they/them

I don’t think it’s fair to say nothing is changing, but “dying” admittedly seems like hyperbole.

Organizations can die slowly or not at all but still be gravely damaged. They are almost certainly making these moves to capture the least critical (most profitable) portions of their userbases and hunker down for survival. Even if the change is extremely painful, they’re (likely) planning for the specific goal of avoiding total death.

I’ll use common names in conversation, but I prefer taxonomic naming when labeling things. Some things have no common names, some have many, and some share common names with other things. to me that’s reason to avoid them for identification

it may seem that way, but that’s not accurate. something had to be done to stem the trolls and lemmy doesn’t provide any tools for less severe action.

“hallucination” works because everything an LLM outputs is equally true from its perspective. trying to change the word “hallucination” seems to usually lead to the implication that LLMs are lying which is not possible. they don’t currently have the capacity to lie because they don’t have intent and they don’t have a theory of mind.

sure did. however, that law technically doesn’t take effect until Sep 1. however, it seems some employers are already taking advantage of it to harm and kill their employees. also important to note that the temperature in much of Texas can still be well above 90F through the end of October, so Sep 1 is not a meaningful date WRT working through the summer - there will likely be many 100F+ days after this law officially begins.

I don’t agree. I think it’s disingenuous to isolate the decision from the context as if it were made unprompted. it comes across as if you are blaming the admins for something you don’t like - if that’s not your intent, then what is ?

the most important things will be preserved naturally.

I believe this is a fallacy. Things get preserved haphazardly or randomly, and “importance” is relative anyway.

in many ways AH is one of the highest quality and most valuable subreddits on the site. it’s such an important organization that really should live on outside of reddit, but obviously it only got so big because it was part of that ecosystem. I think I might mourn AH more than my smaller niche subs even though I don’t go there often if it does end uo disappearing. I really hope they can migrate successfully somewhere else.

it doesn’t sound like anything abnormal to just completely forget a new password, let alone one part of it. I would not see anything to worry about in this instance. but if you’re worried about your memory more generally, how is your sleep? do you get enough, is it restful, do you snore, is your schedule consistent, do you eat before bed? there can also be lots of other common factors like unresolved emotional trauma or depression or neurodivergent traits. additionally, memory is a skill that can be trained if you want to have a good memory.

again, this incident is not something to worry about. if you feel like there’s a pattern, there are many things you can look into but start with your day-to-day state. investigate how your body and mind feel. I can’t even begin to get close to saying you may have a particular condition, just want to give some lines of thought you can investigate if you want.
