Yeah, stuff like crossposting is one thing. People do it across communities and subreddits, so may as well post stuff on both sites so you can get inputs from both userbases.

But the automatic copying stuff is too much. I blocked the lemmit bot almost as soon as it showed up because it became almost impossible to not see content that was being copied over by it.

My guess is the more casual nature of the communication going on. It's less formal than putting in the effort of creating a published work like an article or video. Here you can just put the words in a box and hit go, your content is on the internet. Articles and videos require more time and effort to put together, so it would make sense to me for those to appear more formal, even if the content isn't the most serious.

Please. I live on one of the busier streets in my town, right by an intersection. The amount of people driving by with cars that sound like someone's farting through a megaphone are insanely obnoxious. Fuck, most the time they're shit boxes that go slower than normal cars. People in my area buy cheap, shitty cars, pay to have a falsified safety, then make them loud and obnoxious while slowing down traffic because their cars can barely accelerate.

I always thought the hypocrisy between alcohol and cannabis packaging is ridiculous. If cigarettes and cannabis need to be heavily restricted in terms of having simple, plain packaging with health warnings, anything for sale that can cause health issues should be subject to the same restrictions.

I'd like to recommend this video by a retired Microsoft OS engineer about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Bard work. It has lots of technical mumbo jumbo, but Dave tries to explain it in simpler terms.

Yes this. It's great that a national news source is embracing the fediverse. This is their instance for those who haven't seen it.

It's an experiment set for 6 months, but the more people who support it the more likely it will become permanent.
