In what ways are you going to resist Trump's presidency? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Agreed. No one needs to answer this thread. Actually don't upvote either. Just think and share with others.

Yeah, I hope that no one that answers this gives full detailed plans I just want to know that I am not alone in feeling that we need to change our behaviour and hopefully prompt others to start thinking about what they are going to do. Things are fundamentally different now.

is there anywhere where i can download books in bulk? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

annas-archive.org

Edit: Also get some books on intentional communities and group survival while you're at it.

Edit2: Sorry just looked at the title didn't read the text. I mean you could try sorting by category or you could get an online list from a librarian about queer books and then manually download from that list of books.

Edit3: You might also be able to ask for help from the person who made this list: https://openlibrary.org/collections/LGBTQ. Most of the books seem to come from the internet archive which makes it easier for a mass download I believe.

Humans, bots and dogs on Lemmy, why do you dox yourself by giving such specific details about yourself? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Bots have good reason to do it, because it makes them more relatable.

Humans sometimes can't help themselves.

Some dogs like keeping blogs

Curating this volume of content is impossible, and there are legitimate dangers in giving the government too much ability to shut down free speech

Agreed. We have already given more than enough control to the government in other areas of our lives. We now have alternative social platforms that give us a chance to actually have more direct control over our media landscape which hasn't been true in such a long time.

you have to build a society that doesn’t want to engage with bigotry, and explore and question its own assumptions (and that’s not ever a fixed state, it’s an ongoing process).

I think this is what they were trying to get across when they mention media ecology. They were pointing out how the structure of where media is shared and its sources can be more important for quashing disinformation than the actual content itself.

So when something is shared through YouTube there are certain pressures that over time mold the source of information into a specific format.

I'd say the same is true of the Fediverse as well. That's why its important we get the structure here right because it will determine what kind of platform this place turns into.

Edit: grammar

Yeah there has also been an increase in the amount of companies either making FLOSS work more closed off or just not caring about them if it benefits their bottom line.

Unrelated I like your new profile pic.

Is a filter for muting Lemmy 'power users' possible? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

It shows me 93 comments and 2 posts for me. It probably just hasn't federated to your instance yet.

Trying to avoid US elections content as a non-US citizen. Is this possible on the default Lemmy-UI? I prefer it over Tesseract and Voyager (which have built-in keyword filters) in c/[email protected]
Is it normal to feel tired of technological progress? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yeah it is totally valid. Actually just came across someone that was talking about something similar to this.

https://youtu.be/S1ypWcqnojM

Edit: The main idea was that we as humans tend to get trapped in something called progress traps where as we advance technology we use that advance to over exploit our environment leading us to more problems down the line.

Multi-colored anthotype photograph? in c/[email protected]

Yeah I was hoping it could be all done physically. But thx for the advice.

Ok that does seem doable but how would I combine the paper at the end to create a colored picture?

Multi-colored anthotype photograph? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/30006359

I've been looking into anthotypes recently and thought they were pretty interesting.

Then I started to wonder if it was possible to make an anthotype that could display multiple colors (like a colored photograph).

I came across this post and thought it was like the reverse of a regular anthotype.

Which made me wonder if you could use the same process to create a colored picture?

I was thinking if you took plants that produce pigments across the color spectrum and mixed them together it could make the coating black.

Then when the light hits the paper it removes the pigments from the other colors on the spectrum only leaving the color that was hit in that space eventually creating a colored picture.

I haven't had the chance to try this yet and I am not really knowledgeable about photography, but would this work?

This is my first try at creating a map of lemmy. I based it on the overlap of commentors that visited certain communities.

I only used communities that were on the top 35 active instances for the past month and limited the comments to go back to a maximum of August 1 2024 (sometimes shorter if I got an invalid response.)

I scaled it so it was based on percentage of comments made by a commentor in that community.

Here is the code for the crawler and data that was used to make the map:

Instead of algorithms why don't we create a map of Lemmy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/27216373

Instead of focusing of creating good algorithms to push certain content to users why don't we focus on creating a good map that allows users to find the kind of content they want more easily?

I found this website that created a map of reddit with different countries for different topics and I thought it would translate to lemmy because instances sort of do this already really well.
