Even the "thinking engine" ones are wild to watch in motion, if you ever turn on debugging. It's like watching someone substitute the autosuggest of your keyboard for what words appear in your head when trying to think through something. It just generates something and then generates again using THAT output (multiple times maybe involved for each step).

I watched one I installed locally for Home Assistant, as a test for various operations, just start repeating itself over and over to nearly everything before it just spat out something completely wrong.

Garbage engines.

Despite it being their software, they don't maintain this part. It'd be like saying Firefox is responsible for preventing fake bank websites from existing (this is ignoring how they also ship malware protection lists anymore to try and help). The Discover app is just a client where a distro supplies the software lists. On OpenSUSE it browses SUSE (and Flathub, if you add it.)

On Ubuntu it browses Ubuntu's APT repos and snap.

You can easily alter what repos the software uses too, it's just using whatever the distribution has configured it to use in conf files and repo lists.

Oh for sure. It's still only in that like 5% range but what I meant was folks treat it like it's new and like...nah.

I hate it. I haven't run into anyone directly doubting my ADHD at all lately, but as a kid I definitely faced that stigma from some other kids saying it's "fake", and I think one of the teachers even said it.

I'm well aware, I run an instance and know it's in the DB. But on my instance I'd have to trawl the database for it instead of getting a nice UI look. That's what I meant.

Is that a fork? Or just the newest update? The instance I run doesn't have that.

That feels gross, like if I could see poll voters on Mastodon.

Makes it feel like Lemmy was written by some insecure folks.

Can this admin see these votes without diving through the database because he's an insecure douchebag? Like Mastodon only shows some things even to admins without being gross and unethical by digging into the database directly.

I think the bigger difference is "I don't believe but I also don't think others are wrong" is a kind of mentality often. I think that and people are used to seeing self-proclaimed atheists being assholes loudly and go "well I'm not that". Atheism got fucked over by people who just want to be dicks to religious folks.

It explains so much when it's played up so heavily in talk shows, despite the reality always having been very minor. Honestly I didn't realize me being gay was that much of a minority either. I kind of wish ADHD had been one in the list; if I remember the reality is like no more than 3-5% of the population but people assume it's over diagnosed as hell and like...not really. Maybe when there was the initial "rush" of sorts for parents during the 90's because of it seeming to help "unruly" kids, often just meaning imaginative or creative. In my case my parents didn't even know until my kindergarten teacher told them I should get evaluated, and yep.

One of the Bioware devs posted that something like 92% of players were heavily to entirely Paragon despite them putting a lot of effort into Renegade content. People want to care about others, even virtual folks. You get invested.
