How could we convince Reddit subs to move over to Lemmy?
  • I think how fragmented lemmy is hurts it. I enjoy Mastodon more, because it doesn't matter what server a person uses, you have but a single feed of all the people you follow.

    But here on lemmy, every server has its own communities and might even be having the same conversations apart from each other. While reddit is a giant single space for each conversation.

    If there was a way to unite feeds so that, for example, /c/gaming gave you posts from every community /c/gaming you are subscribed to or federated with (or /m/gaming for us mbin folks). I think we could really see a proper exodus from reddit as it becomes proper alternative.

    and of course, the classic lemmy experience would remain for those that don't want to do that. Much like old.reddit remained strong in the face of the site remake.

  • Reality you can't find in fiction
  • So many villains in fiction are depicted as intelligent, phew, did we ever get that one wrong

  • What would 10 year old you be the most surprised about you now?
  • That I'm a girl now. Would have blown their mind that it was even possible. But then would have been disappointed in me for not having made a video game yet.

  • I don't know what I expected a Kiwi to sound like, but that wasn't it.
  • Nonsense, I remember watching a documentary as a kid that the tasmanian devil would spin around into a little tornado and eat kiwis.

  • I don't know what I expected a Kiwi to sound like, but that wasn't it.
  • It kinda sounds like Ridley from the GBA Metroid games. I never knew he was a Kiwi, but I guess that's my new head-canon.

  • Cheeky
  • You mean bedsores, yeah its a pretty similar cause. The difference is that bedsores only cause damage to the skin from lack of blood flow caused by the extended pressure from lying down. While in horses, the extended pressure from lying down leads to poor blood flow in not just the skin, but the muscles and organs nearby too.

    And yes, you can turn horses over too, but it takes multiple people and is really dangerous to everyone involved, so its not an action to be taken lightly.

  • Standing desks do not reduce risk of stroke and heart failure, study suggests
  • I wonder if those under desk bikes are enough movement to avoid these issues, or if that's still not enough.

  • Standing desks do not reduce risk of stroke and heart failure, study suggests
  • "But a study suggests standing desks, which have soared in popularity in recent years, do not compensate for being inactive and may even increase the risk of conditions such as swollen veins and blood clots in the legs."

    So its not just useless, but even worse than sitting. Yikes. I guess the healthy thing is to create situations that make you move around more. Get up to drink water, get up for a snack, get up for anything else you can think of while working a desk job.

  • 66 hours in, i made a factory that makes 25 motors per minute. [Satisfactory]
  • I miss it too, but its not like we've been starved for content, she's been doing little daily comics for a while now.

  • Cheeky
  • It's not just horses, all large mammals have this problem from lying down too long. Horses can and do lie down every day, but for short periods of time. It's the extended lying down from illness or injury that kills them.

  • Cheeky
  • To add on why broken legs are fatal: its because horses are so big, that even with a sling, they cannot support themselves well on 3 legs. And lying down is also not an option as their own weight will crush their internal organs if they stay down for too long.

  • So close
  • Big fan of Nintendo's classic 1985 single, "It's a me, Mario"

  • Ok guys, who games on an IoT version of Ubuntu?
  • by that logic you also have to add Manjaro to Arch at 2.95% which makes it 51.65% Arch, plus I use EndeavorOS which is also based on Arch and not on the list, but I would not be surprised if it broke the 1% userbase for steam.

    From the 22% Other: We probably have at least 5% Red Hat based distros like Fedora and Nobara that I hear is popular for gaming.

    2-3% might be OpenSuse

  • Ok guys, who games on an IoT version of Ubuntu?
  • The other distros are split by version, while Arch, being a rolling release is but a single entry. I bet if you add up all of the Ubuntus and Linux Mints, they'd be much higher than Arch.

  • Indestructible quartz crystal can store 360TB of data for billions of years
  • So, as I understand it, and I don't, 5D is just fancy marketing due to the really weird properties of the crystals used to store the data in. They are just calling properties of the crystal, dimensions.


    I found the wiki page on it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5D_optical_data_storage

    According to the University of Southampton:

    The 5-dimensional discs [have] tiny patterns printed on 3 layers within the discs. Depending on the angle they are viewed from, these patterns can look completely different. This may sound like science fiction, but it's basically a really fancy optical illusion. In this case, the 5 dimensions inside of the discs are the size and orientation in relation to the 3-dimensional position of the nanostructures. The concept of being 5-dimensional means that one disc has several different images depending on the angle that one views it from, and the magnification of the microscope used to view it. Basically, each disc has multiple layers of micro and macro level images.[16]

  • Adulthood sucks
  • I've always been a fan of the war hammer. You have the crushing end and the stabbing end, so versatile.

  • Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills
  • That feels like too far in the other direction. Rather than open internet access, there should be a district-wide intranet or at least just a proper whitelist of allowed sites, but of course that would require a proper IT department and would be too costly for most schools.

  • There is no such thing as a TERF fungus
  • Fungus TERFs be like, "ThErE aRe OnLy 6561 gEnDeRs"

  • There is no such thing as a TERF fungus
  • 23k sexes that's fascinating, so I looked it up:
    They have two sex genes, named A and B, each of these have have an allele (alternate form) called alpha and beta. So combined there are 4 unique spots in the gene to look at. A-alpha, A-beta, B-alpha, and B-beta. Each of these can have variations, with A-beta having 32 and the rest 9. 32 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 23328 unique sexes

    So describing your sex would look something like A-alpha-1, A-beta-8, B-alpha-3, B-beta-5.
