Yeah, while aesthetics is typically considered a side-effect of your choice of client, i think Lemmy should offer prettier aesthetics to choose from. In the menu:

chat is important for real-time messages (like talking to each other irl), but there should be a wiki/faq that answers frequent questions IMO.

Lemmy (and Matrix to a lesser extent) gives me the vibes that Nintendo Super Mario Bros gave me around 2008 - just magical, wonder what can be done.

i understand your points

i just want to point out that the IP address can often be used to track your location, especially if you’re in more rural / less densely populated areas. That might doxx you, and how dangerous that is depends on your public profile. So the concern is legitimate.

i think giving away less data might be better, that’s why i’m commenting here

ooh, every information has some value to it.

for example, you could analyze the aggregate (i.e. how many people in each country, how long it takes them to see the messages, how often they are online, …)

also, it might be testing out the messaging system for later, more elaborate attacks.

yeah it could well be that something shady is going on here. maybe it would be a good idea to limit how many messages a user account may send to, let’s say, 500 or sth.

that would make these scams/ads less doable.

fun fact: i’m allergic to beans (i think), but i still like it here

Yeah i just hope it stays that way and users stay genuine. A while ago i noticed some users who were really stubborn about some weird agenda. Not sure if bot or just stupid human.

Also, nicole (the fediverse chick) is turning into a problem.

2. Apps could save a list of visited posts; and check for every post in your feed whether you had already visited a crosspost of it before. But it’d have to be implemented i guess.

I just hope that Lemmy stays nice. I don’t want it to reach 100 million+ users and be overwhelmed with RAGEBAIT and scams.

sry i’m too tired rn

maybe another time :D

here’s a short summary:

plants produce life out of the four elements (water, air, sunlight, earth), so they are producers of life. animals/fungus are consumers of such life (they eat fruit) and decompose it into urine, air, shit, and heat/energy. so it goes full-circle.

what, however - you may ask -, is in it for the plants? why produce food only for animals to eat it? it is because the plants get something for it, and that is that animals transport the seed in the fruit around and drop it somewhere far away. so plants get movement or transport from the animals. and that advantage is, in fact, large enough for the plants for it to even bother producing food in the first place. so quite big. that’s not really pseudoscience btw, more real biology done by real biologists, but still interesting :D

elveitie: the call of the mountains

ask for more and i will give.

Uff, i have a lot:

Life on earth is a huge organized organism. It created intelligent humans deliberately sothat we can spread life to other planets. Living beings (plants, insects, other animals, fungi) could not do that otherwise.

All life is sentient. Sentience doesn’t come from the brain, rather it comes from the hormones in your bloodstream. When we sweat, these hormones enter the air (apparently within the fraction of a second) and other people can smell them. That is how we can instinctually know how others are feeling.

Also i have a lot of mythology:

Heaven (realm of all ideas, knowledge and forms) and Earth (origin of mass and material) are a love pair. Because they couldn’t easily meet (there was an insurmountable gap between them), they created a bridge, which is life. This way, heaven supplies the shape (genes), and Earth supplies the body, and these two can be together in this way.

Viruses are books. They have a cover (shell) and contain scripture (RNA/DNA). We humans let them in because they are nature’s messengers and have a specific purpose, which is to exchange some information.

i have that too, a lot. not just when people die though. it is quite different than just a random hallucination, because i get the feeling that an organized intelligence is actually having a plan and giving me specific information.

like, sometimes, i will have a dream that conveys something important to me, and then i will deliberately wake up in the middle of that dream in a way that makes me remember what i dreamed about, so i can write it down.

to make an example, just yesterday. i dreamed that an old school colleague of mine is in some sort of deep trouble. today, for the first time in 6 years, i get a text message from a close friend of his that asks me to meet up.

I thought you were going to say

As a videogame programmer, it is natural to me to consider myself as a character in some video game.

The way i think about it:

The brain has two halves (hemispheres)

The left hemisphere does rational thinking

the right hemisphere does magical thinking (which probably also covers religion)

Both of these hemispheres developed through evolution, because both of them are useful and beneficial to your life. That is why you should employ both.

Also we can see evolution at work when bacteria develop resistance to medications.

we gotta keep trying :)

is my opinion at least
