I think the most important part to understand with lemmy is that the choice of server doesn't matter that much because you can read and post on all the other servers as well. Unless you choose hexbear or whatever it is called these days. :)

But it really is a problem when people can't be bothered to choose from more than exactly one. I mean if you can make a selection from several different brands of toilet paper in a supermarket then why is it so hard to choose a server?

Even the part about Google Search only highlights the AI crap and skips over the real problem of increasingly worse search results. The whole article is more of a rant from a user's perspective and there aren't any real insights.

To put this into perspective, there were 207640 new cars registered in January, of which 1277 were Teslas. That's a measly 0.62 percent of total new car registrations.

Thing is, young people don't get to tell me what I have to do. I don't give a shit what younger people deem appropriate for my age. If I want to wear a hoodie at 50 then I'll wear a hoodie. Now get off my lawn.

Are you still sure he's not an asshole AND stupid at the same time? He tried the same trick twice and failed miserably. Now he's being mocked by the afd and this dumb and reckless maneuver has probably cost his party quite a lot of votes (and most of those unfortunately will go to the afd).

Interesting. I always thought it was just some kind of a shared mannerism, didn't expect there to be actual instructions for that. Do you have any more info on that?

Coming from Germany where a gesture even vaguely similar to a nazi salute is a criminal offence I naturally have a different stance on that. What fascists enjoy doing (and this pattern can be seen all over the word) is provoke with gestures, statements and symbols that look very similar to their fascist equivalent and they always have that smirk. They think it's very clever. When called out on that of course they feign outrage and again with a slight smirk. Journalistic integrity needs to recognize these patterns instead of giving the "benefit of the doubt". They are being played otherwise because there will never be definitive proof if they did it or not.

basically because they assume they could steal votes from the far right by adopting far right topics themselves. It's been proven that this doesn't work though. People then tend to vote for the "original" instead. In fact, adopting far right positions even has a net positive effect for the far right party because a mainstream party now validates their propaganda.

I don't like how people are trying to stir up dissent and drama around this. The message posted is short and on point, it includes all the important bits. There really isn't much more to add.

I fell asleep during all of the Harry Potter movies I tried to watch. That's not meant as a judgement on the quality of those movies. I just couldn't help it.

Of course they do. AI is aggressively marketed as such. Most people simply don't know that an LLM doesn't have a concept of "truth“, and the misleading marketing is to blame for that.

As a (Plasma based) Kubuntu user I was wondering as well. Looks like they tried to emulate the gnome look and feel in the picture. In Kubuntu the default taskbar is at the bottom and the floating application bar doesn't exist
