You must get this sort of thing a lot, but why is the palace of Westminster missing, imo it's second in impressiveness only to Buckingham palace and it's fairly world famous. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Westminster

And the palace of Whitehall is listed as number 7 in England, but I've never heard of it, it's mostly destroyed, and what's left is not that impressive. If it's on historical value then fair enough, but still would have thought that Westminster makes the cut.

    I block DOGE, Trump and Elongated Muskrat as keywords, because Lemmy sometimes thinks it's AmeriLemmy, and I just don't care. But the blocks don't work on comments or pictures. Using Voyager app, anyone have any ideas?

    Reticulum is peer to peer via any method, including the internet, it's more a protocol than a meshnet. Has text based websites too btw. Mostly chat apps and forums, as well as some blogs and libraries. It's pretty neat, but takes a little setting up and is fairly niche right now. Feels like the original internet culture, people building things just because they can and building communities also.

    Meshtastic is definitely also not too slow and is pure LoRa, it's just a bit lossy and has range issues in busy networks. You can do voice chat over it if you have strong enough links.

  • Mastodon is a social media app, a bit like Twitter, but instead of one company owning the whole thing, it is made of lots of smaller communities that can talk to each other. You join one community, but you can still follow and talk to people on other communities, a bit like how someone with a Gmail address can email someone with an Outlook address.

    Ignore me if I'm being stupid, but could you just not give it internet? A lot of TVs have high spec CPU/APU these days and complicated firmware, surely ability to update the firmware for these is necessary for patches/feature improvements. They probably think it's silly not to include software if they can, but I agree the software experience is often a bit of a let down. LGs been good, but admittedly I block all telemetry on my network so wouldn't notice any downsides.

  • yeah the em dash thing is absolute moron bait

    like wow mate, you saw a long dash. call the fucking lab. some people are just punctuation goblins and have been since long before the slop machines turned up

    • ChatGPT generated comment, people need to know that they wouldn't be able to spot a well generated bit of text as AI these days. It's dangerous thinking they can. Was a nice touch when it called itself the slop machine though.

    Scientific studies suggest that people usually cannot reliably tell whether a piece of text was written by AI from style alone: accuracy is often only slightly above chance, varies a lot by genre, and drops further for more formal or scientific writing. For example, one 2024 study found average accuracy of about 57% for texts overall, while a 2024 teacher study found that even novice and experienced teachers could not reliably distinguish ChatGPT essays from student essays and were often overconfident in their judgments; likewise, a study of research abstracts found reviewers were largely unsuccessful, with only 38.9% positive identification. There is some evidence that people can improve with explicit feedback and training, but the overall research points to the same conclusion: humans may sometimes pick up clues, yet unaided judgments about whether text is AI-written are generally weak and unreliable, especially when the writing is competent and domain-appropriate. - ChatGPT
