World News@lemmy.world•SpaceX makes largest ever stock market debut, making Elon Musk world’s first trillionaireEnglish
7·4 days agodoes trillionaire just mean “has a trillion dollar credit line”?
I mean, that’s a pretty good position for him to be in. Probably better than having a trillion dollars in cash or hard assets.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done?
14·6 days agoWhenever I get a 3-day weekend, it feels like that’s how a normal weekend should be.
When I get a 4-day weekend, it feels luxurious.
Those 4-day work weeks are nearly as productive as the 5-day work weeks. Those 3-day work weeks are tight. But I could make it work if I really had to! Lmao

World News@lemmy.world•Pokémon Go data ‘exploited to develop navigation’ for military dronesEnglish
9·7 days agoThis is a bit of a questionable article. I gave a search for the quoted word “exploit”/ed from the title, and it didn’t have any hits in the article. So I’m not sure where it’s coming from.
The article doesn’t actually confirm that the data in Pokemon Go was used in military operations or for military technologies, but it does share the opinion of one person who believes it to be so.
But because this agrees with a bunch of people’s suspicions, people are accepting it at face value.
I feel like I could be running a locally-hosted LLM powered by renewable energy trained on open-source datasets and I’d still get angry comments from someone active in c/piracy

Where’s “here”?
Lemmy doesn’t have centralized moderation or administration. You’d have to bring it up with the admins (or mods, if applicable) of the server that it’s hosted on.
Otherwise, your only recourse is to inquire with the admins of your server (lemmy.world) to see if they’re interested in defederating from that instance due to the kinds of communities they have.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the best food you're had in another country that's not from that country?
1·9 days agoIsn’t making things themselves what restaurants are supposed to be doing? Not always, but a good restaurant would, at least.
It’s interesting. When speaking locally (at least in Canada and I’d wager the US as well), “not being interested in politics” is probably equally likely to mean:
- I have unpopular political opinions
- I don’t want to find out if you have unpopular political opinions
But yeah, when speaking with those from other countries, I can definitely see it meaning "I support what my country is doing that’s in opposition to your country.
I hadn’t realised how that differing context makes it so much more obviously one way.

World News@lemmy.world•Companies Are Using Reddit to Manipulate ChatGPT and Google AI SearchEnglish
2·10 days agoAnyone looking for answers in Reddit is a fool.
I understand that it’s cool to hate Reddit, especially on Lemmy, but that’s simply not true.
It shouldn’t need to be said that it’s not an encyclopedia or a definitive source of truth. But it’s a great place to get casual opinions, general advice, or recommendations.
Moreso before than now. But most of the “before” content hasn’t been removed.

People buy them for science.
People buy them to make honey.




I replaced Reddit scrolling with Lemmy scrolling. There isn’t as much content here, so I did add reading to the mix.
This also reduced the amount of time I spent writing comments on social media. That’s a great win, imo!
