I got permabanned from /r/askhistorians for posting a link to reveddit, a site where you could view deleted posts. I did that to inform people that they could use that site to see all the posts that the mods remove (in that subreddit they remove any post that does not provide references).

I thought that the worst case would be that my post would get deleted and I would get a warning. No, they just permabanned me.

I was mad so I appealed telling them that it's wrong to permaban people for reasons like this. I understand permaban for offensive content. But I still don't understand their action.

Discussing with them proved that while one of them one reasonable and understanding, the other was completely mad about my action and wanted me to be almost on my knees pleading to remove the permaban. Eventually they "did a vote" and I stayed permabanned. I tried again one year later to no avail - I figured, maybe one year later they would get over it. Nope.

I just stopped checking and recommending /r/askhistorians ever since.

Il casse les idées reçues de certains média comme quoi un jour l'IA pourra complètement remplacer l'être humain.

Il explique (grosso modo) que l'IA ne sera jamais meilleure que nous sur l'ensemble des domaines. Tu peux faire une IA spécialisée dans un domaine, et l'IA sera sûrement meilleure que toi (par exemple aux échecs). Si on était capable de produire une IA pour chaque domaine concevable - alors peut-être que l'IA nous dépasserait. Mais le nombre de domaines étant infini, ça ne sera jamais le cas.

Même dans les domaines spécialisés, l'IA est complètement inefficace en terme de ressources par rapport à un être humain. Les deux exemples majeurs qu'il donne pour illustrer ça :

• on a entrainé une IA pour reconnaitre des chats. Il a fallu l'entrainer sur 100000 images de chat, après quoi l'IA reconnaissait les chats à 98%. Un enfant de 2 ans serait capable de reconnaitre un chat après avoir vu seulement quelques images de chat, et à 100%.
• le data center qui a battu le champion de Go lors de la défaite historique contenait des milliers d'ordinateurs soit des centaines de kW de consommation. Le champion de Go, avec son cerveau qui consomme environ 20W, a réussi à battre cette IA.

La conclusion de sa vidéo c'est que l'IA c'est juste un outil. Un outil très puissant et qui sera certainement meilleur que nous dans certains domaines pour lesquels il a été conçu. Mais qu'il y aura toujours besoin d'un être humain pour le manier, et qu'on est à des années lumières de l'IA "Hollywoodienne" qui serait réellement intelligente.

I have! Many times. I am one of those who is not nostalgic with D1 simply because I did not finish it until late (the first time I seriously dived through it was 5 years ago).

Could you point out things that I said that are inaccurate or incorrect?

If you are interested I highly suggest DevilutionX, it's a modern engine for Diablo 1 with lots of modern features (like alt highlighting) and modern windows compatibility

Good question, I think both games are masterpieces each in their own way.

I personally prefer D1 because it's more focused on tactical gameplay than D2. If you play it right you can tackle the whole game without drinking a lot of potions. D1 rewards both the "skill" of the player aka how good they are at the game, and also the character progression in itself. However D1 lacks a good endgame (although some fellas did engage in PvP fights and PvP tournaments). But there are mods out there that expand the challenge in interesting ways.

D2 is more focused around build and playstyle variety, character progression and trading. It does have a bit of tactical gameplay but it's mostly common sense.

I think D1 is more single-player oriented where D2 is more multi-player oriented. I enjoyed a lot D2:R when it came out so I do like D2 too! I only place it below D1 because of personal taste.

At least you are going to the dentist. My uncle was not brushing his teeth. And never to the dentist. Eventually they had to remove all of his teeth because it was all infected and it was too unbearable for him.

I had a depression period of my life where I was doing the worst possible treatment to my teeth - was eating a lot of sugar and would skip brushing here and there; also I was not brushing effectively. My teeth are not in very good condition right now. I wish I had kept a good mouth hygiene even when I was depressed.

Maybe in your country. Here in France AirBnB are both cheaper and the rooms are nicer than hotel. Some of them could be landlords and profit.. but some others rent something that would not be fitting as a location (like a vacation flat or a subpart of a house) but is OK for staying just a couple of days.

So I disagree heavily with your generalisation

J'ai quitté Reddit pour de bon. Facebook j'y vais jamais - d'ailleurs ça m'est déjà arrivé de rater des événements car on m'avait invité sur Facebook mais comme j'y vais jamais.. je pense que éventuellement je vais carrément enlever Facebook.

Les autres réseaux sociaux j'ai jamais trop regardé. Instagram et TikTok sont arrivés après que j'ai fini mes années lycée. J'ai quand même regardé vite fait.. mais ça m'a pas convaincu donc j'ai désinstallé

Du coup maintenant j'utilise juste Lemmy, Discord et quelques groupes Signal

I disagree that you owe a face to face conversation. No one should forced to go meet someone if they don't feel like it.

In the context of dating, if you get ghosted, consider that the person is not interested in you after all - and just move on. No big deal.

Negativity. It's ok to criticize, but there was something about Reddit that encouraged people to bash each others until one side wins instead of agreeing to disagree and move on.

