Around here, the same kind of demographic often replaces the ellipsis with ',,,'. It's both mind-boggling and fascinating, raising so many questions that I'm neither mentally prepared nor qualified to ponder.

Shpongle, when the walls melt.

It's a russian Margolin, or some variant. So yes, a .22LR.

Yep, once anyone can download an app on their phone and do something like this without any effort in realtime it's going to lose its (shock) value fast. It would be like sketching a crude boobs and vagina on someones photo with MS Paint and trying to use that for blackmail or shaming. It would just seem sad and childish.

Practical, but not really equivalent though because of nil punning.

The locking down started with the original MacIntosh (or actually with the Lisa I guess). ISTR they had at least one bit more open period after that, but those have always been the exception.

Wouldn't it be more correct to say that most Americans also use a messaging app (iMessage). The rest are just stuck with SMS to have compatibility with the iPhone users.

As the iPhone was (is?) not as popular in the Europe as it was (is) in the States that might also be one of the reasons why people here ditched SMS so fast once smartphones got popular.

Join and recommend smaller general instances like lemm.ee, vlemmy.net, and lemmy.one at random instead. Smaller servers have been upgraded for the surge of users too you know

That was basically my logic when I joined lemmy.world a few weeks ago. Oh well...

That's actually cool and a bit like what I had in mind. But it doesn't seem to offer an actual hierarchical view of the lemmyverse.

It would be nice to have a forum style clear treeview of the forums (instances) and their subforums (communities) with activity indicators etc to make browsing and discovering content straight forward. Then if you subscribe to a community it would also show in it's own treeview that the user could arrange to their liking.

You are not alone, and I'm starting to feel that treating Lemmy like a federation of web forums instead of Reddit replacement would fit the underlying model better.

Speaking as just a hobbyist, a more developer oriented community focused on the topic would be nice, if someone is up to the task.

It's currently hard to find any good information about how to actually use LLMs as part of a software project as most of the related subreddits etc. are more focused on shitposting and you don't currently really want to talk about these in general tech/programming forums without a huge Don't shoot I'm not one of them! disclaimer.

Edit: took a quick look at lemmy.intai.tech and it seems promising!

Regarding little Bobby, is there any known guaranteed way to harden the current systems against prompt injections?

This is something that I'm personally more worried about than Skynet or mass unemployment now that everyone and their dog is rushing to integrate LLMs into to their systems (ok worried maybe a wrong word, but let's just say I have the popcorns ready for the moment the first mass breaches happen with something like the Windows Copilot).
