But that’s humans? It’s always been like that, everywhere at all times. The only thing that’s changed, maybe, is that Lemmy is growing and there’s more discussion in general so of course the absolute number of things that cause name-calling has grown too, just like the absolute number of things that don’t.
You’ll have to be more specific. I’m not seeing any unusual amount of negativity.
What’s that thing about expressing any passion? What do you mean by that?
Wh… What are we competing in…??
Splendid idea, I don’t have a license, I don’t know what I’m doing so I shall sacrifice myself for the greater good and drive that car. Oh also, we’re listening to a playlist of songs by obscure indie Bravo punk band Die Ärzte, with Schrei nach Liebe being on there several times, obviously.

I sometimes make a conscious effort to understand electricity. For a few days, I then think I understand what’s going on and then promptly I forget.
(Yes, I shall watch this video.)
I be not bovveréd, forsooth.
You’ll have to prove the existence of a coder first.
Nay, I daresay I judge it not possible, goode Sir or Lady, notte now nor e’er.
Just don’t expect nuance or depth. Or, in case of languages that aren’t closely related to yours, to be understood.
Ah, so they’d be competing with my phone’s already aggressive need to protect me from notifications it deems unwanted. Be that as it may, I don’t use the feature anyway.
I’d rather have notifications for channels that don’t upload very often (thus I don’t interact much with them) because when they do upload, I’m likely to miss it.
This is the internet, there is no healthy version of anything.
Oh you’re saying that this is about right wingers who think the Last Samurai is okay (while Ass Creed isn’t).
… That… makes sense. Huh. I hadn’t seen it that way.
That’s presumably the beginnings of an awareness of why that narrative is problematic. And also of the importance of historic accuracy. His role in the narrative was that of a saviour though. (Also, he survives.)
And even then, there were people who were uncomfortable with a narrative of some heroic white dude coming in to save the exotic natives. Just wasn’t a very popular opinion.
There is a lot of highly critical discourse around the Last Samurai. Not current, because it’s not a current movie, but saying that it’s “okay” suggests you they haven’t looked for criticism.
Also, weary.
Edit: clarity.
Edit2: I have since been made aware by @[email protected] of a different perspective that makes a lot more sense, see comments below.
Well… Yes but… oh go post a letter. ;)
They are a feature that capitalists think will be useful - of course they are ultimately meant to make you spend more money. It’s not inconceivable that means they’ll make your visit to a site more pleasant (so you’ll be likely to come back to spend more).
That said, it’s also The Thing To Do these days to put AI into everything, whether it’s actually useful or not. So whether or not any particular AI assistant will be helpful or not is anyone’s guess and you’ll have to try them to see. Any AI assistant I’ve interacted with has been decidedly less than helpful and just barfed up what information I could’ve found more easily on my own.
True story.
(I ended up assuming they’re not going to show me shit.)