Be positive! If people find it fun it hurts no one

J'adore Star Realms ! Parties courtes, jeu très facile à transporter, et pourtant une sacré complexité de jeu qui peut aller très loin (il y a même un site dédié aux tactiques du jeu : megahaulin.com ; et des tournois).

C'est un deckbuilder sur un thème de combat spatial. Au début tu achètes des vaisseaux (que tu piocheras par la suite) qui te génèrent du commerce et des vaisseaux qui enlèvent les cartes nulles de départ ; puis au fur et à mesure de la partie tu transitionnes vers des achats de gros vaisseaux qui font beaucoup de dégats ou qui te protègent. Il y a 4 factions, chaque faction définit vraiment un archétype ; et il y a des rapports de force entre les factions (rouge => bleu => jaune/vert => rouge), ainsi que des bonus si tu joues des vaisseaux d'une même faction.

Le jeu de base est déjà très complet (je conseille de commencer par la version "Frontières" qui contient de quoi jouer jusqu'à 4 ainsi que des missions coop). Les extensions rendent le jeu encore plus intéressant. Et le jeu est vraiment pas cher

Parmi les choses qui m'ont aidé :

• laisser la lumière allumée le soir (éviter de geeker avec juste la lumière de l'écran)
• réduire la lumière bleue le soir (par exemple avec f.lux)
• ne pas jouer juste avant de dormir. Prévoir 1 heure avant le coucher où je ne geek pas.
• boire beaucoup, et bien manger aussi

Avant j'en avais 1 fois par mois voire deux. Et effectivement je geekais beaucoup trop (jusqu'à 2-3h du matin chaque nuit..), j'avais un mauvais rythme de sommeil (très chaotique); ça survenait dans les moments de grosse fatigue, mais aussi si je faisais un effort physique sans avoir assez mangé.

Au fil des années j'ai amélioré nettement ma qualité de vie, maintenant ça m'arrive peut être deux fois par an maximum.

Les médicaments c'est bien pour traiter les symptômes (et c'est bien d'en avoir sur soi), mais je pense que le mieux c'est de chercher à corriger pourquoi elles arrivent. Si c'est possible ! (c'est pas toujours le cas)

Selon l'instrument ça peut être compliqué de jouer tout en déambulant

I don't want them making money out of the content I voluntarily and freely created. I was contributing in subs like C_programming to help newcomers. I have been thinking that all these posts I made will help the next AI - and Reddit (not me) will get paid for it.

So I mass edited each post and comment I made. They won't get away with my data. My data belongs to me, not them.

D1 has a couple of tragic moments (the Butcher encounter as witnessed by the townsfolks, the end of the story itself) but overall it's more a story in a dark universe than a dark story where everyone loses people they care about.

D2 also has a couple of tragic places (I am mostly thinking of the Act 3 Zakarum Temple filled with blood; or the massacre in the Act 2 Palace) but you arrive after it happened. You don't see the deed happening. So it's more of a power story in a dark universe rather than a sad and dark one.

D3, well, is D3. Characters have as much power as gods, villains keep rambling endlessly about how they will shatter your world until you kill them, rinse and repeat.. It's power fantasy

But D4 is really a dark story. You don't just arrive after the fact like in D2, you really see massacres, dismemberment, sadism, blood sacrifices etc.. happening all over. And it's not just in a couple of places in the story. It's really everywhere. It's like the D4 writers passed the message "Each quest should have a grim ending". Or rather, they saw how people wanted Diablo to get darker after the D3 fiasco, so they listened (a bit too much) and cranked the button all the way to "grim" and "sad".

In general I have very mixed opinion about D4 story. It has just too much grimness. It's like every other person in Sanctuary is on a frenzy rampage to kill, eat or chop parts of their neighbors. And, on the opposite side of the spectrum, we have a certain prime evil reduced to bargaining with humans where they should be the very essence of terror/hatred/destruction... It does not make any sense

Larger instances will either have more donators or close their subscriptions if it really is unsustainable.

The more Lemmy grows, the more instances will show up, which will help spread the load.

You speak of sustainability but Lemmy survived the wave of incoming Redditors without much downtime. It's really impressive that this growth could happen. That's the power of decentralized systems: they scale!

Je ne suis pas trop Youtube ou les blogs du coup je ne peux pas te conseiller..

Mais je trouve ça super de poster en français alors que tu ne maitrises pas encore la langue :) N'hésite pas à participer aux différents sujets ici, je pense que tu peux apprendre beaucoup

Reddit broke my trust. No way I'm going back there unless a major change occurs such as the CEO leaving to make place for a new one who is not as profit driven. But no way that's gonna happen

Ich spreche nur ein bischen Deutsch aber ich verstehe dieses Meme !

La série The Expanse est intéressante pour voir quels dimensions pourraient prendre des combats spatials (en supposant une grosse évolution en terme de voyage inter planètes et de colonisation)

People will volunteer to do the job because it is something they (and everyone) needs done

I did volunteer work in several associations. From personal experience I can tell you that "someone will do it, a volunteer will rise" should not be relied upon. I have seen many instances of tasks that everyone was aware of, and yet no one wanted to do; even though they were important. At the end of the day, guess who completed them? The president of the association, because that's their responsibility ultimately; until they got sick of always doing these tasks so they did not want to be president again the next year.

