@PugJesus@lemmy.world it’s time to “cross the Rubicon” to full federation!

These are all excellent communities, and invariably some of my favorite posts of the day. I’m seeing them on lemmy.world, btw.

!cyberpunk@lemmy.zip - mostly games, movies, shows, and music in the cyberpunk sci-fi genre

!wavemusic@lemmy.world - music: synthwave, vaporwave, etc. A fairly new community, a couple different people have been posting

!gothindustrial@lemmy.world - music community. I was hoping someone else would make the 300th post, if not I’ll post something later today.

!fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee - a larger community, a couple of us are posting regularly, but could use more discussion

!fedigrow@lemm.ee - a community about how to help grow the fediverse. @Blaze@reddthat.com has been posting a weekly thread on “how is your [niche] community doing?” which is kind of like a support group for people keeping communities alive

edit: how could I forget, !shortstories@literature.cafe - links to short stories online in all genres

I thought the swiss people seemed sometimes kinda "rude"or maybe a better word for it “cold” and a little annoyed

I have some Swiss-American relatives, and I think this is cultural. They just have a different set of indicators, they’re not going to be grinning and hugging.

I have a friend who went to London and just ate at Whole Foods all the time. So, vegans can survive.

“smoke copium, non-resident”?

visiting a neat-sounding community and realizing all the posts are by the single moderator (and are getting less and less frequent).

This will be a key moment towards Lemmy’s growth or decline. Especially in non-tech/meme/politics communities, it’s so easy for the only poster be a single person who is posting daily, and who then simply runs out of content. Maybe the solution is for each frequent poster to post non-daily on several different communities. Anyway, check out !fedigrow@lemm.ee, @Blaze@reddthat.com has started posting a weekly thread on “How is your niche community doing?”

Finally, wave comes to lemmy.

!synthwave@lemmy.world has been here a while and there was waveform.social before that, but it’s good to see a community with an active mod. I think I’m a switch to this one.

But what is missing is a more generalized infrastructure for detecting content ownership and providing compensation in a general purpose way. This is one of the great business opportunities of the next few years, awaiting the kind of breakthrough that pay-per-click search advertising brought to the World Wide Web.

There are people out there who looked at the World Wide Web and immediately thought: “how can I use this for advertising?” From that type of perspective, this is a well-thought-out summary of AI-related copyright issues.

if you took the world and seperated its humans by intelligence, the “idiot” group is going to be much bigger than the “PhD” group. Like…by a lot.

No… you’d have a bell curve. But even that assumes you have a single good measure of intelligence.

I kind of agree with the rest of your post, but I would have worded it a bit differently, emphasizing that people who found it difficult to start using Lemmy might still be worth having around. Also, I don’t think “as large as Reddit” or “small niche unknown” are our only options.

“We can’t tell you what you’ll get, and we can’t tell you what you’ll pay for it.” Sounds like a corporate dream scenario.

I think many people see it as normal/expected.

Yes, that’s it. People born in the early part of last century (my grandparent’s era) only knew over-the-air TV which in the US included commercials. It was just part of reality, like billboards by the highway.

When you defend, print out your slides; at least enough for your committee and you. Then if all else fails, you can present off the paper copies. (also, it gives the committee members somewhere to write notes and to easily look back to previous slides.)

Yeah but you’re right.

I just say: “It’s like email. There are different email servers, but they can all talk to one another. If there are things you really like, you can subscribe to them, and if there are things you don’t like, you can block them.”

Or replace “email” with “instant messages”.

at least two people with Lemmy World accounts downvoted this post.

Maybe they don’t like the thought of Ruud getting older.

Meaning you dance with a partner. I do not have a very much experience with it (about 16 lessons, with half of them being repeats). I go there with some people I know, but am not all too well acquainted with.

• Assume you are the least experienced dancer of your acquaintance group.
• Select the second-least experienced dancer of that group. That person will accept because they’ll look good by comparison.
• Have fun just trying out the basics with them and laughing about it.

Before that happens, they will just use all that screenshot data to train their AIs.
