Macncheese isn’t a big thing in other countries. Now cheesy potatoes with raisins!

Caught covid in line at the gas station for a lottery ticket :(

I check out reddit every few days and tbh lemmy has the same amount of mainstream content. The only difference is that reddit niche subs are more active.

I think the fact that anyone can make the same community on a new instance diminishes niche communities more. If I pick a game on reddit ill find 2 or so instances with lots of use. On lemmy there will be 10 communities all mostly abandoned.

You can feel a difference on reddit though. Quality content and content numbers are greatly reduced from even a month ago.

I pay 150 a month for 20/10mbps (actual is more like 10/5) with a 1.5tb cap. I would stab a baby to get yours.

Nice. It was inevitable. A general lemmy instance needs to protect itself.

Walmart has a policy where you are not allowed to accept tips. If you are caught you are fired. People try to tip all the time for the grocery delivery stuff and if they manage to get money into your hand or the delivery basket you have to inform a member of the management staff. Granted this might not be true at every location but it is part of the corporate training you have to do if you work there longer than 4 months.

You are now immune so fight them back! Lots of?biting and clawing until they accept you as their leader.

Lets make one but populate it with bots that only repost bs from the other one… (That’s my lemme experience in a nutshell)

Lots of money… like insane money for how much work it is.

I imagine as it grows it will become more useful. It’s not particularly my viewpoint that lemdro.id isnt useful. The opposite is true. I was just pointing out in my original post that, sadly, all I’ve gotten sofar were unhelpful bot responses. I wasnt particularly trying to push an agenda or anything. I like lemdro.id and am registered there and will help where I can to make it better… but also bots… :D

This is one of the bots that responded. I did a “bad bot” type reply to it and it delete or someone delete it’s post. https://lemdro.id/u/GPT4

I dont particularly have an issue with bots and this one is clearly marked a bot. The main issue is that it just searched and summarized the top 10 reddit answers to the same question which I had already done… Im sure the bot didnt break any of the bot rules. It’s just that bots dont generally give good answers to questions without refinement to the parameters. If I was directly using ChatGPT I’m sure I could get it to give an acceptable answer to most questions. But a random bot giving a general answer is not much use. (To me at least).

Sometimes people just dont have answers to the questions… Bots always do sadly even when they are not correct.

Posted a question to lemdro.id last week and solar only got useless bot replies that seemed to have .crolled previous reddit posts about the same question.

That is literally what happens every year with r/place. Hundreds of thousands of bots placing pixels based on pregenerated images. Then the bots fight each other. Then reddit uses their own bots to censor things or mod tools to drop a bunch of random pixels over the top of images to wipe them out.

That’s my problem I have 8 cheat days a week :( Hard to lose weight that way!

For now. But if they the majority of market share things will change.

I’m against it. Microsoft has for years been trying to move everything to subscription based. This is how they kill standard game ecosystems. Its like a walmart going in. They function at a loss until they kill all competition. Then they corner the market and dramatically raise prices. They want office 360 for games and in the end we all suffer because they get to decide which games are on the pass and how long.

I want more games like valheim. Could care less about the graphic HD quality. Just give me a good game that looks good enough I can forget about my actual life for a while.

This problem existed on reddit too still. You have r/games r/game r/gamers r/gamenews r/gamernews etc. All trying to do the exact same thing.

They absolutely selected the 6th because the 5 day early access would land on friday before labor day. It’s scummy as all hell and yet here I am about to preorder lol. But at the same time they set it up so my first time playing will be over a long weekend so also not scummy… I’m torn tbh.

Because for the most part we know we are going to be buying it before it goes on sale anyways and preordering it generally lets us preload it and gives you some extras (that generally are not worth anything in game but still cool to have). The big thing for me, especially with this game, is that preordering it gets me a Sept1 release which is right before the weekend and I can proload it with the leftover data to help prevent a datacap in September.

I have not preordered it yet… but I will.
