Me for Bill Gates and Mark Cuban, back when everyone loved them. Bill Gates was basically idolized on reddit, partaking on reddit santa and all that.

The thing is that I do not see AI "failing". Its current state is already goood enough to take many people's job, let us not kid ourselves. And also, even if the current iteration of AI "fails", there is always the argument that "we are just around the corner to AGI, wait for the new AI version!".

I honestly don't see AI going away, sadly. I fucking hate it. We built such a shitty fucking society. We could all have beautiful, chill lives, but nop. We suck.

I don't care, as long as they don't bring their BS with them and try to hit on gay men. I am thinking of the typical "instagram women".

Welcome!

Please, help growing Lemmy/PieFed. Create content and engage!

You should/could do a tutorial on how to do these sort of things, both get the dictionaries and format them!

The authority should be the people. A community is for the people, by the people. All a moderator needs to do is keep the community happy, by removing obvious spam. If a post is having engagement, even if it slightly breaks the rules, you let it be.

Again, a moderator is not a king. He is there to serve the will of the people. A community is made by the people/community, not by the moderator.

No, creating a new community is not the way to solve this sort of thing. Removing and banning the power tripping mod is the solution.

There is also a power tripping mod on !pics!pics@lemmy.world. See this post: https://slrpnk.net/post/34743977?scrollToComments=true

Hey there again! I tried the PT-PT dictionary and in terms of content, it is awesome. The formatting is a bit weird though. There is no formatting, everything is in the same phrase, different definitions in the same phrase gets annoying.

Is there a way to style it? For example, a word "XYZ: 1 bla bla 2 bla2 bla2" would look much better like so:

"XYZ:

  1. bla bla
  2. bla2 bla "

Is this something that can be done on my end? I use KOReader.

Americans are such a passive people. Their state can commit the worst atrocities, no peep from them. If this was any EU country, heads would be flying.

EDIT: After writing this, I thought and I disagree with my own statement. People suck. All people, generally. Some are a bit more passive than others, but generally, humanity sucks, people suck. We value comfort way too much and are not up to give up 0.1% of it, even in the face of atrocities. Principled people are very rare.

Has anyone watched any of these? Any good one? I haven't watched a movie in so long, but I am up for watching a climate-related one.

I find that "money" and "cash" should be the same community, if any. I just don't see enough content for each of them separately. I don't even see enough content overall. This splitting of communities into 100s different ones is, to me, the death by a thousand cuts.

 

Has anyone read "The Busy Worker’s Handbook to the Apocalypse"? The document/post is available here.

What are your thoughts on it? If you just look at the conclusion, it sounds doomy, however, if you read the whole thing, it seems to be based on facts. I haven't read the whole thing, I skimmed through it though.

I am interested in hearing your thoughts.

 

The title may sound weird. I initially wrote it as "fuck over the billionaires". But it is not only billionaires, but also multi-millionaires and people who think themselves hierarchically superior.

So:

  • Are you doing something to fuck over "the powerful"? If so, what?
 

So, there was a "spotify hack" recently, from Anna's Archive, as we all know. My question is:

  • Has the songs from that hack been made available? Can one easily get these songs? Say, I want song X from artist Y. Can I search and download?
 

I want to get the best possible dictionary for KOReader. Does anyone have the Oxford English Dictionary in a way that is usable by KOReader? Or does anyone know of a similar dictionary?

What about dictionaries in other languages? Any way to convert Kobo dictionaries to KOReader dictionaries?
