Trying a switch to tal@lemmy.today, at least for a while, due to recent kbin.social stability problems and to help spread load.
Han is the captain. The captain of a ship makes the calls as to what it does, and the Millennium Falcon came back.
I think a better question is why Luke gets special recognition versus the other pilots. I mean, he happened to be the one to make the final shot that blew up the Death Star, but everyone else in the squadrons went in too.

More-generally, if you see something of this form:
community@instance.name
Where the community above is:
pixelart@lemmyloves.art
You can just plonk that into the search field in kbin, and it’ll bring up a page where you can subscribe to it.
You can also link directly to the search – and doing so apparently also works on lemmy servers, since the URL format is the same:
[Search link](/search?q=pixelart%40lemmyloves.art)
Yields:
Honestly, r/ducks was one of my favourite subs. If not my favourite.
Found the fox.
Yeah, I ran into this on /r/europe when there were some EU legislation issues. The EFF does have some activity in the EU, but it does have a mostly-US focus, and there isn’t really a direct analog.
It depends on what your interest is.
EDRi (European Digital Rights) in Europe has come up on a couple of advocacy issues I’ve followed. If you’re in Europe, they might be worth a look. They don’t feel quite the same to me, but maybe that’s what you’re looking for.
What’s been your experience with youtube recommendations?
I’ve never had a YouTube account, so YouTube doesn’t have any persistent data on me as an individual to do recommendations unless it can infer who I am from other data.
They seem to do a decent job of recommending the next video in a series done in a playlist by an author, which is really the only utility I get out of suggestions that YouTube gives me (outside of search results, which I suppose are themselves a form of recommendation). I’d think that YouTube could do better by just providing an easy way to get from the video to such a list, but…
It’s available for me on kbin.social as of this writing, and I subscribed.
As far as I can tell, what one needs to do on kbin is search for communityname@instance. I don’t think that “!” goes in the search string.
But that’s already run by now.
For people on kbin.social, you should be able to see it at:
https://kbin.social/m/battlestations@lemmy.world
If you’re on another kbin instance, do the above search. I’m still a little fuzzy about the right syntax in a comment to produce a link to perform such an initial search in a cross-lemmy/kbin, cross-instance fashion. I think that it should be:
!@battlestations@lemmy.world
Giving the following:
That generated link does work for me on kbin.social, but I could be wrong about it working elsewhere.
I really wish that this particular issue would be made clear, as it’s important for community discoverability.
EDIT: Nope, generated link does not work on lemmy.world, so doesn’t work on lemmy, at least.
EDIT2: On fedia.io, another kbin instance, the link also doesn’t work, so someone on the instance may need to have already subscribed for the link to be auto-generated. The ability to have a link format that directs to one’s local instance in a way that works on all lemmy and kbin instances, regardless of whether anyone has subscribed, would be really nice.
EDIT3: Trying:
[battlestations@lemmy.world](/search?q=battlestations%40lemmy.world)
Yields
Which works to generate a search on kbin.social.
It also appears to work on fedia.io, so this is probably the right way to do a link, at least for kbin users.
EDIT4: It also appears to work for lemmy instances! This should probably be the new syntax used on newcommunities@lemmy.world to link to a community!
There’s apparently a humanist logo used in Australia that has five stars (from the Australian flag), though they aren’t really above the person’s head:

It looks like the Paralympics don’t do an annual thing; they’ve changed a few times, but with the exception of the first (which was three wheelchair wheels), it’s been a combination of three swooshes:

It doesn’t look like it’s the Commonwealth Games either:

I tried doing a Google Images search for “athletic competition stars logo”, but didn’t turn anything likely up. The closest I was able to find was stock vector art:

https://colorlib.com/wp/all-olympic-logos-1924-2022/
I don’t think that it’s an official Olympics logo. The closest is Barcelona Summer Olympics 1992, and it’s not that similar.
2003-2016 logo for South Carolina Educational Television?

Bottom left corner of the screen in the recorded video, or on the tape itself?
Do you have a country or rough timeframe (like, decade) where you might have seen it?
I mean, that visualizes the changes, but what I’m saying is that I think that it’d be possible to go further with collaborative art than having a one-pixel-per-person cooldown.
Most of the early discussion I recall on Reddit was around programming languages. Some startup stuff. Was probably partly the Reddit team themselves posting stuff they were interested in, and partly intake from Slashdot – I found Reddit from Slashdot – and Slashdot had a tech bent.
Here’s an early snapshot of Reddit:

I also think that a factor is that people who can host their own instance are particularly interested, because you can’t do that at all on Reddit and the Threadiverse suddenly lets you do that. For them, it’s not just “Reddit is doing something that I don’t like”, but “the Threadiverse has the network structure that I wish Reddit did”. That’ll slew towards techies. Like, is pretty active, even on non-lemmy/kbin stuff.
I remember, as a kid, once going to a Buddhist sand-painting exhibition at an art museum. They made these huge, beautiful mandalas by carefully shaking colored sand into designs. When they were done, they dumped it out into the ocean. I remember – being pretty impressed with it – asking something like “but why would you destroy it”, and the Buddhist monk guy said something like “it reminds us not to be too attached to material things”.
Don’t know if I agreed with the guy, but I think that there is probably a very real perspective out there that ephemerality has intrinsic value.
I don’t know what his argument is, but Stross’s account seems to be @cstross.

It’s not new today, but it post-dates “AI” and hit the same problem then.
