  • who is on Lemmy (the sociology of Lemmy)

    Jump

  • I'm curious, how did you find out about and start using Lemmy? Most folks on Reddit when the API fiasco was happening acted like you needed to be a tech god to even sign up, so I'm curious if you felt intimidated at all?

  • Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT

    Jump

  • If you use LLMs in your professional work, you're crazy

    Eh, we use copilot at work and it can be pretty helpful. You should always check and understand any code you commit to any project, so if you just blindly paste flawed code (like with stack overflow,) that's kind of on you for not understanding what you're doing.

  • Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two

    Jump

  • Honestly, that makes it funnier to me

  • [serious] If Project 2025 becomes a reality. Would you fight in a civil war?

    Jump

  • I'm on board with bashing project 2025, but I don't think I'd call those "4th rate universities," at least not UT Austin

  • the struggle

    Jump

  • Lot of people in this comment section are neglecting that it can just be fun for some people, and there's no need to stake your entire identity on a personality test

  • Judge holds Trump in contempt for violating gag order in hush money trial

    Jump

  • His stake in his "media" company is (nonsensically) still worth billions of dollars right now. He probably won't be able to cash all of that out if he wanted to, but he is definitely not broke.

  • Reddit embracing all out enshittification

    Jump

  • This post makes it seem like the Sichumaria (4.4 out of 5 stars) Long Handle 24.6 inch Shoe Horn actually makes it harder to shoehorn, when the opposite is actually true!

    I love my Sichumaria (4.4 out of 5 stars) Long Handle 24.6 inch Shoe Horn!

  • Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

    Jump

  • Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple

    Jump

  • Above commenter was saying that you're not allowed to use any other app besides the default messages app to send SMS on an iPhone, so a third party can't just come in with an SMS app that also implements RCS so everyone can be happy

  • Stop doing Computer Science

    Jump

  • Man, this must just be a right of passage for working as a SWE or MLE at this point. I've heard this pitch from coworkers/managers more than once.

  • I wish humans could get firmware upgrades

    Jump

  • Buddy, I'm not telling you it will work for you. I'm talking about on the whole we have scientific evidence to prove that it is effective. I'm literally only responding to your claim that "therapy is pseudoscience." No need to get so defensive.

  • I wish humans could get firmware upgrades

    Jump

  • I still somewhat take issue with that characterization though. It doesn't just "work for me and that's okay," it works period. It has been clinically shown to work for other people too. I only say this because spreading misinformation about it being "pseudoscience" and ineffective only serves to continue some people's pain and never find an effective treatment for them, and I believe that's potentially dangerous.

  • Trying to find a website that shows the threadiverse active user number over a long period of time

    Jump

  • So, knowing this, what can we conclude from these graphs? It looks like posts and comments are going up but active users are going down. Does this mean that the posters are posting more individually? Enough to offset the drop in active users?

  • Looks like the stories feature for Pixelfed is currently rolling out on the flagship instance

    Jump

  • It's mostly for things that don't warrant a post but your friends might still think are interesting. I'm big on live music so it makes it easy for me to see a snippets of shows people go to or even to figure out if friends happen to be at the same show, but that's just my personal example.

  • What is the best way to make more friends as an adult?

    Jump

  • Anything in particular help you shift away from that?

  • I wish humans could get firmware upgrades

    Jump

  • I have gone through some trauma therapy that has helped where no talk therapy has been able to. There are lots of studies showing the effectiveness too. Look up EMDR or brain spotting.

    I really just have to push back on the "doing nothing at all" or "talking to a rubber duck" piece because I'd been trying that for years and trauma flashbacks don't seem just go away on their own.

  • lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse

    Jump

  • Good info! Fwiw, I wasn't intending for it to be "inflammatory bait", but a jab at the congresspeople who use "for the children" as a way to sneak in bad legislation instead of actually doing things that could protect children

  • lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse

    Jump

  • Tbh I'm kind of surprised no government has set up a service themselves to deal with situations like this since law enforcement is always dealing with CSAM, and it seems like it'd make their job easier.

    Plus with the flurry of hugely privacy-invading or anti-encryption legislation that shows up every few months under the guise of "protecting the children online", it seems like that should be a top priority for them, right?! Right...?

  • Anyone from Germany care to comment on why this is? Y'all seem to have such a large presence on here compared to others
