- Comment on Is "AI" the end of truth? 6 days ago:
It used to be that only the rich and the powerful had access to fake videos. Many people believed in such videos because of that.
Now that fake videos are common, more people become suspicious of the authencity, which might be a good thing.
During the Tibet unrest in 2008, Chinese media produced videos of the "riot" which were obviously CGI. Nobody doubted because it wasn't comon to have fake videos at the time.

We don’t need gen-AI to produce realistic looking videos. We already have the technology for decades, but reality hasn’t collapsed yet. With gen-AI it is just cheaper and quicker to make.

I am not sure if PieFed is in beta, it has been very reliable to me, and now with mobile app support. It is under very active development, we see new features popping up regularly. It already has some unique features not available on lemmy.
Lemmygrad and Hexbear are on the block list of piefed.social, and PieFed handles instance block much better than lemmy. I've added lemmy.ml from my personal block list, and I see absolutely nothing from lemmy.ml users.

Federation works very well on PieFed. Based on the message on your profile, you should consider using software not developed by tankies.

If you are holding it in your hands, phone. If you use a stand, tablet.
There is huge difference in display quality between tablets. Best to see one in person instead of just reading the specs.

Insult. Unless you’re so smart that it is obviously a joke.

- Comment on In languages which use complex written characters (such as Chinese's logographs), is there an equivalent to English's "text speak" shorthand? 1 month ago:
There are different input methods. I use phoenetic one so I only have to type 3 letters and select the character.
There is also "quick" input method which you only need to pay attention to 2 parts of the character when you type, then it gives you a selection of the most likely characters.

Yes. For example in Chinese underground metro is 地下鐵路 roughly “ground under metal road”.
The shorthand is 地鐵, roughly “ground metal”. And everyone understands that as the metro.
