Their question is about the Connect app, not Lemmy in general.

Cheese is good, though. Bullshit seems like a more appropriate comparison.

Did it "age like milk" when they were just lying the whole time?

What's the excuse here? "Afab players are too stupid to face trans opponents"?

It’s not like they interrupt the movie for ads

Oh man, could you imagine? I'd actually never go to a movie again if that became a thing. That'd be such bullshit.

It's been ~25 minutes of trailers since 2010. All that's new here is the transparency.

Every time a ceo whines about how they "can't" do something, everyone should add "...without stopping the siphoning of ever more money to our shareholders and ourselves."

The raids are bullshit, but at least companies are finally facing some sort of consequence for their institutional, systemic exploitation of migrants.

Too late for a lemm.ee account, but in case it's relevant in the future - Lemmy has the option to export and import account information in the settings menu. It won't copy posts, but it will copy everything else, allowing for much easier migration.

I didn't get a light until the gb color. It held into port well enough, but yeah, that thing chewed through batteries as well. I was so happy when I got an sp.

The thing is, it's not about it being convincing or not, it's about reinforcing problematic behaviors. LLMs are, at their core, agreement machines that work to fulfill whatever goal becomes apparent from the user (it's why they fabricate answers instead of responding in the negative if a request is beyond their scope). And when it comes to the mentally fragile, it doesn't even need to be particularly complex to "yes, and..." them swiftly into full on psychosis. Their brains only need the littlest bit of unfettered reinforcement to fall into the hole.

A properly responsible company would see this and take measures to limit or eliminate the problem, but these companies see the users becoming obsessed with their product as easy money. It's sickening.

Acting like your experience is exemplary of every possible experience other people can have with LLMs is just turning around the blame on the victims. The lack of safeguards to prevent this is to blame, not the people prone to mental issues falling victim to it.

 

I don't have many bombshells myself, unfortunately. Mostly just oldies and things I've been waiting on.

Hollow Knight is good for any price, but for $7.50 is a steal. Absolutely stellar game.

Another Crab's Treasure is an...interesting one. I haven't finished it, but it had fairly good combat, imo, and a very different atmosphere to the grimdark horrors we usually find in souls-likes. I do recall the leveling felt a bit lackluster, but maybe that was just me.

Nine Souls and TUNIC are two I've been considering for a little while now. I think I'll nab Tunic and wait on Nine Souls a little longer, personally. Death's Door also caught my eye at $5. Might be a good snag.

How about y'all? Any must haves with good deals this sale?
