And be weary of folks doing the same to you, especially here on Lemmy with all the ‘genocide Joe’ shit or encouraging apathy because of the shit debate.

I’m already quite weary of that!

(“Weary” means tired; you probably meant “wary” which means cautious)

I remember hearing that big box stores killed malls. I thought they killed malls, and Amazon killed big box stores, but Amazon can also kill malls, so it was a bit of a double-whammy for malls

You’re right. At the same time, there are now alternatives that generally don’t require being in places that are trying to get you to spend money just to interact with other people.

I used to use this maybe a decade ago. I’m glad to see it’s still around!

I’ve unfortunately switched to Google Calendar when my workplace started using it informally, and it’s just been the easiest to stick with.

What’s the TL:DW of that? I’m just reading for now lol

Thank you for explaining that far better than I could!

Probably won’t help, but I find that headsets sound much worse when they’re connected as a headset. My (completely different headphones/headset) sounds a lot better in headphone mode.

I don’t believe his claims without evidence, but having a legit cover for nefarious acts is pretty standard, no?

See, I didn’t get it at first because this is how I picture most of Arizona to look anyway. The visitor’s center could’ve just been a historical camp/checkpoint along some gold or oil rush route or something! Lol

Yeah, especially if someone isn’t just cross-posting to multiple communities.

Natural reposts by different users in different communities are healthy and expected, especially on defederated social media (if you can call Lemmy that). It’s nobody’s personal feed.

I think the phrasing isn’t the best. I think he needs an “is what” before “hurts children” in the first paragraph.

buy a new one.

Buy a new SSD and swap out the old one?

…buy a new SSD, right??

Not exploitation? Addiction? Hatred?

could we do something about this?

Downvote posts that don’t generate good discussion.

Report posts that are flagrant rule breakers. (I report posts here that aren’t actually questions, or bad faith statements that are only barely questions)

But more importantly…

UPVOTE the good posts!

And even more importantly…

POST the kind of content you want to see! Be the change you want to see. If you’re just a commenter, you can’t complain that there’s no posts! Haha

I know it’s not “intelligent”, but I don’t get gatekeeping the phrase “AI”.

We were perfectly happy to use “AI” to refer to the logic of computer-controlled enemies in video games for probably decades.

Is this a question?

Woah, meta.

Yes, it is.

This is not a question, though.

Unfortunately.

Yet I still add “Reddit” to a search query when looking for product reviews or technical/home maintenance support, lol

I can do it really well manually…but Google’s AI sucks at it.

They forgot to account for trolls…and how often trolls would get upvoted for the lulz

Don’t restrict yourself with a fixed mindset.

Growth mindset. You could be better. Always.

But you should know who you could grow to be.
