Love it! Reddit was unusable to me with its crazy mods, so I mostly lurked. I also personally find lemmings to be more welcoming than redditors.

And I like to be somewhere closer to the start of the journey we’re all making here on Lemmy even though it’s been years since it was released. We’re still early (but for real, unlike with creepto).

Well, something like this.

Remote work threatens the status quo.

I suppose it’s not that unclear if you compare the revenue of all other industries combined to the revenue of the advertising industry. The ratio is pretty large and every type of industry buys ads, so it trickles down from everywhere.

I really cannot understand why advertising is such a huge business. Where does all the money spent on advertising really come from?

It’s so that the machine elves have some time to hide!

On a serious note, I found this explanation here:

Washing machines must have some way in which you can lock the door closing mechanism when the machine is started up and then unlock them with a certain delay (normally two minutes) after the current has switched off via the program or on/off switch, in order to ensure that the door cannot be opened while some of the components are still rotating initially (in particular the motor and the drum of the spin-dryer).

Washing machines have a bi-metal strip inside the door lock which is heated by PTC Heater (resister) when live and neutral are activated on to the pcts it heats up and bends the bi-metal strip which then moves the arm to activate the common terminal and push a pin into the closed door to lock it in place. Once this has happened (usually a second or so see video) the power then can flow through to the common wire, and therefore on to the rest of the machine allowing it to start.

It was a metaphor for personal hygiene.

Weren’t we all supposed to become “prompt engineers”?

Orthography is hygiene for written thoughts.

The Hands Resist It!

I would say since faking most Lemmy interactions isn’t profitable, there’s no point in using chatbots to generate content for it apart from, perhaps, some sort of a social experiment, but your exposure to such experiments would likely be minimal.

Of course, you should always beware of astroturfing when, for example, looking at product recommendations, but I don’t think we’re there yet in terms of numbers to be a target.

Oh, I didn’t notice any with an adblock. Sorry about that!

Ironically I haven’t yet read any of the books in the trilogy, but I plan to do it soonish.

The coolest name.

Thank you for your reply!

I wonder how much experience you had with those technologies beforehand.

Edit: found the answers about Rust here and here. Impressive! Would it be reasonable to assume that y’all didn’t have much prior experience with Inferno as well as you appear to be very quick and eager learners?

Why did you choose Rust for the backend and Inferno for the frontend?

P.S. Thank you for your work!

I think the example isn’t correct anymore. See this comment.

Accuracy is guaranteed though, it’s from this post.

I’ll take a look. I haven’t really examined the bottom comments before. Also I just learned about the Barbara pit massacre.

I meant the debate is not productive in the sense that we only have our opinions and opposing anecdotes to back up our arguments. I may change my mind after I make the observations you suggested.

And after all, Nutomic said they’d never remove the slur filter, and yet here we are, they caved in after all and effectively fully removed it by making it fully customizable.

I admit, it’s probably idealistic of me to expect all people to follow the guideline of “downvote is not a disagree button”. But I assume most users are already acting in good faith and those who disrupt the intended use (promote quality content, discourage uninteresting content) are a minority.

There is no data that the algorithm is not doing its job on Lemmy. My personal experience show that it does an okay job at least, so I inclined to believe that voting is still more of a good thing than a bad thing. If the problems you mention become significant, then they should be addressed, but only if and when. It’s unlikely that voting on Lemmy is going anywhere, so arguing about it is not productive.

Dessalines puts it pretty well here.
