I wanted to start a discussion about the use of AI-generated solutions on Programming.dev. Personally, I've found that AI-powered tools have been incredibly helpful in solving programming questions. I won't name any specific commercial software, but I use one that combines GPT-4 and web search to get more factual information. I write some answers I think I might revisit to the ShareGPT community, but I would prefer posting programming solutions to this instance. However, I'm not sure if AI-generated solutions are welcomed on programming.dev. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. If AI-generated responses are accepted, how should we format the answers, should we just copy paste without quoting, should we quote the model, just mention that it's AI-generated,...?

I'm wondering if it's possible to see the local feed of another instance from the one I'm using. I'm interested in exploring content from other instances without having to visit every single community, but I'm not sure how to do it. I've tried searching for a way to do this on the documentation and using the Lemmy search, but I haven't found any clear instructions. Does anyone know how to see the local feed of another instance? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

In Lemmy, the active filter view is designed to prioritize posts with the latest activity, similar to how forums work. However, it remains unclear whether commenting on your own post in Lemmy will bump it on the active filter view. Some forum platforms, such as Discourse, allow a practice known as the "ghost bump," where users can make a post and delete it to draw attention to their post without adding new content[^1]. While it is uncertain if this is possible on Lemmy, it's worth noting that even if it were, it would result in an unnecessary comment that cannot be completely removed. The comment would still be visible, indicating that it was deleted by the post's creator. If you have any experience with Lemmy's active filter view or know whether commenting on your own post bumps it, please share your thoughts in the comments below.

As an enthusiastic supporter of Lemmy, I am eager to contribute to the project. However, I hold strong reservations about writing a single line of code for a project hosted on a Micro$oft server. While I have created a few issues on GitHub, I firmly believe that my contributions could be significantly amplified if there were a mirror of Lemmy that utilized Forgejo hosting outside the United States. I would be absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to contribute more actively to this incredible project if such an alternative hosting option were available.

Recently, I found myself questioning the accuracy of a diagnosis provided by a doctor I visited. Surprisingly, an AI seemed to offer a more insightful assessment. However, I understand the importance of not solely relying on AI-generated information. With that in mind, I'm eager to discover a reputable online platform where I can seek medical advice. Ideally, I hope to find a community where I can obtain multiple opinions to make a more informed decision about my health. If anyone could recommend such a site, I would greatly appreciate it.

French courts have been imposing disproportionately severe sentences for minor offenses, including 10 months in prison for stealing a can of Red Bull and one year for a homeless boy with schizophrenia caught looting a luxury store. The overwhelmed courts rush cases, provide minimal time for defendants, and prioritize punishment under the instruction of the Justice Minister. Furthermore, the French government is censoring social media and justifying it by claiming to protect public order, but it infringes upon free speech and mirrors tactics used by authoritarian regimes. The justice system exhibits a double standard, favoring the privileged, and creates a class divide, leading to unrest. Ironically, the government compares itself to oppressive nations while undermining democratic principles.

I feel like this is what happened when you’d see posts with hundreds / thousands of upvotes but had only 20-ish comments.

Nah it's the same here in Lemmy. It's because the algorithm only accounts for votes and not for user engagement.

Imagine an AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) that could perform any task a human can do on a computer, but at a much faster pace. This AGI could create an operating system, produce a movie better than anything you've ever seen, and much more, all while being limited to SFW (Safe For Work) content. What are the first things you would ask it to do?

I thought it was a great idea when I read it in this comment. That way, if you didn't want to hear about Reddit, you wouldn't have to.

Maybe I've installed too many plugins? I have close to 20.

Edit: It was just an issue on Arch Linux.

No, I am 40 plugins all active and they have not changed my browser load time almost at all.

Make sure there are no other issues. If you are on Arch Linux, there is a problem with xdg-desktop-portal-gnome that if installed will slowdown loading of many programs.

TLDR: Subreddits are protesting against Reddit's API changes, and r/pics, a subreddit with over 30 million members, has marked itself as NSFW (not safe for work). This means that advertisements can no longer be displayed alongside posts in the subreddit. The protest started in June when thousands of subreddits participated in a blackout to protest Reddit's plans to charge for API access. The changes have resulted in third-party apps like Apollo shutting down. As part of the protest, r/pics initially only allowed images of comedian John Oliver to be shared and later amended its rules to allow media featuring Oliver, including erotic fan fiction. The subreddit's moderators posted an "open letter" reminding the community not to swear, as marking the community as NSFW would deprive Reddit of advertising revenue. Reddit has reportedly removed mods for marking their communities NSFW as a protest. Despite this, r/pics was officially marked NSFW on Monday. Other subreddits, such as r/videos and r/funny, are also protesting in their own ways.

The unpopular ones can be used since they don't reach the API calls free limit.

RemindMe bot is no longer functional following the API pricing change, and many Redditors are still unaware of this fact.
