Was this thread better without it?
Yes.
I, and I assume most people, go into the comments on Lemmy to interact with other people. If I wanted to fucking chit-chat with an LLM (why you’d want to do that, I can’t fathom), I’d go do that. We all have access to LLMs if we wish to have bullshit with a veneer of eloquency spouted at us.
I still can’t believe their drummer is a MAGA-idiot. I guess his drum set must have drowned out any of Tankian’s or Malakian’s vocals.
There are some surprisingly decent instant coffees out there nowadays; a fancy third-wave roaster in my city even does instant now.
What’s your go-to brew method for camping? I find the Aeropress tough to beat.
Although my favourite camping coffee memories are with my parents’ beat-up old moka pot and pre-ground beans from the grocery store. I love me a good cup of coffee, but sometimes the best cup isn’t about the beans or the brew. It’s about the time, space, and people you share it with. Some of my all-time favourite cups of coffee came out of that piece of crap moka pot.
Seriously, “most modern songs”? In the era with the most new music being produced in a massive number of different genres and styles that would have been unimaginable just a generation ago?
I like the oldies as much as anyone else, heck I only really got into listening to music after discovering The Beatles and '70s prog rock as a teen. But if you can’t find good music being produced in 2025, that’s not a problem with the music industry, that’s a problem with you.
If anyone reading this struggles to find new artists they like, I recommend checking out NPR’s Tiny Desk concerts as well as KEXP’s live performances on YouTube. I’ve found a lot of artists I love from these sources.
You’re mistakenly assuming the attributes are binary, stuff like screen resolution, regions, languages all have many possible values to help narrow down and identify you. It really doesn’t take that many for you to be identifiable.
You don’t need 5 posts a day for a community to survive here. There’s not that many people on Lemmy, things are a bit slower paced.
I mod !bicycles@lemmy.ca and we’d be lucky to have one post per day, yet I think it’s still a relatively healthy community, with a decent amount of engagement on most posts.
I used to be pretty active in my city and province’s subreddits, and while there were occasional assholes everyone was mostly reasonable.
I went and checked my city’s subreddit the other day and it has gotten substantially worse since I’ve left Reddit two years ago. It’s all people posting the same trashy racist rhetoric about immigrants. We used to post screenshots of those same takes from the local FB groups to make fun of those idiots, now the subreddit is those idiots.
Your comments would have been fine in answer to someone seeking support for porn addiction/dependency, but it’s completely irrelevant in a tech community on a post about people circumventing silly restrictions.
You clearly came into the thread with a specific agenda which was irrelevant to the thread’s topic, and spammed the same comment in multiple replies. What did you expect? I don’t even entirely disagree with your opinions about pornography but do you seriously think this was the best way to communicate your point?
I think context matters. My queer friends and I will call each other the f-slur, but I wouldn’t use it at a family supper, for example. Likewise, I think the tone is different using “gay” in a queer meme community versus in a serious discussion on a news community.
“That’s how they do it on 4chan” is probably one of the worst possible justifications for one’s behaviour.
I wasn’t talking about people on group rides, I’m talking about people using bikes as a means of transportation. I agree that people in group rides can sometimes be bothersome road users.
Red lights and stop signs are designed for cars and it’s honestly stupid to expect cyclists to treat them the same way. Studies have shown that treating stops as yields when on a bike is safer for all road users.
You should know that it doesn’t take “motor vehicle speeds” to cause a (serious) accident.
That’s not what I said. I was pointing out how your “swerve into a post because a cyclist ran a red light” is a dangerous situation made possible only by the presence of cars.
Cyclists on the whole break traffic laws a lot less than motorists.
Also, I love how your only example of “the dangers of cyclists” involves someone in a car having to react to a cyclist. If everyone is cycling, speeds are low enough to react and typically avoid collisions even if a potential conflict arises. The “forces someone to swerve” phenomenon mostly happens at the speed of motor vehicles.
Bicycle insurance and plates? Why? That makes zero sense. We have these for cars because cars are dangerous, not just for funsies. Bicycles don’t pose the same danger.
Walking… if you have time and physical ability, but who cares about that, right? It’s so cool and eco-friendly to say “just walk 20 minutes”.
Yeah it is cool and eco-friendly to walk 20 minutes (assuming one is able-bodied, as you mention.)
“Gay student allowed to graduate” being news in 2025 is really good and fun and fine.
Stay safe, American queers (and PoC, and women, and honestly at this point everyone in the US… maybe except Trump supporters.)
More trains, trams, bicycle and/or e-scooter rentals, walking (a mile is what, 20 minutes walk at most?)
Only one to put out a great solo record after.
This is Ram erasure!
I love how all of this was just to avoid asking a family member “hey can I change some settings on your router to fix the Wi-Fi?”
I mean, I get it. More often than not you’ll either become the de facto tech support or they’ll find a way to blame you the next time something doesn’t work.
