Idk this whole thread confuses me. I’m on est.social instance, I’m gonna assume I see everyone who hasnt excluded my instance and vice versa…

Sorry what do you mean? I see users posting from other instances in my mastodon app (I haven’t used it much).

Funny, I remember in 2017 the voice chat had mic issues all the time but now that works much better. But I suppose everything else got bloated…

yeah my analogy is not so good… LLMs suck with factual stuff, they are better with coding or languages (Claude has been really helpful to me with Estonian).

I should had clarified i’m not an american, i’m from eastern europe.

Well yes, they are glorified text autocomplete, but they still have their uses which could be considered “smart”. For example I was struggling with a programming thing today and an LLM helped me out, so in a way it is smarter than me in that specific thing. I think it’s less that they are dumb and more that they have no agency whatsoever, they have to be pushed into the direction you want. Pretty annoying…

I spend too much time online and this has probably created a bias, it looks like most people around me don’t really care. Yesterday I even stumbled upon some comments on Lemmy who thought BuyFromEU was about European nationalism and not about the shit that is going on in USA… Sigh. Anyway, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle, not good to hate too much, but it seems healthy to trust USA a bit less now. /rant

LLMs are smart in the way someone is smart who has read all the books and knows all of them but has never left the house. Basically all theory and no street smarts.

I guess they are talking about re-encoding because video files are already compressed.

I’m not the OP, but it’s a headache even with trash guides

Something tells me these freedom cities would be a different beast entirely. Somehow I doubt the UK private towns don’t follow the national or local laws of the country.

Maybe at some point in his mid 50ties he should have focused on one thing.

He seems to be focused on twitter posting.

I just installed LibreWolf like a week ago, it seems to work fine in 99% of cases. I just get this “WebGL not supported” in some pages (i’m reading now that it can be enabled, though) and also now this upvote/downvote thing in alexandrite. Anyway, yesterday I updated it, but the upvotes and downvotes are still missing for some reason. Also, I had 2 windows open and librewolf remembered only one of them after the update, oh well. Still need to figure out the kinks…

I’m still using firefox on another device, and it looks like comments show no upvotes at all, regardless of the browser?

Oh, I just realized its bugged on LibreWolf. Thanks anyway!

can i see upvote and downvote count on it?

Oh…

I disagree, if my pocket is busy I need to take things out to tell the difference between them. Also, my hands can’t tell the difference between my cards.

Yeah, like they said, not much intelligence to spare anymore.

Reddit is pretty nice as a source of information, but mostly on smaller and more obscure things, not big political topics like US elections… that’s what the last year has taught me, at least.
