I'd probably say mundane ergonomics (eg.: how do your species use chairs, or if doors have knobs or bars) and general interpersonal processes: how does one find a mate, or raise a child in the setting, how are liars and cheaters treated, etc.
Not the spells, but how and why magic works in the first place.
Emphasis mine; interested here. What about working on the "why" do you like the best? Is it the work of placing in "inherent" limitations, or the lore that you can work behind it, etc?
What are those benefits? The only potential one I have direct experience with (besides speed) is that the connector is reversible, but even that's small-time and a flat out objective downgrade compared to the circular connectors of the 90s, which could be plugged in regardless of orientation.
Sure, if you want; as long as whoever does that retrofits all my USB-A devices.
Wow hadn't seen that image in a good while!
It changed my economy game.
Now I have to buy an USB-C to USB-A adaptor to plug USB-C stuff into my already standing devices. Honestly, no idea why didn't they make it connector-compatible. Wasn't that the entire point of the "U" in "USB"?
Reddit is going to transition to a right wing platform right before our eyes.
is going to
If they did, they'd not be democrats. What (well, who) you're thinking of, is anarchists and revolutionaries.
Come on, try to at least pretend you're intellectually honest, we all know where the Dem party comes from.
Imagine caring more about Jan 6th than the thousands of dead Palestinian children
Imagine thinking you can read my mind, and not understanding context. Oh wait! it's 2024.
I've never implied that I care more about civility than human lives, I'm only saying it's her place to show civility now. Lots of people elsewhere to fight- oh wait! They don't care.
What would you think the overall response would be if, with so far nothing legally indicating a stolen election, Harris refused to acknowledge the results and proceed with the usual ceremony?
Uuuuh fam, her race is joever. Always has been. Have never seen her holding a gun, let alone sharpening a guillotine. There's lots people more qualified than her to prevent Trump by using force, now that the arena she's in has failed.
And, if anything else, she's taking the gracious way out
Bold of you to assume the US is my country, or that I'd want Orange Hitler to lead it if it was.
But, see, before anything else, I am a one person, with marginal zero power compared to even the Dems, yet they're the ones who have so far given zero reason to believe that they'd prevent it. Like, come on, we just came out of some spectacular election process! And second, what I'm going for is that she's showing more respect towards the process than he ever did. Moral high ground or whatever, it's just not her race anylonger. There's lots of people who can fight Trump for power, and, if you ask me, it's about time most of them stopped being lazy.
Oh excuuuuuse me, princess, for not being terminally online 24/7 just to please you.
If, lacking my presence, you'd prefer to pleasure yourself, I do can suggest a few devices.
At least we'll always have the ironic laugh at how the US, a country with guns for everyone, didn't even get a tin medal in shooting the Olympics, and how the US, a country with the 2nd Amendment, can't even kill a tyrant right.
Which means 15m people don't mind being fascists, which functionally is the same as they actively want to be fascists.
But hey at least they don't want to be Canada... I guess?
effectively forcing their own personal feed preferences on everyone who uses Lemmy
But... that's how voting literally works. Hence one of the smartest ideas I saw once for Lemmy (and for the Fediverse in general) was to substitute upvoting/downvoting for "voting on tags", such as being able to tag a post as "fake news", "inspiring" or "AI generated" and have people vote on those instead of on the psot / comment proper. Alas, I don't know what ever happened to that proposal, and could never find it again to track it down.
But, see, that's the thing and that's why there's an important difference between blocking and downvoting:
If I block something bad, like say fake news or fascism or AI, I block it only for me, it's only protecting myself; but if I downvote it, I also help protect my peers. If we want to make community, that's very important. And like any measure, it can be gamed, but so long as it's the one option we have, we gotta use like that. I expect AI slop to be batch-downvoted; if I didn't, I'd be back at Reddit.
punishing people for downvoting AI slop
Now that would be quite the turn... Downvoting AI slop is the basic human decency I'd expect from Lemmy.
More or less title.
The idea is, one can already excise the corporation social media somewhat, or limit their reach into your content, if you self-host your social media (or at least if you participate in the Fediverse, say on Mastodon Lemmy etc) and instead link or cross post to corporate ones such as say Twitter or Discord.
But I'm looking for something to self-host that is better geared to do this with small snippets of text that (mostly) stand by themselves. Something that would fit in a original!tweet or even smaller and would not have much use for the "conversation workflow" UI of corporate social media.
The two use cases I'm aiming for are:
- instead of posting something creative directly on eg.: Reddit or Discord (by which in the latter it would get locked and lost in that blackhole), I just post it in $THINGY and then link it on Reddit / Discord. That way I also retain license.
- having a "local" archive of my comments on various stuff that I can tag, query or consult on, or even easily share with other people.
At first I thought "maybe what I'm looking is micro-blogging" but on second thought it feels like I'm looking for something even smaller than that? I'm not at all sure, so I thought to ask around here what would you guys self-host for this kind of thing or if it's even a Thing.
Cheers.
