It’s called a galaxy

Okay, so what if galaxies are synonymous to atoms in that they are the building blocks of something greater?

insert something here about protons, neutrons, electrons, quarks etc. being comparable to solar systems and planets.

Feweroptions ,

Galaxies form galactic groups and clusters. Clusters can form into super clusters. Beyond that, you’re looking at the universe itself as the next large collection of stuff.

Interesting idea but do admins really want to take on the work of curating a feed?

It seems like local + subscribed + all then occasionally browsing for new communities on lemmyverse.net is all the discovery and content the average user would need and I even believe that it’s more than reddit provided due to lemmyverses nice ui.

captain_aggravated , to nostupidquestions in lemmy.world doesn't seem to have many established NSFW communities; they appear to be in separate instances. Is there any benefit to this or anything stopping lemmy.world from having NSFW communities?

  1. I’ve heard that adage about the porn industry pushing innovation, but I’m not sure it’s entirely true. Like, I believe “the world standardized on VHS because the porn industry did” is outright false.
  2. Hosting porn brings down a whole load of legal scrutiny onto your service. In some places in the world it’s outright illegal or the effort it takes to do it within the law is so great that it’s not worth doing. Several instances don’t want to even attempt it. Instances that do probably need to specialize in the kind of attention that sort of hosting requires.
ccunix ,

The porn/VHS thing is a bit of an urban myth. Top Gun was the first blockbuster only released on VHS and had more effect than porn.

Anecdotally, my sister and I persuaded my dad to buy a VHS so we could have Top Gun.

Silviecat44 ,

Blu-Ray, however

ccunix ,

You want to say porn is what allowed Blu-ray to beat out HD-DVD?

I doubt it. By the time that format war arrived the internet was well and truly established, so I reckon the vast majority of NSFW content was consumed with no physical media.

Another reason would have been Xbox Vs PlayStation. The Xbox 360 had an HD-DVD as an optional extra, compared to the PS3 including Blu-ray as standard. Which was going to win?

The porn industry’s influence is vastly overrated.

arditty , to nostupidquestions in Can AI use WiFi to visualise people in a room?

This has been a “thing” for a while now. Here’s a Hackaday article on it from 2018:

We really just sleepwalking into a Cyberpunk dystopia huh?

cyanarchy ,

You better start believing in cyberpunk dystopias, matey.

You’re living in one.

axtualdave ,

To be clear, this is using the same frequencies WiFi uses, but customized hardware and software to accomplish the task. Those frequency bands can of course penetrate walls. It’s why we picked them for network connectivity.

It’s a long jump from yet another method to detect things using EM radiation to plugging an AI into your WiFi router to spy on people.

Real question to my Apollo refugees is what app are we using to browse Lemmy on iOS? I’m using memmy rn and it gets better with each daily update.

tyfi ,

wefwef.app is absolutely incredible once you add it to Home Screen. Feels 90% as good as Apollo.

Tygr ,

Totally agree. I’ve used it for two hours and a HUGE fan

I’m still reading it and I’m halfway through it. I agree in recommending it! Moreover gapminder (which is the source of most of the stats) now has data updated up to the year 2022.

onesweetmullet , to books in What did everyone read in June?

What is read?

OceanSoap ,

Read is both the past and present use of the word, though it’s pronounced differently (red and reed). OP is using the word in past tense. What books have you read (red) over the month of June?

May , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in If beauty is tightly associated with facial symmetry, then why doesn’t everyone have their hair part down the middle?
@May@kbin.social avatar

I didnt know that was true. Some famous people ive seen called really attractive dont have perfectly symmetrical faces. In fact for some of them its not too hard to notice the asymmetry but theyre still really attractive.. i think the amount that symmetry comes into play might not be as high as other stuff like the shape/size of features, if at all. but ya.

Also for the hair thing i think is just bc some hairstyles look cuter than others depending on the person. Not necessarily middle part for everyone tho is not bad.
