I got accused of this the other day. Some random on Steam added me because he liked my profile pic. I was bored and decided to humor him. Two sentences in and he’s like “What’s with the ChatGPT sounding responses?”.

I honestly didn’t know how to react to that.

I was actually kind of hoping they would have been busted af on release to make people kick themselves for not going for them sooner.

Without a minimum weight requirement for detonation, these are strictly worse than all other mine variants, and mines are already a pretty bottom tier pick for anything past difficulty 4.

When I first signed up for reddit, the upvotes and downvotes were not only separately tallied, but also showed the usernames of the most recent people who did them if you hovered over the button. Then very shortly after that they changed it so that it made votes private by default, and you could override it in the settings, but almost nobody went to check that box back on. Eventually, they completely removed that feature around the time upvotes and downvotes were combined into one. which along with vote fuzzing was one of the worst changes to reddit comments, imo.

Lemmy feels like old reddit right now, which is a great spot to be in. I don’t think you necessarily need public vote info, but maybe it could be enabled on a per-community basis? I can see some communities like politics not wanting to add additional drama to the equation while other more content driven communities might enjoy knowing who was giving the feedback.

Huh. I was wondering why I turned in two samples in the early afternoon and then later that evening it was already completed. I thought maybe I misread the time remaining and the overall progress too.

Oh well, free 50 medals for me!

Pussy ass Texans won’t do it, no balls.

This looks like ransomware though, not phishing, so there’s no need to make up a dumb story at that point. They already got their victim, so it would be better to just ask for the money straight up without obvious errors or vague threats.

Also lol I doubt I would even care if I got ransomware on my phone, I’ll just reset to factory defaults or flash the BIOS.

It is time for communities to break free of walled gardens and take ownership of their existence online.

This has big “Landed Gentry” energy to it. These people really do think we’re fucking morons, don’t they?

For those of you who didn’t know about this, or did know and can’t get enough community pixel art fun, there’s an eternal canvas on https://pixelcanvas.io/ (beware: it’s completely unmoderated, so prepare to see some unsavory stuff on there.

This is probably just the first big wave. The biggest will be when the apps themselves actually shut down - fence sitters will then have to make a choice to download the official app or try an alternative and I think a lot of people will be curious to see if the grass is greener.
