Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

Yes.

Same, and sometimes “my little robot friend”.

It was invite only, not open registration, so not surprising they didn’t have many users. Although Bluesky is the same and that seems to have loads. Hmm.

I had an account but literally used it for five seconds and then largely forgot about it.

3D Monster Maze on the ZX81.

Maybe not very Halloween-y but definitely scary!

This is exactly the sort of thing AI should be used for - the stuff that humans can’t do. Writing nonsense articles or creating bad art should be left to the humans.

I would like to retract my previous comment.

Big Brother review – the original reality TV smash is now utterly, exhaustingly bland (www.theguardian.com)

Big Brother can claim to be the parent of modern reality shows. It started in 2000, suitably dystopian as we looked into the black mirror of an intimidating new millennium – and dozens of other brutish, tacky and vaguely exploitative contrivances followed in its wake. Two decades later, though, it’s a heritage format. Big...

Saw absolutely no need for this to return. It was already way past its best when C4 axed it.

Their logos are very similar. How many different ways can you stylise an “X” though?

There’s !britishcomedy

There are others which are more US-focused.

Which song would you nominate for a Fediverse-wide Songcontest as the entry for your server/instance?

Each year in europe, there is a so-called “Eurovision Song Context” going on, where each country of europe makes a song, which is performed on one evening. At the end there is a vote and one country wins. Now, if we would do the same thing for the fediverse: which song would you nominate for your server/instance?

i_am_not_a_robot,
@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

There is already Fedivision.

Monkey Island main theme, but the one from Tales as it’s shorter and doesn’t take ages to ramp up.

The system seems to be;

  • Add adverts
  • Make them more intrusive
  • Add more adverts
  • Make them even more intrusive
  • Everybody is fed up with adverts because there are now more adverts than content, so introduce paid version which costs more than the company would earn on ad impressions even for a heavy user, to remove ads
  • Next step might be to add some ads to paid version?
i_am_not_a_robot,
@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

Ads don’t particularly bother me but they do get tiresome when every other post is an ad. I don’t use FB though. YouTube ads are getting increasingly irritating - it seems that every two minutes during a video there will be an ad break, but I refuse to pay for a subscription for the small amount I use YouTube. I think there are some alternative interfaces which stop the ads but I keep forgetting to use/try them.

I think I only ever played the demo of this briefly.

Are there any instances similar to the meetup subs (r4r) to meet people or set up gatherings?

Back in the old read it days, I would browse the local meetup subs to join events and small social outings locally - but since I’m not using that platform anymore I’m a bit lost on find about local social gatherings. I would attend r posting of bar hopping, cinema groups, and park picnics around my town; however, I can’t...

Mobilizon is the Fediverse equivalent. joinmobilizon.org

It’s not well used though.

There are also location specific instances listed here: lemmy.world/post/1434929

Pi Hut have a makers advent calendar. It’s a Pico microcontroller and 24 projects. Maybe that’s more a leading up to Christmas thing? Not sure how much programming there is, it might be more electronics. thepihut.com/…/maker-advent-calendar-includes-ras…

BREAKING: Jeremy Hunt has been caught in a secret recording during a private meeting (twitter.com)

BREAKING: Jeremy Hunt has been caught in a secret recording during a private meeting with Tory activists suggesting that Sunak will call a general election once inflation has fallen below three per cent - giving the strongest hint yet that a poll will be held next autumn.

Quick, how do we get inflation down below 3%?

What's your favorite tool to track your reading habits? (kbin.social)

It used to be a todo list set up where I just check off and add whatever books caught my interest but it wasn't very shareable so I moved onto storygraph which I liked more than goodreads as the data visualization and breakdown of books via tags and moods gives me a better idea of where I tend to lean in books I seek out and...

The issue is that if a crime is committed then the police will be interested in gathering any video footage they can get their hands on (I’ve had it at work where I’ve been asked for CCTV footage from cameras that may have had an outside chance of capturing something important). If a company is sending robots out with cameras on them, and they are recording footage, then that footage is going to be requested (whether the company admits to working with the police or not).

Should there be this many cameras watching our every move? Probably not, but as the cameras are there, they are going to be used, and people should expect to be recorded - especially if they are committing a crime.

i_am_not_a_robot,
@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

Absolutely agree, that’s the stuff of science fiction and hopefully stays in the fiction realm.
