Really! 😅 I hate the elitism, interviews, etc of private trackers, so even though I have the knowledge and seed constanly, I only download from public trackers, in order to seed content that will remain public and accessible by everyone

Elitist a bit strong

Hmm you’re right sorry, I don’t know the specifics of e.g. your comment in this case, but it is frustrating when information is shared publicly, that might be of interest to someone, but the language used creates a larger barrier than needed 😕 And having a translator tab open in my browser just to translate every comment and post I read on the Internet one-by-one is not feasible. (I know e.g this is just one comment, but I’m talking about the bigger picture in general)

(In any case, thank you everyone for engaging in the discussion I started! I didn’t expect so many answers 😅)

francophone instance

But, the community is hosted on lemmy.world, is lemmy.world francophone? 🤔 (Or you mean the original post?)

Δηλαδή θέλεις να μου πεις ότι εσύ όταν είσαι στο Διαδίκτυο κάθεσαι και κάνεις αντιγραφή-επικόλληση κάθε πράγμα που βλέπεις σε υπηρεσίες μετάφρασης;

Μπορείς απλά εσύ που κάνεις το σχόλιο να κάνεις τη μετάφραση για τους άλλους

Το να γράφεις μόνο στη γλώσσα σου είναι ελιτιστικό, περιμένοντας είτε όλοι να ξέρουν τη γλώσσα σου, είτε ότι μόνο όποιος ξέρει τη γλώσσα σου είναι άξιος της πληροφορίας που γράφεις

Σε κάθε περίπτωση, κάνει την διαθεσιμότητα περιεχομένου στο Διαδίκτυο χειρότερη

Ρε, ψήσου να μιλάς κι εσύ αγγλικά, όπως έχουμε ψιλοσυμφωνήσει όλοι στο Διαδίκτυο

Αλλιώς δεν βγαίνει η φάση να μιλάει ο καθένας τη γλώσσα του

I’m curious, why do people make these comments? If the op wanted an answer from an LLM, they would have asked an LLM…

But that is my point: downvoting the news will not keep people from using it; the people who will want to use it will find it anyway.

In any case, people still want to be aware about it, especially the people who disagree and downvoted it, so they should have upvoted instead, in order to have a proper discussion about the issue they supposedly care about.

Trying to bury it in downvotes to make it disappear from “Hot” does the exact opposite.

Wow, so many downvotes probably from people hating the news, this is not what the downvote button is for.

It’s about if a post or comment contributes or triggers interesting and engaging discussions.

Specifically for news articles, I find it important to upvote if I’m glad the article was posted at all, since it helps raise awareness about an issue etc, or if I probably wouldn’t have found the article posted on another platform, so maybe I wouldn’t have learned about it at all.

Even if it’s fake news, it’s better for me to be aware that misinformation in being spread about the issue, with people in the comments explaining why it’s fake with sources etc.

The upvote/downvote button is not a change.org petition for making a problem go away by disagreeing with it.

Not really a life hack but: folding bicycles are so, so convenient for everyday use (fits in every elevator, fits under your desk at work, fits in public transportation even when it’s crowded, etc)

I really don’t know how they are not a lot more common; you only need a mountain bike if you actually ride on mountain trails often enough. Even non-folding city bicycles are way more comfortable for everyday usage (higher handlebar position and cushiony saddle <3)
