For me it’s because I have ADHD and thrive among organized clutter.
I may have 100 tabs open, but they’re all categorized: One tab group for YouTube, one for porn, one for my website, and one for everything else. I keep stuff in there that’s good enough to hang onto for a while, but not good enough to bookmark.
“Some of you may die, but that is a chance I am willing to take.”
Wait, seriously? You guys didn’t realize that you were supposed to smoke weed on “the walk”? That’s hilarious.
The joke is that “the walk with the cousins” usually implies stepping outside to smoke weed with them before dinner, so that you have a big appetite. This tweet flips that joke on its head because you go into it thinking that’s what the post was going to be about, but instead it’s about incest.
One of the many things that annoys me about the sitcom Big Bang Theory is that as pedantic as Sheldon is, not once does he ever complain to Penny about the lack of headrests in her car. You’d think he’d refuse to ride until she replaced them. Totally immersion breaking.
That’s not what the article summary is saying, though. To clarify my question, I’m referring to this part:
If it becomes law, Wisconsin could become the first state where using a VPN to access certain content is banned.
How are they going to enforce that? Assuming the VPN provider is doing their due-diligence, they have no way of knowing what kind of traffic is going through a privacy-based VPN when someone uses one.
I thought L2P was just for torrents. How do I use it with my internet connection? Does it cost money?
How the fuck do they plan on monitoring VPN traffic? Isn’t the whole point of a good privacy-oriented VPN is that they don’t log traffic? How can they monitor something that doesn’t exist?
You’re in one right now. Lemmy is basically a forum: people can make posts and reply to them. The only difference is the points system.
Couldn’t agree more. I don’t miss getting information from forums. A voting system for posts and comments makes it easier to filter out the bullshit and get straight to the answers. It also encourages people to make more helpful replies so that they get upvoted. Definitely don’t miss the days of going through pages and pages of dumb, pointless replies, just to get to the one comment with the helpful response.
What I miss is the same thing you do: the fun part of forums. The signatures, avatars, ranks and titles. The sense of community, because everyone knows each other and they all post regularly. You don’t get the same sense of community on a social media platform like Lemmy. Just strangers sharing their opinions and nobody remembers anyone.

Oh shit I think so.
That, or my ADHD completely misread the title.

Thanks. Going to give therapy a try.

Yeah but when it’s a total crapshoot as to whether or not its summary is accurate, you can’t trust it. I adblocked those summaries cause they’re useless.
At least some of the competing AIs show their work. Perplexity cites its sources, and even ChatGPT recently added that ability as well. I won’t use an LLM unless it does, cause you can easily check the sources it used and see if the slop it spit out has even a grain of truth to it. With Gemini, there’s no easy way to verify anything it said beyond just doing the googling yourself, and that defeats the point.
Gemini once told me to “please wait” while it did “further research”. I responded with, “that’s not how this works; you don’t follow up like that unless I give you another prompt first”, and it was basically like, “you’re right but just give me a minute bro”. 🤦
Out of all the LLMs I’ve tried, Gemini has got to be the most broken. And sadly that’s the one LLM that your average person is exposed the most to, because it’s in nearly every Google search.

LMAO You and I both know they meant which distro, asshole. 😂
