thanksforallthefish@literature.cafeto Technology@lemmy.world•‘The Worst Internet-Research Ethics Violation I Have Ever Seen’ | The most persuasive “people” on a popular subreddit turned out to be a front for a secret AI experiment.English2·5 days agoUsers aren’t likely to point out a bot when the rules explicitly prevent them from doing that.
In fact one user commented that he had his comment calling out one of the bots as a bot deleted by mods for breaking that rule

(See Prime Minister Menzies controversy)
Could you expand on that please ? I assume you’re not referencing Gough Whitlam’s dismissal by the GG at the behest of the CIA ?
I’ve had a quick search and can’t find anything pointing to conflict between Menzies and the Crown, nor anything suggesting the monarch or the GG booted him out. Could be a searching failure on my part of course so info appreciated

Public torrents need your helpEnglish1·6 days agoGiven it looks like you’re the only seed (and a quick check on lime torrents only has 1 seed for the new normal s01 ep 1-22 (I assume that’s the above ?) then yeah, you’re the only one fighting the good fight ! Don’t stop :-D
EDIT
Bollocks to bad search techniques - it seems there’s about 4000 seeders for multiple different copies of it (the above version does indeed only have one though). I just thought “sod it, if there’s only 1 seeder I’ll help out”. Went and looked again <sigh> Help not needed.

Public torrents need your helpEnglish2·6 days agoThere is not always demand, you need to leave the torrent app running in the background when ever you have the PC on - then when someone wants it you’ll get a connection.

The unspecified “they” reads like you think Meta have strict ethical rules. Lol.
Meta have no ethics whatsoever, and yes I assume you meant universities have strict rules however the approval of this study marks even that as questionable
thanksforallthefish@literature.cafeto Technology@lemmy.world•‘The Worst Internet-Research Ethics Violation I Have Ever Seen’ | The most persuasive “people” on a popular subreddit turned out to be a front for a secret AI experiment.English8·6 days agoWhile that is indeed what was reported, we and the researchers will never know if the posters with shifted opinions were human or in fact also AI bots.
The whole thing is dodgy for lack of controls, this isn’t science it’s marketing
thanksforallthefish@literature.cafeto News@lemmy.world•Democrats vote against gun control in surprise move8·6 days agoWhat in hell is an “assault pistol” please ?
I think we all stopped charging the enemy waving a pistol during WW1 didnt we ? This feels like something from a Blackadder episode.
It’s referenced in the newsweek article. I read the wiki which says Hawaii have defined it, but the wiki links dont actually go to a definition.
The vast majority of pistols sold are semi auto, and they all have a pistol grip which, as I understand it are 2 of the main characteristics used to define assault weapon in the US
Confused foreigner.

yet still barely over the left centre part of the political spectrum
Yeah, I chuckled at that. Labor is centrist with MPs soft right and soft left around the centre. The Greens are left but they lost 2 seats.

thanksforallthefish@literature.cafeOPto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Please seed !! Public torrents need your helpEnglish4·8 days agoYou’ve had a good answer by letstakealook, but just to expand on one point, you need to leave your torrent application (qbittorrent or whatever) running in the background for an extended period. If you close the app and don’t load it again after you’ve got the download then you’re not seeding - seeding means to share it to others after you’ve finished downloading
thanksforallthefish@literature.cafeOPto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Please seed !! Public torrents need your helpEnglish16·8 days agoYou can seed without port forwarding, it just means the other side needs to have it.
Just keep your torrent client running and people will connect

Everything can be reverse engineered, obviously in some cases it’s not economical, but John Deere tractors and their obnoxious lockdowns are a classic case of where this leads to genuine value for people. JD robbing the farmers of the ability to perform simple repairs and charging huge bucks to do them ends up with costs on your grocery bill. This bill doesn’t directly impact that I don’t believe but it’s the simplest clearest example of why this is important.
This is brilliant news - we’re all better off for it.

I think the implication is that Mango making the US no longer a secular power facilitated this.
