- Comment on Why don't communities build massive gardens for food? That way it would undercut the price of big retail stores. 20 hours ago:
I believe it’s just ignorance. And understandable also… Today’s people really think food grows in the supermarkets.
And its not their fault, read caves of steel from Isaac Asimov…
I am that old.

Free food? That’s communism! That will cripple a billionaire income!
Jokes apart, have you done gardening at scale? That requires massive labour or very expensive machinery, expertise, and resources like land and water.
At least on the scale to feed a significant number of people.
Your own garden can produce some stuff, but far from what would undercut retail stores business. Unless you scale it, it just stays that way.
Yeah, might be fun and also a good community project, but not more.
- Comment on If Dog's or any animal can catch human diseasies or problems, how come we don't give them flu shots or anything? 3 days ago:
Because they don’t.
Maybe they can be carrier but don’t get sick.
Flu or cold for example…

Stupid people will always take a valid principle and push It too far refusing to see what good can be out there.
AI is a tool and it’s here to stay. The sooner we learn to cope, regulate and use it ethically the better. And shutting down any use of AI is just stupid.

I have four dogs… I know what I am talking about.
Dogs think, of course, but usually get to better and faster conclusions than AI…
That’s why they think less than AI.

Not true. It create independent train of thought. If you use an agent and look it act, that’s exactly what it does.
That’s more thinking than my dogs. Less than a human. And not physiological thinking of course, just a bunch of mathematical processing, but it’s very well capable of performing basic thinking.
It asks questions, provides answers, discusses those answers, drops them, and repeats. Still all mathematical processing indeed with a sparkle of randomness.
But it’s a train of thoughts.

The answer is no. An llm agent can write a post as well as edit it, and it can be done without the Lemmy instance knowledge or capability to detect.
An llm agent uses a browser to act, so it’s much harder than a normal bot to detect. It can also use normal user credentials if those were provided to it, so I can edit my comment: create by human and edit by ai. Also, of course, true the other way around.
- Comment on I’m watching something on tv and a dude strangled another dude with rattle snake. Is that possible? What’s the tensile strength of a snake? 1 week ago:
No idea about tensile strength but… Honestly, I would expect that is not the main issue. Why would a snake be less strong than your arm? You can strangle somebody with your arm.
How thick was the snake anyway?
- Comment on If a community keeps posting post will it show up as more active and thus drawing more users? Even if it's one person who posts a lot? 2 weeks ago:
No. To me, comments and engagement is what keeps me there.
Just a stream of empty posts meh.
- Comment on Why does all AI graphic design have the exact same style? 3 weeks ago:
This. That’s like vibe coding. Vibe arting get you slop as well.
Now, give an AI to a good coder, and you don’t get slop code. Same with artists
Do you still get AI stuff? Yes, but a whole better result.

Advertising. Bot. Whatever. Probably should be deleted.

I think this is more a shower thought than mildly infuriating.
- Comment on Pain of unlocking a bootloader on Xiaomi device (Redmi Note 4) 5 weeks ago:
It’s been a few years now that Xiaomi must be avoided for these reasons. Your are even lucky that your phone can be unlocked at all, since all latest models are not unlockable full stop.
I purchased a Nothing phone and couldn’t be happier. De bloated android stock, and fully offline unlockable bootloader, no phone home required.
- Comment on If dogs have such a great nose, why do they sniff other dogs asses? Wouldn't it smell like shit or not a good smell? 1 month ago:
Good or bad it’s our perception. For them it’s not good or bad, it’s reading a family three and lots of other stuff

Do you have an idea of how many people die with a perfectly fine heart?
Or is this about how fragile technology is compared to biology?

Lemmy.world censor pirate communities. Get an account somewhere nicer and you will find that on lenny there is a pretty active pirate community
- Comment on I either want to learn French or Italian. Which should I learn in your opinion? 1 month ago:
Still 36.7°C I guess…
Anyway, it’s wine not blood! (And I prefer beer, alcoholfree)
- Comment on I either want to learn French or Italian. Which should I learn in your opinion? 1 month ago:
Italian of course!
Why? Because I am Italian
Seriously, french is much more useful. But Italian is much more fun!
- Comment on Olive Branch MS mayor refusing to lower flag for Dolly 1 month ago:
I am not American, and I cannot surely appreciate the importance of a figure like Dolly Parton. For sure I know her name even if do not live in the USA and am no American, so she must have been well known.
Bit the flag at half mast is something that you reserve to high officials and military and other onorific people. If she was such, then all for it. Of she was just a show woman, musician, and maybe also the best ever… Why?

The problem is you cannot unwatch this

It’s fun when things don’t match up…
I love that Iceland and Greenland are kind of… Inverted geographically…
- Comment on Couldn't you use a VPN to bypass VPN blocks? 2 months ago:
Define VPN blocks
At work, our network is severely limited and VPN are just blocked at all, there is no way to get any kind of VPN connection out. Not even wireguard.
- Comment on Is it possible for someone in America to not know who Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi is? 2 months ago:
I live in Italy and didn’t bothered to know who messi was, so I guess yes
- Comment on I hate Android! 2 months ago:
Yes it’s a very stupid memory management meant to improve battery life by killing any app thats been running at all…
Very frustrating and idiot.
Try play any game nowadays… The instant you switch away bam, killed.
It’s baked into android. AOSP I mean, any and all android flavours.
Disabling optimization for battery doesn’t help with any bigger app.
- Comment on Is there a reason why bullets aren't squared? Glock's are squared on the outside but shoot round bullets. Why not square, was it ever tested? Not talking about all guns just usually handhelds. 2 months ago:
Rotation. Bullets spin, it’s for stability and range. Weapons are built to spin the bullet while it exit.
Non round shots would not be able to spin at the same way due to resistance and aerodynamics and will be much less effective.

Why worse? It’s not a better or worse race.
SW Compatibility? Windows wins hands down. Try run decade (even years) old binaries on Linux, good luck.
Security and privacy? Well🤣… Maybe here Linux wins by a small tad /s.
And so on.
Microsoft focus is on different aspects than Linux, like monetization, lock in, business apps like office, store apps, and who knows what other crap. Linux efforts are usually focused on what is actually needed for a better quality of usage.
On the long run Linux is doomed to success, because Microsoft like all companies will die one day. Linux will never die because it cannot be killed …
- Comment on Why are plug sockets region locked? 2 months ago:
There is also a commercial reason. By selling 110v or 220v appliances with different plugs, it used to be difficult or not viable to mass produce stuff on the us to sell over In Europe or vice versa.
Same for pal and NTSC formats. Main reason was producers lock in.
And of course all the other reasons others already mentioned.
- Comment on What is life like living in area's controlled by Drug Cartels? Can a kid out of high school go get a job that is legit? Or are they just like in Chicago with different gangs? 2 months ago:
In my childhood, from 5 to 15, o used to live in one of the most degraded part of my city (1mln people, southern Europe). Drug dealing and sex workers where common and widespread s well as clients. Maybe no actual “cartels” tbh.
Well, the area was very safe and in control, actually the drug dealers kept the situation under control because they didn’t want police to mess around.
Years later the area was cleared out and and started to become the Hotpoint of night life (pubs, cheap alcohol holes and such) and people flocked from every other part of town from 23:00 to 5:00. That’s when it started being unlivable because you would fine your car hit or pissed on, high music and loud voices all night long and drunk people around, broken glasses and bottles in the morning…
So, I missed the dealers. And I moved after a few years of that hell. (The night time life, I mean)
