  I think OP is talking about active users that engage and comment, not about the ones just lurking.

• ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  But it is still the the way to get a community started nonetheless.

  If even the creator of the community doesn’t post anything people don’t even gain the interest in the first place that they might (or ideally might not…) lose later on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Analysis: EVs are now nine times cheaper than petrol or diesel to drive in UK⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It will still be more than my overnight domestic rate though (7p/kwH).

  Now I am jealous. This would be just 8 Euro ct/kWh…
  Typical average price for household electricity is around 30ct/kWh in Germany, lowest maybe 25ct/kWh.
  I guess you have one of the dynamic rates (those are not very common in Germany)? Does the price fluctuate a lot during the day?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Analysis: EVs are now nine times cheaper than petrol or diesel to drive in UK⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the detailed explanation!

  I guess the caps are only relevant for the normal household-electricity, not for public charging stations?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Analysis: EVs are now nine times cheaper than petrol or diesel to drive in UK⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the “domestic price cap” mentioned in the article?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Asking questions on how to access an AI image slop generator might be considered ragebait on Lemmy ;-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This heatwave is so bad I think I drank enough water to put 3 data centers out of commission 🥵⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, temperatures around 30° and even significantly above and that during the first half of September.
  Ouch. I feel with you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This heatwave is so bad I think I drank enough water to put 3 data centers out of commission 🥵⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Where do you live?
  I assumed summer to be basically over on the northern hemisphere and not yet quite started on the southern one, so interesting to see where a heatwave is still/already present at end of September.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well OK then⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds a bit like for a fatal infinite loop scenario…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still see a bunch of possible additional steps before the mandatory “Does it run Doom?” finally deep down at the bottom…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jimmy Neutron confirmed Chad?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And, from the “size really doesn’t matter that much” faction, the neutrino just arrived…

  Please tell me this is AI…!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what dark comedy you are consuming, but the type of dark humour I am accustomed to does the exact opposite of what you describe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube won't let me search for music by musician unless I remove the word "naked" from her name⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, I see, didn’t notice the “login” on the screenshot before.
  But then it kinda makes sense that the the most restrictive default filters are active.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube won't let me search for music by musician unless I remove the word "naked" from her name⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Works for me…

  Anything special about your account?
  Family Link restriction or so?

  I also haven’t seen a “confirm your age” message up to now.
  Maybe a country-specific restriction?
  Where are you from?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 760 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks sick!

  My setup might just be able to handle it, I think.
  But on the other hand, my backlog is full and I even have the first Alan Wake still left to play :-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subtitles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The audience is not supposed to know what’s being said.

  Well, translating from languages that are more relaxed regarding swear words might have an impact on the PG rating in the US, so you might be right, but for the wrong reasons :-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games did you sleep on for too long?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I already know of it and had it installed when getting into the game in the first place. Turned out, that even the base game with the expansions is so huge, I haven’t even finished the main quest yet :-)

  But I am looking forward to setting up the latest release of TR when I am finished with the main game and start over again on the mainland!
  I read that it is designed to be best played from the ground up with a new character, my by now completely overskilled mage might be a bit to powerful ;-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games did you sleep on for too long?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  RPGs.

  I had my first encounters during the late nineties (still the old 2D/2.5D ones), got confused and overwhelmed, so didn’t consider them to be my thing.

  Briefly tried out Gothic during the mid 00s, and instantly getting killed by some big wolf or bird without having the slightest idea what was going on or what I was supposed to do didn’t help.

  Fast forward 20 years to the early 2020s when I started gaming again after a 15 year pause, see everyone praising Elder Scrolls, grab Oblivion as it was on sale at GOG: Completely blown away and probably hooked for life.

  Currently playing Morrowind, which will last me a while still, but I am excited to revisit tons of old and newer RPG games that turned out to be exactly my thing after gaining some experience and finally understanding how to play them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In what medium be it print music movies or other was the first villain monologue delivered? What was it about?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cave fire speech is not a medium in the strict sense, though.
  That means at least writing would have to have been available.
  Gilgamesh epic might be a good candidate, I think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨could I get an AI to just rewrite any software I want thereby not having to purchase the desired app?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  in industry

  I think, that is the important point here.
  A private person letting Claude Code generate a spreadsheet behaving like Excel that they then uses to categorize their tea bag collection, is as far from any “industry” as possible.

  But even if a Company is doing it… Say, they wrote their own chat app that behaves like MS Teams and use it internally… What are the potential allegations Microsoft could raise?

  (One additional info: I’m an European, while your use of the legal term “fair use” tells me that you are likely from the US - in Europe there is no way to patent “business processes” like the behaviour of an interface…)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨could I get an AI to just rewrite any software I want thereby not having to purchase the desired app?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is like me taking your bike, and using it for my own transportation

  No, OPs example is not.
  Rather it’s like you having seen me riding a bike and based on that building a two-wheeled device behaving in a similar way for yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨could I get an AI to just rewrite any software I want thereby not having to purchase the desired app?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But that would only be a problem if OP wanted to sell the result.
  Only using the stuff himself, as he stated, should be totally fine.
  And the point is exactly, that doesn’t steal (at least if you for a moment don’t regard based on what LLMs are trained…), but use something different instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is the romantic period due, in any part, to the high alcohol content of their food ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Let me introduce you to the healthy medieval childrens breakfast, consisting of old bread dipped in beer soup served with generous amounts of diluted beer!

  Apart from that, the Romantic era started around 1800, though…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are the SMS limits orders of magnitude smaller than data limits bandwidth-wise?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that makes some sense then!
  I remember SMS still being a hot topic in the US from the (for me as an outsider) amusing blue(?) and green(?) text message bubble discussions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are the SMS limits orders of magnitude smaller than data limits bandwidth-wise?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not in the US either…

  “US defaultism refers to the tendency for people, particularly those in the United States, to assume that the US is the default or only relevant context when discussing various topics.”

  …and so the circle is closed! ;-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is the romantic period due, in any part, to the high alcohol content of their food ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not aware of especially high alcohol content during that period.
  Apart from that, the Romanticists I know of were much to earnest and somewhat boring to likely be under heavy influence of intoxicating substances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are the SMS limits orders of magnitude smaller than data limits bandwidth-wise?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  @davidgro@lemmy.world pointed out to you that OP might not be an US citizen, so suspected you to be one, ignorant of the fact that other people outside the US exist.

  And you then replying to that with the US defaultism quote is funny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are the SMS limits orders of magnitude smaller than data limits bandwidth-wise?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Whenever SMS comes up on the Internet usual people mention it being a US thing almost exclusively. You are sure? Never experienced it that way.
  After all, SMS is originally an European cellular standard and has been huge thing there for decades.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are the SMS limits orders of magnitude smaller than data limits bandwidth-wise?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Funnily enough @davidgro@lemmy.world suspected you of having been displaying US defaultism ;-)
