Lukewarm, chilly…

Boooooooo

(take my upvote)

Truly superhuman.

That’s the exact lead in of the Atlantic article about this (paywall)

Dunno, I think it was already pretty famous. The movie likely increased its notoriety a bit though.

It is weird. Lemmy is the second largest fedi platform, having long since passed Pixelfed. But it is rarely mentioned in articles like these. I’m not sure what makes it such the black sheep.

The Younglings!

I feel like linking is one of the things that is still pretty broken in the fediverse. I’m not sure it’s fixable. Ideally, any link would open in a chosen app, on my home instance. And I don’t use the same instance for Lemmy, Masto, etc.

Anakin theme:

Buuuh ba ba DA ta duuuh da, hey now, you’re an all star!

This is actually a really famous and interesting copyright case that established some important bounds of copyright. How much of an artist’s intent is necessary to claim copyright? Can an artist set up a situation in which some creative product is produced?

There is actually a lot of animal photography that is dependent on the animal itself to trigger the camera, such as trail photos or even those cute photos of squirrels interacting with dollhouse furniture like tiny little humans. There is a lot of meticulous planning, experimentation, and patience that goes into “spontaneous” photographs.

So we all just happily go back to living in forest?

“The moon is made of cheese?”

“That’s no moon.”

Only because time passes slower down here.

Wait, no, if we are further down then time above is faster and so going deeper makes you younger - no older - wait how does it work? Hold on there is a little spinning top and then something with exploding fruit and a woman in a red dress, or was that the Matrix? Uh, what were we talking about?

Yeah, Vine (now defunct) is probably the originator. YouTube has Shorts, Instagram has Stories, and it’s the same in WhatsApp. Snapchat has one, Facebook has one, X has one (or used to? I’m not sure)… They are a part of most social media at this point, almost as ubiquitous as posts, shares, and links. Of course, TikTok is king right now their main innovation is inclusion of licensed music and removing most of the interface so that one video just flows into the next.

Apparently he was actually pretty good at baseball but there was no minor league facility that could accommodate his fandom. So he had to retire before he could really train to compete at that level.

Hold on, I want to see how the Galactic Senate will respond to these developments.

You might also be interested in checking out kbin, mbin, SubLinks (under development), or PieFed. they each emerged for the reasons we are talking about. They are all free to try and AFAIK interoperable with lemmy for the time being.

What I’m saying is that this is a unique instance. I also think that for my purposes, .world is a much better option, and I think that for most people, it’s a much healthier and more stable place. I’m just not sure that the rest of lemmy can survive without .ml - It is literally where the development of the platform happens.

What do you do when you have defederated from the developers of the platform you’re using? How do you have a working relationship to meet users needs? Someone will say just fork it, but that’s essentially the same as launching a new platform. As I mentioned, others have done exactly that, partly for technical reasons relating to the vision of what the platform should be, but also for political reasons.

I’m not advocating for anything, i’m simply stating some of the realities of the platform we are using.
