This is a good "I am Very Smart" candidate which surprisingly doesn't seem to have an active community here on Lemmy yet...and I might be just fine with that now that I think about it. It seemed like half the posts there on Reddit either were mean spirited, called out the wrong side in an argument, or were actually smart.

Pretty embarrassing behavior all around. That said, I can't wait for the Jomboy breakdown.
I don't know if that's as big a problem as you think. Assuming they have not previously allowed special characters at the beginning of Twitter handles (I don't know whether they had the foresight to do this), they could use a character that was disallowed previously and is a legal character in URLs and then include that special character in the URL path so that it would be twitter.com/~user/ or whatever. This would only be applicable to new official accounts and would not break URLs for existing users.
I see, well I guess the real question is whether it can be improved at the server/protocol level and my answer is I don't know. There's some handshaking that clearly has to occur between your instance and the other instance to load the initial community state and I don't know where that process can be optimized. I think I've seen people mention tools that have been created to automatically subscribe a dummy account on your instance to all the communities on the largest instances to kind of bootstrap the process for other users, but I don't have a link to such a tool handy.
Edit, and there's never going to be a guarantee that your server can talk to their server until you try clicking the link because the other server could be overloaded, down, or blocking your server.
What's ironic is it's usually the type of people with your type of attitude that I miss and grieve for the most.
I don't see how this meme would be better with an audio cable that doesn't have a separate physical signal path for left and right channels. The Van Gogh panel wouldn't make any sense.
What you've described is exactly how it's supposed to work. Once a user has subscribed to an external community from your instance, it should load immediately for any users afterwards.
That was my immediate thought as well. Like they have fogging glass, but nasty ass toilets with optional toilet seat?
That would require Musk to either be intelligent or willing to listen to people who are and I'm unconvinced he's either.
Absolutely, and by that point they've released new content and side quests in the Cum Box update.
My problem with the test is that I'm not sure it's really testing what it purports to be testing. It says that it's testing your ability to discern misinformation from looking at titles, but I think what it's really testing is your ability to differentiate human written titles and AI generated titles. AI generated titles could be truthful and human written titles could be utter bullshit and without checking the credibility of the source or reading the article, you're not necessarily going to know which is which unless you already know something about the topic.
That said this is an interesting experiment that I predict will not have the same results when LLMs become more advanced.
Calibre is a fantastic and underrated tool.
