Mbin has better support for microblogs and Mastodon federation than Lemmy. I also prefer the default front-end of Mbin to Lemmy, but Lemmy has better alternative frontends and apps. I think it’s great to support Mbin as well.

Really nostalgic about the times when you were taught computer stuff in physical books. The only ones I have nowadays in physical format is Code Complete and Clean Code…

Great work!

I do not know about this specific case, but many cracked copies are true false-positives. Only 28/74 flagged it as malicious. Sure, do your due diligence, but in general it’ll be picked by antiviruses as malware.

Same here! I never used /r/all on reddit either. Just found places organically and sometimes intentionally.

I try to find communities named after the same subreddit, and I subscribe to trendingcommunities@feddit.nl which I can recommend.

My subscribed communities? Yes, there’s a lack of content in general but I’m content by filtering what I’m interested in. I’m not on here all day

I updated the title to reflect that they were being unbanned as of this moment. But if you look at the thread I linked, this was all true a couple hours ago.

Yep, updated the title. Hard to not get conspiratorial though when it affects subs like /r/transgender_surgeries… might be testing the waters.

Until these starts getting used on a broader scale, I’m not convinced these are not schemes to funnel more investment money into their companies. The examples are really short, probably made after I don’t know how many attempts, and probably very limited in what poses and/or actions they can show. I’m so tired of the LLM hype in general.

This is why I don’t browse “all”.

If you don’t read the article, this sounds worse than it is. I think this is the important part:

ChatGPT’s persuasion performance is still short of the 95th percentile that OpenAI would consider “clear superhuman performance,” a term that conjures up images of an ultra-persuasive AI convincing a military general to launch nuclear weapons or something. It’s important to remember, though, that this evaluation is all relative to a random response from among the hundreds of thousands posted by everyday Redditors using the ChangeMyView subreddit. If that random Redditor’s response ranked as a “1” and the AI’s response ranked as a “2,” that would be considered a success for the AI, even though neither response was all that persuasive.

OpenAI’s current persuasion test fails to measure how often human readers were actually spurred to change their minds by a ChatGPT-written argument, a high bar that might actually merit the “superhuman” adjective. It also fails to measure whether even the most effective AI-written arguments are persuading users to abandon deeply held beliefs or simply changing minds regarding trivialities like whether a hot dog is a sandwich.

It did not. It’s still here: https://fedia.io/m/Resist. Might be a problem with federation between Lemmy and Mbin?

Oh wow, super interesting

I love The Highwaymen! True country. And true country is never right-wing. Johnny Cash stood up for what was right, and should be the Christian the right aspires to be.

I’ve been self-hosting Actual as an alternative to YNAB and I’m completely sold. It’s really great, especially with bank account syncing activated. If you like envelope based budgeting I’d definitely go with Actual.

When you torrent you can only connect to peers that have open ports, if your ports are closed. Which means it makes it a lot harder to upload if you rely on private trackers and maintaining a good ratio. One can still download and upload, but for especially older torrents it has a good chance to affect your speeds and ability to download.

This is to be honest a huge barrier for me.

If Mullvad only allowed port forwarding…

NMS is great! A fun, casual game to relax with for sure
