You’re comparing apples to oranges.

It’s making it so easy.

8 years are 2 election cycles. Much can happen in that time.

Writing is way more than creating outlines or checking the plot for problems. It’s more than even writing a first draft. In fact, it starts with the first round of edits, when characters awake and find their voices etc.

People who think writing with AI is just pushing buttons underestimate the complexity of the process, and using AI for things you’d usually use other writers’ feedback or betas or developmental editors for is just an evolution of tools, the same way we don’t scratch on stone tablets anymore today.

I’d like to know, too. Especially considering most servers I’m on are unlikely to switch.

It's very simple actually. Russia invaded a souvereign country. The end.

No. What a hilarious notion.

On sh.itjust.works, shit just works.

As for apps, I'm using Liftoff, which works well, but hasn't seen an update for a while, and I don't know how active the dev is. I'd rather not use Jerboa, which has been created by tankies, or any of the ad-infested ones, like Boost, because I think it's despicable to try and profit off of user-generated content on a platform that's meant to be free (could have stayed on Reddit if I wanted that).

Looks accurate on the ELI5 front. Most user-written ELI5s are incomprehensible to five year olds.

I only have four or five extensions and YouTube videos lag. It’s Firefox. I’ll still not switch to anything else, but I could imagine a clean Chrome without anything added and zero bookmarks purely as video platform.

Good thing I’m using Firefox.

I make one attempt to explain myself, maybe add a clarification. If it still looks like it’d turn into an argument, I just let it go.

So much anger, your post is hard to read. What instances’ admins are you talking about, and what happened?

I’ve rarely seen an admin, only occasionally in sticky announcement type posts, talking about stuff like software updates and such.

Instead of reposting it here, you link to a corpo website.

What kind of pirate are you? LOL

I’ve been on sh.itjust.works since day one of my Lemmy existence, because shit just works.

It also doesn’t overdo it with defeds (beehaw) and isn’t run by tankies (lemmy.ml) or nazis (exploding-heads).

Second-hand is really the only thing that concerns me. What people smoke is none of my business.

I wouldn’t wanna inhale second-hand cannabis either.

Baby hits mom’s nipple (critical) for 9999 (9999 piercing).

Yeet

Beehaw is a Lemmy instance. However, they defederated from two huge instances, because they’re open registration, and the four BH admins felt overwhelmed with the incoming traffic and unable to manually block trolls, so they decided to just separate from a large chunk of content rather than get it under control.

I’m on one of the two defederated instances, sh.itjust.works, and I can neither see what’s posted there, nor can a BH user see what I post (or what’s up on our server, for that matter.

The other big instance is lemmy.world.

BH has very specific rules for what’s okay over there and what’s not. Check them out and see if you’re willing to live with the defederation for the sake of what their admins define as safety.
