It was made illegal in the EU years ago.

The rule is pretty simple: you have to be able to cancel a subscription the same way you signed up for it. If you used the Internet to sign up there better be a fucking button that allows you to cancel.

My wife teaches at a university. The title is partly bullshit:

For most teachers it couldn't be more obvious who used ChatGPT in an assignment and who didn't.

The problem, in most instances, isn't the "figuring out" part, but the "reasonably proving" part.

And that's the most frustrating part: you know an assignment was AI-written, there are no tools to prove it and the university gives its staff virtually no guidance or assistance on the subject matter, so you're almost powerless.

A new scaled sort option has been added. This sort is identical to the Hot sort, but also takes into account the number of each community's active monthly users, and so helps to boost posts from less active communities to the top.

This is such a vital change and should be the default. Lemmy is currently effectively suffocating and killing its small communities and stunting its own growth due to its complete inability to surface their content. No scaled sorting, no "community bundling" - this is an important step in the right direction but there's likely a lot more work needed to solve this problem.

"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western spiral arm of the galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this, at a distance of roughly ninety million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet, whose ape descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. This planet has, or had, a problem, which was this. Most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small, green pieces of paper, which is odd, because on the whole, it wasn't the small, green pieces of paper which were unhappy. And so the problem remained, and lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake coming down from the trees in the first place, and some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no-one should ever have left the oceans."

Ich versuche, so wenig wie möglich an den Haufen Nazis zu denken, denn alles andere macht depressiv. Leider sind die Drecksäcke medial überrepräsentiert.

Most of them? The fact that most niche communities failed to successfully migrate away from Reddit is the reason why Lemmy isn't really something I frequent as often as I would like these days.

Heck, it would probably be a whole lot easier to list the three niche communities here that may be thriving.

Had she retired on time, she would have been remembered as a trailblazer instead of a stubborn, senile, roadblock. The general public would have felt sadness instead of relief.

Betteridge's law of headlines has rarely been more applicable than in this case: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." 

Every account on lemmy is a bot except you.

Not just teachers: this obviously wouldn't have happened, if all the other students had been armed, too.

The only thing that can stop a bad 6-year-old with a gun is a good 6-year-old with a gun.

Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other five?

It's not a bug, that's just where the visible spectrum ends. There's a bunch of different shades of ultraviolet following that purple line. Just don't read far enough down a comment chain to stare at the gamma-ray-colored ones.

The problem is, you and me wouldn't be superhuman. Being a broken-ass, second-rate, classic-style human in a world of superhumans would absolutely not be cool.

He's not the one collecting the data, receiving the data, or even choosing what data is collected. How the fuck can he be "more transparent" with this data? It's Google standard AdMob SDK used by the vast majority of Android-Apps showing ads. The SDK isn't initialized in the paid version.

Literally, the only complaint I'm having here is that buying the Ad-Free version was a little too hard to find. A pop-up "hey, would you like ads or pay for this app" would have allowed me to pay for it faster.

He filed them right next to his healthcare plan and the infrastructure plan, to be released "next week".

The ball gag is for the "Ommms" not to bother the neighbors ...

I mean, this is Lemmy, we're barely interacting here.

A stupid dystopia.

Even if we ignore the whole "planning a Star Wars inspired regicide to impress an AI" part, trying to assassinate a 95-year-old is just a dumb race against time.
