well that's common, but the big thing is, you can see what you are working with. Big difference in at least knowing you need to try a different site when say
Google: Law about X in state1
Top result: Law about X in state3: It's illegal
Result 2 pages in: here's a list of each page and whether law X is legal in your state... (State 1 legal)
Versus chatgpt
Is X legal in state1?
Chatgpt: No
Amen to that. I mean right now there's also more reason than ever to convince people to leave reddit. (IE people being banned, not just for mentioning luigi, but upvoting comments mentioning luigi).
I mean if you don't want others to get to it.
Or if say you want to participate on 2 seperate servers that don't federate eachother.
But in general a small hobby lemmy instance, can join all the communities on the large general purpose one. Hence, you are talking from a server I'm not familiar with, and we're talking in a discussion on the largest most general purpose instance.
Only reason I can think of is if you are really worried of people confusing you for say a Deranged_Kermit@lemmy.world, or something.
The only "grain of truth" I would say to the "woke movies" claims etc... Is that sometimes, studios will use minority casting, as a substitute for coming up with a good story or doing anything actually original in the plot. IE a shit movie with a diverse cast is still a shit movie.
I would suppose it also ties down to the fact that, actually trying to represent more people as a push, also started around the time that, movie costs scaled up so much that investors aren't willing to go in on a movie that isn't a sequel or remake of something that everyone has already seen. Movies now are more diverse, and 90% of them are crap, but the correlation isn't causation, and that's demonstrable by the fact that movies that have all straight white characters, are as bland and unoriginal as the ones that the right blames DEI for why they suck.
But yes... in short DEI, affirmative action, and whatever they called it before has always been the scapegoat for why everything gets worse.
Best I can find links a sweedish page on the topic

It's kind of odd I can't find more sources which does make me a bit skeptical
THE CRIPPLE PEOPLE JAR!!!!
that is true, probably the only way that you can know at least 2 good things. 1. You aren't encouraging any extra slavework to be done, 2. you are reducing waste (or at least increasing usage of what's already been made).
It's kind of the real annoying problem when it comes to wanting to buy clothes that aren't feeding sweatshops...
IE, you find clothes that are cheap, you immidiately know "well no way things are this cheap without labor abuses". But then at the same time you also are aware "just because it's expensive doesn't mean they don't also use the same labor abuses, just pocket bigger profit".
it has voice and video... though to be honest I've never used it.
What if bots have gotten so advanced they have simulated lives and backstory to help sell their reality.
In which case... could you even be sure you aren't a bot?
is that harmful for my future job opportunities?? what if a company wants to see my iq and they see 86
Has any job interview you've ever gone to ever asked for an IQ? I've never heard of it, and it sounds like a crazy stupid idea for anyone to go for. You like linux, you've programmed websites. The bullshit test that your employers are going to care about are certifications. Look around at job opportunities in your area (or if you are lucky remote), see what certs are most commonly demanded, and focus on getting them. In addition whatever you go for, try and get some hands on experiences in them, projects etc... whether it's personal.
Or say if web development is the direction you want to go... then try and find a friend or family member that needs a web site or project made... make them a "client" so that you can claim it as "work experience".
Honestly in my experience in IT... generally speaking when it comes to getting a job, in order of value "work experience" > Certifications > Primary education (IE Degree/diploma).
IQ test, I've never once in my life come across that question coming up... just don't advertise it and most likely no one will ever care.
Huge variations. I'd say probably the technologically literate percentages of people is about the same... but tech has allowed the technologically illiterate the ability to use the internet.
