what i don’t get is: who names a community “AMUSING, INTERESTING, OUTRAGEOUS, or PROFOUND”. first of all, what do these things have to do with each other? secondly, why all caps?

i’ve actually been thinking whether there could maybe be some kind of machine-wrestling. i.e. fights for show or competition or sth, similar to the olympic games, but purely involving machines. drones and such

i guess maybe nobody wants to participate there to not leak their secret military technology?

wtf did i just read. lmao. this gotta be some ragebait paper.

I show how descriptions of drone warfare are rife with symptoms of an unresolved disorientation, often expressed as gender anxiety over the failure of the distance–intimacy and home–combat axes to orient killing with drones.

lmao

“Primary weapon: python script” got me lmao

actually i do sometimes think that life is in some sense a drama (theater stage), and what we perform is often at least as important as what we actually do in reality.

i.e. there’s a whole lot of symbolic interactions throughout the day. for example every time that we speak to someone. it doesn’t change reality, but another person’s mind, so it’s a symbolic interaction.

but … it checks out?

there isn’t any good reason. you should start giving less attention to those who shout loudest, IMO.

i have also written here about how mastodon is more user-centric (because you follow users) while lemmy is more topic-centered (because you follow topic-oriented communities).

now i conjecture that maybe mastodon is more closely appropriate for location-specific content? because you can have one mastodon instance per city, to see all the stuff there (all contributing users) in a wild, mixed feed. and as is usual in a city, you might have specific people that you know well that you would like to hear more stuff from. meanwhile on lemmy, emphasizing individual users is a bit more difficult and less easy to do.

so i’m wondering whether there’s a correlation between user-centricism and location-centricism, versus topic-centricism.

this might be an abstract thought but idk whether you can understand it?

(in which case i would like to embed whole mastodon instances as a community in lemmy. so you might subscribe to the https://feddit.org/c/mastodon:wien.rocks or https://feddit.org/c/all@wien.rocks community to see all stuff from the https://wien.rocks/ mastodon instance. wien is the city of vienna btw.)

there’s dedicated “test” communities for this kind of post btw

uh i get what you mean, but that has mostly to do with the users here, and not technically with the software itself. although the (well-written) lemmy software surely encourages nice users to come here :)

i did that once. it did not work as well as i had hoped. i’m still not sure why.

just post them in some science or health community, depending on how close it gets to people’s everyday-lifes

the best recipes have no more than 3 ingredients, and the instruction is literally to just mix them cold. if you have to heat some up, do not use more than 1 pan.

would you like to know whether you’re speaking to an actual human on the other end of the line?

“bot speak” becomes unintelligible to humans.

at some point we will give a name of this phenomenon of internet users who are completely undecipherable for normal people … and call it autism (/hj)

It’ll be bots writing articles for bots, bots summarising them for other bots, bots commenting underneath, and bots measuring the engagement.

huh that’s weird, it’s not paywalled for me.

uhh, the bots are requesting multiple sites in parallel, not in series, so it’s difficult to say “hey look, that user moves through 5 pages per second”. instead, you’d say “hey look, there’s 5 users each crawling through 1 page per second”.
