Tools like this also do not work with multiple screens.

Set up a solo meeting with yourself. During meeting it doesn’t change the status at all, so after you join that solo meeting in the morning set yourself to available and you will be available whole day.
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 1 day ago:
He will be the most hated american president SO FAR. I believe in americans, they can do worse.
- Comment on well? did it? 3 days ago:
Yes in my case.
Progress on my app next update. Progress on my first game. Some good music and videos about how deep in shit are americans, which make me appreciate my country more.

Horses are amazing eco-friendly solution to most small-scale labor and transportation needs. However, they are also very easy to force out. All you need to do is pay a bunch of dumb animal-protection nuts to constantly protest their use. This is how electric cars operate in my country - by sending horses from work to meat processing.

You people are missing out sooo much!

Lemmy is pretty much composed of people who were banned on reddit.
They could have been banned for disagreeing with dickish mod… or for being asshole themselves.

Dead horse best horse. Have you tried their meat? Delicious! I don’t get why we waste it for entertainment.
Luckily in my country there are people who regularly harass entertainment stables until they get closed and horses get sold to butcher.

It’s literally middle fingers.

I thought Lemmy is just a knock-off Reddit, though… if there is really any difference between the two (especially in terms of user culture) I have yet to find it.

Okay, this is a high quality shit-post.
- Comment on America continues to fall behind the rest of the world 1 week ago:
And americans will tell you it’s because they are better or different.
- Comment on Yes, yes they are 1 week ago:
Quick to get defensive, eh?
- Comment on time to eat 1 week ago:
Yes. There is even a very short psychology guide:
- Angry at everyone - needs food
- Everyone angry at you - needs sleep
- You angry at yourself - needs shower
Generally emotions are partially chemical and if your body doesn’t get basic needs satisfied, it will cause you to feel negative emotions.
- Comment on Yes, yes they are 1 week ago:
There is no ideology that cannot be ridiculed, no ideology where you cannot find retarded logic. And people who notice those problems in their own ideology usually just double down, get radical, angry and defensive.

VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action
A light-novel game set in cyberpunk dystopia not unlike modern americas. You play as bartender serving drinks to people.

Yeah AI-related forums are absolutely apeshit. Online discourse is pretty much either “AGI is here, use AI for everything, no questions asked, no criticism accepted” or “AI is the coming of anti-christ, end to humanity and even looking at AI products should be punishable by death”.
No in-between online.

Hmmm wasn’t there also chinese proverb that said “plan for a year? - rice, plan for ten years? - orchard, plan for 100 years? - education”

I installed both AC and solar panels when heat got too dangerous for my kids.
Yes, many everyday problems can be solved with money, money were literally invented for that exact purpose. Other problems can be solved with time, for example - trees need a fuckton of time to grow, but I still replaced most of the grass in my garden with trees and bushes. I will most likely never rest under their shade in my life, but is that really important to see the benefits fast?

Masters degree in AI here.
Every day I feel like medical specialist during highest anti-vax craze. No matter what I say, no matter what kinda research and articles I cite social media and advertising simply scream louder and more often.

to be fair, when EU adds firewall and blocks all traffic from USA, they will have like 99% less advertisements
- Comment on What do you think about the dead internet theory? 2 weeks ago:
Yes and no. it depends.
Perhaps I’m wasting my time… but whatever.
If we count non-human traffic then automation/bots were always dominant. Servers check each other’s availability all the time. Scrapper bots existed way before dead internet theory and many services online were just a bot polling some servers repeatedly just to show you collected and processed data. Nothing new.
If we count only bots that pretend to be human then this is more of a modern issue. And it’s a source of sudden growth of interest in invigilation among political elites. After all most of internet-based economy is built on assumption that sites can show advertisements to humans. And often are paid per showing. If those views turned out to be just bots, nobody would want to pay for them. That would pretty much be another financial bubble to pop around the internet, maybe even bigger than AI-bubble itself. Of course any legislated methods of verifying if someone is human will be cracked within days and bots will be certified as humans faster than humans themselves. This is what we learned from all anti-piracy tech spending and there is no reason to hope that human-verification will be any better.
In my personal opinion internet was never human-driven. It was always humans surfing on waves of bots working in unison to keep the thing working. It’s the bots that pretend to be humans who are the problem both for people and for companies. And companies will rather push real humans out of internet than reign the bots in.

Imagine finding a log with something like “we couldn’t stop shareholders, our planet is doomed. We will start with a new colony on the planet closer to sun, perhaps this time we will not destroy our home”

- Comment on 🤔 Interesting 2 weeks ago:
current wave of AI isn’t even new technology
We had predictive text. We had neural networks. We had both for more than few decades. Someone just decides “what if predictive text was built on neural network?” and it worked much better than old solution. In fact old solution worked pretty much like one-layer neural network.
TechBros literally took something we already had, made it more expensive and sold it to investors.

To be fair, I never hear about american kids until they get shot, so I dunno what kinda traditions they have.

In medieval times 16 was considered an adult. Can get married, sent to war, still listens to authority and doesn’t know better. Just perfect.
And I guess pedo-states think of anything above 16 as adult
- Comment on Need to yak? Skip emetics, hear about what the world's Most Moral Army's up to 2 weeks ago:
And they know their own citizens will do nothing. Because that’s the norm there
