Define “mad”. I’ve watched it (arrr) myself and The Barbie movie is very political, despite them completely hiding it in the trailers and the promotional material.
Fervent political media tends to rile people up, especially when it’s very one-sided. I presume you haven’t seen it and think people are upset over a light hearted comedy.
I remember Reddit was overwhelmingly united behind Depp; I assumed that Heard was in the right.
This is just incredibly intellectually lazy, to put it nicely. I don’t suppose you think climate change is a hoax, trump is a reasonable guy, and Russia is in the right? Those stances are the opposite of what reddit is overwhelmingly behind.
Asking random commenters to tell you what to think isn’t much better. The trial is public, there are plenty of highligh compilations. If you don’t have the time for that, you can read the verdict. The legal system and the jury are surely the better judges than randos on the internet.
Also it’s kind of ironic that you reject the popular opinion of reddit, only to come and ask for popular opinion on a reddit replacement.
Compression artifacts will exist as long as we use lossy video compression. You can however eliminate visible to the eye artifacts with high enough bitrate, but that has always been the case.
Considering the ungodly size of raw video or even video with lossless compression, we will need lossy compression for the next century.
It will only change if the bandwidth and storage become practically free, which would require some unforseen breakthrough in technology.
He wasnt being 80% Elon. You were just unaware of how shitty he was back then because everyone was kissing the ground he walked on.
He’s always been a massive PoS, he was just better at keeping on the downlow.
Gore… is childish?
It’s not a dark personality to misinterpret things. It’s just a poor grasp of the finer aspects of communication.
For instance, Kathy Griffin made a controversial video holding a bloodied severed head of Trump, who was the US president at the time. That rightfully received a lot of backlash for being in poor taste. Making death threats against the president of the United States in a serious crime, however she was not arrested because it was correctly not seen as a threat by the law enforcement.
Russia loves people like you who are doing their divide-and-conquer work for them.
Most of the right wing is in support of Ukraine. And every case of the government officials opposing more help for Ukraine I’ve seen was on financial grounds, not because they support Russia.
Support of Ukraine is one of the most bipartisan political position in the nation.
“AI” is already handling the search for you. The big search engines are probably the first mass scale adopters of machine learning.
And they have lost the war with SEO spam to a hilarious extent. What makes you think the same won’t happen with chat bot AIs? Bad actors (including PR agencies) will inevitably figure out where and how to spam comments in order to bias the AI models in favor of their agendas or products.
If the data they consume is filled with something like “fossil fuels don’t cause global warming because XYZ”, the chat bots will repeat it. They don’t have the capacity to reason.
There hasn’t been a reason to flood the internet with low effort spam because it’s easily detected by humans who read it. But the ML algorithms will be a lot easier to trick.
The intent is to provide moderators with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
They can’t. Not without removing the part that makes reddit worthwhile, which are small dedicated communities.
Sure, an AI can moderate shit like /pics /politics /funny /gaming. Those are basically just garbage article/repost feeds anyway.
Can an AI moderate say… buildapcsales? Where you need a human moderator to verify if the deal is valid, add additional info to the flair and mark deals as expired? Technically yes, but it would require a specially trained AI, that knows how to scrape particular websites and avoid detection, which is not a great look for reddit and is also a ton of work.
What about a TV show subreddit? There has been instances where episodes were leaked, and the moderators had to protect the community from spoilers. Can an AI do it? Again, if it’s manually trained on this new data it could. But are reddit employees going to illegally download leaked episodes to feed the to the algorithm?
At that point, you’d be spending more time and money on babysitting each AI than if you just moderated manually.
My man, Opera has been sold to a Chinese company years ago. It’s probably the least trustworthy major browser by a large margin.
I wouldn’t trust it with my pornhub account if I had one for some reason.
The percentage of users that solely used the 3rd party apps to view and comment was relatively small.
Reddit doesnt produce any content itself, so viewing and commenting in general isn’t particularly important. What matters more are valuable contributions. I would posit that 3rd party app users provided disproportionately more valuable content than the official app users.
There is already an army of repost bots which aren’t going away. The bots don’t care about the health of the platform, so we can assume they are at maximum repost saturation.
And reposts still require new content generation to make reposts. You can’t repost the same stale content perpetually.
I don’t think reddit is going to just die. But it’s popularity and userbase can dwindle over time. Tumblr still exists, but it’s a shell of its former self.
It’s not about being goofy. It’s about repeating the same damn thing for the millionth time. It gets annoying and adds no value to the conversation.
Why does it need to be a disorder? Being a selfish greedy asshole is not a disorder. It can be a result of some disorders, but it doesn’t have to be.
According to WHO, 40mg per kg of body weight is the safe limit.
Concentration of aspartame in chewing gum samples was between 1.9 and 30.5 μg/g with an average of 11.1 μg/g
So on average, 3.6kg of chewing gum contains 40mg of aspartame.
An average human weights around 60kg. So an average human would be within safe limit by chewing 216kg of gum a day. That’s about 475 pounds of gum a day.
You’re going to need to eat it by a spoonful to even have a chance of it causing cancer.
20 diet cokes a day is healthier* than 1 regular coke a day. Sugary drinks are that bad for you.
*ignoring the possible bad effects of drinking 20 cans of any carbonated water.
Sugar itself is not particularly harmful. Most foods we eat naturally contains sugar.
What’s really harmful are sugary drinks, such as regular soda, fruit juices, and sweet coffee based drinks.
The problem comes from how quickly the sugar is absorbed into the blood stream. Regular foods containing sugar such as fruits release the sugar slowly as they are broken down and digested. Sugary drinks however are pure dissolved sugar which is absorbed incredibly rapidly.
It causes a rapid blood glucose spike which is followed by an insulin spike. Having that as a regular occurance is devastating to your body, and can lead to some terrible conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and diabetes.
Compared to diet soda, it should be very little. Otherwise it would be extremely sweet.
That’s how communism always ends up. When you hand over majority of the power to the state, it won’t be keen on giving it back.
That’s like saying the US is not capitalist because we don’t have a true free market and better products/services don’t always rise to the top.
These simply aren’t things that can practically happen, just like the workers owning the means of production.
