I don’t really think other Lemmy instances actually benefit from being federated with Beehaw - communities that ignore off-site downvotes are able to spread propaganda with far less effort than it takes the admins of other instances to delete it.

The problem with that approach is that is is the truth from your perspective only, and nobody is going to learn better if your “explanations” just amount to “you’re wrong”. From most people’s perspective, this is indistinguishable from trolling and I don’t think comments like this or this are going to convince them otherwise - someone who deliberately uses language in a very uncommon way should probably not justify it with a dictionary.

“Drag is not using third person” may not be intended to be a complaint, but wouldn’t you say that someone who parses the sentence as you using third person misunderstands it?

First/second person neopronouns are not like singular they because they haven’t been used for centuries already. Always using plural forms with “they” is something that English speakers learn before formally learning what a plural is (that’s why “I need to talk to Sam before they goes to the store” sounds wrong even to someone in primary school), but idiosyncratic redefinitions of grammar will always sound wrong to people who aren’t used to them.

If your goal is to communicate effectively, you should avoid insisting on what can be easily (mis)interpreted as performative. If it isn’t, then complaining about being misunderstood is trolling.

Part of what might make people think you’re trolling is that you seem to use “drag” as a first person neopronoun but conjugate your verbs as if it were third person.

To someone who hasn’t seen this before, interpreting it as if you use a nickname to talk about yourself in third person would be the only thing that makes grammatical sense.

Edit: this reminds me a bit of https://www.xkcd.com/169/ - you don’t come across as smug, but you’re definitely not communicating well

Deine bisherigen Posts haben nicht gerade den Eindruck erweckt, dass du in diesem Kontext von “wir” sprechen solltest - bist du in den USA wahlberechtigt?

Wahrscheinlich ist die Idee dahinter, dass Nutzer den Computer nicht herunterfahren sollen, sondern höchstens in den Standbymodus gehen - dann kann das System im Hintergrund Sachen herunterladen (Mails, Software-Updates etc.) und ist sofort wieder bereit, wenn man eine Taste auf der Tastatur drückt

Ich hatte schon den Eindruck, dass Recall auch bei Laien sehr schlecht ankam, und wenn man denen dann erzählt, dass sie für dieses “tolle neue Feature” speziell zertifizierte Hardware brauchen, werden einige eher froh sein, wenn ihr PC das nicht kann.

Natürlich setzt das voraus, dass sie irgendwie davon erfahren haben, und da bin ich nicht sicher, wie präsent das Thema in der Mainstreampresse war.

PC-Verkäufe stagnieren trotz wegen KI-Hype

Ich würde mich nicht wundern, wenn es Leute gibt, die gezielt keine Copilot±PCs kaufen wollen
