I think thats a reasonable guess. I find having to scroll past these sorts of threads to be annoying.
I get it, it doesn’t need to be censored. But it is censored, for whatever reason. Lemmy isn’t the only social media platform, and the internet recycles memes.
Maybe it really trips some people up and makes it hard to understand, but I think people tend to understand what was censored without even thinking about it.
I wouldn’t even think about these word censors at all if it wasn’t for the obligatory “you can say fuck on the internet” comments. Say fuck then, do it! Who cares, though, if someone else didn’t say fuck?

mearceto Technology@beehaw.org•T-Mobile Shows Users the Names, Pictures, and Exact Locations of Random Children12·22 days agoI’ve not been a parent, but I think it actually sounds pretty nice to be able to check where your kid is, before a certain age.
For a young kid, who cant advocate for themselves or otherwise be trusted to know when to seek help from an adult, theres really not much expectation of privacy? You should probably know where your 6 y/o is at all times, I don’t find that particularly creepy.
The peace of mind having access to a findmy network for my keys and other devices saves me an embarrassing amount of anxiety. These are inanimate objects that are at most an inconvenience to lose, and they cant wander off on their own. Given how I’m willing to essentially track myself for keys, I can see how parents justify tracking their kids to and from school.
The sheer terror that they must sometimes feel if the bus is late or their kid decides to follow a friend home must be pretty unbearable. When they’re old enough for a phone or to otherwise access a trusted adult when needed, then I can see an argument to be made for their autonomy.

mearcetoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•Show HN: Offline SOS signaling+recovery app for disasters/warsEnglish1·23 days agoIt seems neat! Not sure, though, how much better it is than a whistle or noise maker, given its range. It does make noise when activated, so maybe the BLE can be used when the sound isn’t as useful.
Signal range
- BLE range: typically 10-30 meters indoors, further outdoors, limited by rubble and building materials.
mearceto Canada@lemmy.ca•A Canadian combat medic in Ukraine: ‘I looked at my children and thought I had to do something’7·27 days agoCould this have something to do with the circumstances that lead to a single-parent household?
Theres lots of ways for a father figure to not be associated with a child, to have much less expectation from society to step in. Giving birth to a child, its not really ambiguous that you are indeed the mother. I think its harder to create a single parent household where theres only a father figure, fathers can disappear or never be known (Mothers can too, I know). Did the study account for single-parent households with a father figure being more likely to exist because a father figure more often has a “choice” in continuing to raise the child, and that decision is indicative of their felt responsibility and might be made with respect to their financial ability?
I guess what I’m asking is, was this study controlled for income, familial support, etc?
I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just curious as to the details and if the correlation is really just whether it’s a male father figure?
Maybe what you’re claiming is true, I don’t know whether is ‘probable’.
I poked fun at this before, but I don’t think it came across. If I’m not mistaken, millennials were the subject of a lot of boomer complaints about “kids these days”, being called lazy or entitled etc…
Maybe zoomers are dumber, maybe they’re full of microplastics and entitlement. Or maybe this thread is an example of the “chastise the next generation” history repeating. One generation is lumped together and shat on by older generations, some of which then make similar claims about the next generation(s) all backed up with nothing but anecdotes and confirmation bias.
I’m not trying to take dig at you, but I do want to highlight the similarities between claims like these and when a boomer might’ve said “I know a millennial who spends more on coffee than I would, so millennials are bad with their money. Millennials, who are bad with their money, cant afford houses. Yet they act entitled to homeownership, and so, they are lazy.” It’s a claim that assumes something about the integrity and intelligence of a swath of people and ignores the systemic issues that made homeownership hard for many millennials compared to past generations.
Again, maybe you are right, I do not know. I don’t think, though, that boomer rhetoric that shat on millennials as a whole was particularly accurate or productive.
I’m sure LLMs can get it right, but if I was going to use a tool for something like that, I’d want one that was more deterministic like the linked tool claims to be.
I agree that regex is an important thing to learn. Not sure any old LLM would do a very good job, and I hope that no tool replaces people actually learning how to write regex.
I’m not sure what you mean about the average person outside the millennial generation not understanding them, though. Maybe I’m mistaken, but I don’t think the ‘average’ person in any generation knows what regex is. Unless there is some reason the average millennial was actually exposed to them and forced to understand them?
As for being doubtful that anyone could understand them aside from a millennial, I assume you’re being hyperbolic? Sort of sounds like “Kids these days can never learn what I learned!” (I’m teasing).
Anyway I’m in agreement with you. This thread did remind me of a pretty neat project that, while still requiring domain knowledge, could save some time and be a good learning tool without being as fallible of a crutch as an LLM.
Have not tried it, and am not an experienced developer, so I am curious to your thoughts/criticisms: https://github.com/pemistahl/grex
mearceto Ask Science@lemmy.world•[Biology] Are there terrestrial animals with largely elastic skeletal systems?English3·28 days agoAre worms like fish in that they’re not really a specific category of animal? More like an umbrella term or a broad classification?
Or even a photo?
Most keys are of a standard proportion, but you could throw a ruler or a measuring grid in the shot too.
White noise machines have some more bass and can wash out more sounds. Especially if you place them between you and the source.
Or earplugs too. Much better quality sleep for me.

mearceto News@lemmy.world•Nato 'might have to get involved' in US takeover of Greenland, says Trump4·1 month agoDear readers, friendly reminder that your votes on lemmy are in no way private.
Not a definitive definition, but I take it to mean sort of “checking out” of reality to some degree. Often I associate it with consciously or unconsciously avoiding feeling feelings or thinking about life. It could be seen as sort of a maladaptive or reverse meditation where you process less input from your senses or become less aware of what you’re feeling.
