Ah, good point. Still something OP can find out by experimenting a bit and adjusting the amount where needed.

Any effect should be immediately obvious, shouldn’t it? If your clothes are still dirty after washing, that’s something you can see/smell/feel. Anything else that your average detergent claims to do is luxury.

Wot? Perplexity ai, that app that I have on my phone and that I sometimes ask random things when I want to be angry at something and that gives entirely useless and wrong answers 95% of the time? lollmaoeven

Because claps are the only currency accepted on the secret market where medical workers buy their groceries.

Of course, dear.

And? CEOs seem to be welcome there.

Or video games using noises that sound exactly like the fire alarm in my building.

What does that entail?

So did I exist before? Am I effectively offing myself? There’s too many unknowns here.

Depends. What’s the alternative?

Huel. I’m just waiting for some random internet person doctor to tell me how exactly I’m making my already shaky health significantly worse because I’m too lazy tired for anything more than powder in water.

Also, the decades-old radiator in my flat is probably just spewing all sorts of hazardous particles and nobody will know until they do an autopsy on me.

Because spez was being a dip shit. Other than that, yeah, idklol

Cat.

You’re not notified on Bluesky but since the information is public, there are services that let you look up if you’re on a list (clearsky.app is the most popular one - it might be the only one for now? idklol).

I’ve used it once to suggest a specific term that I’m going to use in my comic. I was utterly incapable of formulating a conventional search query for a search engine so, after endlessly browsing various thesauri, in the end I resorted to asking perplexity ai. Still took a bit and I had to fight it to get it to understand what I was asking but I did eventually find a term that fits. Felt dirty afterwards. Does that count as “productive”?

The only other thing was the title of a book I read 30 years ago and had only vague memory of. So I gave it an approximate description including a plot point I thought I remembered. The first result it gave me wasn’t it. But it claimed the plot involved the thing I remembered. I then asked again and the second result actually was the correct book - turns out I had almost completely misremembered the plot point but it still said “yep, this happens in this book”. Very weird experience.

Depends on context. A serious illness, a serious conversation, a serious movie all look different.

Or am I misunderstanding?

Ah, I see what you’re saying. That might be a way of looking at it.

Wouldn’t that make many (most?) news sites social media since they let you comment on articles? (IMDB dodged a bullet?)

I think you may not have scrolled far enough? The only paragraph I see that fits your description is in the middle of the article. It is unfortunately followed by a subscribe prompt which can be misinterpreted as marking the end of the article, so there’s that.

You don’t consider Lemmy social media? Honest question.

That’s an actual issue I see with this law: how does one define social media? I’ve seen YouTube described as social media which I find highly dubious but I can’t really explain why.
