Be honest: Do you still use mainstream social media? (piefed.ca)
 

Cuz the comments throught Lemmy/Piefed seems to indicate that literally every user on here is a FOSS/Dencentralization Purist and has 100% abandoned mainstream platforms.

I wonder if this is actually true or just a small minority of users being overrepresented.

Do you think information on how to build weapons should be legal to disseminate? Or should they be censored? Explain your reasoning? (piefed.ca)
 

I know someone is gonna be like: You can't build a nuke with only the information, the hard part is getting the [uranium/plutonium (or whatever its calledl]!

Thought Experiment:

Suppose in the future, humans all have an innate ability to summon nuclear bombs by doing a ritual, should instructions on how to do this ritual be legal to disseminate?

Or would you censor it for the safety of everyone? I mean, imagine everyone having a nuke that they can just summon... πŸ‘€

So... what say you, fellow fediverse user?

Should this hypothetical "summon-a-nuke" ritual be legal to teach people?

TIL about system justification theory and how people defend unfair systems because it’s easier than admitting they’re being screwed in c/til@lemmy.world

If you have 20 upvotes and 10 downvotes, it feels better to see the aggregate number; but if you have 20 downvotes and 10 upvotes, it feels better to see the two numbers separately... (piefed.ca)

SPIRITS! I just noticed that TWENTY-THREE YEARS of my life has been lost into the spacetime continnum. What happened to it? (piefed.ca)
 

(Wtf... I literally just spawned into this MMORPG... What a scam... I haven't even finished many quests yet... Pay To Win Bullshit)

Why does songs from non-English countries have random English words? Can you imagine if English songs randomly have Chinese words? (piefed.ca)
 

Usually its like just a few words sprinkled in, or at most like one or two lines...

Literally I feel like they're just trying to say: "Hey this is a foreign language I'm sooo cooool!"

If humans really treated cats the same as humans, you'd get jailed for petting random kittens on the street that you don't know. (piefed.ca)
 

Judge: You have been charged with First Degree Kittenphilia. Several witnesses claim they saw you approaching kittens and acting suspiciously... they're KITTENS! How do you answer to these charges?

In cultures where marriage is a social obligation and arranged marriages are common, marriage feels like those group projects in school. (piefed.ca)
 

Omg my parents and my maternal grandma was like: (about my older brother's marriage thing) "You have to see out more options (in the same timeframe) in case your first match fails" or something...

Marriage is like College to them, and their "searching for 'candidates for marriage'" is like looking at colleges (or perhaps a college processing applications), looking at the person's profiles, education level, wealth, looks, intelligence, occupation, etc...

So weird to be in the sphere of all this lol...

They be so busy mom doesn't even really wanna talk to me...

(What the hell is life? Is this what being a human is? Be born, cant do anything for 6 years, then go through 8 hours of school every day till 18, then college, then work, marriage, taxes, children, then onto the graveyard. Yayyy.

Pls get me out of this simulation, I'm so bored and tired... 😩

Sorry I got another existential crisis...)

"AI"/LLMs are a great tool to find recommendations on movies/tv/anime/songs etc... since there's not much harm if you don't like it ("truthfulness" is not as important in this context) (piefed.ca)
 

I mean just throw in a bunch of stuff you already liked, and then ask it to find similar stuff... Or just ask for a genre of stuff like "Space themed show with a lot of politics" (Assuming you didn't already know that, then voila, it spits out: Expanse)

If it fucks up and give you something totally not what you were looking for, there's not much harm besides a small bit of your time. Its fictional media anyways, just don't go looking for news or medical advice lol, avoid treating it as a truth machine and its not that bad...

Okay sure you can hate the corporate that is gonna do evil shit with these tech, but the tech itself still kinda useful... (maybe we'll get some very advanced and ethically made FOSS "AI"/LLM in the future, who knows)
