Mindless negativity has arrived - at least in lemmy.world.

I have some tech-related subscriptions, so I check those out every now and then, but they have few new posts. So when I browse the Popular section, oy… corporations bad, climate change bad, war bad, economy bad. (Not saying it’s not true, I just want a place I can browse and escape all that for five minutes.)

And some users (even mods!) have an “all-or-nothing” attitude too, which is infuriating because they won’t drive me away from the cause, but they may drive away others with less patience.

For example, I say “I support the blue color. Now, I wonder, if metallic blue with a purple hue is really a true blue? And how? Trying to learn. Just curious…” and then someone says “YOU JUST OUTED YOURSELF AS A BLUE HATER!!!”

Oh, good point about the unwanted attention!

I guess if I had “fuck you” money, I’d just have an actual truck’s exterior transformed into something that resembled the cybertruck, just for the ridiculousness of its looks. But you wouldn’t catch me driving tesla tech.

Nope. Not true.

Ok, fair point.

But who is “we”?

Eh. They could have used a different projection. It’s kinda silly to grab, say, Algeria, move it around, and see it grow and shrink.

It “looks” nice from afar. Apparently, when you look closer, then it looks less nice - or useful, to be fair. For example, the truck bed appears to be inconvenient. And it seems that in some models, you can’t even fit a dirt bike in it.

Average Linux user > average windows user.

Plus Linux doesn’t track you (depending on distro, I suppose.)

But I kid. People should use whatever the fuck they want.

Are there any practical examples of applied AI these days? Like, used in robotics or computer applications?

if someone is too stupid to figure out how to vote they probably shouldn’t be voting in the first place.

Not what you said at the beginning, but if we take this new one, let’s just say that it’s a false equivalency and call it a day.

You’re no better than the disconnected billionaires and politicians.

Says a group of people don’t deserve to vote.

Claims he wants people to vote.

Your logic is even weirder.

Oh okay.

Your opinion is very weird, friend.

when I asked if they changed their mailing address and checked their voting status, we discovered they weren’t.

They weren’t what?

I don’t think the issue is with strangers taking clothes out of a machine that just finished. That would be a weird behavior indeed.

The issue is with you leaving the laundromat, go for a cup of coffee, return two hours later when the cycle finished 55 minutes ago, and whining that your clothes were removed.

The last TV I had was a 55’ inch dumb one. Absolutely NO smart features bullshit. And I had to leave it behind when I moved to a different country. The sound sucked, but that was fixed with a sound bar.

I miss that TV.

You tripped me up with this one. I thought you were talking about Duolingo for a bit.

Nice trolling.

I hope I encounter you in that situation, because I’ll call you a poor fuck (like me) who can’t afford their own machine.

I don’t have a problem with strangers taking my clothes out of my machine if it’s done and I, for some reason, can’t be there to take it out myself and the place is packed with people waiting to do their laundry.

I’m okay with being distracted.

If a woman wants to wear a short, short skirt to work, or no bras, then so be it. I will probably stare when no one is looking, but I will for sure remain professional otherwise.

What’s the difference between this scenario and having a mesmerizing painting in the common area.

Shit, I’m objectifying women!!!

Let’s just say that a dude with a good pair of biceps would be equally distracting, and I wouldn’t have an issue with that.

All these assume that you’ll see the snake before it latches onto you.
