I think it's important to distinct what part of the left.

Most of the left on Lemmy? Probably not.

A lot of liberals who align themselves with the US democrats? There was a lot of support until the famous pedo incident.

What extension are you using?

I mean it had repeatedly lost money for years, I honestly don't think anything could have said it. I am not at all defending Musk, I just think the platform was doomed with our without him.

I think he, accurately, determined that it was a sinking ship. He got as many employees to leave as possible and is now trying to get as much money as possible from the service before it dies.

Exactly. Here in Sweden if you live into a newly built apartement you are basically guranteed grade A sound isolation.

Even older ones usually hold high quality because of renovations.

It's hard to say with the limited context.

But the word is obviously, in certain contexts, derogatory towards women. However, I feel like, especially on the internet, you have to consider that the user using the term might not be a native speaker and could possibly be using it unintentionally.

I'd argue that a warning and explanatory comment would be the first step, unless it's a repeat offender. Otherwise you are more likely to create enemies who won't learn.

I am not entirely sure what you're getting at.

In computer security the term "hack" and "hacking" is very wide. Trying to access accounts or data that you are meant to be unathorized to use is a hack. Which they clearly are here.

I think unlike with Reddit, what you see if what you subscribe to.

This was also the case with Reddit, unless you intentionally went to /r/all? Or am I misunderstanding you? To clarify I always used RIF or went to old.reddit and was never force-fed any content from outside my subscriptions, when I stuck to the home-page.

If you don’t like what you’re seeing, change your subscriptions. Not having Reddit force stuff into the feed is nice but it also means everyone is fully responsible for what they’re seeing.

You make a good point, but I think here's where the current downside of Lemmy comes in, discoverability between instances are pretty bothersome and not easily handled unless you again, go to your instance /all and check what other communities other people on the instance are subscribed to.

I agree! It has been a great help in those cases.

I just don't believe that it can fullfill the actual need for sites like StackOverflow. It probably never will be able to either, unless we manage to make it learn new stuff without reliable sources like SO, while also allowing it to snap up these obscure answers to problems without burying it in tons of broken solutions.

I honestly believe people are way overvaluing the responses ChatGPT gives.

For a lot of boilerplating scenarios or trying to resolve some pretty standard stuff, it's good.

I had an issue a while back with QueryDSL running towards an MSSQL instance, which I tried resolving by asking ChatGPT some pretty straightforward questions regarding the tool. Without going too much into detail, I basically got stuck in a loop where ChatGPT kept suggesting solutions that were not viable at all in QueryDSL. I pointed it out, trying to point out why what it did was wrong and it tried correcting itself suggesting the same broken solutions.

The AI is great until whatever it has been taught previously doesn't cover your situation. My solution was a bit of digging in google away, which helpfully made me resolve the issue. But had I been stuck with only ChatGPT I'd still be going around in loops.

You were never able to.

I meant it as in "Reddit never allowed you to edit titles because.....". Not that they retroactively took a decision to stop you from doing it.

Reddit did it because of hijacking and trolling. Imagine having the top post of all time be edited to some really edgy shit, after it had already gotten there?

It remains to be seen if this will be abused in here or not.
