It’s already popular with a good userbase. Popular with idiots? Hopefully not.

Autistic people are often their harshest critics.

Not everyone believes the same thing about complex events. Lemmy’s userbase is probably dominated by western white men in tech, judging by the general sentiment on certain issues. Information that is posted ought to be true but we’re not obliged to take sides and automatically accept the western narrative on the Ukraine conflict.

I like my girlfriend because she’s autistic. I don’t want some dummy with blond hair and orange skin.

Fill to the brim with turds

These cars like to party

Something we can thank the Russians for and hackers everywhere.

That’s what I’m thinking. Take the best of Reddit and leave the toxic stuff. The source is open, after all.

Describe the work you are doing and the equipment you use. Talk about the fact that you have received training to use this equipment. You don’t need to say anything else. If your next employer wants you to be certified on their particular machines they will train you.

I have 99 problems

Not for profit would be its singular difference. The devs have attempted to recreate original Reddit and largely succeeded.

The aspects of it that could do with improvement are addiction potential. We shouldn’t have endless scrolling and perhaps have timers to limit exposure.

It’s still male dominated but generally non toxic for your average white guy in tech.

This is cultural appropriation

Okay so you don’t trust the robot to give relationship advice, even if that advice is identical to what humans say. The trouble is we never really know where ideas come from. They percolate up into consciousness, unbidden. Did I speak to a robot earlier? Are you speaking to a robot right now? Who knows. All I know is that when someone I love and respect asks me to explain myself I feel that I should do that no matter what.

Are you saying it would be preferable if she was given the same advice from a human or read it in a book? This guy cannot defend his point of view because it’s probably not particularly defensible, the robot is immaterial.

Like her need for him to answer reasonable questions? Why does the origin of the question pose a threat and why doesn’t he give examples? He’s like the rando poster who says ‘hey guys I forgot the passcode to my iPhone, got a workaround for that?’ okay buddy, so you stole a phone then.

He’s probably gaslighting her and she doesn’t have anyone else to turn to for a reality check.

His question amounts to ‘how can I continue to shape her reality with my narrative?’

It doesn’t matter what chatgpt or anyone else says, he ought to be able to answer reasonable questions. Note that he doesn’t provide any specific examples. He would get roasted in the comment section.

This man is probably an asshole and this woman is probably smarter than him.

It does depend what we’re talking about. The geology of Himalaya or computer technology? One of these things didn’t change much in the last forty years.

By the time it came to writing my thesis at age 37 I had already dedicated twenty years learning the vagueries of MS Word and ten debugging compilation errors of MATLAB. There was no way I was going to take on another language at that point.

This was short sighted because all it meant is that I didn’t have any control over compilation errors because Word does it for you, badly.

How to be plagued by wedgies, judging by that seat angle.
