It gets protection from large things while getting all the free tiny bugs it can eat, it’s a great deal.

yeah, rats.

we’ve generally solved the rat problem, but that was the initial pitch, then their cute faces hypnotized us.

…I know.

What i’m saying is that Chatgpt is good at captcha shit, likely because it was fed the data from all the captcha we’ve done.

And I know captcha is different from recaptcha, if you want to be pedantic, which you appear to…

you’re at least a decade late for that concern. why do you think chatgpt is so good at solving recaptcha?

Over-moderation will kill Lemmy instances. One of the reasons Reddit became as big as it did is due to very light-touch moderation verging on “absolute freedom of speech”. It was refreshing and ‘alternative’ compared to the increasing sanitisation of the Internet.

That’s the sub not the website, over moderation is a feature of some subs, just like lemmy instances. Just like reddit, if you don’t like it create your own, unlike reddit you can set an overall tone to your instance.

Because as obvious as it is that the police are not on our side, some people still believe that the police are there to help…

It’s sad to see that everyday users have gotten habituated to these constant workflow braking updates.

I’ve never understood this problem, people talk like it has a mind of it’s own and i just don’t get it.

I’m running windows 11 pro and have never had updates interrupt my shit.

Updates show up in my system tray, then it updates overnight when i sleep.

for what it’s worth, it’s a small active community. Those that stay participate, like a pre-Eternal September internet. I’ve seen memes here before they made it to reddit, that’s a shift in “power” that can’t be understated in the landscape of the internets.

I’m sorry…

like fungi recycle dead things into an absurd amount of nutrients, without them trees especially would barely break down and just stick around until very very eventually they turn into coal.

this is just such a cool thing to think about, there was a time when there were just dead trees everywhere in forests, like just laying there being logs or whatever, just piles and piles of dead trees and that’s where coal comes from.

The people mining and dying and polluting the planet just digging out piles of dead trees.

Just like what? I get it, but what?

I guess i’m getting that from when you first said,

but in a truly free market capitalist system

I just assumed you were defending a “truly free market” capitalism.

to address what you just posted,

is it appropriate to blame capitalism when a public corporation in collusion with the government is at fault for an issue? If not, why?

yes, capitalism creates the conditions for that collusion. It allows entities with the only goal of profit at any cost.

removing the government doesn’t reduce that corruption it just allows it to go unchecked without even an illusion of protection to the public.

Okay, let’s do it explain how in a “pure” capitalist society a public body, without the ability to at least nominally use a legal system to guard against collusion and monopoly using the threat of breaking up or shutting down corporations, provide any protection?

Giving them the power to do that makes them just a government by another name.

I feel as though you’re also assuming I’m 100% advocating for what I’m describing

i think you’re missing it. Government for as glacial and corrupt and corruptible as it is, is the only buffer from the excess of a free market.

businesses without a guardrail HAVE proven they will sacrifice everything, literally everything in the name of profit.

Oil companies have know for about a century that they are destroying the planet and they are *still * doing it. They fight every regulation that stops them tooth and nail. They buy and shelve technologies that would cut into their profit. Imagine a world where there was no one trying to stop them at all?

That is the proper diagnosis of our system. We have allowed unaccountable immoral groups to control the means of production and they are literally using it to with kill us all.

I’m not trying to defend windows, it has a myriad of issues, but I’ve never understood the meme of it updating at inconvenient times. I run windows 11 pro, I set it to only update when i tell it to and it does… Like it’s never been a problem, wasn’t a problem in windows 10 or 7 pro either.

I don’t get it, am i windows whisperer and not know it?

It shows it’s work, you can follow it’s citations to ensure it’s not complete bullshit.

Also no seriously these are dumb questions, I was watching Fraiser the other day and it implied his ratings were in the millions, and I asked bing if that was even possible considering he was on AM radio in the 90s (it’s not), but even if it was completely wrong it literally doesn’t matter…

Bing chat has saved edge and bing search for me, it just works. I ask it a random question, like how many spiders you’d have to eat to have eaten a pound of them and it just tells me and shows the work. I don’t need to look up how much a spider weights and then do math myself, it just does it.

Firefox is still my main browser, but I’ll open edge to ask dumb questions and I have a lot of stupid questions and it has answers without me needing to dig through bullshit to find what I need.

If you don’t care about them matching, thrift stores can have some really good deals.

Yeah, it’s racist to hire another more qualified candidate that can speak multiple languages in a setting that would benefit from that skill…
