How can we make lemmy have more relevance?
  • This really feels like Reddit in the first couple years. It went to shit so gradually I didn't even notice although I can remember big events. I remember when "downvote ≠ disagree" and the place felt nicer.

    Yeah nowadays Reddit has not just every sub, but every meme version of a sub, and that's neat, but at what cost? I don't like being on it, and I've been um, banned an awful lot of times lately. Not really worth it. So I will have to try to build the top few communities I am missing here, like centuryhomes.

  • Unfortunately happens too often I think
  • Yep my dog needs 1+ mile in the morning and at least 2 miles in the afternoon for optimal health - bowels, muscles, etc. He's 7 now and acts like a dog half his age.

    Then some of my friends are like "I try to take mine around the block at least once a week" and I am sad for their poor dog.

    Hard to find good dogsitters who will actually take them on long walks too.

  • In Trump-voting Iowa, farmers have started to shout at each other
  • Iowa was improving in the 90s, improving in the 2000s. They were blue then.

    Now I hate going back, it's not the same state I grew up in. Abortion billboards and porn stores, same as the bible belt now.

    The state is not improving but they don't care anymore, long as the right people (like me) get hurt.

  • Prompt engineer : The Hottest AI Job of 2023 Is Already Obsolete
  • The gap between expected behavior and behavior is narrowing each iteration, plus people are starting to understand the limitations a bit better. The things AI does well you're talking about are being parceled off as AI Agents for monetization and don't require additional staff to oversee, they're turnkey solutions.

    The headline here is that AI is costing us jobs but not replacing them. And if you're concerned that AI is a bubble, imagine what that'll mean when it blows and these companies start faltering and being purchased. This is all mindless disruption with no foresight.

  • More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says
  • I have friends that talk about getting food delivered nearly daily, plus groceries and whatnot. I am so frugal it makes my asshole pucker to think about delivery fees PLUS them getting your order wrong so often PLUS the food is cold and takes way longer than simply driving there. And then in addition, we actually need the human contact. But I'm not gonna criticize my friends to their faces. Just here.

  • Ultra-processed food increases risk of early death, international study finds
  • Slicing them to vastly multiply their surface area so that more Maillard reaction can occur, and it's that Maillard reaction that causes the yummy browning, and causes the proteins and starches to change and become potentially harmful/carcinogenic, plus yes the addition of fatty oil that wasn't present at all.

    A lot of us think of "processing" as like, something a food processor does - reducing and changing the form. But it's also the chemical changes that occur during cooking as a result of the physical processes. When you look at the before/after of a potato and an equal volume of fries, it's apparent you've drastically changed the base food.
