But in the US, colloquially every 4 year school is a college. People say “I’m going to college.” People don’t say “I’m going to university.”

Bourbon.

That’s the Cheesecake Factory.

With helium or no?

That Nautilus Terminal says it no longer works on the GitHub page. https://github.com/flozz/nautilus-terminal

Which sucks because that sounds great.

Can’t live without the terminal? Embed it directly in the file manager.

How?

No, I’m not saying Lemmy users checking in represent any material change to Reddit numbers. I’m saying Place gets Reddit a short term boost to demonstrate the site still has pull. And that is what Reddit cares about far more than good content - eyeballs to sell ads to, and comments to sell to LLM companies.

“Leave Reddit to come check out Lemmy! We have… basically nothing but posts about putting that message up on Reddit.”

Place gives Reddit exactly what it needs most - user engagement. By going, you’re feeding Reddit stats they can show prospective investors and advertisers on unique users, time on site, and clicks even after the protests.

Reddit was very crafty in relaunching Place right now. They can show a material post-API uptick exactly as Spez promised.

Small ones with 100% uptime and a handful of users who don’t interact with each other.

I read too quickly. Sorry. Why are you looking for an instance, though? You get the data either way, right?

There are a ton of them. Just a few examples for soccer:

!football@lemmy.ml !football@lemmy.world !manunuted@lemmy.ml !gunners@lemmy.world !reddevils@lemmy.world

For American football:

!nfl@lemmy.world !nfl@lemmy.ml !cfb@lemmy.world !cfb@fanaticus.social

There are specific communities for like every team’s fandom and every sport.

Duck Duck Go search results are a little lacking, though, like it’s completely missing some possibilities. Looking up tech stuff for a Linux issue I’m having, Duck will miss a site that Google finds - and even if I enter the exact text of the site, it’s completely absent from Duck.

Hello, James. Welcome. Do you like the island? My grandmother had an island. Nothing to boast of. You could walk around it in an hour, but still it was, it was a paradise for us. One summer, we went for a visit and discovered the place had been infested with rats! They’d come on a fishing boat and gorged themselves on coconut. So how do you get rats off an island? Hmm? My grandmother showed me. We buried an oil drum and hinged the lid. Then we wired coconut to the lid as bait and the rats would come for the coconut, and… They would fall into the drum. And after a month, you have trapped all the rats, but what do you do then? Throw the drum into the ocean? Burn it? No. You just leave it and they begin to get hungry. And one by one… They start eating each other, until there are only two left. The two survivors. And then what? Do you kill them? No. You take them and release them into the trees, but now they don’t eat coconut anymore. Now, they only eat rat. You have changed their nature.

I reread the whole thing and I’m still not sure how heroin plays into any of it.

But how are Microsoft and other LLM companies marketing on AI Panic?

I honestly don’t understand what this graph means. I don’t get what the four sectors mean, how the author decided to distribute companies among the four sectors, or why the four sectors are divided into two equivalent circles.

Same on the campaign to block those. I originally allowed NSFW generally thinking I might miss some cool but off color posts, but the bar for NSFW is definitely high here. And copying Reddit content without the comments and interactions - especially Redditors’ personal stories like AITA or relationship advice - seems worthless and demeaning.

At this point, I’m very happy with it. It reminds me of my first days on Reddit 16 years ago, when it was all links to PDFs and tech talk that was so smart it was over my head.

Until a few days ago, that was like more than 50% of All > Hot. Logging into an instance where I do not have any blocked communities yet, it looks like that’s died down. The main list now looks like a normal website.

I didn’t say it was a problem to get signed up. I’m saying I’m not inviting some dudes from pickup ball to check out a string of Linux and furry memes.
