  • Basically, yes.

    If I were an alien and you walked up to me and said, “Good Morning”, and I looked around and everyone else said “Good Morning”, I would respond with "Good Morning ". I don’t know what is “Good” or “Morning”, but I can pretend I do with the correct response.

    In this example “Grok” has no context on what is going on in the background. Musk may have done nothing. Musk may have altered the data sets heavily. However the most popular response, based on what everyone else is saying, is that he did modify the data. So now it looks like he did, because that’s what everyone else said.

    This is why these tools have issues with facts. If 1 + 1 = 3, and everyone says that 1 + 1 = 3, then it assumes 1 + 1 = 3.


  • I love pineapple and really strongly dislike it on pizza. The only time I’ve had “acceptable” pineapple on pizza is when it was chopped up really tiny and I could barely taste it.

    My problem with pineapple on pizza is,

    • Hot/warm pineapple is gross.
    • Pineapple makes the pizza watery.
    • Pineapple adds a sweetness that a pizza just doesn’t need. It detracts from other flavors.
    • Again hot/warm pineapple tastes gross.



  • As you mentioned elsewhere it’s encrypted.

    Take a look at /etc/crypttab and creating and adding a key file that can unlock the drive.

    Essentially your additional SSD will have both a password and a file containing a password that can unlock the drive. When you unlock your root filesystem (I’m guessing at boot) it will then have the key file that can unlock the SSD.

    Something like cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/pathtossd --new-keyfile /etc/newpassword

    Systemd might make this easier to setup nowadays.

    Edit: Also, yes, the password to unlock your SSD is just sitting in a file in your root drive. Be sure to restrict it to only be readable by root.


  • Oh I completely agree. There is a reason it took me a while and careful observation before I figured it out.

    I assume it’s part of, or started as, a little password dance. Something like, “abc123DEF”.

    Or maybe it just comes from the idea that only a single key can be pressed at a time?

    Either way I completely agree, insane.



  • Really hoping for real API access and third-party apps.

    I mean that’s the only way it will have any success. I don’t expect it to happen, but that’s historically how any of these sites have grown and flourished.

    It would be funny if Digg was able to successfully reboot and take users away from Reddit, however I don’t expect it to actually happen.

    Also, stating the obvious, time would be better spent improving Lemmy.

    I agree, but it’s more common than you’d think.

    I used to work at an organization that used Chromebooks, which replaces the caps lock key with a search key (same shape, different behaviour). I was surprised at the number of people who struggled with their passwords because they would hit the “search” key, enter a single letter, and then hit “search” again. It took me a little while to figure it out because… Who does that?

    Yes you do? If the moderator or admin of your instance doesn’t like something, it’s gone.

    Sure you could post to another instance, but the line of posting to another instance or posting to another service is a thin one.

    I fully agree that Bluesky is far from the distributed haven it might claim to be, but just because it makes a decision that any Fediverse instance might have made doesn’t mean it’s over.

    Bluesky has problems, but those problems are still within the realm of fixable. Fediverse alternatives may be better, but Bluesky is still fine.
