    • I don't believe "there is a god".
    • I believe there is no god.

    Both are atheism. First is weak/negative, last is strong/positive. The first merely rejects the theist's claim, while the last makes a claim on their own.

    I know that is bs because I haven’t been there in days and I probably added 100 visits a day to their stats. So they’re at least a couple hundred shy.

    The article mentions 55.31 million daily visits (average). You decreased their stats by 0.00018%. Even if all new active lemmy users had your level of activity, the other site would still return to normal. There are just so many other users.

    I know that I am not back. And I won’t be back, and I think a lot of people are staying away as well. That the traffic is now normal seems a bit sketchy.

    I'm afraid that's just bubble bias. Most people just don't care or haven't found a viable alternative yet. These +43k active users on Lemmy are huge for Lemmy, but not even a scratch for the other site.

    After the initial exodus at the start of this month, you could see more and more comments demanding returning to business as usual.

  • Solarpunk is an Evtopia, not a Utopia

    Utopia (from Ουτοπία) is an impossible Vision of the future, while Evtopia (from Ευτοπία) is the best possible Vision.

    Interesting. I never heard of Evtopia, and I also did not understand Utopia as necessarily impossible. Could be possible or impossible, depends on context.

    I also don't think being unreachable is necessarily a bad thing. Consider an 'Ideal'. Although some ideals may never be fully actualized, they are seen as something good and worth pursuing nevertheless.

    But mostly, I don't think the opinions of proponents or opponents of this idea are swayed by wether we call it Utopia or Evtopia. If anything, using the more common term makes it more relatable.

    You’d think if it was all basic biology we would just have a unique gender for every one wouldn’t you?

    Nothing in biology is exactly identical between individuums. A common eye color is brown, although there are as many shades of brown as there are people.

    It is just practical and how language, or even perception works, that we tend to categorize similarities, and strongly favor common occurrances over outliers.

    the doctor is describing your phenotypic sex based on observable characteristics.

    Your doctor is assigning you a gender.

    Maybe you two aren't even disagreeing?

    I'd say the doctor tries to assign the new born into male or female according to biological sex, and gender is inferred from that.

    He calls you either a boy or a girl based on your genital configuration

    Yes, that's what I mean. A two-step process. First, biological expression is assessed. Next, based on #1, social gender is inferred.

    Basically, do you identify as your birth gender (not sex, gender and sex are different)?

    The additional explanation actually confused me. Let's compare the two sentences:

    • A) Basically, do you identify as your birth gender?

    • B) Basically, do you identify as your birth sex?

    I assume biological sex can be identified by looking at your body as a new born baby, and gender is usually inferred accordingly. So I would assume new borns are being assigned a gender which mathes their biology, although they probably don't have any opinions themselves on the topic.

    Anyways, what's the difference between A and B? I feel you felt it was important to point it out, and I just can't see any.

    If you buy local, and go with the seasons, I'd argue it is rather hard to not have all three (cheap, delicious, healthy) at the same time.

    You won't have to rely on produce which is optimized for long transports but can tap into fresh, original flavors. Ripe fruits and vegetables from the fields, harvested just this morning. And because they all ripen now, quality maximizes when prize minimizes.

    Sorry for being unclear. What I meant is:

    These actors play nice until they are too big to ignore [as a presence in the fediverse].

    When they run the most and the biggest popular communities on their instances, do most of the development, offer the best tools and services in the fediverse, they have become too big to ignore.

    If they then start playing dirty, it is too late to defederate them. They will play dirty. Let's not make ourselves dependent.

    why would I want to keep in contact with the “head in the sand” people

    Forget contacts. Imagine Meta has

    • poured way more developing hours in their fork than the FOSS community ever could
    • the most effective and easy to use mod tools
    • the best search tools for finding communities, topics and everything else (by a margin)
    • free instance hosting
    • every major wish list feature implemented
    • a working feed with endless content you actually find interesting
    • a vibrant community for every niche interest you might have
    • advanced development so much that it feels a couple versions ahead

    The more money they throw at this, the more people will feel tempted to join or at least try their service. It offers objective benefits. It would feel like using lemmy 0.09 when others already enjoy 0.18.

    There’s nothing wrong with Lemmy’s user interface design.

    The first step is a UX disaster: https://join-lemmy.org/

    Only 2 clicks / pages down the road you can start registering an account, and you don't see what the experience might be before that. Instead, you're being presented tech talk about servers.

    You might argue it's not actually lemmy but just the landing page. I argue, it's so good at being a scarecrow, most people visiting lemmy haven't seen anything else except for that page.


    The inner lemmy is pretty fine, I agree. Some parts are still confusing. For example, most people will not figure out they can search for content from within a specific community by carefully configuring the drop downs in the general search form. Most will look for the search directly attached to the community.

    If Meta plays dirty, defederate them then. Now is just too premature.

    These actors play nice until they are too big to ignore. If you let them gain that much ground, it's too late to isolate them without doing even more harm to your own network.

    Also Meta is not a startup with unknown reputation. Meta plays dirty, that's a given.

    > Our tracking system is based on data from firms, a publicly available system set up by America’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration (nasa), which was originally designed to detect forest fires. We have built a machine-learning algorithm that evaluates the location of each fire detected by firms, and assesses whether or not it is related to the war. It consists of 100 separate models built to predict fire activity in non-war years. If at least 95 of these models agree that the number of fires identified at a given place and time is abnormally high by pre-war standards, the algorithm marks these “extra” fires as war-related.

