Last time they tried stopping me for weed I was too dumb for them to arrest 🤣 (I’d traveled non-stop from a festival in Spain my brain was so fried i forgot I had hash (known as chocolate in France) in my pocket)

I don’t do much TTS but is this better than the non-AI equivalent?

Maybe my ears are bad because I’ve listen to too much human made loud music, but it sounds more artificial than the default say command on OSX.

Oh I completely agree, I just think it’s ridiculous to pretend tipping doesn’t impact service.

Grand Theft Labour!

Maybe better is not the right term but tipping definitely results in politer and usually faster service, there is no point in pretending it doesn’t have an impact.

And I’m against tipping culture, I’m just not in denial that it has an impact.

Lol, you don’t know shit about me.

I definitely think we should pay a living wage to everyone and I’m working to pass that in my city & county, but that’s doesn’t mean I’m in denial about the faux friendliness that results from tipping culture or that the staff are more attentive (it’s much less common for staff to ask if you want more drinks without you having to get their attention in countries without tips than those with)

Tipping does not lead to better service.

Spoken like someone who’s never experienced a French waiter.

It’s been a while so I could be mis remembering but basically once you’d been an active member long enough every once in a while you would be prompted to review moderation and upvotes (upvotes were done by category so +1 funny was different to +1 insightful), beyond that I’m not sure but I assume if you got too many of your votes rejected the weight of your votes was probably reduced or even completely ignored.

I think social media likely does this on an individual basis (so if you downvotes something someone else upvotes the fact you are anti-polarised against them is likely weighing votes going forward), but I think the weights applied globally so knowing you could be effectively judged irrelevant if you did too many stupid votes also kept people honest in how they voted (or was meant to anyway).

It’s a shame nobody is really trying anything than personalized algorithms these days, if everyone has a unique experience it doesn’t build an online community the way that websites used to IMO (even if some of the communities were extremely toxic)

It’s really a shame that reddit has no interest in being good, because there are multiple ways you could address this:

• Slashdot style moderation review is my favorite

• having resources elect their mods could also prevent these grabs and server as a way to handle obvious abuse

But they seem more interested in getting ai to replace mods & be worse at it.

I dunno I think it’s more likely that they know all of these companies are a secure threat but they are ignoring it for their own guys.

the industry has moved beyond simple IP address checks to deep packet inspection of wireless network identifiers.

I don’t think this is a good description of what happened.

The app likely used the BSSID based location service or even did that itself with their own service.

But it renders the advice kind of useless:

• Use Cellular Data for Sensitive Transactions: - Android has the WiFi scanning setting under location services, if that’s enabled the actual connection you use doesn’t matter.
• Utilize Private Hotspots: -same
• Review App Permissions: - the correct fix.

While they cannot stop BSSID collection at the network level

They litterally can, no app installed from the app store is setting your interface to promiscuous mode & manually reading SSID headers, if you don’t give permission to use location services they can’t read use the services that translate BSSIDs into locations.

Nah on larger communities we’ve already reached the point that going against the hivemind gets downvotes.

I think I upset technology by not sufficiently glazing signal (because it still depends on centralized infrastructure & Google/apple can send you backdoored updates), and there was no room for discussion only downvotes.

Wow just 1 short of the average reddit comment these days

He grew up in Taiwan & Thailand so in the 60s/70s so it’s possible, not everywhere was as car pilled as the US then

We should make sure new systems are efficient, this seems like a good idea, I’m sure conservatives/reform voters will be frothing at the mouth.

That’s cool and all but I want to learn more about their culture of redacting abusive leaders with home made blunderbusts as I think that’s more immediately relevant to fixing the US.

Yes,

No idea it doesn’t seem like the current AI hype is even close though.

I support high inheritance taxes, but practically speaking they hit the middle class the hardest because they are the easiest to avoid once you are rich enough.

Bro, you’re the fucking government, you have a monopoly on the legal use of violence, why you scared of some kids with fire extinguishers full of paint? you fucking cowards.
