I don’t think trees are older than bacteria in general. Bacteria still existed, it’s just that bacteria didn’t develop the ability to break down wood until long after trees had come on the scene

Did he say that he invented that word?

Technically, they are predicting the next token. To do that properly they may need to predict the next idea, but thats just a means to an end (the end being the next token).

and anyone who even so much as questions the reports is called a Russian bot or a Russian troll or a MAGA fascist.

That doesn’t really match my experience

So I’m fucking sick of people saying that Trump is a Russian asset and that he’s doing the Iran thing so that America becomes weak so that Russia can finally take over the world

I agree that this seems implausible

Why does it have to be one of these two extremes? The reality is likely somewhere in the middle

Maybe pushing Piefed instead of lemmy would be the way to go. Piefed has a more beginner friendly UI and makes it easier to find new communities

They play high frequency tones over the speakers (usually with music going) that act like barcodes so your mic picks it up and sends data while we’re none the wiser.

Can you please elaborate

Right I see. That is an advantage

You cannot kill the will of the people. Relevant video

True, but I think it would be a good thing if this place was less niche. The world would be a better place if Lemmy/Piefed surpassed Reddit in terms of total users. Open protocols > corporate overlords. That said the federation aspect of it might make it disjointed enough to maintain that niche feeling. Your particular instance could still be niche even if the wider fediverse is not

It might be harder to manage with federation but, at the same time, it makes corruption more difficult. Reddit is a good example of this. They could manage this problem well but they don’t, because the corrupt overlords that manage it are a single point of failure for the entire network. That would never happen with lemmy/piefed because we could, like you said, just switch instances

Yeah but ideally you’d want to federate with the wider fediverse, where there may be bots. Because a social network with population one sounds no fun

Wow, I knew the problem was bad, but… Jesus. How do we prevent something like this from happening on Lemmy/Piefed if they end up getting really popular? I guess the fact that post history isn’t private here helps

Whats the XZ thing? Im out of the loop

This is why they’re infiltrating open source projects

Are they infiltrating open source projects too now?

Theres talk of a new law in California that requires operating systems to verify the users’ age. This would be a way of implementing that in Linux distros

Thanks for all the hard work you put in for making a create social network (Piefed) and helping grow the fediverse 🫡 I appreciate it. Keep fighting the good fight

How would the moons gravity affect the growth of crops?

What’s wrong with Nvidia? Genuine question

Deflect is also a good alternative. It’s based in Montreal, Quebec. It’s what a lot of Canadian instances in the fediverse are moving too (see here).
