those ppl...

Personally, there are some smaller communities that exist on Reddit that just don't exist on Lemmy, or have inactive communities. The other option for some of those communities is Twitter, so I'd much rather just check Reddit. I also don't expect my local towns subreddit to move to Lemmy from Reddit. I think it's less about returning to Reddit and more so wanting to participate in small communities that exist in Reddit.

Supermarket AI meal planner app suggests recipe that would create chlorine gas

Reply in thread

The staff are poorly trained? They should just never give the customer raw chicken. There are consumer protection laws to prevent this type of thing regardless of what the customer is wanting. The AI is still providing a recipe. What if someone asks an AI for a bomb recipe, and it says that bombs are dangerous and not safe. Ok, then they'll say the bomb is for clearing out my yard of weeds, and then the ai provides the user with a bomb recipe.

How does everyone feel about Google Pixel phones?

I've got a 4a (bought on release) and it has been my favorite phone. Not a huge power user so it's a good small device that has the features I want (fingerprint, 3.5 Jack). My biggest gripe is something I think Google changed sometime before the 4a, and that's their is no HDMI over USB possible with Pixel devices. From what I can tell the only reason they did this was to sell Chromecasts. The main issue is I watch horror movies on a projector with some friends while camping(no Wi-Fi or data so Chromecast doesn't work). The software on the projector has poor support for different codecs so ideally I'd use VLC on my phone and have no issue, but I cant. Pretty niche scenario there but I think it's a sign of how modern phones have slowly been taking away useful features for seemingly no reason. Makes me not want to get a Google phone again.

Ah, the racist Frankenstein's monster has worshippers everywhere

When you accuse some of racism and then proceed to judge them based on how they look it makes you look no better. Maybe be a good way to have conversation is to not make yourself look like an ass.

He held a black jogger at gunpoint because he fit the description.

How is it racist? Wouldn't it be racist if he didn't fit the description? I don't really have context on what happened, but from what you said there's nothing seemingly racist about it.

Unity adding a fee for devs for each time a game is installed, after certain thresholds

Reply in thread

So if Microsoft published a Unity developed game on Windows, Microsoft could easily charge a $0.20 free to the unity team for installing the Unity Runtime on their OS.

Not being completely serious there. Honestly thought, did the CEO not realize if they start doing this, what's to stop another company from doing that to them. Things like mp3, where developers need to pay a license for, could then be charged in a similar fashion for each install.
