  • The isolation and limitations of my physical disability made the "share a fake polished version of yourself and experiences" untenable for me after the first two years. Watching everyone else's lives grow and change is deeply painful for me when I'm forced to reflect on my stagnation and severe limitations.

  • Interesting. I can get a small curve out of prompting with a straight road or sidewalk, the use of antinadiral gets a slight concave curve, like the term is weakly in the correct vector space but not powerful enough to bend buildings. That is some progress towards the required momentum. Thanks.

    How can one describe centrifugal gravity present in an O'Neill cylinder space habitat to someone incapable of understanding "centrifugal gravity" as a concept?

  • Super cool to watch these. I'm around 100 miles from Vandenberg (California west coast launch facility), and I have roof access where I live. The second stage separation happens almost directly over my head and I have a great view of the Falcon 9 boosters doing their boost back burn.

  • Post screenshots of content on Lemmy to other places in general if you use them. This is the real reason why people post stuff from other sites. Probably around a third to half of posts shared like this are guerilla marketing. It is an advertisement of platform relevance. If you can screenshot stuff here that gains traction on other websites you maximize exposure and make Lemmy de facto relevant as a leading platform worth exploring. It takes time, persistence, and numbers for a person to break out the logic and realize that they should try out that thing they keep seeing. With enough persistence posting screenshots is what drives the big movement. Greentext is a 4chan ad. Xitter ads are everywhere in memes. TikTok ads are in shorts reposted everywhere. Lemmy needs the same to really gain major traction. The Lemmy part is largely irrelevant to the need for original meme quality posts.

  • A troll (https://lemm.ee/u/shinigamiookamiryuu) is a new moderator of AskLemmy on Lemmy.world. They recently trolled about how Elon Musk's Nazi salute "has been debunked". What can be done about this?

  • Upon a troll taking power as a mod of a popular community, the fediverse won’t be affected, because you can just make a NEW community, and everyone will go there!

    I find that stupidity infuriating. It postulates that communities are owned by moderators and not the community and users. That is authoritarian narcissistic garbage. No one looks at or cares who the moderators are when they post anything anywhere, EVER! NEVER EVER EVER!!!

    That is how these places fail to grow most people encountering this stupidity just leave. Mods serve communities just like admin. The altruism of hosting is not some neo feudal ownership of users. I'm grateful for the time and efforts spent and willing to contribute myself in the ways I can to that democracy, but anyone that acts like that means they own me can shove a whole data center and the parking lot up their root directory. Communities have momentum and belong to the users only. ANY mods that do not put users first should be purged immediately. Mods are disposable. As a mod, I am disposable. I do not matter. I am the janitor. Any mod that can not say this should be purged immediately. Anyone with any hint of narcissism is toxic to the community in every instance. Every mod and admin action is harmful and should only ever be applied to those that are causing greater harm like bigots. There should be extreme prejudice by admin at mods that are active and taking actions that were not flagged by members of the broader community. I'll volunteer as a mod of any of the larger communities if that is what is needed. I trust users to make flags and there are very few actual actions needed here in any community.

    What was life like for the average German middle class worker from 1930-1942?

  • It is just a fundamental abstraction that it is an all Israeli thing. Israel has no separation of business government and military. It is one of the most integrated States in that respect. The person with the most influence and control over the alignment problem and the most proprietary undocumented black box aspect of all present AI, so close to the Israeli military is not a good idea. Israelis have proven that they are genocidal nuts with no ethics. Even with the best intentions, will these people maintain them under torture and duress. We are all only animals that cosplay sentient intelligence. The power available by bending alignment is already so large it can reshape all of civilization if it were removed or realigned and that power is only going to increase with time.
