xantoxis, in Unfortunate cropping of a phone notification

Instructions unclear, became aroused

can, in Unfortunate cropping of a phone notification

Hey OP, did you know your account is set to appear as a bot and many might be filtering it.

bobagem,

I did not know. Thanks for telling me. Fixed.

can,

Thank you for acknowledging my attempt! I’ve made similar comments to other users at least five times and they all went ignored.

Shouldn’t that mean they are… bots…?

can, (edited )

That’s all I can conclude. I was actually surprised OP replied. But I knew they were human by how they interacted with users.

DarkThoughts,

I mean. There are quite a few legit bots around. Especially on the news subs. The fediverse isn't quite as saturated yet with legit content submissions.

can,

But engaging in the comments? I’m not talking about alien.top either.

DarkThoughts,

I hope not. Although I keep seeing some people posting the same shit I saw on Reddit. Might just be lazy commenting though.

can,

Old habits die hard

bobagem,

Thank you. I’m going to try again now.

I’m using sync on Android and I don’t believe that I can change the setting there. I can change the setting for whether I filter bot accounts, and so that confused me for a bit about whether I was misinterpreting that setting.

I did find the setting in a web browser on my home instance. And I thought I corrected it, and I thought I saved my change. Updates and screenshots to follow momentarily.

Is this a setting that defaults to bot‽

bobagem, (edited )

When I search for this setting in Sync it shows up.

https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/7735d41f-27b9-4668-addc-c27327cf5f3e.jpeg

But when I click on it it goes to a page that does not offer the setting either at the top level or buried inside of anything else.

When I go to look for this setting again in my home instance, I find that it is in fact now correctly set. It was not correctly set when I posted. So my fix stuck.

I assume, as someone else suggested, that there’s some caching going on somewhere, either on the transmitting end or the receiving end.

That’s fair: as far as Lemmy knows it was posted by a self-declared bot, even if that puppet later became a real boy.

Still have the B icon next to your name.

can,

Really? What app are you using? Maybe it’s cached? The bot icon on sync went away for me as soon as OP turned it off.

Web mobile

can,

Oh that’s even more confusing. Maybe make a bug report?

PoolloverNathan, (edited )

Sync user here, OP still has bot icon.

Edit: Gone now

can,

I continue to be further confused.

Thank you for sharing this. It will be a true Internet treasure for generations to come.

Unfortunate Fortunate cropping of a phone notification

Fixed.

AI is becoming too intrusive.

DarkMessiah, in Unfortunate cropping of a phone notification

So, the person who designed that absolutely did it on purpose, right? Because if not, that is the funniest coincidence I’ve seen in a long while.

the_joeba,

Speaking ass an app developer, the person who chose the text is probably not the person who did the development or testing. This is probably a default template where they just say “what’s the title, what’s the message”. It would be very unlikely that it was anything butt a coincidence.

A double whammy, nice.

If you’re going to post this video to 8 different communities at least add a context. Why are you sharing it? What is it? What’s the significance? Seems like a lot of work to just get a bunch of downvotes

player2, in Dior has released a $230 'scented water' for babies. It's significantly more expensive than its bestselling fragrances for adults.

The exorbitant price is the whole point of luxury stores like Dior. People who shop there would stop if everything became reasonably priced. Do you really expect people of their status to live like the rest of us?!

lntl, in Income tax payers in india by percentage, state wise.

What Uttar Pradesh lacks in tax rate, it makes up with number of tax payers.

LordOfTheChia, in Dior has released a $230 'scented water' for babies. It's significantly more expensive than its bestselling fragrances for adults.

The surprising part is the price. Baby colognes have been in a thing in other countries (the ones I’ve seen have a lemony scent). Example:

alienanimals, in Scrabble’s New Official Word List Contains Dozens of Stunning Additions. Elite Players Are Mortified.

Scrabble is dumb because it’s all about memorizing high scoring words from a list. As I recall, the guy who won the French Scrabble championships never even knew how to speak French.

DeadlineX, in Scrabble’s New Official Word List Contains Dozens of Stunning Additions. Elite Players Are Mortified.

Some of these additions are just silliness. That said, I could barely make it through the article, as it kept just randomly starting a new sentence halfway through a thought.

It also referenced somebody, but then didn’t finish the sentence before moving on to talk about someone else. I have been annoyed by all the “this article was written by an ai” comments I’ve been seeing lately. Having read this article I see what people mean.

Andaman and Nicobar Isles can probably get more tax revenue if the North Sentinelese pay their fair share. But they’re more likely to shoot you with arrows instead, being an isolated civ.

Babies already smell good, if they are changed and bathed regularly.

MondayToFriday,

It’s just the scented baby wipes that you’re smelling. (At least it’s cheaper than the Dior stuff.)

AngryHumanoid,

I’m not falling for this trick again.

glimse,

I always thought that was some bullshit parental cope until I held a newborn. Somehow, babies really do smell great
