back when i was still a teenager, ww did battle ourselfes who typed faster even without a keyboard lol. We just typed on a table or something just based on our finger memory of where which key is normally on a keyboard. This days i often type on my smartphone, but you can’t rly type a lot or fast on phones so i still prefer normal computer typing for most things. But people who just chat and don’t code or similar…yeah, they probably are mostly only using their phone. my sister as an example hasn’t used her laptop for nore than 4 years, probably more… and just does everything on her phone.

can you image what the internet would do then? It would end similar to microsofts twitter AI who did learn to be racist by the internet and to swear and stuff.

no it doesn’t. i tried to achieve this multiple times myself and it never worked. and the cases where journalists say it did, they needed to specific ask a lot of times and in a highly specific way till they got a short snippet. Chatgpt dont spits out the exact same phrases over and over again if you ask the same, but has a variable defining how “random” and “far away from the perfect next predicted text” the output is, and by default this makes sure that the answers are never the same. Otherwise it wouldn’t be chat like but more like a simple database spitting out always the same answers for the same question. But that’s not how chatgpt works.

same bs with apps not running jidt because root or apps not being visible in playstore because of it. Netflix isn’t even showing up as existing in playstore just because i have root. it’s nuts. and there are tons of apps like this.

50k users and still every day when you open lemmy you see stone old posts or just copy pasted posts from reddit. 50k users mean nothing if most of them isn’t contributing anything (copy pasting content of reddit don’t counts).

Lemmy don’t even works on older browsers, and till isn’t fixed i doubt it will take off. A lot of users still user older browsers and won’t update just for lemmy. I know it sounds insane but disabling auto updates has become a need this days, specially with browsers (see what google does with chrome or firefox with their shitty forced changes you can’t disable or switch off and random settings not working anymore in about config). Instead of supporting as much devices and clients as possible, lemmy is ignoring those and then wonders why nobody much uses lemmy. There isn’t even rly a good portion of working apps who don’t kill themself every few weeks or months because there was another lemmy server update which killed apps. It’s just frustrating trying to use lemmy, so i as an example stopped using it actively because of all the technical issues related to it.

We often yell at reddit about what they do, but look at what lemmy does. We can’t even get the basic functionality working without it breaking every few day or weeks for another new reason. Why ANYBODY of the not tech related people ever would want to bear this stress? Most of non tech people can’t even install a driver for a printer and we expect that they use lemmy with all it’s flaws? come on.

this isn’t working since YouTube inserts the ads at random at random location in videos. so each user gets ads on different videos and locations in the video.
sponsorblock works specially because the locations in the video stay the same. But with this random inserts by youtube this also can break sponsorblock since now the locations of sponsorblock segments change too if ads are inserted.

how would they scan the inside of a password protected zip archive? the whole purpose of the password is that nobody can open it without the pw. you can may look at the zip archive self and check the checksum or maybe filenames, but not open and extract the files to check them (images etc). specially not if you maybe even use rar archives who are even more secure and you can protect even filename lists etc.

except if you put it in a password encrypted archive beforehand. because then nobody has access to it.

why? because you don’t want to see certain things in your feed. people come hwre for various things. some people come here to mentally relax, so they don’t want to hear about negative topics like wars or people Fighting all the time. other people just are not interested in certain topics or posts but have them flood their feed.

example: i come here for relaxing mentally and to see posts about topics I’m interested in. so I don’t want to see negative stuff like causalities in wars, hearing people complain what bad things they experienced this day, what stuff has gone wrong in their life and other negative stuff. another example is lemmynsfw where I don’t want to see males showing their genitals to me since I’m interested in women, not guys. so i block communitys who are about such things.

short: because people don’t want ro see certain stuff. that’s why there is a block function. lemmy without a block function wouldn’t be useable since you get flooded with tons of posts you aren’t interested in by default without any blocks.

for most parts of old lemmy.world, it does. it’s the only way for me of using lemmy on my normal browser. before that i used the portable version of firefox.

in Germany it would count as theft and destroying of property of others even if it’s abandoned.

also the apps often have a lot of bugs or issues in general. i would love to use lemmy more, but Liftoff can’t even sort my profile comments by new. i click on it… nothing happens. and if i just quickly switch to another app (clicking a link that opens the browser etc), and come back… everything is reset and i have to search the post i was again etc.

because such things i don’t use lemmy as often i would like…another issue is that lemmy isn’t supported on older browsers and the devs just tell you to update or get another one… yeaahh nah thanks. not gonna switch or destroy my browser (newer browser versions are often shitty… just look at chrome who nags you all the time) just because of lemmy. so… i wait for this issues to be fixed to then be able to use it more. before this happens, the user experience is just too frustrating.

thanks anyway! have a nice evening :)

would be still lemmy.world since I don’t really post in communitys outside lemmy.world much. 80-90%of the stuff i comment is in communitys on lemmy.world since i usually sort by local. i use accounts like a filter… nsfw stuff only on lemmynsfw, lemmy.ml is my backup if lemmy.world bugs again and lemmy.world my main account and place for all other things.

i’m 95% only using this instance here (lemmy.world), so i would say its mainly the lemmy.world instance. i only have 2 other accounts on lemmy.ml and lemmynsfw, but i don’t really use them to comment or post much.

well, what makes it hard to debug this is that it only happens from time to time random. most of the time it works. so to debug it i would have to each time check the debug console before sending a comment to catch it maybe sometime.

i didn’t really wanted to start with MITM’s just to debug this lol. hoped that other users maybe have the same issues and its maybe a current bug or glitch on lemmy.

but hey, thanks for the help anyway! :)

it’s not an app i using, i just did send a few minutes ago with firefox a longer comment and boom, gone.

webconsole shows nothing like errors or similiar that would hint at something going wrong. thats the weird part about this.
