It’s not bad though. Zoom is great. Apparently their leadership sucks, but as a product its always done what I needed it to do without issue.

This happened in April…

Taking concern for someone’s well being when it is quite clearly not in a good place has very little to do with the accusations being levied. I hope the right people are at least aware of that and are reaching out to her. I said in my reply the accusations need to be explored.

If you read that full thread it sounds like someone who was let go from a place I worked years ago and just rings of serious mental health concerns. Slicing open your leg so you go to the ER to avoid going to work is not a sign that someone is of sound mind. All accusations need to be taken seriously and explored regardless given their severity, but I also seriously hope she can get help.

Why would this be a bad thing? Doubt it happens at any scale but this seems like a perfectly viable way to cool data centers compared to how energy intensive they are today.

I’m with you. If we keep migrating to something else we’ll never actually settle to create a real community. I’m sticking with Mastadon. It’s grown into something pretty stable and decent at this point.

Lemmy/Kbin really don’t function in a way that make megathreads work though. This won’t work here and we can’t be thinking about trying to adopt Reddit behaviors in a platform that works very differently. Unlike Reddit, there isn’t a singular community around Technology. There are dozens that we can all see built across every instance. I had to scroll just to see I was looking at the Beehaw one.

I believe his main goal is turning Twitter into something of an “everything” site where he’s looking to combine the likes of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Discord, and Venmo/Paypal into a single service. I don’t know if it was his goal when he bought it or if it has any chance in hell of working, but that’s something he at least said (while probably drunk) fairly recently.

Why are you even there still? Mastadon has been a solid alternative for me for a while now.

I’d prefer not to leave Apple with pretty much no competition in mobile OS if Android were to fail, unless we’re just referring to Google the search engine, and not the parent company Alphabet.

I think the mistake was trying to use Bing to help with anything. Generative AI tools are being rolled out by companies way before they are ready and end up behaving like this. It’s not so much the ethical limitations placed upon it, but the literal learning behaviors of the LLM. They just aren’t ready to consistently do what people want them to do. Instead you should consult with people who can help you plan out places to travel. Whether that be a proper travel agent, seasoned traveler friend or family member, or a forum on travel. The AI just isn’t equipped to actually help you do that yet.

My growing concern for this community surviving is that it develops its own identity. My fear is that it’s becoming a dumping ground for Reddit infighting and not much else. Obviously, it’s early days still, but I don’t quite remember this when migrating over from Digg years ago. I feel like the community mostly just made fun of Digg and went on to post new and engaging content. This feels different, and not in a good way.

This is tremendously helpful thanks for posting!

I wouldn’t say currently because I deleted it after moving to Kbin, but I was using RIF for as long as it existed and was a daily Reddit user for over 12 years. I’ve been happy using Kbin though this past week and have quickly seen subreddits migrating over and a lot more activity just in the past few days.
