The day they announced their rebrand was the last day I bought anything from them. I refuse to give them any more money on principle. If they can shell out nearly a half billion on a rebrand, they can drop some of their prices.

Any thoughts on this OP or is this more “let me just link this everywhere and not actually give any discussion about it myself” links are so prevalent on lemmy lately.

Any synopsis? Or is this just to drive clicks to your blog?

This community seems to be inundated with just random links with no actual information added as to why I should want to click it, or what is actually at the link.

This is a prime example. It’s simply a link to a blog, with “Free Public Wifi” as the title. Literally nothing else. No synopsis, no information as to why I should want to click it, or read whatever is written. Just an ambiguous title linking to an ambiguous blog.

Of course it’s also cross-posted to as many other communities as possible.

Thank you, I am quickly getting quite sick of people just link bombing communities without adding anything to say what the links actually are or do. There should be rules around it. I already block bots (which doesn’t seem to work) I guess it’s time to start blocking other accounts that do this.

That’s why it’s stated in the Lemmy docs to use an image host instead of uploading directly. Unfortunately, most users don’t do that.

That’s on you, not the internet or google. As has been pointed out, dot al is a TLD for a country. Just because you can’t type properly and didn’t spell check yourself, doesn’t mean the internet is doomed.

You’re right, I have zero posts so far, I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make there though. Perhaps you think everyone should keep posting the same thing ad nauseam?

As soon as I find “something I want to discuss” I’ll be sure to post it. Until then I’ll just keep browsing past the same things that keep being posted time and again here.

Is there some award for being the very last person to post this in this community or something? This has been discussed to death about a dozen times already.

Why is crap from 2 weeks ago being posted like it’s new news yet again

Is this one of those bot accounts that aren’t marked properly or is OP just after karma (which doesn’t exist on this site).

I have a couple, including the one running my lemmy instance I’m posting this from. They’ve all been pretty good for me. I don’t push any of them hard or anything, but I’ve not had any problems.

It seems the same things keep being posted multiple times, usually by bots. I have blocked bots, but they still show. It’s gotten to the point I’ve had to start blocking them, and users the post the same things that have already been posted here multiple times.

Get rid of them I say.

I have bots blocked and they still show up in comments. I think it only blocks bots from main posts.

I don’t personally mind this particular bot, but most of them are annoying so I block them all.

Corsair intends to keep Drop as a separate brand within the company

I’ll give that about 6 months before they “have to merge” and the layoffs begin.

After their crypto crap, this doesn’t surprise me one bit.

And don’t give me that “You can disable the crypto” the fact is, you shouldn’t have to because it shouldn’t have ever been included in the first place.

The point is you shouldn’t have to “just use a proxy”, it’s an unnecessary block because people happen to live in the “wrong” countries.

Admins, make sure you update to 18.2, this has already been patched:

I still have a 3D Plasma TV. I haven’t found a reason to replace it as it’s still going just fine.

You shouldn’t have to though. The whole “only available if you happen to live in X” is so much bs when it comes to things like this. Sure if it was a giveaway and needed to be shipped, I could understand. But a website being locked away to only certain regions is ridiculous.

Unfortunately, Claude.ai is only available in the US and UK. We’re working hard to expand to other regions soon.

If how AI is currently going (and currently way overhyped) is anything to go by, it’s just going to make everything up in a plausible sounding way and not actually accomplish anything.

But it seems like every man and his dog has an opinion on why it’s going to be Next Big Thing ^tm
