Yes, but with “fixing” the structure, you have robbed it of colloquialism. Maybe it’s just me projecting.

I lived among non-native speakers for the longest time, and shaped my English using my knowledge of other languages to bridge some gaps in communication. Now I’m back to a native environment and catch myself slipping up with my invented phrases.

The thing is, I can’t find another combination of words to convey the exact sentiment so succintly, even though I’m not sure it’s gramatically correct.

Man, English is so wacky. After reading that post twice the structure fell apart in my mind, and I’m a native speaker. Hats off to anyone who picked up the language along the way.

I rented that multiple times when it came out!

Are malicious audio files a thing? Is it pervasive on soulseek? Would it be OS agnostic? I was under the impression, that the only way to get malware is disregarding security popups when installing shady stuff from cnet.

I don’t know how to code, but have been my own admin for quite some time. Having malware in containers besides .exe files gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Dang, thanks. I read the post, thought it wasn’t happening to me, and I just realized that the start of some videos is being throttled. The more ya know 🌈

Did you miss out on Katamari Damacy or just forgot to list it?

Exactomundo!

The only reason that last paragraph ain’t outright ai garbage (besides my elegant use of ‘everyperson’, mind you) is that there is a semi-original though buried at the end of it. This paragraph is odacious, so point taken.

Thank goodness. I was worried there for a second.

Or maybe even take a step back. Dead internet theory is real and we’re living it, but just because the main subreddits and FB are ai schlock doesn’t mean Lemmy is the only ‘real’ place.

I feel the hardest part is keeping my senses about me when I argue with hivemind mentality. You will probably get a feeling from my writing, that I too embraced the hive speak and mind. And this is where the bots get the everyperson. Bots speak in hivemind and meme format. I think this whole kerfuffle will do wonders for real online discussion, as low-effort discussions will be dismissed as white noise.

It’s still fun to hear the man himself talking about a larger than life virtual reality.

The tech still scares me, I’m not even sure I’d be okay with EEG-like patches that work both ways (scifi, I know), not to mention brain surgery, for pure decadence. But the quality of life benefits really can be huge for many, and that really got my fantasy going, once I ‘accepted’ we figured out the limits and safeties of bodily autonomy.

I would welcome the comissar biweekly for a good ball-scrubbing.

both corporations and consumers have shown

I don’t think this a preference question. More like something intrinsic to a society based on market.

I’m kinda partial to Rage Against Vanessa Carlton.

They call it ‘The Valley of the Hung Hobo’.

Hey baby… You lookin fine tonight!

Like when you set up 10 pins for someone else to knock down with a ball and it’s pretty symmetric?

It’s kinda funny as how it’s first like: Windows, Apple and Linux are your choices for home. If you choose the right one, you realize it was not a destination, merely a gateway to a plethora of systems, many fine-tuned for the nichest of needs.

My new hobby is complaining about my trials on Linux to those winfriends who I think will switch in the foreseeable future. My rational is that sharing my happiness comes off as gloating and as soon as they show an inkling of willingness, I’ll just point to what I said and tell them that’s the type of shit you deal with and can maybe find listening ears for the benefits at that point.

Because I am in a safe space: FOSS is the closest thing I find to actual love that I can get from a non-living interaction. Contrasted in the harsh light of freemium every keystroke for the commons is sacred.

Is this some kinda Brave browser integration? Newpipe hasn’t served me up any ads yet, so you got me wondering what your version does.

Where were you for the last decade? I’d think tiktok is starting to wind down by now, but me and my shaking stick wouldn’t know that.

There’s no guarantee anyone on there (or here) is a real person or genuine.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t a baked-in feature of meatspace either. I’m a fan of solipsism and Last Thursdayism personally. Also propaganda posters.

The CMV sub reeked of bot/troll/farmer activity, much like the amitheasshole threads. I guess it can be tough to recognize if you weren’t there to see the transition from authentic posting to justice/rage bait.

We’re still in the uncanny valley, but it seems that we’re climbing out of it. I’m already being ‘tricked’ left and right by near perfect voice ai and tinkered with image gen. What happens when robots pass the imitation game?
