Hmmm, tbh, I don't think that's a feature I'd want. Every now and again you see "that guy" furious that he's getting downvotes, doubling down and trying to start an argument or something. I don't need that guy showing up in my DMs.
You're probably making a joke, but I'll explain it just in case anyway. It's Prequel Trilogy (movies 1-3), Original Trilogy (movies 4-6), Sequel Trilogy (movies 7-9), and Expanded Universe (books, TV shows, comics, games, etc), fairly established terms within the Star Wars fandom.
As a bonus, there's also "Legends", referring to the EU content Disney decanonized when they started the sequels.
This is very intriguing.... I actually work in CBC (nowhere near content or with the social media people who'd make these kinds of decisions), but as a developer I get 20% time to dabble with anything I think might be useful. I haven't used it in a while, but a CBC ActivityPub instance may be just the right project, especially if it can auto-publish our content from the same feeds that power our site.
Eh, there's a lot of valid things to be skeptical about. Using these tools as a DM is fundamentally different from using them as a massive corporation, as you're not considering replacing your team of talented artists and writers to cut costs.
That said, done right, I also think this could be amazing. Legally train these models on the wealth of historical D&D art, and provide it to DMs to use during their campaigns to make maps, art for places the DM is describing on the fly, all of these things that no artist could possibly make because these locations are being invented on the fly as the players throw a skilled DM curveballs. D&D feels like an ideal "problem" for a lot of the "solutions" AI has to offer.
I also feel like a lot of the value of chronological is lost if I think it's algorithmic recommendations. If I don't know I'm browsing the latest? I'll likely just think the algorithm is serving up some garbage. Especially somewhere like Facebook, where people haven't really been curating their feed for years, just... following whoever to be polite and letting the algorithm take care of it.
That's too bad. I run a VPN on my phone 24/7, literally set to the country I live in, it's just for privacy/security. Incredibly annoying that now the F1 app will be obnoxious about that.
Yeah, I think lots of people had FOMO about missing updates whenever the App Store version dropped, and mistook the stability of "preparing for release" as what the stability would be long term.
Yeah man, same boat. I actually do have NSFW disabled, but I've still blocked at least a dozen or two lemmynsfw communities for actresses, celebs, gentlemenboners, ladyboners, ladyladyboners, just a metric ton of SFW porn communities.
Would make things so much easier if I could outright block the instance, and heck, maybe I'd even turn on NSFW in that case.
Eh, that's the church as an institution. I mean religion in the more abstract sense. Political leanings becoming tied to a religious stance has become ridiculous, and has watered down Christianity quite a lot, to the point where even Trump gets to go pray once a year and call himself the Christian vote. It's also been remarkably divisive, as naturally, a lot of Christians aren't that, and hot political debates somehow become religious debates.
Tying religion to politics has allowed politics to slowly pull that horse further and further, to the point where "Christianity" now means southern fundamentalism to a lot, maybe even most, people. I think without political influence, we'd be a lot closer today to how Christianity started, and is meant to look.
My money is on this one. Once we find a more sustainable way to get meat, and that scales to the globe, whatever that method is, I think the idea of keeping animals only to kill then will quickly be viewed as abhorrent.
Likely won't be as quick as within 20 years, however. Lots of companies currently making a fortune selling meat who will stand in the way of that.
Yeah, I've realized I mostly want "social media" as a place to create discussions. For that, honestly, the smaller community size is perfect.
I find massive communities have a way of devolving into hive minds. Once you reach a critical mass of people who think one thing, any comment to the contrary is just... obliterated, whether by an exhausting amount of argument, or downvotes. And then it just becomes known that that's the opinion of the community, and people stop even bringing it up. At least that's my theory on how it happens.
Over here, with a smaller community size, I'm finding a lot more genuine conversation, no matter the topic. It's awesome. And I'm still finding Lemmy large enough to bring me interesting links and memes to talk about.
Makes sense, and I think you've got the right idea. The development pace has been incredible, but Memmy for iPhone can still get better, and should, as that's the primary customer base.
I'd say, once Memmy is excellent, supports all different kinds of sites and image viewers, handles different kinds of content, is super accessible, has themes, filters, settings, and just generally everything you'd reasonably want to build, then maybe take your time and use the tools Apple provides to give a great iPad experience. Then once that's done and battle tested, maybe even a great Mac experience.
iPad, and hell I believe even MacOS on M1 if you allow it, can both use the iOS version until then.
TestFlight is beta. Faster, more frequent updates, with a higher chance of receiving a broken update. Everything that comes to beta will go to the stable version eventually, once it's polished and cleaned up.
If you like living on the cutting edge a little bit, and giving feedback to the developer, stick with TestFlight. If you'd prefer a more stable experience, and get really annoyed by bugs or issues, go with the App Store version.
Thank you! I've just been browsing with NSFW turned off, but:
A) I actually would rather turn on the blur function if there wasn't literal porn throughout the "all" feed.
B) A bunch of mild soft core stuff like "pretty women" and "celebs" gets through anyway.
Can't believe it never occurred to me to use the block button to shape the all feed.
Eh, I'd assume the comparison isn't flattering. I think the point of this article is to argue you don't need ElasticSearch to implement a competent Full Text Search for most applications. Splitting hairs over a few milliseconds would just distract from that point, when most applications should be prioritizing simplicity and maintainability over such tiny gains in a reasonable dataset.
Might be interesting to try to analyze at exactly what point elasticsearch becomes significantly useful, however. Maybe at the point where it saves a full tenth of a second? Or where it's returning in half the time? Could be an interesting follow up article.
Sounds like it's just going to be a trophy of some kind, which would be alright. It's a pretty darn impressive accomplishment to keep it together in both qualifying and race sessions, so I'd imagine the teams/drivers may actually be proud of them. Not going to be a big deal for viewers though, obviously.
Oooh, good point. As an admin/moderator feature, that's a much better idea.
