I’m telling you it’s medically meaningless. Decongestants are decongestants. They aren’t ‘cold’ medicines or ‘allergy’ medicines. They act on inflammation in the nose and reduce congestion. How it’s advertised doesn’t make a bit of difference to what the medicine does.

It’s the same thing, you’re getting caught up on a meaningless distinction.

Sure, but your idea here is fundamentally flawed. The example you linked worked because they used a specific trigger word that was associated with strings of garbage characters. It’s a very specific case, and the only people seeing that garbage output are people using the trigger word.

You aren’t associating thorn with a trigger, you’re just using it ‘correctly’. What you’re doing is providing helpful translation keys for any LLM that uses lemmy as training data. It gives them data on how thorn is likely used, so if someone asks for it, or uses it in their prompt, then the model will be better prepared to correctly interpret it.

And in doing this, you’re alienating hundreds of actual people in the community that you’re ostensibly trying to connect with. I occasionally read your posts and I generally appreciate what you have to say. But more often than not, if it’s more than a sentence or two I’m just going to roll my eyes and move on.

Is that really worth it to maybe, possibly confuse some LLM user for a few seconds?

This is what made you hate Reddit? Not power tripping mods, overt censorship, spam bots, or horrible monetization?

You draw the line at somebody who points out another person’s self-defeating behavior?

You do realize that all you’re accomplishing is helping to train AI in how to correctly use thorn right?

Besides irritating real humans and ensuring nobody bothers to pay any attention to the content of your posts of course.

I’d have to know what a ‘normal’ person is to recognize one, and it’s a concept that just fundamentally doesn’t make sense to me. What does a ‘normal’ fingerprint look like?

Really? I don’t think I ever have.

It’s not meat.

It’s cars and planes. We know this because we observed a drastic drop in air pollution in both 2008 (following the financial crash) and March 2020 that can be attributed to basically the entire planet no longer commuting and traveling.

It’s both, and a handful of other industries. The tiny blip of dropped emissions during covid did absolutely fucking nothing to help air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. It’s just feel-good bullshit the media spread around. Travel is a significant portion of ghg emissions, very comparable in impact to meat production.

There is no way that story is true right? How would that be any way better than a normal wide glass with a low center of gravity? Those would be rolling back and forth all over a rocking boat.

Just like all the thousands of people eating tide pods? Or maybe it’s just rage bait…

Don’t give him credit for TFA. That film set the entire trilogy up for failure with its opening crawl. There was no future for the sequels as soon as he decided to make a shitty ANH remake.

It’s both, people don’t draw inspiration from just one thing. It’s also Hidden Fortress, but that doesn’t make the WW2 elements any less relevant. Star Wars is about the fight against fascism and imperialism in many forms.

How is Star Wars even remotely grimdark? That’s just a wild criticism.

And the game you’re talking about literally has no Jedi or Sith at all, it’s entirely about the regular people of the galaxy.

I mean, Germany is doing alright these days from what I understand.

Yeah, that’s exactly what they’re talking about, did you not read the rest of that post?

4chan runs ads like any other site. I mean it’s mostly stuff that wouldn’t be allowed on most sites, sex toys and whatnot, but this seems right up that alley. I doubt they’re talking about organic posts.

Yeah I absolutely do not care about that. I also won’t bother to get a 4k TV until I get some banger clearance deal or something because it does not fucking matter. I grew up on tube tvs dude, anything that isn’t fuzzy is golden. Most of what I’m playing is either indie or ancient, and seeing giant pixels in perfect clarity does nothing to improve the experience.

That’s fair, it is streaming only at the moment. I had honestly forgotten, I don’t play much that really needs perfect latency, so I’ve just been enjoying streaming on mine for months now.

You want access to games or services that are either better or only available on Windows without having to deal with the desktop Windows interface. That is literally the reason to buy it. Game Pass and popular live services can woo plenty of people over.

What would that be exactly? Gamepass already works great on linux, it’s a better experience on my steam deck than fighting with my windows laptop.

It seems like the main audience is people who are scared of Linux and just don’t want to learn something new.

Nah, I’ll just keep gaming on a cheap Linux PC and fuck ever buying a console again. Honestly at this point a 5 year old GPU gives you access to 99% of all games ever made, why spend so much to play 4 shitty ‘AAAA’ games a year?
