“Durian fruit because they have replicators that can make anything.”

The last time I checked the piefed layout options weren’t my thing, but I’ll give it another shot.

Personal labels/tags or whatever they are called for both users and communities would be awesome to have in the standard lemmy front end. I think some apps or other formats might have them, but I do like the default lemmy interface and they would be extremely handy to have saved by an account for personal reminders.

Some examples would be the ability to set personal reminders for uncommon rules on specific communities or who has good takes on some random topic. There are just so many of both and it can be hard to keep similarly named things straight.

Yes, requiring people to be civil when discussing topics that negatively impact them directly stifles the ability to convey how much they are suffering. Being forced to be polite to oppressors is absolutely awful.

So one thing that is an inherent issue with the distributed structure is inconsistent rules. There are instance rules and community rules and similar communities on different instances don’t have the same server or community rules, and a feed like All or even Subscribed is listing a bunch of things with different rules for interaction and adding a requirement to know all the rules for each individual post is unrealistic. Sure, most comments are fine if someone isn’t a complete jackass, but that mostly means the rules are not relevant the majority of the time.

Did you read and understand both the instance and community rules before commenting here? I did not, and have no regrets.

Doing the Lord’s work!

Why would anyone ask where they got the info if it is accurate?

“It looks like this feature was added 5 years ago.”

If asking for confirmation, just ask for confirmation.

I assumed it was bwing used the current common usage for using a web search, like how kleenex is used for any facial tittle, not literally Google the search engine.

Speaking of literal, Google is putting Gemini results before search results, not using chatGPT.

People before facebook thought critically of what they saw on the news as much as they do facebook today.

Sure, people didn’t think about things too much at any point in time and sources weren’t always perfectly reliable, but some sources are worse than others,

I don’t use ChatGPT

Then why are you defending it? Is it necessary for every complaint about AI to have a wall of text clarifying that when we are complaining about extremely common issues with AI that is being forced on everyone that we are using shorthand for those specific issues for those AI implementations based on the context of what is currently being discussed?

In this case I am specifically complaining about ChatGPT and similar implementations. Kind of like when I complain about IPA beers I’m not complaining about every single beer that has ever been made.

Yes, the summary is right but also extremely verbose and redundant. Like the first or very last sentence covered everything. Like how many times does it need to repeat the same thing over and over again?

Go ask chatGPT

Then why post it at all?

Search engines and Wikipedia don’t judge you for asking stupid questions either.

Do you click on the links?

If they are links from the search, isn’t that just the same thing as doing a regular search and verifying the results?

What does this extra layer add other than an unreliable middleman who is extremely inefficient?

Let’s just keep adding more and more layers like a game of telephone!

Not the same thing.

google allows for the possibility that the user was able to think critically about sources that a search returned

chapGPT is drunk uncle confidently stating a thing they heard third hand from Janet in accounting and then taking him at his word

google: I checked the listing of news sites to find information about a world event directly from professionals who double check their sources

chatGPT: I asked my hairstylist their uninformed opinion on a world event based on overheard conversations

I mean a moron could find the wrong information from google and your hairstylist could get lucky and be right, but odds are one source provides the opportunity for reliable results and the other is random and has a massive shit ton of downsides.

I asked ChatGPT

Why do people bring this up every fucking time?

I want the ability to merge the display of communities that I choose, so any number of News, World News, HotNakedNews, etc. communities could be displayed as a group of communities based on a topic type as an alternative to the instance/community/subscribed groups. Maybe personal tags for communities would be useful.
