Wait… the Lemmy logo is a Lemming?? I’ve spent the last 6 days thinking it was a gerbil. And this whole thing was referencing the Lemmiwinks episode of South Park.
I thought right-hand rule with Z up as thumb was standard in science? You usually project on the xy-plane, for example when calculating the distance to objects on a flat surface.
I only know thumb = motion/current but now since you say, it’s clear: people used x/y for 2D logically but the 2D plane used to be paper. which is parallel to the earth surface (usually). Computer screens are perpendicular so Y points up, not away from you.
So this makes sense with paper, TIL. With computers, Z traditionally means depth.
TBH I’m not sure I totally understand the question but projection is very useful to decompose the orientation of elements, like a cylinder that you just measured with a machine or a scanner. The coordinates and orientation (angles) can be projected in the three main planes XY, YZ and ZX.
Maybe we’ll finally be cool enough to get banned - Klanned Karenhood
Oh, you could have been that cool already. Just do as Ijeoma Oluo did.
Provoke the racists. They will come flooding into your inbox with death threats and hate speech.
Report the messages to Meta so they can say, “doesn’t violate our community standards.”
Screenshot the messages and Meta’s enabling response, and post them publicly on your Facebook page to show how seriously Meta takes right-wing death threats.
Done. Banned. You could have been cool all along, Klanned Karenhood. You just have to go after the right people.
Same on Twitter. Back pre-Elron I was suspended for the stupidest crap: I said I thought Trump would be too old to run for office next year, as he lived an unhealthy lifestyle. That was “wishing harm or violence”, like, what? I didn’t voice an opinion about whether I was all happy about that or something, just simply made that statement. Then someone was joking about the Will Smith thing and something about Kid Rock and I said Hillary Clinton should be the one to slap Kid Rock. That was also horribly violent of me. I appealed and they said NO, YOu are VERY BAD, SORRY. What a waste of time. It’s offensive, too. Meanwhile I’ve reported things like people saying vile racist insults and literally saying they want someone to die, and I get the reply that sorry, they reviewed it and the comment was fine. I’m sure the process is even worse now.
The thing is that liberals feel the need to obsess over “fairness.”
If you really ban hate speech from a place, then it will appear to mostly be inhabited by more left leaning people. The vast majority of hate speech comes from the right.
But at forms WANT those right WI gers to drive engagement, so they don’t enforce their TOS on open racism so long as it’s a conservative doing it. But if you’re on the left and repost it to criticize it you get dinged.
It’s bullshit that shows how many companies are run by fascists who don’t bother hiding it anymore. But the liberals eat it up because it wouldn’t be “fair” to ban conservatives “for their conservative views.”
They also have no interest in removing spam and scams. Every time I log in to check in on family that doesn’t believe any form of contact exists outside of Facebook, I end up reporting at least 3 posts in the five minute period that I’m there for being spam/scam posts in groups
Users and communities hosted on the instance you’re viewing (in this case it’s lemmy.world) don’t show their home instance.
i.e. my name appears as just “bewilderedraven” to other lemmy.world users reading this but users logged into other instances (such as lemmy.ml) should see something like “@bewilderedraven” the some applies to communities.
Lemmy is federated, so there are multiple “similar” communities on different instances. Here you are on lemmy.world if there isnt amy @ … if there is something like @lemmy.ml it is on lemmy.ml. You can subscribe to them on every instance ( only if the instance is blocked ), comment and create posts there
Until someone on kbin subscribes to it via putting in the url directly it doesn't show up as kbin dose not know it exists iirc. Same thing with Lemmy, if someone on your instance isn't subscribed to a community an another instance then it doesn't show up until someone dose
I assumed these were just the same communities only started on different servers?
This is correct. Anyone can start a community on any Lemmy (Or KBin) server, and they can name it whatever they want. When a community is on a remote Lemmy instance, you see the @<instancename> suffix to help you see which one it is referring to. When no @<instancename> suffix is shown, that means that the community you are looking at is hosted on the instance that you are currently viewing Lemmy content through.
but it isn’t the same communitiy. it’s a completely different community on a different server, only with the same name. (and an omitted server name means it’s on the one you’re currently at.)
So is the idea that a community coalesces to a winner-takes-all single server, or is there a way to… uh … federate (?) … same-theme communities from different servers?
they are federated. you cannot only see all those communities, despite them being on various different servers, you can join and access all of them from each and every server. And the content gets sent through the network. As a user you can practically ignore the server part of a community. In this case it is important, in order to distinguish those communities because people created the community with the same name multiple times on multiple servers.
I believe that indicates that particular community is “local” to the instance of Lemmy you’re signed into. Since it is local they don’t need to add the rest of the instance address for the community.
(So if you were logged into lemmy.world when you took the screenshot that would mean that is !nostupidquestions)
Budanov, Head of Ukrainian Intelligence, now reverses his stance and claims that the threat of “artificial catastrophe” at the ZNPP is “quietly decreasing”.
June 21-30: Ukraine ramped up rhetoric that Russia had plans to sabotage ZNPP.
July 1-4: Massive external scraping on Twitter causing Elon to limit user views.
July 6: Ukraine claims threat of ZNPP sabotage is no more.
Maybe Western Intelligence were using AI to scrape social media to gauge public perception of the ZNPP/Ukraine, to see if the public were buying their Russian sabotage psyop.
What they found was that the public logically pieced together that Ukraine/Deep State are the ones who benefit from the potential sabotage, as their goal is to convince NATO to takeover the war and drag the US directly into conflict with Russia, because the counter-offensive was a catastrophe and the Ukrainian military failed.
Nobody was buying Zelensky’s claims. Even the IAEA went out of their way to tell us that these claims of Russian-planted explosives were unverified.
Maybe Western Intelligence saw that the public were not buying their psyop attempt, and AI judged that they couldn’t successfully pull it off because the data they scraped showed that the public were too keen to their plot. Thus Budanov claiming the threat has magically disappeared.
In other words, maybe public awareness might have just prevented Chernobyl 2.0.
Regardless of if this is what actually happened or not, one thing is for certain; citizen journalists are dominating in the Information War right now. We are taking Western propaganda and dismantling it in quick succession. The enemy have lost their stranglehold on the narrative and thus public perception.
