I’m gen X and I feel like it’s rude to talk to someone with earbuds in so I always take them out, I have noticed a lot of the younger generations don’t view it as rude.

I guess I mean the old version prior to the GME and AMC fiasco.

We need a Lemmy version of WSB

Usually they don’t allow options on new stocks until after the cutoff period. Unless your broker allows naked shorting.

Definitely agree with the Google and Bing, hell I have a better time getting answers to stuff from ChatGPT than Google these days.

I dunno I have done a lot of work to cleanse my home of all of that. I have a pi hole for DNS blocking, I use Firefox with AdBlock on both desktop and mobile, I choose to not use ad riddled apps like TikTok or Instagram (fuck Facebook). I have a VPN which I use for most everything. My home is pretty ad and corporate free. As it should be. Granted I’m pretty tech savvy so none of this was hard for me but I could see my mom having problems.

They can put a robots.txt file in their root structure which can tell robots (AI scrapers) to ignore that website. However that only works on robots which follow that rule, it’s self enforced so it’s a crap shoot of it’ll be followed. Otherwise to be honest there isn’t a lot a public facing website can do to avoid being scraped. Maybe put up a captcha on every page?

Had this happen recently with Rogue Trader, it was taking so long to load the assets and stuff I alt-tabbed then came back later and stared at the screen for a good long time before I saw the, “press any key to continue…”

Same, no problems yet.

I been getting those as well. Like the whole advertisement is for not ads, yet ads!? Wtf

This is an accurate representation of tech debt.

I can get behind this one.

I agree with the healthier environment, it’s kind of nice being able to make a comment and have people actually see it rather than there being 2k+ comments. It’s a small community but I don’t mind that and it’s actually good in that I don’t doom scroll as much cause there just isn’t enough content, so I don’t spend hours on it.

As an overall metric, but some things have definitely gotten worse. The planet is on fire for instance. That’s getting worse and we haven’t even gotten into the really bad part.

Saving for later

Ahh yes, the notoriously liberal Thatcher and Reagan…

And my axe

I have Llama 2 running on localhost, you need a fairly powerful GPU but it can totally be done.
