A little bit of computing and a little bit of neuroscience.

I’m not familiar enough (or at all) with C#, but AFAICT, it could make an instance more stable, as firefish and misskey have struggled with handling a decent amount of users and C# could be a faster system for the server.
Also, a re-write sometimes is a good thing. And, developers have different preferences for languages, so having a C# project around enables C# devs to more easily contribute to the fedi.
And to really get it you have to have been a vulnerable commuter (cyclist etc) in an encounter with a car where they’ve clearly just not seen you and will kill you if you’re not constantly on the look out for such things.
Despite being well informed about such things I was still shocked my “first time” as I watched a car just turn into me like I wasn’t there while the driver was looking elsewhere.
cars were already a problem. Weaponising them with tech hype is toxic.
Lemmy federates pretty well with mastodon. From mastodon you can follow a community as you would any person/user.
There are two major problems though.
Also, you can just follow lemmy users on mastodon.
@cwicseolfor @tobi82 @coronavirus @longcovid
Well yea. The responsibilities we take for our actions are obviously important (and should be addressed more IMO), but blaming the sick for not protecting themselves rather than focusing on those negligent in preventing infection and in not taking care of others … is a choice.
@tobi82 @coronavirus @longcovid
I wasn’t looking for sympathy, just sharing an experience.
You have no idea what my background is or for what reasons I’ve been infected in the past.
What’s more you’re completely neglecting the importance of the social dimensions that lead to widespread infection of an airborn virus while trumping up absolute individualism as the sole basis of responsibility and blame.
All of which is a rather flawed outlook IMO, along with a poor demeanour TBH.
Some, maybe many, hope for the decentralised model of the fediverse to “take back the internet”. Each time a commercial platform “enshitifies“, there are then calls for the fediverse to replace it with a federated alternative, in part to take advantage of the moment of user agitation.
But, IMO, resources and financial support are a touchy topic in the fediverse. If such has lead to a mismatch between ambition and opportunity, and, capability, that may be worth addressing.
ha … checks out
Didn’t Malthouse openly attack the carlton management after he left by accusing them of not being willing to rebuild their list as much as they needed and being way too arrogant because they’re carlton with 16 premierships?
Agreed (and said the same myself)!
As I’ve said it … alternative social has run its course in this post-musk-twitter moment. Everyone’s settled down where they ended up.
And yea, either more major disruption or some new killer features (rather than clones of big social) will be needed to shake things up. Neither seem particularly likely in the short term … your EU-meta smackdown is probably the best bet??
Comparatively, it’s definitely a lot more into shitposting vibes, for sure.
I think their biggest problem right now is they don’t have good community self-organising features (nor masto, but the boost culture corrects for that IMO), so those who want more serious sub-cultures aren’t getting much footing (and may never).
Feeds are interesting but not very fruitful IMO and hashtags are new, so it’s a bit flat community-wise there, and many users are “wait & see” I suspect.
Fair (kinda the simple explanation why I’m anti-threads-federation).
While I’m no BlueSky-stan, the idea/promise of the system is a hybrid, which I think is generally worthwhile (especially while things like twitter and threads *dominate*) but also interesting.
How hybridised it becomes (and can become) is the question though with *big* outstanding questions.
LOL … yea plenty right.
I’d forgotten about them (firefish/Misskey plugins) actually (we probably saw each other over on firefish “back in the day”).
And yet when chatGPT and Dall-e come out everyone drops their shit ready to presume the great all-knowing AI godhead has arrived. Why? Well it suits them as consumers, and that was my point.
I don’t know modern music well enough but it’d be interesting to compare to the weird state music technology has gotten to with synthesisers and digital tooling having completely matured now to the point where a laptop can replace a studio. Anyone advertise “no digital” like Jack White did?
@nickwitha_k balancing things for sure, that’s just craft. But where you lose me is that talking about how CGI is done, how good examples of it are done, and why … is just not mainstream.
Crashing a plane into a building? … everyone wants to talk about it. But no one ATM seems to want to know about all the awesome shit CGI is doing. Bad examples sure, they exist for all aspects of film. Instead people are lying about how much CGI they’re using, when getting it right could be celebrated.
Sorry, just read 14A, sec 5:
> The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
The decision seems pretty predictable to me then.
In fact it seems that this was never going anywhere and that the provisions are actually pretty weak. If an insurrectionist is popular enough to be a plausible presidential candidate, then they’re not unlikely to have significant support in congress.

Be sure to check out the “catch up” feature. Best thing I’ve seen in any social media client I think.
