Congrats, how many years are you sober?

Its harm potential is somewhere in between. To put it in perspective, alcohol is worse than heroin. And like alcohol addicts, your friends should be able to get a clean and safe source to reduce damage, and the help they need without any fear of persecution.

You can't criminalize problems away. It evidently didn't help your friends.

Distilling has been around since forever. It's a legitimate technique that can give you a better model depending on your needs.

OpenAI does it too to improve its models.

Why should that be an issue? As if Black people can't be HP Lovecraft fans.

It's rare, but this franchise owner understands very well that a lot of people hate Barbie. It's even in the trailer "If you love Barbie, this movie is for you. If you hate Barbie, this movie is for you."

People who use ad blockers aren't the type of people to click the ads. We're doing a Google a service by improving conversion statistics.

On Reddit I've found most of the news about the big social networks is posted by only handful accounts, they also don't post other interesting things, so you can just block them.

I'm hoping that'll work on Lemmy as well.

The new Lemmy 19 allows users to block instances so that's not unreasonable for the largest instances. Gotta show new users that users have control.

We'll be driving monster trucks in 2033

(They were not serious)

Zuckerberg is just a man, not a technology

I'm not confused. You can block people on Lemmy.

On Reddit I’ve found most of the billionaire news in tech subs is posted by only handful accounts, they also don’t post other interesting things, so you can just block them.

I’m hoping that’ll work on Lemmy as well.

In this case we're talking literal stolen pets though.

Defederation? What happened?

It's also a problem with algorithms. Big communities drown out smaller ones because the sorting only looks at absolute numbers. Change is underway though.

It changes only when you disable regional search.

I mean it's not a groundbreaking feminist and anti-capitalist critique, but you do understand that the opening is intentionally tacky and childish, right? You should have stayed to see what the next 1,5 hours of the movie had to say about that tackiness.

A plane only has one plane worth of spare parts though.

Liking cats and dogs are not mutually exclusive what's everyone on about?

Why would a nonprofit org do that?

On Lemmy you only see local communities by default. On Mastodon you see posts from instances that the admin linked. Idunno about kbin etc

I don't think it legitimizes that. Fans can be blissfully unaware of an artist's politics. Or better: loving their art in spite of their politics can be empowering. It removes the hate from the art and turns it into a positive force. This has been done over and over again with Lovecraft's work. That took effort. Not so much with Sinead's songs, cause her "racist" fit was so impotent to begin with.

You can block communities and users on Lemmy. You can't block instances, but that wouldn't make sense since you don't see their content unless you go there or subscribe to a community. Maybe blanket blocking users from an instance would be useful.

Yeah lol who said anything about "good racism"? Lemmy really is like the old Reddit, can't say I missed "reverse racism" concern trolls.

She was angry for getting a lot of Islamophobia. It's racism yeah but only in a very literal sense that doesn't hurt white people. It's not that hard to understand.
