There is a scientific reason for this. Prepare for minor text wall.

When you fall asleep, your brain erases temporary memory and “closes” permanent memory so that nothing can be stored to it during sleep. This is also the reason you can’t remember what you did a few minutes before falling asleep. Therefore, your dreams are stored in temp memory and you can only remember them for a little bit after waking.

Don’t quote me on this, I found it somewhere, and my somewheres tend to be pretty reliable, but I’m too lazy to fact-check. Feel free to downvote if wrong.

Why does Zuck want to know the browser histories of people on the internet? 😳

So he can sell your data to advertisers. Yeah, don’t use anything made by Meta that is connected to the internet.

This is something I had neglected to think of. A reward/points system leads to bots farming for points, then selling the account. On the other hand, karma can be a good indicator to community moderators of weather that user isn’t just a spam account.

Edit: To clarify comment karma is a good metric for mods, not post karma. Its much harder to gain karma via comments because you can’t just repost r/oddlysatisfying shit, but that could change with GPT and open source LLMs.

Most of the people fleeing Reddit are the same people who shit on Musk in r/facepalm.

Yeah, definitely not going to take off with the leaving Reddit crowd. Might attract current Twitter users through shudders

The latter. Only your server admin has your info.

I don't think Lemmy could be wrecked as easily as Reddit, (fuck u/spez) as Reddit is under the control of a singular entity that exists to make money, while the fediverse is made up of many different instances hosted by many different people, most, if not all who host their instances using their own money without a desire to financially profit from Lemmy. Plus, even if one instance goes to crap, users can simply migrate to another instance.

Yeah, the data is used to create profiles of you to serve more relevant ads, so that advertisers pay them more. Thats more accurate once I think about it a little.

Not sure, wefwef works again now. Typing this on wefwef.

Yep, thats true.

I do use a VPN and browse via incognito/Firefox though, so my chances of being tracked are pretty low.

How would that work though?

That isn’t what OP is talking about.

So… for the top menu bar, you copied macOS, complete with an Apple logo. Then, for file explorer, you is copied Windows 10/11. Everything else if your generic Linux distro. What are you trying to accomplish?

My analysis: OP is too dangerous to be left alive.

Here is the Apple logo, for those who missed it:

Best form there is!

Many long posts on Reddit are written by AI because thats what it has devolved into: AI written crap pushed out by karma farms. The guy above you is asking if you are one of those accounts.

I don’t think this was written by AI, doesn’t have the same ring to it. Nice eulogy, OP.

Aye, a fellow veteran!

Comment karma is harder to gain than post karma, which is why many Reddit mods (including me) use it as a metric instead of combined karma. That is what I intended to say. Sorry about the confusion.

I can see your comment (lemmy.world). Might be a bug, or the influx of new users causing lags in some instances.
