Ok you go first. You seem to know what you’re talking about. 👍

I was half convinced lefties online are gradually being made to suffer a shittier online experience by big tech. This kinda confirms it.

Question is do we need more code, or better code?

I’ve stopped buying at Amazon a good while ago, I find most of what I need in smaller European web stores, I’ll buy computer, household, garden and farm stuff mostly. Also, small local shops around here will order stuff they don’t have in stock.

Thanks for doing this, I thought I was going insane to have even Lemmy flooded with oh so much slop.

I could do with some help - my latest little crusade is to call out AI slop on facebook and youtube whenever I encounter it, and explain to the poster and commenters why I unfollow anyone who uses AI generated images or text, and why others should do so as well. This is mostly geared towards people who post educational stuff with positive intention but have no idea that using AI is awful and wrong.

To do this I want to use an easily recognizable image (hand drawn of course), but I’ve realized that many people simply don’t understand at all why AI is evil. I’d also need a link to some article or other information that explains it in really simple terms for non-tech people - if any of you good people happen to know of any material I could use please post a link.

I can completely understand your growlight for tomato thing, I remember my balcony garden when I had to live in the city, with compost and all, also as a sort of test if neighbors would complain about the smell. They didn’t. Luckily I’m back to the soil and have a real garden to care for, but what you say can’t be understated. No matter if we are a human in a city or a rural area, we need other species around us, plants, animals and fungi. They can tell us things we will not hear from other humans.
