That's how I feel. It's a shit car. Is Danny going to be able to do better? Alpha Tauri hasn't exactly been topping the rankings, and seems to have gotten worse of late. It feels like they're being a bit too cutthroat on with this decision.

I don't think it's wrong to recreate a beloved community, and I think it makes sense to also populate it with content. I just think that posting a copy of Reddit is a problem, and automated posts too often are also not good. At that point you're trying to force the community into existence rather than having it be organic. I think it's okay to boost the community a bit, but not to try to make Lemmy the new Reddit.

I will say that Lemmy in general seems very Reddit-like, which is what causes people to try to make Lemmy the new Reddit, so I'm not surprised that people are just trying to migrate subreddits to communities here. I think Lemmy needs a bit more of an identity to avoid that.

From the article I had read in Perplexity, it was all built around OpenAI, so I'd assume the regular search is GPT-3 or GPT-3.5, and copilot is GPT-4.

Perplexity uses ChatGPT, but I trust it a bit more because it cites its sources. So I'd say it counts since the model is GPT-3 and GPT-4.

Yeah. Lots of communities seemed to have NSFW vs NSFL to distinguish porn from gore, respectively. I agree with that distinction.

My godmother's oldest daughter had a very specific idea of what her wedding needed to be, and what it needed to cost (obviously, a lot). But she was also cheap. So I go for the tux fitting because she decided I'm going to be in the groom's wedding party. The tux felt like it was made of cardboard, the pink pocket square and tie looked like a pretty pink that had been sun faded and looked TERRIBLE. The shoes were ugly and uncomfortable. His kids are also part of both wedding parties. His kids were little monsters, and she decided that the wedding parties were going to do a choreographed number courtesy of his oldest daughter.

If you want dancers, pay for dancers. Instead, she lost her shit because we "didn't put enough effort in" to the half-assed, last minute dance. The food was meh, the ceremony was far too long and stodgy, and the bride and groom didn't spend any time with anyone (thank god). They were divorced within two years. It went about as I expected.

On the other hand, my stepsister's wedding was held outdoors in the summer heat. They had a gorgeous, 15 minute ceremony done by one of their friends who was witty and funny. After that, we all went inside out of the heat into the air conditioned hall and everyone hung out and had a great time. The couple mingled with everyone despite being very in demand. None of it looked expensive, but was all tasteful. The food was good and the DJ was awesome. They are, unfortunately, also divorced, but lasted much longer because they knew what they wanted, didn't have pretense, and knew each other well.

I've also been curious about it. Enjoying Lemmy and Kbin, but wouldn't mind the ability to interact on Tildes, if somebody has an invite.

That's a known bug in Jerboa. It's already been reported and the dev acknowledged it.

The best way is to use relative links, such as !technology@beehaw.org

What I did there was simply [!technology@beehaw.org](/c/technology@beehaw.org). This link doesn't start with the protocol and site, but instead assumes the current site, and starts with /c/my_comunity@my_site.tld, meaning it will be routed to the same instance.

This will probably not work for those on Kbin, since their communities (magazines) don't start with /c/, but rather with /m/. If anyone knows a good way for this to work for both, I'd be glad to adopt that myself going forward.

That's because they don't exist. It's only a concept rendering. This site spotlights design ideas and their creators, not actual products.

That sounds like an annoying bug. Hopefully since it's well understood what exactly flipped in the database and how to fix the problem once it happens, the code fix won't take long.

Did they select a language? Mine did the same thing on various instances. I tried a few things at the same time, so I don't know what finally let me register, but I learned a few things in the process.

For example, the most likely explanation is that the username is already taken. The back end fails silently when that happens, and there's already a bug open in GitHub. I figured I'd try a shorter password and selecting a language, and that worked.

Hopefully that helps your friends.
