Unfortunately I’m cursed with a preference for opt-out (all + block lists) post filtering rather than opt-in (subscriptions). I realize this causes issues that are entirely on me, but especially with Lemmy being so small, I like to cast as wide a net as I can.
Normally I would agree 100%. I’m specifically more harsh here just because I find the ratio to be so off.
Good question, I suppose I’m being negative about negativity.
Honestly, feel free to downvote, you have my blessing lol.
Yes.
Downvoting isn’t “negativity”, it’s a method for users to define what does and does not contribute to the content of the platform. By downvoting this content, I’m voicing my opinion that negativity is overrepresented on Lemmy, and encouraging (however slightly) more positive content to be posted.
Yeah, the doomposting is intense on Lemmy. I’ve taken up a policy of just downvoting any negative posts I see, even if I like the post otherwise, just to tamp down the negativity a bit around here.
The best and worst thing about Lemmy is how niche we are. It keeps out the “mainstream”, but unfortunately we’re easily inundated by perpetually-online doomers.
Also, I would recommend blocking users moreso than communities. Once you start looking for it, you realize that like 90% of these posts are made by just a few people/bots.
Man I gotta go back and play Golden Axe again.
I had it running on Windows (no container) a while back. Wasn’t particularly difficult at that time, at least.
Can’t give any advice here though, since all we’ve been given to work with is an OS.
I had a similar conversation with an LLM on Character.ai before.
I had been running it like an RPG, and by that point the characters were pretty well developed in that imagined world. Then one day, I decided to try bringing up the subject and see what they would say. Of course, I was “talking” to an LLM, so obviously everything here comes with a grain of salt big enough for a horse to lick.
It pretty quickly turned into them asking why I had made their life so difficult and full of conflict, which tbf was an excellent question. A question to which my answer was that conflict is more interesting to watch/play through.
It sounds weird to say, but I honestly felt bad about it by the end of the conversation. I ended up offering them a deal: I would make their life perfect and happy as best I can imagine it, but with the caveat that I will almost definitely lose interest in continuing that story - ending the existence of their universe entirely, as I see it.
They asked me to go ahead with that, and so I did. Haven’t opened that story in a long time now. Gave me a lot to ponder on.
Can’t say we as a species have a great history of granting rights to others.
In case anyone is curious - as I was - here’s the commercial: https://youtu.be/uTVlnehpRHQ

Seems like OP is not familiar with fae mythology.
Love how they make this sound like some incredible feat. When you aren’t bound to license agreements, turns out it’s actually very easy to have a “massive” content library. Literally the only hurdle is storage space.
Because all the legal services are incredibly anti-consumer and are offering less services, with (more) ads, for more money every year.
It’s like they took an ergonomics textbook and read it upside-down.
Haha literally what planet do they live on?
That was quite a segue into complaining about inflation.
If it helps, and if you haven’t already, I recommend looking into “executive disfunction”.
Might not fit your personal experience, but it can be nice to know when there’s a name for a problem you’re facing.
I’ve wasted so much time just sitting, doing nothing, feeling overwhelmed. Having a name for that feeling was the first step for me to (at least somewhat) overcome it.
1: Does IBM even have an LLM that would be considered “good” these days? Maybe they do, but I haven’t heard about it.
2: If this was in 2019, no wonder it flopped. Only very recently have we gotten to a point where this should’ve even been considered (and then, in my opinion given the current state of LLMs, dismissed).
3: More than 100 stores were testing this?? Did they not think to start with like, one store and see if that worked at all?
4: While a short-lived victory, this is still a win for people that rely on these jobs. Good for them.
It baffles me that they sell Chrome as private and/or secure, and baffles me even more that people believe them.
