Crypto Bros Losers would be really mad at reading that, if they weren’t busy fellating the owners of BoredApes after they made them blind.
…
What? No, that’s not a joke.

“Had a good time with the homies who also got their eyes burned”. These people are unbelievably down there in the pathetic human scale.
I prefer transmuting goblin to gold. Quite a curious spell, only works on those who mock magic.
No one. This is just a thread for terminally online religious fanatic teenagers who forgot to pick a religion. That’s why they care so much and use 4chan-loanes words like Janny.
Normal people will take a look, hear about how people want to fuck simba, and just move on.
If anyone wants to break ChatGTP the easiest way, right now it’s to ask it to do riddles until it gets stuck in the fire or water riddles. They’re extremely similar, and extremely typical of a generic riddle format, and ChatGTP… Mixes up the two all the time.

Remember how they took gold awards, a user made bot, and monetized it?
I’ve seen absurd scenarios where a 2 vs 4 is won by the 2, but generally, the team with the more people wins.
Let’s talk value. You can generate more money by making a single last hit per minute than a leaver gives you passively (25 gold per minute for a single leaver), in fact, a leaver is comparable to the money aura one of the neutral rats has, which is unanimously agreed to be the worst passive skill Doom can copy in the jungle. In fact a teammate can even generate you more gold by being present, all they have to do is stack the jungle once every 3 minutes and done, they’re far more valuable than a leaver.
But a leaver means you lost a teammate which means one less source of stuns and whatnot. You have less actionable manpower in return for that marginal amount of money. And that’s just not comparable. Even an item-less Sven can stun your enemy core and buy you 3 seconds of free hits on them. You have to pay 6000 gold and use up a slot and lose the timed-opportunity to buy something else for that effect with items.
With more and more leavers, this becomes more complicated. Yes, each of you individually gets more gold. 66 gpm with two leavers. But, if you’re at 3 and below players a problem occurs: The map becomes too big and wide for all of you. You don’t have enough manpower. You become susceptible to ganks and splitpushes.
Allow me to elaborate: Dota is a game with three primary driving tactics in roughly a rock paper scissors disposition. Splitpushing beats Grouping Up, Grouping Up beats Ganking and Ganking beats Splitpushes. With 3 and less players you largely lose access to anything other than grouping up and pushing. Because if one person is told to defend or farm alone, they get ganked. If you try to push, you get enemies forming distractions elsewhere that you can’t respond to without losing firepower.
Let’s push as 3. You can still win a 3 vs 5. Enough items and spells to go around and maybe you blow someone up and make it a 3 vs 4. Easy win! Okay, but what about… You can win a 3 vs 4 + a splitpusher. But are you faster at winning a fight AND pushing than someone pushing solo unimpeded tho? And you can win a 3vs3 and push… before losing two towers against individual splitpusher solos either. You’re now entering the realm of trading towers at a loss. But worse - the solos can even split a tower AND cut your wave behind you. Basically, they waste your time and take value, and next time, they’ll do it better.
So, just tp someone back to deal with it? Or blink backwards? Congrats, now it’s a 2vs4, or gasp a 3vs1. Kill them near your base? Your tp is on cooldown and you have to walk back to push with your other allies - oh oops, they’ll revive in time to defend. No progress. How do they even know where you’ve been moving? Oh, right. They have 2 supports that can afford to ward and give vision instead of focusing hard on objectives.
The longer it goes, the worse for you. Take rosh? Lose a tower. Chase with two top into the jungle? Yeah they were in your triangle and top jungle taking turns shoving the other waves and are now at your Tier 3 lowering your future gold. You think you got a kill on two, but they pushed and got tormentor and now venomancer has something that will waste 2 seconds of your BKB that your leavers didn’t even fully pay for a third of.
It’s actually a good sign that you may believe a leaver impacts the team positively as that might mean the people you’re playing with are just… Too bad at dota to strategize like this. But it should not, under any circumstances, be representative of higher tiers of play unless of someone lucks the shit out of what heroes they had. Ember Spirit, Nature’s Prophet, Tinker, Old TA aghs, and a couple others can handle player deficits better than most. The 2vs4 won by the two? It was a Nature’s Prophet and a Pugna microing the leavers, one of which was a naga who could push with illusions and sing to stall the 4. Luck played a gigantic part in that win.
It’s weirdly also good that you see leavers with some frequency too, it means that the game didn’t lump you with smurfs. Players leave game less often the more dota they play.
Firefox did the same.
And I actually love it.
You’re saying this… On Lemmy. You do know we have three different “trending” settings here, right?
I honestly much prefer the idea of a chronological feed too, but disagree that’s what kills a platform. Tumblr has both the chronological and the trending for you/for all, and it was also ignored.
There goes the largest no stupid questions community. Bah. They’ll be back in a day or two, I know, but bah.
Not just worse, it’s also extremely dependent on instance choice when you first try to build your circle of follows. Having to follow people to find people to follow to find further people to follow makes that first step the most important, and Mastodon’s vision of an “Everything” feed is a disorganized mess. Intentionally, for anti-viral reasons.
The reason that’s an actual huge issue is that instance choice is also, easily, the highest barrier of entry to a new user. People are CONFUSED by it. Which means that if someone who would be in earnest willing to try Mastodon and give it time, may still end up coming out with a bad impression if they made a mistake with the prior step and couldn’t figure the right second and third step to overcome the hurdle.
Meanwhile, here on lemmy, our choice of instance is largely irrelevant. The only change we get on our “All” feeds is just a couple top posts, so we may not have the same starting position, but we do have something in the same ballpark.
This whole conversation is and was tiresome to have, honestly. I did see people try to solve it, but even there they’d run their onboarding environments built by mastodon users counter to what newcomers may want. For example, I saw this web wizard that would quiz me on my region and languange and also slur-censoring preferences… when all of that stuff is completely irrelevant to me - I look up entertainment communities by topics FIRST, not social philosophy, and specially not by regional peers, because fuck my regional peers.
Anyways, point was… Everyone I know who actually stuck to Mastodon… Have mastodon.social accounts. Exclusively. But here, people are already spread between .ml, sh.itjust.works and .world.

