OP is expecting the deletion of posts and comments to federate in the same ways posting them would. I don’t think they’re necessarily going scorched earth and care about someone quoting their comment in a reply or resharing a photo.

I think that’s a bit grandiose of a stance. If I misread what someone said or realized someone already said what I did I don’t think deleting it leads to any kind of growth.

That’s setting aside how draining it can be to reply to several people who are making the same argument about how you are wrong. If I couldn’t delete what I posted at that point I would just be creating a slew of edits to justify myself like people regularly do on Reddit whenever they get downvoted.

But that’s not what is being talked about. I don’t think OP is expecting an all or nothing situation. You’re talking like you’ve never deleted anything online

But deleting stuff is an easy way to limit the amount of potential viewers.

Most people aren’t going to put in the effort. If OP’s account deletion spreads across most of Lemmy, even just the larger instances, most people aren’t going to see their older posts.

That seems to be what OP is after. More in line with hiding poorly written Doctor Who fan fiction than hiding from the government in the woods.

Don’t you think that’s shifting the goalpost a bit? OP isn’t talking about something being archived they’re talking about a piece of content on social media still directly linking to that username.

Deleting things in as many places as possible making it harder to access is still a net positive.

It’s about as much of a part or mechanic of Lemmy as posting is.

For those interested Neocities is a modern equivalent. The homepage has some featured pages linked you can browse if you are looking to kill time.

Scraper can grab video game maps and manuals automatically as part of it’s process if you want them for older games.

Hell yeah. I tried to train one to feed me misinformation and encourage bad habits like drinking and driving and it was a lot more fun and lively than anything else I’ve seen

Yeah I feel like having control over the things you use is definitely a big part. Something that really hampers my enthusiasm for AI is that so much of it is out of my control and generally disconnected from me.

Having AI that I can modify and run locally on my devices seems a lot more sci-fi than something that can relies so heavily on the Internet and rigid responses.

I find it’s a lot of those ideal use cases I find futuristic. The RISC V architecture and Briar are kind of similar. They’re really neat and I could see some cyberpunk style uses for them but the drive for their adoption and the level of it just doesn’t seem to be there yet.

I feel like that really depends on how you view futuristic.

I think things with colored e-ink displays, USB C chargeable AA batteries, handheld emulators, 2230 NVMe drives, and USB C power portable displays are really cool but I feel like their availability these days has made them lose a bit of their futuristic luster. They would have blown my mind when I was a kid.

More niche products like Meshtastic and ESP32 Marauder devices are things I view as futuristic (and can be found for under $100).

Yeah. I feel like the headline also misrepresented the extent of what happened.

But the firm rejected claims about the extent of the damage caused by the unnamed individual, saying they “contain some exaggerations and inaccuracies”

Is probably the key takeaway and a good summary of what the article is about

Two - and I don’t mean this in a snarky or dismissive way - you might believe you’re good at reading emotions, while not being as good at it as you think. I don’t know you, so that could be way off base, but it’s definitely something worth having a think about.

I’ve been thinking about this for a few days now since you commented this. I honestly think you might be right and it’s a kind of stunning realization for me.

I feel like it’s really present in my romantic relationships. There’s a lot of times I awkwardly handled things or caused something to veer off in a bad direction. Even now I’m still really bad for asking people I date if they’re mad at me whenever they’re upset and I don’t know why for example

Thanks for your response. If you don’t mind me asking what kind of negative reactions did you have regarding your diagnosis?

Were they dismissive or said it must have been incorrect?

I can’t really imagine people making jokes when they find out someone is autistic in the way they do when they find out someone isn’t straight

What kind of records are there for things like that in the US?

I guess my fear is not really knowing what the typical minimum is considered for the spectrum and being abruptly dismissed like when I originally tried to get help for my ADD when I was a lot younger.

It’s more the need aspect you mentioned that I’m talking about. People living with what works or is good enough. I feel like it can be totally be intentional. I imagine a lot of people just sleep with a mattress on the floor because they don’t feel like a bed frame is necessary for example.

Where people draw the line is one of the things I’d find interesting if that makes sense

What would be something homey but not presentable?

I get you. I rarely have other people over. I feel like if I had to start over, like if my place burnt down, I would live more like that

Gotcha. I feel like they might have the recliner there to potentially have easy access to the counter and outlet that’s also nearby

Like the post says this isn’t my place it’s a really common meme and meme template. I’m looking for communities of people who live like this.

It’s kind of minimalist but without the stressed cleanliness and lack of all clutter
