This is the second /c/ reference I've seen tonight. What's that?

I think it goes back to the Reddit days. Subreddits would be referred to as r/SubredditName, which referred to the URL path (reddit.com/r/SubredditName) and was how they would be displayed on the page. I think the Reddit mobile app at least would actually turn that into a link. The equivalent to a subreddit on Lemmy is a community and their URL often shows up as lemmy.instance/c/CommunityName. It’s not actually as useful in the Fediverse to refer to them in that way, though, because it generally only works as a link if you’re signed in to that instance. Using !CommunityName@lemmy.instance is better because it should work regardless of what instance you’re on, or even if you’re using something different from Lemmy.

I picked up on the reddit reference, but I had no idea how any of the fediverse stuff worked in relation to that. That's really cool that you can link that way, honestly. So presumably I'm just missing out on exactly what instance and community people are talking about when they say stuff like that?

no, sometimes it's a joke and the community/subreddit doesn't exist.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

your way is better if the community exists

I do it this way when it doesn’t exist, or I don’t actually want to link to it

Doesnt that link directly to only one instance's version of that community though? Rather than combining every instance community of the same name into the same feed?

Same-named communities on different instances are still different communities, they do not get combined ever (unless you use an app with that feature, not sure whether such an app actually exists)

!memes@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz are separate for example

Yes, but it would be more convenient if there was a way to link all communities of the same name from all federated instances together for browsing purposes. Kinda like Reddit's Multi-Reddit. Its totally doable within a custom browsing application, but would be nice if Lemmy could implement something like it natively.

This way if someone has blocked instances, they can see posts from that same community name on a different unblocked instance and will likely arrive at the same contextual information as the post that mentions it, as it is unlikely that the same name community on different instances would have drastically different content. C/food on Lemmy World is most likely going to have the same type of content as c/food on Sopuli XYZ: posts about food.

The subscription feed should be replaced with a way to create custom feeds instead of just one subscription feed

LLMs are not the singularity anyways.

Though I'd be very surprised if no one has ever built a blowjob machine. Not necessarily a good or safe bj machine, but knowing humans, I'm 100% sure it's been done. Hospitals might even have a code for "dick mangled by homemade bj machine".

Why would you need a bj machine? Just use a buttplug and positive reinforcement

"Teledildonics" have been a humorous niche since the Slashdot era.

It's plug and play!

Do you mean a vacuum cleaner?

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 child)

I personally wouldn't call a vacuum cleaner similar to a blow job. There isn't that much sucking involved in "sucking dick".

parent

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 5 points 7 months ago

You just need to switch it from suck to blow.

You're gonna rip your dick off.

Is that what you thought the goal was? You'll know we're there when AI gets you to suck it off.

Oh that's a fun version of the containment problem. A true superintelligence, given enough time, will pull some pickup artist shit and not call you back.

Musk is working on it. Once his Optimus robots are advanced enough, he'll shrink them down to adolescent size and figure out how to put artificial skin and hair over them so they'll look like the Grok demos of 12 year old girls he keeps posting on Twitter.
