Thee fact that modern cars are backseat drivers but not competent drivers is why I don't own a car anymore. Don't get me wrong, I used signals, but it's a million little nitpicks that add up. They're features for other people, not the user, that I'm only buying because I have no real choice. Heaven forbid any actual legal enforcement of those rules by people - it must be done by making products more annoying.

Cars (and humans) can either drive for me or STFU about my driving.

    I've been married for a long time too and we met on the greatest dating website of all time: Craigslist Personals.

    You entered your gender, age, a written segment, and an optional photo. No algorithm, no matching. Everything written was searchable and published via RSS. All communication went through email. No app, no subscription, and the only ads were sex workers.

    In the context of this article, it forced the user to engage by reading people's blurbs instead of just swiping for brain chemicals like Candy Crush. You felt like you were talking the other humans and the website was just where you went to meet them.

    If such a site were recreated today, users would want to run the RSS feed through a slop rejection filter.

    Digital artists and illustrators are abandoning Elon Musk’s blogging platform X (formerly Twitter) over the introduction of a new controversial image-editing feature powered by artificial intelligence (AI). According to reports, the creators claimed that the new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

    One such popular creator championing the boycott is Mu-jik Park, the renowned South Korean artist known by the pen name Boichi. Boichi is the creator of the hit manga series Dr Stone and Sun-Ken Rock.

     

    My understanding of federation is that it's like email. If one server is misbehaving, then they get defederated.

    So how come email spam still exists - why don't spammer domains get defederated? It seems like we've got the worst of both worlds, where it's hard to get your emails relayed when you run a small email server, and easy to get them relayed if you're a spammer.

    Is there anything about Lemmy's architecture that will prevent this problem?
