Obviously a good thing to keep the “allegedly”, but that statement doesn’t refute what the other person claimed. They said Meta hired them, not Meta put them in the Threads team.
Also I obviously don’t know how Meta is structured, but where I’m at, it wouldn’t be unusual for someone not part of a team to still talk to members of a team, give advice, etc.
That’s gotta be it. You can tell images to be displayed rotated instead of actually rotating them through metadata (EXIF flags). That’s for example also how Windows does (or at least did) rotate images when you clicked on the 90° rotation button.
I remember having issues with this before when later loading those images through some code.
In addition to what the other user said: some subs were hiding the downvote buttons through their custom subreddit styles. You’d only see this if you used old.reddit though and if you disabled the css (or used an app like RiF) you could downvote as normal.
Maybe that’s where your confusion started.
I’m not really a believer of the whole simulated universe theory, but I find your arguments against it weak.
You’re basing what is and isn’t easily calculatable off of our experiences. Same with “complexities of the universes”. However, if our world is indeed simulated, there’s no telling what the host universe is like. It might have crazy different math and be far far more complex than ours. Us trying to understand it would essentially be an excercise in futility.
There’s a new one on feddit.ch
!buenzli@feddit.ch should get you there in your own instance if your instance already knows it.
After a quick Google search I learned that the answer is “kinda”.
Just like us they do produces gases as part of their metabolism. That gas has to go somewhere. Some of it is absorbed into their hemolyph (blood) and expelled into the air through openings in their exoskeleton. But it’s very unlikely that none of that gas exits through their anus.
Also, people have spotted “bubbles” on insects trapped in amber right where their anus is, it’s likely that those are encased fart-bubbles.
But by donating you’d increase the supply and they’d make less money, so that doesn’t quite check out.
There’s a third option of self hosting an instance for yourself. I understand that’s not an option for everyone, but it would solve your issues too.
Or just play some games on your laptop.
With the Lemmy Koopa being named after the Motörhead singer, that makes him 2/4 on the listed reasons.
Do we have a AI with a theory of mind or just a AI that answers the questions in the test correctly?
Now whether or not there is a difference between those two things is more of a philosophical debate. But assuming there is a difference, I would argue it’s the latter. It has likely seen many similar examples during training (the prompts are in the article you linked, it’s not unlikely to have similar texts in a web-scraped training set) and even if not, it’s not that difficult to extrapolate those answers from the many texts it must’ve read where a character was surprised at an item missing that that character didn’t see being stolen.
Would moving closer to your workplace be an option? You said the pay is good and you like working there.
You could save up to 3 hours every non-homeoffice work day.
Also from I personally experienced and what others said too, it seems to be purely visual and those communities still show up in your subscribed feed as if it went through normally.
I wanna add to this that “all” isn’t really from all Lemmy instances, but instead only from communities your instance knows about.
I’m not sure if anyone on your instance has to be subbed to that community or if it’s enough if that instance was searched for once on your instance.
When moving to another mail provider, I can forward mails going to the old address to the new one.
You’re assuming that the reason for the move is not the old mail provider shutting down. If the old provider shuts down and you cannot somehow get their domain name, all mails sent to your old address will just vanish in the void (or even worse, be gobbled up by whoever owns the domain now, better hope there’s no personal info in there that you wouldn’t want in their hands).
Tbf, if they lie to their people about the “special military operation” being a success and fuck off out of Ukraine, that would already be a massive improvement over the status quo.
I think what will happen is that a lot of the subs are eventually going to end up in the hands of the few mods who love sucking up to the admins and the mods who are in it for the dopamine they gain power-tripping instead of the mods who are in it to make the subreddit the best version of itself.
This will only further the “5 Mods Control 92 Of The Top 500 Subs” issue and lead to overall less happy, less engaged users.
That is only a good point until you remind them that the government/corporations aren’t just entities but also consist of people, any of which could end up being their neighbor tomorrow, hold their next job interview, be their next potential tinder match, etc.
Of course the rest of what you wrote is true too, but I really felt the need to point this out.
To give an example: I’m in data science. As part of a contract work I had access to a csv dump of a database of addresses of all people who ordered campaign material for a specific political campaign. I could have easily sated my own curiosity and checked who in my near vacinity is in that list, as well as the exact amounts that they ordered and some other notes about them. Suddenly it wouldn’t just be some corporation anymore but their neighbor.
