month or two. Maybe you’re not yet aware that you can personally blacklist entire instances, not just communities and users.

Banned from lemmy.ml for suggesting spam was Russia
Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.
I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.
Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.
“The 4DX presentation of ‘Wicker’ did not disappoint. While many of the effects were typical of 4DX, it didn’t take long for ‘Wicker’ to demonstrate that it would be a more inventive, more adult exploitation of the format. The first sign of the picture’s flair for 4DX innovation came when Colman peed into her chamber pot and then tossed the contents out the door — and into the audience’s face, as we were all doused with water representing Colman’s urine.“

Having a real “I recognize all those words individually” moment at the CVS counter.
In retrospect, it should have been obvious that a man named Root Mean Squared would be in favor of statistically-generated code

think about it: if you're a huge software company, who do you want leading your opposition? somebody charismatic and effective, or somebody who eats things off his foot? it's easy to dismiss the fsf as a bunch of radical, out-of-touch hippies when they keep reinstating an ineffectual out-of-touch hippie as their figurehead
@jwildeboer I think the word for this is enshittification
@philenotfound It's one word. There are many more. And there are also ways to step out of the downward spirals that surround us :)