In the case of a society where no one is responsible for given tasks, I can only guess that vital tasks would be left undone and the whole society would be collapsing. Imagine getting your electricity cut each day of "insert your most favorite celebration here" because no one felt like working during celebration day. Imagine fire becoming widespread and burning every building because at that particular day, there were not enough people with fireman skills around to extinguish the initial fire

We need to have assigned roles and responsibilities based on our skills. How do we do that in a world where you can say "Na, I know I'm the only expert on this available right now, but I don't feel like doing it today" and get away with it?

There is a gap between conceiving a system and maintaining it. Sure, there are architects who conceived sewers. But I doubt they went inside to maintain it on a regular basis.

I agree about teaching the ins and outs of each anatomy - like periods for girls and erections for boys. Could also teach them about pleasure - what are orgasms and how it works in the body.

But i don't think its the right age to teach how to give each other orgasms

I don't see how it's homophobic to be against sex education at 10 years old.

Doesn't it look a little young to you? Are you expecting a 10 yo child to engage in sexual activities?

Some people want to only recruit people that are less skilled by them so that they can remain in their position of power.

If you have a company with a few like that and several layers of recruitment I guess you can have a bunch of incompetent people spending their time in pointless meetings and not getting much done

I believe there will be life. Life always finds a way. Unless we get hit by an asteroid or a huge nuclear bomb..

However life will be much harsher. I believe the human population will be declining due to harsher living conditions. Entire species will go instinct for sure.

I think having no reputation point is a good thing, it gives no incentive to post low-effort content just to get reputation points.

Les fan fic de twilight ou harry potter renplis de faute dortografes auron toujour une place dan mon keur <3 <3 :3

je me rapele de tou cé moment sur skyblog xD mdr

(j'ai regardé des vieux mails de ces années, il y avait vraiment une époque où j'écrivais comme ça ! C'est fou)

One key difference I found is the lack of user karma. You have no incentive to post something "just to get karma" because there is no global karma on your profile.

This encourages to post what you want to post instead of posting something that someone posted years ago because it's easy free karma

I do not have much of a choice in this. No matter how good or bad Lemmy is, Reddit is not an option anymore for me: I do not want my data to get monetized. I should own the comments I write, not them. Also, the recent events really showed that Reddit administration board cannot be trusted: continuing to use Reddit would be silently supporting their behavior, which I just can't.

So far I like what I'm seeing in Lemmy. Yes, it's not as good as Reddit used to be, but I am sure that with time it will be similar to what I was experiencing. And I'm enjoying it already.

The changes include no longer requiring users to do basic research and lowering the standard for what the subreddit counts as spam.

I bet this is to fight against mass edit tools. I actually used one to edit all the comments I ever wrote. Got flagged seconds after by the subreddit of Fear The Walking Dead, permabanning me for spam.

Personally I don't care. At least now they don't have my data anymore.

Hello 👋

I love how this contrasts with the CEO statement that many subreddits would go back to normal after the 2 days

Au début je visais de faire grève juste les 2 jours. Mais au vu du comportement de Reddit, et vu aussi qu'en fait Lemmy c'est vraiment pas mal, maintenant je n'ai aucun doute que je vais quitter Reddit définitivement.

Je compte utiliser le logiciel qui modifie tous les messages pour effacer virtuellement mes commentaires et rameuter vers la plate-forme Lemmy.

I am not sure they are the best. I got permabanned once for posting a link to removvedit (a website to show removed posts). They did not just delete the post they really permabanned. I double checked the rules and saw no mention of this being forbidden before posting.

I tried appealing but they did not want to cancel the ban because I dared criticise their moderation (I found permaban to be very extreme and I disagreed with their decision).

Since that day I can't help but wonder how many users have been permabanned for small reasons

I am comparing a drug to a drug that's the whole point. Phones are drugs. For adults and children alike.

The problem is not in the phone itself. It's in the lack of doing things that kids should normally be doing at that age. They will play with their phone instead of playing physically (less tonus), sleeping (constant tiredness), talking with their parents (learning) or other kids (socializing).

I know kids like that in my family. You can tell from the dark lines under their eyes that they spend most of their day staring at a screen. And if you ask them to play outside they just don't know what to do, they need access to a screen even with other kids. It's really a scary sight. And its a drug yes

I'm all in to get programming classes where children learn to code on PCs. That's a high pass for me. But AFAIK children aren't doing programming on their phones.

In general i doubt using a phone at school is going to help them program or teach them about technology. They have plenty of time to explore phones on their own when they get home, especially now that kids don't go much outside anymore. It's not like a school ban would be cutting that away from them.

I was talking of the app Jerboa, not the Web browser (i assume that's the Web browser you are showing). But yes I could use the Web browser for this

It does on PC but not within the app. Although I could just use the PC to discover new communities and subscribe to them
