This election, similar like the one in Romania demonstrated how possible is to manipulate people's beliefs by social media.

They are doing this on purpose to exhaust, and when we are exhausted they can get what they want.

Pick your battles, don't stress over things in advance that you can't control.

Zelenskyy: No world leader has the right to negotiate with Putin on behalf of Ukraine in c/world
[–] takeda 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So is Russia. Russia was unable to help Armenia, what we see in Syria, there are some signs of things breaking up in Libia, Georgia, we will see how Belarusian election will go in January, last time Putin needed to send his military to stop the protests.

The war economy cannot work forever and 2024 was estimated to be its peak for Russia.

The support the West is providing also is negotiable (compared to GDP) and if Russia will win in Ukraine we will have to spend 7 times more while being in actual war according to analysts.

The paper linking vaccines with autism was also retracted, and that didn't stop them.

If Ukraine loses we will have war with Russia (now able to use their resources and people) and we will have to send our soldiers.

Military analyst Anders Puck Nielsen, who was spot on with predictions when covering this war says that is we allow cease fire without security guarantees for Ukraine this ultimately will be victory for Russia.

It looks like the vast majority of people in the West don't really understand what this war is about.

Donald Trump says Canada becoming 51st U.S. state 'a great idea' in c/world

Much more likely with him taking over is the West and East Coast split up and became Canadian provides and him ending up ruling fly over states.

Ok so that's what the backup tire says 60psi.

When I first saw it, I thought that it has to be wrong and I'm looking at the wrong number.

Whenever I use gimp, and have to draw square, circle, text or a similar shape I swear I need to search the net for the answer.

You can do everything, but it is very counter intuitive to a noob. I don't need to use gimp/Photoshop so I regularly forget it and need to look it up every time. I'm sure that for somebody who uses it regularly it is intuitive.

From what I understand even if somehow the case would travel to federal court, apparently that still wouldn't change who could invoke a pardon.

Murder is tried under state law, so it is outside of president's control. Only NY governor could pardon him.

Fake Reddit comments generated by AI? (self.reddit)
submitted 8 months ago by takeda to c/reddit

So I ran Power Delete Suite as I periodically do. I have it configured to edit a comment and then delete it. It deletes comments that are older than 1 week old.

What was unusual was that within minutes I got the red envelope. And looking at it there was a response to a comment that I wrote 2 years ago.

So first thing is that as many were saying Reddit undeletes comments. I initially ignored that I saw some comments that I thought were deleted, but I assume it was because subreddits were locked and that's why they were invisible to Power Delete Suite, but this was on r/programming which was unlocked for quite some time (not sure if it ever was locked).

Second thing is the response within minutes.

So my 2 year old comment still exists and it's not showing up on my profile. I wouldn't even know about it is not for that response.

Of course this could be a coincidence, the account that responded to me is 9 years old, the content of it seems normal, although I saw comments on r/ChatGPT.

Though the timing bugs me off. If the comment is not from a real person maybe when Reddit restored it the AI code thought it was a new comment and responded to it.

Another thing that contributes to my suspicion of chatbots being deployed is that I noticed since the API protest and after they unlocked subreddits is that I get more upvotes and more responses than I used to.

Anyone observed something similar?
