  • How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times?

    Jump

  • One can only fight this pessimism for themselves. For some people there is no urge to fight it. They want to be part of the hardest times. Perhaps it works as a coping mechanism and in the end the problems most relatable to you are those that you are facing.

    But if someone truly wants to feel less pessimism, all you have to do is to look back and reflect on history. A lot of people miss how long some "modern" problems have truly existed, long before it became relevant to them, from decades to millenniums. Some are totally aware of it, but it may be difficult to look at the past of a problem where you didn't care about it or may even have been part of the problem. Or the history was so long ago that you only look at is as stories and nothing you can relate to.

    We also underestimate our ability to live through the hell and normalize it. We were doomed multiple times and here we are. Vice versa, we underestimate the quality of life (especially in the western world) we have today. It's not only hygiene, health and entertainment. We have progressed in our thoughts so much. Again, a lot of problems have only changed in how we recognize them as such. I'm not saying you shouldn't fight fascism, because a lot of modern fascism used to be normalized not too long. I'm saying that we should be aware that we live in a time where we don't ignore these problems in the first place.

  • Latest ChatGPT model uses Elon Musk’s Grokipedia as source, tests reveal

  • Uhm. Is the article talking about the information gathered...with the web search tool? They do realize that it's just an abstraction layer that won't magically fix the misinformation on the internet, right?

  • It do be like that

  • What are your favorite RPG maker games?

    Jump

  • OMORI is one of my favorite games, perhaps even my #1, in general.

  • Why are programmers so rude to beginners?

  • You have already assumed way too much without knowing what exactly they have asked.

  • How to stop Wayland from broadcasting my selected text?

    Jump

  • What is the application and did you notice similar behavior outside of it, e.g. being able to paste the currently selected text? I would also check your clipboard manager's configuration. Clipboards (usually) have a clipboard buffer (for CTRL + C -> CTRL + V) and a primary buffer (for selected text -> mouse middle button paste). Some problems arise from the confusing default settings of some clipboard managers, e.g. the synchronization of both buffers.

  • Swiss messaging service Threema is being acquired by German investment company Comitis Capital

    Jump

  • It's ridiculous that we have so many proper alternatives and the only thing missing are people in our personal circles to care about them. What's even more ridiculous is that a few people seem to be slowly shifting away from WhatsApp as their primary choice, but instead they use Discord for direct messaging =) How...

  • Why AI coding tools shift the real bottleneck to review

    Jump

  • I believe for simple, common tasks and small projects, it's at least manageable. Even good, if you are not forced to use AI and can simply choose to what extent you use the tools and its results.

    But with enterprise-level coding agents that are supposed to handle issues in long-term projects, the work is shifted to every other phase really, before and after the coding. Initially I thought that proper documentation at least benefits everybody, but prompts and instructions optimized for AI are not necessarily good documentation for humans to read.

  • I created an arch linux wallpaper in gimp.

    Jump

  • An arch user with large arms and spiky hands opens the curtains to look at the dangerous world outside through the window. Perhaps red is indeed a better choice.

  • Keyboard Football Game

    Jump

  • I get that, but I didn't understand why you posted the code as an issue instead of checking in the code to your repository. If you're not familiar with git version control, you could start with the basics alongside your first projects (even if they are AI-generated).

    But after looking at your repositories, I think I have too many questions that are probably better left unanswered °-°

  • What is literary fiction?

    Jump

  • In a store/library/browser I interpret it as the misc category. The other, perhaps outdated or simply prejudiced, aspects (artistic, high culture, etc.) make more sense with the context that at some point the fiction world started to use genres to market fiction to target audiences.

    So people could imply that a genre fiction that easily falls into such a genre must be simplistic, commercial and uses the benefit of a readership that is already familiar with the genre. Vice versa, a literary fiction that doesn't fit these popular genres, can be regarded as unique, complex and a work of art that doesn't bend to the masses.

  • And how do you keep that opinion to yourself, when a woman asks for your opinion on her makeup, but uses this analogy to pretend that it's physically impossible for you and any other man to simply dislike make-up?

  • But "itis" isn't "it is", is it?

  • What should we be doing, individually, to increase Lemmy's userbase?

    Jump

  • I agree to an extent. The problem is that an interest in a specific topic does not translate into an interest in the broader topic. Personally, if we only had broad communities on the level you suggested, I'd likely not use Lemmy at all, because then I'd have to spend too much time scrolling past the majority of posts or adding filters.

  • [meta] pls stop banning people

    Jump

  • I can see the issue with spam-bots, regardless of the self-nuking, and how especially this community is targeted. But I wouldn't consider the accounts marked in this post as spam-bots at all.

    If this community or instance considers a couple of posts a day, perhaps specifically from new users, spamming, then as a user I'd expect that rule to be written before actions are taken.

    In general, I'm not disputing the actions of the mods and I hate to be the guy who expects something from people who contribute to this platform in their free-time, but for these kind of bans based on suspicions and patterns, I just wish there would at least be more transparent communication.

  • [meta] pls stop banning people

    Jump

  • In that case I have a few doubts:

    1. Why is the given ban reason for these accounts "bot", when that doesn't describe the actual issue here, and why isn't there a clear transparent explanation how these accounts were identified as part of this self-destruction scheme?
    2. What exactly is the issue with self-destructing accounts other than losing the comments, discussions, etc. associated with the posts? Because if that's the only thing, I don't see the severity.

  • I don't care about the quantity, but arbitrary sex scenes for the sake of sex sells are one of the most annoying elements in modern film and television - especially in Netflix TV shows. While sex sells is not new, it used to be at least within the flow of the movie/TV show. Now it's Witcher 1 level of random sex, as if a specific amount of sex per season was part of a contract.
