A few different reasons

1. Promoting smaller instances, because of the volume of my posting it helps makes smaller instances more recognizable
2. Making comms on fitting smaller instances (e.g. a programming comm id make on programming.dev)
3. Mitigating against the imposter problem
4. Better interconnecting smaller instances

I used to think they were AI so skipped a few on my .ml cross-posting campaign, but they have provided documentation of their workflow (https://reddthat.com/post/58923858) of which seems real enough to me and have thus resumed cross-posting as encountered. If you have reason to doubt their documentation, please share

As far as the trolling, I have had limited interaction with them but it was pleasant enough

You could probably get away with small claims court tbh, big companies tend to just not even show up esp if the claim isn’t outrageous lmao

Ofc that could change if tons of people start doing it lol

“That Moment When”

Similar to TFW “That Feeling When”

This is so useless even for me, I mean really how hard would it have been to just search “royalty free woman face shocked stock photo”‽

What incentive would they have to develop a callback system

Well they don’t develop it, it’s a feature of whatever PBX/VoIP system they went with.

and use it, but delay the callbacks?

It wouldn’t be the first nonsensical business decision that businesses latch onto for reasons. You could ask 10 different call center employees and get 10 different reasons why. I’ve personally heard a few different reasons from inept managers, call center staff being paid min wage so they don’t care to people on the call back list get placed in a lower priority queue

The estimated hold time, IME it’s not the most accurate thing in the world, but probably won’t be off by whole hours

I base it off the estimated hold time it tells you, IME it’s not the most accurate thing in the world, but probably won’t be off by whole hours

You’re lucky then, every time I’ve tried I either don’t get a call back or it’s hours later when just waiting would have only been 20 minutes

Seems to have been mitigated as well

Lol you shouldn’t believe random posts, I haven’t been banned from any instances except .ml, for obvious reasons

While the environment is a valid argument against, “politically” is very different. Even accounting for trumpy and the right-wing nut jobs, this is still the safest period in humanities history to have kids

Clearly it was this company lobbying for the murder industry!

Oh, you’re referring to the crossposting from .ml comms because of their authoritarian ideology (see below)

That doesn’t apply here though, nearly all of the linux content I post is sourced and posted independently

Well ig I did post a Phoronix article on it a few days ago, but in any case these aren’t “copypasta” these are reputable outlets publishing this, I just copy the first couple paragraphs of the article for posting.

So, if you have a problem with how these reputable linux news outlets are publishing it, you’ll have to take it up with them. I’m not personally writing these articles lmfao

They were so close to pulling off a Spotify, but they just had to chase that extra fucking dollar >:(

I hope so lol

I know what you mean, but high compression/poor quality file artifacting does the same kinds of “blending”

But I don’t believe it to be AI because it’s way too consistent and small details that actually make sense. Like towards the end where the doggo is giving the treat side glances

Now faked with a dog trained specifically to do it, rather than something the dog just decided to do is on the table for sure, but hey AtLeastItsNot.Ai lmao

Internet poisoned brain

Sir, that’s called brain rot now
