I browse all but I have an extensive set of word filters that block stuff that I don't want to see. I like seeing new communities come up and trying to make All work because of that. I did the same thing with Reddit like 20 years ago, though I switched to a subscribed feed there once they got big (before I left). This strategy works well for me.

What does the scouter say about his power level?

True, but the principle behind the post is the beauty here. When not using the API, it costs these companies an unsustainable amount of money to make their models listen to fart sounds. I don't use any AI myself, but I support anyone who wants to abuse the flat monthly subscription to make a company burn through money so that a plagiarism model can praise fart sounds.

I wrote the snippet. I mentioned why I phrased it as such elsewhere in thread:

I've found that people misinterpret percentage decreases as odds ratios unless I include the negative sign. The negative sign following decrease language is at best redundant and at worst actually means what is technically opposite to what I want to convey, but including it appears to make things clearer for folks for whatever reason.

Lemmy seems to be better than Reddit in this regard, given that I've now twice commented the explanation. Perhaps I'll try without the negative sign in the future.

I've literally made the same exact meal for breakfast and dinner every single day for the last four years straight. Lunch changed because of an external factor, but I've had the same meal for lunch every day for about six months now. The meme isn't referring to making your favorite meal, it's referring to making the only thing you eat for that meal, ever.

As someone who worked at more than one grocery store where the manager scheduled more people per week if someone needed to constantly be on cart duty (e.g., during the winter, because folks were less likely to put their carts back during the cold), I often don't put my cart back in the correct spot. I do so because at the stores I worked at, that would help people who want more hours be able to make a case for those hours to the manager. I often had to do so when I wanted more hours, and I was the person who did the carts. I never do this when cart duty is otherwise hard (e.g., late at night, in the cold, in the summer heat, etc.)---in those cases, I always bring my cart back inside of the store and put it completely away.

So, yes, but there are sometimes reasons to do something besides what's courteous.
