I think in threads where an obviously well-informed computer user asks a question about how to accomplish something or troubleshoot something in Windows, it's pretty much never helpful to recommend using Linux instead. They probably know about Linux. They either must, or want to use Windows. It's a pretty common occurrence, however.

Though these days, you might get to recommend Linux anyway by saying "you should use wsl2."

I try to do an "end-run" around federation drama by using my own instance, especially since I prefer to be as openly federated as possible. This is not without drawbacks, but it's really not bad.

My fear is that one day the biggest instances will switch from using block lists to instead only federate with an allow-list. That would basically make this use non-viable.

It’s not quite as good as reddit was for me when reddit was good.

My hope/expectation is that for lemmy (and the wider "threadiverse," e.g. kbin) the best days are still to come.

Elon Musk is a brilliant inventor nonpareil. He invented tunnels, rockets, electric cars, and now Twitter.

I got a 2023 Bolt EUV a few months ago and I love it. (I wanted the EV but I couldn't find any.)

I'm curious if disabling the OnStar stuff is as "simple" as it is in the 2019 models.

"Instead of working on that project that you were enjoying working on in your spare time, why not do this completely different other thing?"

That's not reasonable.

Exactly, you never intended to commission an artist because you think so-called “AI art” is good enough to replace them.

Weird argument to make on a piracy sub, honestly. The existence of an AI generated image does not imply that a somewhere an artist lost a commission. Nobody was replaced. It's not a choice between AI art and commissioned art, it's a choice between AI generated images and nothing at all because that was the point of his project.

Whether we find it tasteful or interesting is another topic.

Kind of a drama lightning rod. Fair warning.

Agreed, and I don't intend to stop at the moment. When I wrote "close it" I meant registration, sorry about the ambiguous language.
