That all depends on the specifics of “good pay”. I guarantee there is some amount of money that I’ll accept to do practicaly any job. That may be far more than “good” though.

the more you walk, the lower your risk of death

So if I never stop walking I’ll never die!? Awesome!

Or subscription, or freemium, or merch, or raffles. Lots of options beyond that even.

Advertisements distort the market arrangement. When one uses advertisements to generate revenue, it inherently creates a situation where the advertisers are the actual customers. This incentivizes the site toward the needs of the advertisers instead of the users in any situation where those needs don’t align.

So yes, eventually it would be the end of the world. Within a decade or two the site would go to hell. We’re seeing it already with most ad based sites. People are complaining Google is getting bad. We already know that Reddit is. That’s why most of us are here. News sites go to shit, when they distort themselves for advertisers. Example after example of advertising, making site after site worse over time.

The advertising model, is the original sin of the internet.
We need to find another way.

Mastodon doesn’t have Likes at all.

The star you’re referring to is Favorite. Those go into your Favorite list. So you can refer back to them more easily.

My default is Top6Hours

I do. Any questions?

I usually just ask them, when I wan to see what my favorite people are up to.

Mastodon is organized around individuals. Lemmy is organized around topics.

The Lemmy way is far superior.

There is a save feature.

There’s no such thing as “raw” sausage. Uncooked maybe. But never raw, like carots or stake can be raw.
Sausage is ground meat mixed with all sorts of spices and things. Including yes almost always sugar and salt. Without the extra spices, it’s not sausage anymore. It’s just ground beef, pork, turkey, venison, whatever.

I tend to find them funny, and entertaining.
When a persons response seems far outside the norm, I know it’s not about me anymore. Then I just try to enjoy the show.
When they calm down, I might ask what it was really all about. Which can be constructive sometimes, or just it’ll just send them into another performance. Either way is a different kind of win.

Your example doesn’t really fit the scenario proposed by @CyanFen@Lemmy.one. You’re conflating multiple things. (Lots of people in this thread are)
Getting credit for the GPT essay, is unrelated to getting credit for completing the assignment.

In your example. The student would not get credit for completing the assignment. However they would get credit for creating the GPT generated essay. OpenAI does not.

If the assignment was to create a still life drawing, and the student turned in a photo. They get credit for the photo, not Canon who made the camera. The only issue is that the photo isn’t a drawing, so they don’t get credit for doing the assignment.

((52x30)-1000)0.015 is $8.40 over the $10 plan. You wouldn’t need the $25 plan yet.

And 52 is a huge number. I’d bet you could cut that in half easily.

I wasn’t sure ethor. My first month (last month), I used just over 180. This month might break 200, I have 5 days left. So I’m good.

Not sure where you are, but there’s practically no place in the US you get a lunch for that. In flat terms it’s quite cheep. It’s only expensive relative to free.

And when you think about it, your search service really is your internet. It shapes your whole internet experience. If that’s not worth $5/month to make sure it’s good and not polluted with ads, I don’t know what to tell you.

In September the game is being vastly reworked. Lots of the mechanics are being changed. The skill trees are being completely re-conceived. This will likely be it’s final form.

If you get it now and finish a play through by then, sure it’ll be worth it.

I’ve got nearly 800 hours into Cyberpunk2077.
It’ll probably be my goto game until its sequel comes put in a decade or so.

I’m not sure it’ll change much. We already know confessions, lineups, and nearly all “forensic sciences” are unreliable at best; frequently outright false. But they’re all still used, and wrongfully ruin peoples lives.

All they need is an “expert” to testify that, “by their judgment” a video is real.

On Reddit I only ever down voted things that were actually bad advice. Things people shouldn’t do.
