Wtf is that thing next to Shadow

So you’re saying instead of tacking “site:reddit.com” onto my Google search, I can now use ChatGPT to get the same information, except without the original context, and it will often be wrong? Amazing!

And this also means that companies will fill Reddit with fake comments promoting their brand to ensure that their brand gets mentioned in ChatGPT responses, right? Can’t wait!

They could add some kind of warning message that notifies you when the URL has unicode in it. Then the user can decide if they want to disable the warning or not.

I think it will happen. Multiplayer video games already match people with bots that are presented as if they were human players, and 99.9% of players don’t care. As long as a game makes you feel like you’re playing against other humans, most people consider that good enough. Similarly, as long as a bot on Instagram or Twitter feels human enough to be enjoyable to interact with, users won’t care that they aren’t actually human.

Sounds kinda cool but I can’t think of any situations where I would want to use it.

I see what you mean. In a way, lifestyle and fashion choices are already partially governed by AI, in the sense that Instagram and TikTok recommendation algorithms influence what the user perceives as being trendy. I don’t know if we’ll get to the point where people are literally letting an AI tell them what to do, but I think AI will only get more and more influential in our lives in subtle ways.

I got excited for a second cuz I thought this was going to be like Street Pass on 3DS. Someone should make an app that does that.

Why is everyone saying this is because Stack Overflow is toxic? Clearly the decline in traffic is because of ChatGPT. I can say from personal experience that I’ve been visiting Stack Overflow way less lately because ChatGPT is a better tool for answering my software development questions.

I got it. In addition to commenting out the listen [::]:80 line in templates/nginx.conf, I also had to comment out the corresponding line on the server at /etc/nginx/sites-available/default. Thank you!!!

It’s not working, I’m still getting the same error. I don’t know why it’s still complaining about [::]:80 even though I commented that part out. Do I need to perform some kind of cleanup on the target server?

This is why I hate Twitter and Facebook. Their algorithms are designed to promote posts that cause political division.

I was expecting your document to be some kind of tutorial, but it seems like you wrote it for people who already know what they’re doing. I would need to understand the “normal” way of doing it first before I would be able to understand what you’re talking about in your document. (Note: I’m new to Docker, which is why I gave up on setting up my own Lemmy server. It would be nice if someone could write a tutorial specifically for people who are new to Docker.)

If you want to help people set up their instances, I don’t think your document should have so much focus on the differences between your method and the official method, because that just adds to the confusion. It would be more helpful to just focus on your method and explain it in a way that noobs can understand.

I know one crypto bro IRL. He acknowledges that it’s all just a pyramid scheme, but he enjoys it because it’s like gambling but with more strategy involved I guess.

As someone who isn’t sold on electric vehicles yet, this is a very good thing for me. Proprietary charging stations are one of my main reasons for not buying an EV yet.

This is very pointless and it just makes the headphones heavier for no benefit to the wearer

If Facebook is reducing the amount of controversial news that users see, I think that’s a really good thing for society (since presumably this means that fake news and rage bait news is de-prioritized as well.) But it is very shitty that Facebook has so much power over so many companies. It’s upsetting that a single company has so much power over what people see online.

People don’t dislike defederation because they misunderstand it. They dislike it because it’s a bad user experience. It sucks to effectively get banned from a bunch of major communities through no fault of your own. It’s a flawed system. I don’t know what a good solution would be, but it’s definitely an issue.

We need an actual official setup tutorial that is kept up to date. The existing documentation for the Docker setup process is extremely bare-bones, and it doesn’t even link to the right config files. There are some unofficial tutorials out there that are better, but they’re outdated and they link to the wrong config files too.

If big instances are already defederating from each other then I don’t see how Lemmy can grow like many of us want it to. I mean, now any new user who randomly chooses Lemmy.World as their server is going to get a much worse Lemmy experience and they won’t even be aware of it. (Come to think of it, maybe I’m getting a lesser experience right now because maybe my server defederated from another big server that I’m not aware of.) This seems like a flawed system, or at least it seems like a system that isn’t intended to have much user growth.

I guess we just have to hope that Redditors continue to be frustrated with Reddit in the future and keep migrating here over time (as opposed to just forgetting about the idea of moving to alternative platforms after they’ve gotten over the current controversy)
