Does anyone else notice an uptick of extreme troll accounts?

  • It's not a "QAnon-esque conspiracy theory". Russia's online influence in American politics has been fairly well documented. That being said, I think it's somewhat unhealthy to assume everyone who says something controversial is dishonest or a troll. Not good for discourse.

  • Although in this case Nvidia's ray-tracing does actually utilize AI. Both for image upscaling as well as (iirc) optimizing the number of rays needed to be cast for a mostly accurate image.

    • Earth has a cold

  • I think it's more indicative of how absurd 60° celsius is that it seems like it must be Fahrenheit.

  • This announcement doesn't have anything to do with cryptocurrencies or nfts. I'm not sure if I like the idea yet either, but please don't conflate it with all that other scammy nonsense.

    • The United Nations just voted 145-7 in favor of a resolution condemning illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine & Syria.

  • "authoritarianism isn't real" is the funniest take I've heard this year. I suggest you take a break from the internet.

  • This seems pretty clearly AI-written. Which I suppose isn't inherently an issue except that this takes a single thought ("AUR has more packages than NixOS") and stretches it out to multiple paragraphs without adding any additional value. Why do this? A lemmy post doesn't need to look like a blog post from some tech company. Just state your thought or ask a question and post it. This format does nothing but waste the time of readers.

    • My friends don’t get it rule

  • kinda, the "were" actually comes from old Germanic "wer", meaning "man". Werewolf just means "man wolf" lol. So I suppose a warehouse could be a human who turns into a house at full moon

    • The only way to avoid Grammarly using your data for AI is to pay for 500 accounts

    Jump

  • it is, actually; your argument is a whataboutism, which is logically fallacious

    • What is your favorite operating system and what do you like about it?

    Jump

  • As a user of the GNU Guix operating system, and a big fan of the GNU Emacs editor...

    yeah, you're completely right. Linux is a perfectly apt name.

    • Why everyone is switching to NixOS ?

    Jump

  • yeah, Guix is great. I tried to use NixOS for a while but I couldn't get over how much I dislike Nix as a language. Scheme is way way better imo. Guix definitely isn't as polished Nix given its lower number of users but it's still a very pleasant experience.

    • somebody reuploaded newpipe and rebranded it to be "itube"

    Jump

  • That's annoying. But either way it will get removed soon. Youtube clients aren't allowed on the play store.

    • Are there any TikTok Front-ends on Android?

    Jump

  • Though I am with you in hating Western Big Tech apologia, I don't agree with this point overall. Even the sources you linked show that TikTok collects an ungodly amount of data on its users. The Clario study shows that it's in 6th place... is being lower than Facebook and Instagram supposed to be an accomplishment? And it's much higher than Twitter and Zoom, which is definitely not a good thing.
