Do people value me posting this each time we upgrade?

Absolutely yes!

Somebody lied to get out of trouble?!? What a clever strategy!

What if the discussion is intended to be about the issues with that source, and the article is being linked as an example?

I convinced another user to invite me over IRC. That’s probably the worst medium for convincing someone that you’re human

Hahah, I'll say!

How would you design a test that only a human can pass, but a bot cannot?

Very simple.

In every area of the world, there are one or more volunteers depending on population / 100 sq km. When someone wants to sign up, they knock on this person's door and shakes their hand. The volunteer approves the sign-up as human. For disabled folks, a subset of volunteers will go to them to do this. In extremely remote area, various individual workarounds can be applied.

WTF, I ain't watching an hour long video on a stupid fridge! I'll just watch the first few minutes and see what's up.....

One hour later.....

Okay, that was really interesting. I really love this channel.

TIL the Technology Connections guy is on Lemmy via Mastadon.

And that's awesome!

Are any of these accounts bots?

About 2.45 million of the 2.5 are, yes.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Yup, came here to say that as well. it's al bots. The active users graph is much more realistic.

And I've been seeing some...odd looking.... comments recently from users at instances known for being mostly bots. Some of these comments really look AI generated, and have a suspicious number of upvotes.

Were you able to figure out how to do this? I have the same question.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for adding that to the readme about what lines to comment out.

Yeah I havent been able to get it working with the new version still

No problem. I wonder what they changed in the API?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

For us poor schmucks that want to use this in different communities but don't do javascript, can you let us know specifically which lines to comment out on the initial run to avoid all the backposts? Thanks.

Edit: I see a note in the updated readme that it's not working on instances running 0.18?

 

A community to discuss print science fiction and speculative fiction in all its forms.

I welcome any comments and input into making this a great Lemmy community!

Have fun!

 

Yup, it still works. The hose was replaced long ago, so that's not original. I have a really nice cordless Dyson that I use for day to day vacuuming, but this one lives downstairs and still does the job when its asked of it.

A place to discuss and post videos, photos, and other content of all kinds of vintage and retro technology. Radios, phones, appliances, steam shovels, that weird gizmo from your grandma's kitchen, you name it!

There are already some excellent communities on Lemmy for retro PCs specifically, so those kind of posts should go there instead.

 

Upon joining Lemmy I noticed there was no similar community here yet, so I created one.

A place to discuss and show off your vintage and retro technology. Avoid discussion of retro personal computers here but almost any other retro and old technology photos, videos, and discussion is welcome and encouraged.
