How you doin? Still got the dot?

Is it orangey yellow? I bet it's orangey yellow.

Finally, I know who to complain to.

When are the bidet advocates gonna show up? This post has been up for like an hour!

EDIT: the bidet people have arrived. Thank goodness. I was starting to worry that my instance had been defederated.

Hanlon's Razor is all well and good as a heuristic, but tends to lead to people discounting malice much too often.

There's definitely scenarios where that is the case.

Also, I really didn't say we were "under attack"

I would describe a massive influx of spambots as an attack on a social media platform. It's my characterization. I didn't mean to imply that you said it.

Agreed.

Lemmy is a federated system and these stats are self-reported by user maintained systems. Rather than a sudden influx of users (bots or otherwise), a misconfigured system or hiccup in stats collection seems more likely.

Generally, Hanlon's Razor, add applied to computing: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity user error.

There's a lot of malicious systems out there, but there is little corroborating evidence indicating that we're under attack.

u r g*d

I've got a lot of unassigned schadenfreude I could put to this.

I think that might be hyperbole.

From what I've seen, existing watch features remain, but new coaching features may be AI enabled (and paywalled).

I don't like add-on coaching services whether they're offered by Fitbit or Garmin, so it isn't really relevant to me. For folks who bought the watch for the device, rather than add-on services, I don't believe this is relevant. For people who bought the device for coaching services, I guess they're angry there's a new tier?

Lemmy has no chill

If the most creative thing they can think of to answer that question is "Money" then their critical thinking skills are pretty much zero,

Yes. If the candidate thinks acting out a post they saw on Reddit adds something to the interview, they're probably gonna make poor choices as an employee.

Preach. Thanks for the kind words.

You're getting downvotes, but I get the vibe that most of the c/android users either use Graphene or aspire to. So you're not wrong.

(I'm in the aspire camp)

I feel like disposable cups, flimsy disposable plates, and crappy plastic utensils are the opposite of luxury. They remind you that you're eating food made on an assembly line at the lowest possible cost. But maybe that's just my point of view.

You need to talk to your players about this. Explain the kind of stuff that can happen in Paranoia, and ask them if they're down for those shenanigans. Ask them what kind of stuff they don't want to do - maybe someone really hates paperwork, so that would ruin their fun, but they're cool with everything else.

This kind of pre-game agreement is called Session Zero. Searching for it should give you some ideas on how to prepare for it.
