Having been to both, I can assure you the rides at Cedar Point are much, much better. Disney World is a theme park with a full experience, such as themed attractions and cosplayers. It’s great for young kids.

Cedar Point has the awesome coasters that thrill -seeking adults will want. It’s more like Universal Studios or Six Flags

While being decentralized certainly creates a barrier, most of the details behind PageRank (and the other algorithms in use by Google) are pretty well documented. If it doesn’t already, throwing in Lemmy as a keyword should soon bring up a Lemmy intense (probably Lemmy.ml or Lemmy.World) as a top result. As people click those links, the results will go higher.

The bigger challenge is that the content you are trying to find isn’t here yet. Those results on the old site were built over years of massive user engagement. Lemmy has barely had a month since people started joining en masse, and it’s still a fraction of what we lost.

TL;DR: Just keep using it and spread the word. The rest will happen naturally

Look at all of the related “risks” and add them up. I’m sure that drowning is a small number, but then add in all of the deaths from scalding, acid rain, poisons (that contain water), etc etc and it eventually gets to be a very big number. Probably in the millions

That’s not entirely true- you can upload your own, but you can only seed to users that do have port forwarding. On many trackers, that initial seed is all going to seed boxes with an autograb script enabled anyway, and those do have port forwarding.

This isn’t just a matter of law, but of technology. Part of the point of these large language models is the massive corpus of raw data. It’s not supposed to mimic a specific person or work, but rather imitate ALL of them. Ideally, you wouldn’t even be able to pinpoint anyone or anything in particular.

(If you’re asking about a different type of AI, then disregard)

True, but getting quiet puts a point on exactly how personal their question was.

Another good one is to horrify them- get quiet and uncomfortable, and say something about how the doctors think you’re infertile.

Assuming these are people you just met, of course.

Hmm…It’s a bit too real. I was hoping for more of an “Explain Like I’m Calvin” answer

I like it. Can we get one for Tim Apple? Or Mark Faceberg?

I foresee a whole new wave of shitposts from this.

Reddit isn’t just trying to balance the budget - they are specifically scrambling to make things work (or at least, look like they will work) for an IPO, which is a beast in and of itself.

I don’t use callbacks, and I don’t leave messages, because no company has ever actually called me back. It’s a great idea, but IME they never execute it.

There’s a wide spectrum of responses people can have to a breakup. Anger to the point of violence is naturally low in most modern societies, but it does exist.

When you have that breakup moment in person, you force a lot of emotions to flood them all at once. Often, they thought things were going well. This creates a strong sense of rejection, hurts their self-esteem, and puts them immediately on the defensive. It can also trigger a fight-or-flight response, and manifest as anger.

Ghosting flattens the curve. Over the course of days or weeks, the ghostee more gradually recognizes and comes to terms with the fact that the ghoster is no longer interested in them. This often happens without there being a flashpoint moment to set them off.

It’s still rude, but I absolutely see the value in it

Face to face is not only unnecessary, but often counter-productive. You aren’t likely to just already be at the same place, so one or both of you must travel to the agreed upon meeting place, just to deliver the bad news. It also often forces an unwanted and pointless conversation, and draws out what may be a painful subject for both people. And this assumes that it goes well- others have mentioned the risk of violence, extreme emotional distress, etc.

I (generally) oppose ghosting, but it can be done remotely.

To expand on this, it’s not just capitalism - it’s greed.

Not OP, but my communities are homed on a number of different instances. At minimum, I need to be able to interact with them, both reading and widely distributing my posts/comments. Preferably all on the same account, but that’s gotten more difficult lately.

For any communities I may create, I generally want to ensure that they can be accessed widely, by most users in the fediverse.

All of this preferably without having to deal with tankies, Nazis, etc.
