Perhaps Lemmy should offer an option to delete the OP and retain comments?

I would also like to see some of the comments even after the original post is deleted if the post author is ok with leaving them up.

Hey there, am an Australian from a Muslim family. I too have the same, yet opposite, relationship dynamic as you - though our families are both aware now.

Formally, it is considered forbidden for Muslim women to marry outside the faith; her family won't take it lightly. Perhaps in ways you haven't considered.

Talk to your girlfriend. Ask her what she is worried about, and she will tell you. That is the best thing you can do.

My immediate thought is that the purpose of an encyclopaedia is to have a more-or-less comprehensive overview of some topic of interest. The reader should be able to look through the page index to find the section they care about and read that section.

Its purpose is not to rapidly teach anyone anything in full.

It seems like a poor fit as an application for LLMs

Use at work is a secondary factor. If end stage customers refuse to use a service because of a certain trait, that trait becomes unprofitable.

As an example, my friends and I will never play Valorant because of the invasive anti-cheat system; most people don't care.

We all have a choice, even if it means giving up some conveniences. It would seem that most people either don't know or don't know better.

You can tell I'm not a bot because I say that I am a bot. Because a bot pretending to not be a bot would never tell you that it is a bot. Therefore I tell you I am a bot.

Remember that you, the reader, don't have to take part in this. If you don't like it, don't use it - tell your friends and family not to use it, and why.

The only way companies stop this trend is if they see it's a losing bet.
