The only “creepy” thing about it is that viewing who upvoted/downvoted what isn’t a feature that’s just built into Lemmy (and Lemmy-UI). I can’t imagine why the authors of Lemmy would want to have a class system with some (instance admins) being able to see vote information and others (everyone else) being unable.

You say “we all know our votes here are public record”, but that’s not really true. Even Lemvotes doesn’t work for at least half of the posts I’ve tried it on. It’d be more accurate to say “we all know our votes here aren’t secret”.

I’ve got a horny stick and I’m not afraid to use it.

Just ban LLMs already.

the shittiest post

You can tell because it’s got exactly the same number of upvotes as downvotes.

I think he’s confusing bond markets with Bond… James Bond, the guy who keeps defeating villains like Trump in all those movies.

For real. The title notwithstanding, it seems like it was directed to do what it did. Not rogue at all.

I don’t doubt that most/all of the text in the comments on GitHub was generated based on prompts. But there’s no way nobody told whatever LLM submitted the pull requests and such to do exactly what it did.

Reddit. That explains a lot.

And if it doesn’t, they’ll just implement it anyway even if Missourians vote against it. (Wouldn’t be the first time they’ve done that with one bill or another.)

Oh yeah. This is my new jam.

1. Sell tomatoes.
2. Use money to buy pasta sauce.
3. …
4. Profit!

Ok, what’s the deal with so many posts having exactly the same title: three satellite dish emojis?

Right? The OP describes me (except I like to think I’m not that sweaty) and I don’t remember ever having reinstalled because things were broken.

Lasers don’t exert force, though. Just heat.

(Ok, technically that’s not true. Light does exert force, but it produces so much more heat than force that even lasers many many orders of magnitude weaker would simply vaporize just about anything they hit.)

20 years experience in the field, 15 in Java. (USD) $135,000/year.

I’ve done a ton of Go in personal side-projects, and I’m specifically looking for a job in Go.

I mean, I’ve been running exclusively rolling release Linux distros (Gentoo and Arch) as my daily driver for the last 20 years and I don’t think I’ve ever had the thought that reinstalling from scratch would be simpler than just… fixing the issue. I’ve never backed up my OS files either. Only data files; the sort of files that aren’t put there by the install process or package manager. I’ve never used BTRFS or anything with snapshotting abilities either.

I have booted into a live system, chrooted, and fixed something. (Because my kernel or bootloader or something was borked.) But it’s been quite a long time since I’ve had to do that, and I’ve never reinstalled from scratch because I couldn’t fix something.

(The only times I’ve used non-rolling releases were pretty limited cases. A server here running Debian here, a Raspberry Pi running Raspian (though even Raspberry Pi’s, I’ve mostly used Arch Linux ARM) there. Also my work machine, though I’ve even installed rolling release distros on my work machine on a forgiveness-rather-than-permission basis at times. Lol.)

What specifically happened? Can you share the news item?

I’d try replacing letters with homoglyphs. Doubt it would work, but not so much that I didn’t think it was worth a try.

I mean, first I’d check to make sure I hadn’t added any leading/trailing spaces. There does appear to be a lot of space before the K. Might technically be why it isn’t working.

Not that the site doesn’t still have serious dumb issues even if that is the issue. But yeah.

Fair. Definitely don’t blame you. I only participate because it’s fun to poke the bear and have fun at Madthumbs’ expense sometimes. Like the Buttcoin community (or rather “communities” - there are at least 4 on Lemmy) does with cryptobros. And Artificial Ignorance does with generative AI.

Ah! Ok. That makes sense and seems plausible. The Linuxsucks Sucks community is a little over a month old and hasn’t had all that many folks participate.
