I did some research on what would be a good OS for someone coming from Windows and at the time Linux Mint was recommended a lot so that's what I chose.

Yeah that is a likely outcome. I was just trying to stay positive and hope for the best. When I think about how bad things can get with the misuse of AI, it makes me kinda depressed.

Glad it's been reported. I just experienced the tag not working on Lemmy apps while it works fine on the desktop site and the mobile site.

Good point. I hope you're right that we're very far off from that reality. It's best to be prepared, though. Productivity increases from AI use across industries may bring us the hardware needed for encryption-breaking quantum computing algorithms sooner than we think.

Oh, okay I had no idea. Crazy how they bothered to trademark it but not do anything to support the mods of the AMA community, rather even actively harming them by firing the only person at Reddit that was helping them out, Victoria Taylor.

It's so crazy how they fired her. Reddit's leadership really loves to shoot themselves in the foot. I applaud the mods scaling back their AMA mod duties. No point in doing so much extra work for a community that reddit continually shows it doesn't care about and actively harms through their bad decisions.

I agree. Reddit didn't trademark AMA so that means we can use it too.

I don't like this at all, but I doubt it can be stopped. I hope at the end of the day, when AI adoption is widespread, AI will have improved the internet and our lives rather than make them worse.

I've always assumed private messages on any site can be read by the site's admin unless they are end-to-end encrypted.

Don't be too hard on yourself. It's hard to work when tired and I totally understand wanting to include the hair description if you thought it could be contextually relevant, and since you found out it's not, taking it out is the right choice. I'm not at all experienced in transcription for the blind so when I made my suggestion of clumpy afro-textured hair, at first I thought the point of the transcription was to be as detailed as possible while also being brief, so I thought the hair description had to stay in in some form. But now I see only contextually relevant info is needed. Good to know. We've both learned something in this, yeah? Thanks again for the work you do and being open to suggestions. You're awesome! 🙂

I tried the official app soon after it's initial release and didn't like it. Tried again the other day and it was even worse than I remember. It was ugly and slow scrolling on my phone. I deleted it right away. I don't mind using the reddit desktop site, if I go back for my niche communities until they make it to the Fediverse, but I'm no longer using reddit on mobile if I can't use my favorite 3rd-party app. Reddit even made it's mobile website annoying to use, trying push people to its app. I absolutely hate when sites do that.

EDIT: Alternatively, go here, switch the “Software” option to Lemmy at the top, and look for a server geographically close to you.

Oh, great tip! Thanks! It's interesting to see which servers are hosted in my state.