    The article is not about single persons who might be trolls or whatever to qualify as a “bad guy”. But about megacorporations like Meta.

    Yes, sorry for being unclear. I meant the bad 'guy' Meta. Maybe continuing with 'entity' would have been better:

    we can be sure some entities will join

    ensure only good entities enter


    The best way to deal with them is-in my opinion-to not cooperate and defederate them as soon as they start to enter.

    I tend to agree. Still quite new to the topic.

    Sehr guter Beitrag, ja! Ich sehe eigentlich keine Chance für den Fall, dass das Fediverse weiter wächst?

    Meta kann uns auf mehreren Ebenen durcheinanderwirbeln, und alle sind per Design weit offen dafür.

    Sie können mehr Content, mehr User, mehr Aktivität haben, was sie für große Teile des bisherigen Fediverse unwiderstehlich attraktiv macht.

    Sie können Features implementieren, die sich die Leute wünschen. Eine gut implementierte Suchfunktion, Community Grouping, einen einfachen Account Transfer, Search Engine Lookup, KI-gestützte Mod-Tools.

    Ist doch letztlich nur eine Frage von: Wie interessant ist das Fediverse für Meta, und wie interessant macht sich Meta wiederum für das Fediverse?

    Klar wird es eine Gruppe von Instanzen oder Leuten geben, die sich durch nichts bezirzen lassen, aber vermutlich wird es für die meisten Leute ab irgend einem Punkt vernünftiger erscheinen, zumindest teilweise zu folgen.

    Was lässt sich dagegen effektiv unternehmen?

    There are instance-independent links to communities, for example: [FindAKbin@kbin.social](/c/FindAKbin@kbin.social). The good thing about it is, it will keep you on your home instance logged in while visiting the target. How to make a similar thing to link to specific posts, or specific comments?

And every one of those places was built to be walkable, as every one of those places was built before automobiles were common. Again, with very few exceptions. > A hundred years ago, you could get a train from almost any city to just about any other city on the continent, and even many towns and villages, too. The reason those train stations don't exist anymore is because they were bulldozed, often to make room for highways, along with the walkable downtowns they were connected to. --- 5:46 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=346s > American cities were not built for the car, they were bulldozed for the car. --- 6:03 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=363s > There are [dozens of city pairs in the U.S that are the perfect population and distance for high-speed rail or high frequency rail](https://files.catbox.moe/3x0wct.png), and [CityNerd has made a video about this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlxohbiQG6Y&t=232s) if you'd like more details. --- 6:16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=376s > Canada may be a huge country, but about 50 percent of the entire population lives in this little area, which is literally in a line. --- 6:27 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=387s > [This is Japan to scale](https://files.catbox.moe/x3oq3l.png), the country famous for all it's trains. So yes, Canada, you can build a high-speed train between Toronto and Montreal. --- 6:37 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=397s > Here's [China with it's high-speed rail map](https://files.catbox.moe/0weo5j.png). --- 7:17 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=437s > The Schengen zone is not constant and new countries are being added every few years. For example, Croatia was just added in 2023 and Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus and Montenegro plan to join in the near future. But if that happens, will Amsterdam need to tear up all their bike lanes, because the Schengen zone is too big? No, of course not, that would be stupid. Which is the same reason why saying America is too big for bike lanes is also stupid. --- 7:45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=465s > The fact is, it is possible to build walkable neighborhoods everywhere. They have existed in every country on Earth for thousands of years, and it is possible to connect those walkable places together by high quality public transportation, to make it so that people can go from any walkable area to any other walkable area regardless of the size of the city the country or the continent. --- 8:18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=498s > Even if size did matter, then [why isn't Maryland covered in bike lanes and train tracks, or Hawaii, or Prince Edward Island](https://files.catbox.moe/w7vvat.png)? --- 10:22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=622s > [The United States destroys over 750'000 acres of natural and agricultural land every year](https://www.farmprogress.com/business/urban-sprawl-erodes-rural-lands) [*note: the source talks about 1,200 square miles*] to build sprawling suburbs. And Ontario, Canada (where I'm from) [destroys 175 acres of farmland *per day*](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/urban-development-disappearing-farmland-ontario-1.6044620) to build more car-dependent suburbia. That is a *choice*. --- 10:43 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=643s > When Americans say something like "U.S cities are too big and spread out to do - *whatever*" then yes, that's true. But that is literally the problem that urbanists are trying to solve, so it's not really helpful to restate the problem, and then use that as the excuse as to why it can't be solved. --- 11:26 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=686s > The Dutch make great places, while North Americans make excuses.

    Looking for communities related to the [Unity Game Engine](https://unity.com/). It's a pain to search for, since every comm***unity*** was made with Unity :) Alternatively, can I force tools like https://browse.feddit.de/ to only show 'exact' matches, discarding 'contains'?

    app.traveltime.com

    I use this tool when I'm looking for a place to move home. While the maps for walking and cycling look rather unsurprising, the maps for driving and public transports can reveal surprising insights. I don't want to check apartments only to find out they are too far away from my points of interest. And with too far away, I naturally mean *time, not distance*. Traveltime Maps helps with that. So I create a map layer centered around my workplace, a layer for friends, a layer for another point of interest. The common overlap area is the area in which I would be willing to live. By definition, all my regular trips can be done within the time limit I find acceptable. An example for Tokyo, public transport, 75 minutes: ![](https://files.catbox.moe/jhvhqv.png)
