You can use extreme examples about any group, like black americans, or chinese, japanese or vietnamese enemies and then use derogatory names for the whole group.

Doing that is called racism. Example: You’re a racist, like a nazi. Since we’re on lemmy, all lemmy users are nazis. See how stupid that is to say?

Once a war starts, law and order goes out the window and war crimes are inevitable, as well as awful death and destruction and untold suffering.

And Russia is not solely responsible for starting this war. Should others who helped to start it not be held accountable?

Also, the civilian death toll in the Ukraine war is still lower than the death toll in gaza or the (second) iraq invasion. It’s also hypocritical to dehumanize Russians but not USArians.

Lemmy has little reactionary people, but your definitions on who is authoritarian or who or what is “good” or “evil” have been manufactured by the mainstream media.

If you ever wonder on how to prevent foreign or capitalist interference into elections and mainstream social media, you will find yourself looking to China and Russia for inspiration.

Instead Lemmy has cut off any dissent from the actual socialists, those who oppose the systems that created the conditions for the rise of neofascism. People can’t even imagine or tolerate other ways of managing power. Therefor Lemmy is a failure.

Of course the Tankies or “dirtbag left” have their share of blame for that too

Well, when I started to use lemmy I had a few problems:

1. I read something on the landing page about “Mastodon account works too” so tried that, so basically confused fediverse, activitypub, mastodon and lemmy and wondered why nothing worked. Oops.
2. I tried to join a community that was meant to migrate away from reddit, but found two duplicates. So I wasn’t sure which one was the correct one. Ultimately the migration failed, even though it was a software oriented community
3. Then I soon wanted to make a new account on a server that doesn’t require an email. Because emails today are basically personally identifiable for security agencies.
4. Then I found out that socialists are called tankies on lemmy and some of the main socialist instances are banned by the limbrols. So I made a new account and posted a little and had an interesting discussion about voting in proto-fascist democracies and promptly got banned by the tankies. Oh well.
5. Then I had a discussion about how calling russian people “orcs” is racist. You guessed it, banned.
6. Well several accounts later, here I am, the last sane man on the internet and you all fucking suck hahaha

I do think lemmy is worthwhile and can be fun, but as a reddit alternative it has already failed. You cannot purge insanity by splitting it up into smaller insanlets. That’s just schizophrenia.

Ah yes, the US is being run by a fascist pedophile and his 4 techbros of the apocalypse, but lets focus on the tankies because clearly they are the real problem haha.

The closer we are to irrelevance, the farther we are from harm!

Ok, “exhibit a limited form of creativity” :)

Maybe you need some different mechanisms / models to allow what you are describing. But I’m sure we’ll get there sooner or later.

Wow. I honestly don’t understand how people think these AI models don’t exhibit creativity.

That is what I was asking because of your outrageous claim (death within a week). But of course you’re just a loudmouth.

Is that actually true? I’ve looked this up a while and it said it’s basically overblown or urban myth (wiki). Basically we’ve been drinking rainwater forever (I know it’s not pure) and you get so much stuff through food that it might lead to deficiency but not quickly.

It’s per kg of body weight. So if you weigh 80kg (176lbs) then rapidly drinking 7.2L of water has a 50:50 chance to kill you - I think.

It’s a cross-post from lemmy.world. Hope I’m doing it right.

I’d like to know how one is supposed to cross post properly too. This links to .world website where you can’t comment and you can’t click directly on the article url. Afaik you have to use the search function to find the federated post on your local instance (https://slrpnk.net/post/6853635) and then click cross post there. Which just creates a new post with a link to the original article and a link in the summary to “https://lemmy.world/post/12143683” (isntead of your local instance). I think lemmy is still missing functionality in that area so you can cross post stuff better “after the fact”.

“throw everything away and start again” really aligns well

Haha no. But you would have free reign to create something new and experiment with and then demonstrate - without having to content with certain forces. It can’t be the only solution, but it could be a way to demonstrate to people a 5 min village. Like $20.000 for a sustainable luxury apartment with an amazing view (probably way too optimistic). That might lead to more people wanting change in housing policies and real estate ownership.

A while back I thought about creating a kind of planned community. Get land somewhere, or “take over” an existing village / county somewhere and change the local ordinances / zoning. So people would buy in and invest money or resources or just time and labour (crowdfunding). Then build it from scratch.

Have enough agricultural land, have your own water collection, power generation for the village and transportation to the nearest city. Basically becoming a kind of real estate developer. Or something like a kibbutz.

This seems the only realistic option because cities have such incredibly forces / money interests at work.

Cheers, didn’t know that something like a usable “open images dataset” existed. Awesome.

The last bit isn’t really relevant for your app, just a general rant really. It’s just that I’d like better image viewing support all around. Like in browsers there is an image and you can click on it but then a new tab opens. I have imagus but it’s not ideal and restricts the image to the smaller browser window. In the explorer I have quicklook now that opens images with space but the zoom feature is half assed too. Then many images apps have long startup times (>0.2 secs) or are bloaty. It’s just a bit annoying that it’s 2024 and PCs still can’t handle images really well.

Sorry if these are stupid questions.

Does this only show these foss_photo_libraries and your local photos?

Does it support jpegXL?

I’d love a seamless zoom feature for images in the browser. I use imagus but I’d love if the popup window could zoom to be bigger than the browser window.

Wow nice. What was the prompt / software?

Yeah I got into Fusion360 a while back but predictably it gets worse and worse. Now I have to learn freecad so I don’t run into the same shit again lol
