Technology@lemmy.world•Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public OpinionEnglish
3·4 天前The headline also does not say the same thing that the post claims!
Headline: “15% of content” --> every 6th or 7th post or comment is a corporate troll
Article: “15% of subreddits contain” --> the vast majority of subreddits contain no troll content
Actual study: [file not found]
I also cannot find any Pew research study resembling the one described. The link is a 2017 report that doesn’t mention reddit.
It’s called a jazz bar and they’re not that great.

Hi, mod here.
In the future, please avoid sharing links from news aggregators. Sharing from the original source helps community health by providing transparency, and allows others to avoid reposting the same article.
I keep adding oils of varying viscosities but it doesn’t seem to help.

The community rules don’t allow posting complete article text. Please edit this post to one or two key paragraphs to avoid removal.
These rules help keep our community safe, legal, and usable for everyone.
I can’t attest to any as I don’t use PDFs this way, but here are a few links:
All of these are self-hostable and FOSS. I’m not sure about NextCloud integration.
I think you may be thinking of LibreOffice

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is self-hosting on personal computer practical?English
201·13 天前Yeah, it’s better if you can have the computer on all the time, but it only needs to be running when you access it.
I’m not that familiar with FreshRSS, but in general apps will only update at opening (not in the background) for most syncing operations. You may have to do more manual syncing than you would like.

This is a user, not a community. They are downvoting across communities, including stalking people across communities to downvote all of their posts and comments, following communities just to downvote every post and comment, etc.
They downvote over 99% of the posts they see. Why seek out content you don’t like? It’s mildly infuriating. To me at least.

News@lemmy.world•New York teachers stunned to learn some students can’t read time on old clocks after phone ban comes into play
101·17 天前When I was a kid, we had whole educational units on this. Like with a special demonstration clock and worksheets and everything.
How are kids supposed to learn if schools don’t teach them?
I’ve shared several peer reviewed papers that show the opposite.
Science doesn’t take anecdotes.
Most food pantries and beds for the homeless in the USA are faith based. Here are the scientific papers that show it.
Assessing the Faith-Based Response to Homelessness in America: Findings from Eleven Cities
People claim money actually exists, too. It’s not an inherent property of human existence. It’s just an organizing principle that helps us coordinate resources.
It would be stupid if the main argument we had about money was whether on not it “exists.” By “stupid” I mean that it is counterproductive to the goals of bettering humanity. We don’t get anywhere with that discussion. Instead, we talk about how we should use use money as a tool to better organize our society. We talk about equity and advancement and poverty.
It’s the same with religion. It’s been well studied that religion offers social benefits:
Association between spirituality/religiousness and quality of life 2021
Assessing the Faith-Based Response to Homelessness in America

63.2% food pantries are identified as being faith-based food pantries
With this being Lemmy, I don’t have to highlight the negative consequences of religion.
The point is that we should be advancing beyond the kindergarten level discussion about what’s real and what’s make-believe. Intelligent people should instead be engaging on how we can ensure religious beliefs are fostering social trust, or how to recognize and combat religious extremism.













Just to be clear, companies know that LLMs are categorically bad at giving life advice/ emotional guidance. They also know that personal decision making is the most common use of the software. They could easily have guardrails in place to prevent it from doing that.
They will never do that.
This is by design. They want people to develop pseudo-emotional bonds with the software, and to trust the judgment in matters of life guidance. In the next year or so, some LLM projects will become profitable for the first time as advertisers flock to the platforms. Injecting ads into conversations with a trusted confidant is the goal. Incluencing human behaviour is the goal.