Discoverability was largely the reason why I got in fights with Mastodon users over the platform being in a bad place when Twitter had its first wave of musk awfulness.
I find that the system is now much improved, but man, I can’t stress out just how bad an impression I was given that everyone seemed to think searching posts by tags was a bad thing, and that tags in general were, in fact, objectively broken at the time. Like, people go on social media with purposes in mind.
It’s fixed now. Tag activity is shown correctly. Tag history also gets shown correctly. You can also follow tags. That’s all I wanted, and acknowledgement of it, not a philosophy discourse.
In fact, I’m tempted to say I WANT people to know I’m not the one downvoting them when I disagree.
Honestly, Docket with a GUI just becomes super easy I actually got a bit spoiled. Used to use Kitematic, which even had a browser, but that’s gone. I’m back to terminal only now, but alas.
There’s a video that shows exactly this phenomenon in real time.
The most important people are the first followers. A website with a guy commenting alone is sad for the guy. A website with a couple people commenting is sad for whoever’s not talking.
The hell?
99.99% of content on reddit is stolen. What do you think something like /r/WhitePeopleTwitter is about if not content theft from another large platform, with first come, karma served. No one, not a single person there, is ever even concerned with wether or not permission was requested and granted. Heck, not even guides are safe from this. Go visit /r/piracy, and check their wiki. Think of how cool, useful and well formatted it is. Appreciate it for a bit, right before being informed that even this was initially copied nearly verbatim from another online resource. One that, ironically, is banned from being posted on Reddit.
It’s a link aggregator, that’s the category of website it falls under.
And so is this one.
Steal and credit. Link the original directly if you feel too bad. Reword after research, but do it manually if it concerns you. You will be doing more than due diligence. Because if no one ever stole, we’d basically have no content.
The actual “story” is that photoshoots for stock photos do a lot of random scenarios at once with given actors.
There’s photos of the two women getting together and conspiring against the guy. There’s also photos where he’s visibly in a relationship with the other girl instead.
