People aren't supposed to upvote or downvote posts for these kinds of reasons here.

Agreed, but scrolling past or hitting - were apparently off the table for the complainers. So flagging was yet another tool in their toolbelt and I bet a powerful one at that. If simonw's pelican posts routinely went dead from flagging, he would not make them. You know that, I know that.

The pelican test continuing to be taken seriously is a great example of that kind of echo chamber.

You can try and support that argument if you like. But I would implore you to realize that it has been had many times recently and the other side does in fact find value and do not see it that way.

He metaphorically does because people upvote his pelicans to the top and the ensuing comment threads are massive/bloated.

Users upvote the pelicans because they find it interesting. they arent paid trolls or simonw fanatics.

Huge amounts of the readership of this website are lurkers who don't even know how to hide these giant posts.

They can learn... it's called hackernews. For those interested, that is what the [-] link is for above the comment. Use it and move on.

If enough people agreed with you, simonw's top level comment would be grey. It isn't. Not every comment is for every person, that is fine and normal. He didnt hijack a popular thread in here to make his post. He doesnt have a tin can in your face shouting from a soapbox that makes it hard to ignore. Flag or ignore are reasonable options that can be used.

Will it? Bedrock doesnt have deepseek v4, GLM 5.2, Qwen 3.6, minimax m3.

A user would go into a women's x profile, find a recent post and publicly @ the grokbot to remove her clothes. You don't believe that this is a well thought out and acceptable design and no fault lies with X?

I do not have unlimited time. If enough of this community flags an article as low caliber AI, that is useful to me. The whole idea of a site like this is that the community IS judging the content at some level to up/down vote.

ChatGPT Work 13 days ago

I ended up going the with gemini to provide sota ai to my family in an affordable way. You could always make your chatgpt sub accessible to your family via discord with a bot that codex can produce in under 5mins.

And their constant flipflopping is why they lost their Goodwill with me. It was too much work just to make sure I wasn't breaking their AUP week to week. They will say one thing and then directly contradict it in a social media post. I was constantly losing features that were the reasons I signed up with them.

The Vespa at 80 18 days ago

my 2022 vespa gets over 65mpg and I don’t need to move 2,000 lbs of metal to get around. I assure you it is better for the world than driving an car.

That'd be mostly a net-positive since mail-in voting seems to be hard to get right in your country

Strawman. You might have the belief that it’s hard to get right, but that seems based on the American news sources you are consuming from your spit in the world. In reality, there are very little issues with this.

Immich 3.0 20 days ago

Man, I wish my experience was as nice. I used the proxmox lxc for it and after a 2 months of organizing I had some corruption and didn't have the fortitude to get through the debugging. It might have been related to a big version migration if I remember correctly. It turned me off the stack. The upgrading wasn't as turnkey as I wanted it to be and I dont think the case is different today.

I just want to be able to organize my folders outside of some dumb library system and immich at the time fought that as well.

Foreseeable corruption by the state. A further slip into cronyism. A large puzzle piece that when simply connected with the recent actions like demanding shares in companies, removing funding for energy projects not aligned with other lobbies, pardoning of white collar criminals. It seems pretty plain and obvious the type of disasters that await.
