It's because he called the event 'We, Robot'. So it's fairly obvious that he wants to draw parallels between Tesla's humanoids and the robots within the movie.

I was thinking about disabling explorer from running or at least kill it at boot up. And then using an alternative file explorer and task bar.

Linux doesn't have the breadth of programs available that Windows does. Programs developed for Windows are sometimes better than their FOSS equivalents. Eg. I pay for Office, partially so my parents can use it and partially because it's just a better set of programs than any of the FOSS equivalents. I generally only find the Linux programs are better when it comes to computer management and maintenance.

So I run Linux for servers and Windows for PCs.

What's an alternative to explorer?

Unfortunately, just switch to Linux is not an option.

You clearly haven't looked at either article. Parasocial relationships are weird.

I guess you're right because I didn't properly look at the hackaday article.

Alec has paraphrased the Tedium article. All of the talking points of Alec's video is in the article.

The hackaday article just summarised the 16 minute video into 4 short paragraphs and linked to Alec's video.

Edit: I like interactions like this (the comment thread since my first comment) because it highlights how easy it is for people to make judgements based on a lack of knowledge. It reminds me to try to not make assumptions.

I disagree with your statement about not seeing this type of behaviour on Reddit and it appearing civil and intellectual comparison.

Same SSDs are about 40% more expensive today than they were this time last year.

I think voting should be as what was originally set out by Reddit; I don't know if it's still in their guidelines. The voting system indicates the relevancy of the contribution and whether it adds to the discussion or not. Spam and off-topic contributions gets shoved to the bottom and everything else rises to the top.

Obviously most people on Reddit these days use it as a like/dislike, agree/disagree voting system as well.

Does Lemmy instance owners and community mods ban people for having a different opinion that's so benign?

Some Reddit mods attempt to be authoritative and ban people who hold different opinions to themselves. I know I have and I stay out of subs that relate to politics, the news, and anything divisive really.

 

It looks like there are many submissions now being downvoted across many subs.

Before the API change I never really noticed mass submissions with zero votes. Now i see multiple zero vote submissions daily and I browse Reddit for about 20 minutes a day. My feed is set to sort by hot, so I don't see many submissions that have just been created.

Is this a sign of the type of people using Reddit these days, a lack of moderation, or could there be some bots floating mass downvoting?

 

I've experienced it today where the app doesn't show the comment if I click one of my own comments or the reply to it. It shows the parent comment and other comments in the submission.

I've checked the modlog for the community and neither comment has been removed, so it looks like it's a bug with the app?

 

Is there such a thing as shadow banning submissions, comments, or users on Lemmy?

I'm having trouble seeing a couple of comments that I know were there at some points, one of them is my own and I haven't deleted it. So it got me wondering, is shadow banning a thing here.

 

I've noticed we have bots copy pasting Reddit submissions. Is there a method to block them all?

I assume they mean good by 'generating' content in communities, but I don't see a reason why anyone would comment on them since the OP is on Reddit and will never read them.

I know I can block each individual account as I come across them but I'd just prefer to block them all so I don't see their content at all.

They appear to do the nice thing by adding a line in the submissions about it being an automated submission. Is there a filter for words/phrase found in the body of a submission?
