I get what you’re saying, like the DuckDuckGo subreddit is also DDG’s primary support channel - but appeasement is not a winning strategy. Eventually DDG and every other niche will have to figure out how to break up with Reddit, better to get ahead of it than cling to the sinking ship.

3·19 days agoIt is a problem how Reddit became a de facto aggregator of support channels, not just hobbyist communities. DuckDuckGo’s sub is the primary DDG support channel, among countless other examples. It positions Reddit as the gatekeeper of Beijing-style “social credit” and getting banned there is tantamount to being Unperson’ed in some contexts.

18·25 days agoit’s almost like these global megacorporations can’t be trusted to quality-control anywhere they think they can get away with selling garbage. I hope India considers antitrust action, criminal prosecution, and nationalizing instead of slap-on-the-wrist fines.

2·1 month agoIt’s integral to the genre that sometimes we say “that’s a mystery, we just don’t know”
I think your reasons are much more complex than “the father’s age” and you’re doing yourself a bit of injustice to reduce it to that. My biological father was a narcissistic dirtbag, so from that platform of experience I can attest that knowing one’s biological parent is no particular guarantee of best life.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•It's valid to assume homeless people who ask for money are just trying to get drugsEnglish
9·1 month agoComplex topic. I’d add that a lot of drug-seeking stems from trauma. Our society has so very little support for survivors. They need so much more than a meal, a clean change of clothes, and a safe place to shower so they can attend a support group in dignity. Handing a beggar ten bucks for a bottle of booze is by far the cheaper band-aid act of kindness if you’re not going put them in psychotherapy.

Art Share🎨@lemmy.world•Requesting permission to continue sharing art.English
4·1 month agoI agree LLMs can be useful, but it’s a contentious side topic in the art world. I find it avoids a lot of tedious opinionation if I just verify LLM outputs against reputable information sources.
In this case, you uploaded your art to an LLM and it identified similarities to Orphism, so hopefully you went to Wikipedia or whatever to verify key features and artists of Orphism, and saw for yourself why the label fits your work. Now you can talk about your piece in terms of what you know about similar work, without having to weather tedious emotional sidetracks into the complex ethics of LLM use-cases.
