I’m the administrator of kbin.life, a general purpose/tech orientated kbin instance.
Yeah, it’s obvious they want to replace the front page (of the front page of the internet?) with the same personalized algorithmic doom scrolling generated crap that every other social media pushes on you.
So glad I killed off my content and don’t use it any more.
Oh yeah, I saw that black mirror episode. Good thing it’s only fiction.
Please feel free to keep him.
You either die a hero… Something something.
Not sure what you mean. I just saw asterisks.
Hmm. Gonna put a few euros on my auction servers. I would complain but the price has been static for 2.5 years.
Yeah, but the problem is… You need to leave home to be a serial killer. Well, no wait. I mean to be a good one. I think if you kept inviting people to your house and killing them, it would be a bit of an easy trail to follow. So, being a successful serial killer is too much work.
I’ll do it tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow.
So let me get this straight. From the US admin we hear.
-NATO countries cannot rely on USA to help them if they need us. -NATO countries should be ensuring they can defend themselves.
But also -You’d also still better buy all your shit from us!
They’re like the stereotypical bully… “Stop hitting yourself”
You know I cannot be the only one that will consciously decide to not buy brands that make intrusive adverts. But, they must also know that. So I can only assume that the majority of people don’t think the same and it’s an overall upside for these annoying ads.
And it would have gotten away with it, if it weren’t for that darn pesky judge!
I think my least favourite thing about AI is when customers tell me something won’t take as long as I say, if I use AI. Look, if AI can do it why do you need me?
The fact I’m not out of a job (yet) is because apparently AI cannot do everything I can. The very second it can I’ll be long gone.
So I am on the side of the lawyers here. For the first and only time.
Maybe even Microsoft don’t want us to use windows any more?
I’m based in the UK. But my instance only actually has single digits of actual active users. So, it’s not bothering me too much.
The moment I get a letter from OFCOM, or I see they’re enforcing against smaller federated sites, I’ll just remove non login readable capability and make it entirely invite only (which won’t be a problem, the only people joining for ages were bots and when I added the AI blocking/cloudflare protection they’ve stopped coming too). Until then I am assuming they’re going after the actual social media companies.
Hmm, for me I actually do have a lot of time to help people. But what happens is, if you make a suggestion you will so often be shot down by someone that thinks their opinion is fact. It’s the arguing for my point that I don’t have time for.
The effect is the same as bystander effect, because yes. I look at the question, know I could answer it, don’t want to get into the argument that someone else thinks their way is better, so I just assume someone else will take it on.
The real truth is that people don’t want to be that first person that answers, because THEIR answer will be torn apart.
Is that the wine, or the name of the cabin crew serving it?
Business class, nice! Can I have prosecco instead of champagne? Thanks.
People are still having sex, and nothing seems to stop them!
