Storing and serving videos is expensive, they have to pay for it somehow. Either you pay directly or someone else pays for you (through an Ad). I don’t see why this is inherently a problem.

I can see arguments on if the specifics are a problem with how they’re going about it, but the fundamentals make sense.

Unfortunately I dont have the time or willpower to go into detail and I do disagree with how you want change to come about, but if what you want happens, I truly hope it results in a better society for people to live in. I think we can both agree we just want things to be better for people.

I respectfully disagree that the party could never change due to their current funding, and I am rubbed the wrong way by how you continue to seem to push that I shouldn’t support better politicians just because they aren’t perfect.

Bernie and those like him have informed me and many others of what a good politician can look like and may have inspired others like AOC to start their career. I will support them as much as I can because they may inspire even more like them to actually have enough people to make a meaningful change in the party or, if we miraculously get away from the two party system, spin up a new one.

That’s not what that implies. I’ve seen that argument from religious people describing how atheists must be unruly because they have no incentive to meet a good afterlife.

I can still be clean, look how I want, and be nice to others just because I want to and I like it when others do the same.

Nah it’s just a hook, go for it champ

Knowing that LLMs are just “parroting” is one of the first steps to implementing them in safe, effective ways where they can actually provide value.

It’s more obvious when it’s someone with emoji as their name (you know who you are :p )

When it comes to browsing the web and showing content and having good add-ons, edge does a good job.

But why does it need to constantly advertise itself and other microsoft things to me? It’s annoying when Firefox does this, but it feels like edge does it almost every time I open it.

The matter has to move through the portal at the speed of the train, and it won’t suddenly lose all momentum when it’s done being pushed through. B imo.

I can’t wait until the bitter people find out that these reddit behaviors are actually just human behaviors. Let people enjoy themselves.

The reactions around sync and people seeing “reddit behaviors” (read: human behavior) are incredibly toxic and tiring. Let people enjoy themselves and do what they want if they aren’t hurting anyone else. Lemmy/Kbin as a whole are growing, and I think that’s awesome in general that the community is working together to make their own social network. Let’s not soil it with pointless infighting and “better than thou” attitudes.
