I honestly can’t see anyone but an insignificant fraction of the general population ever using this.

There are only a few people who would benefit from taking the time to learn a how to use this contraption and even fewer who would bother.

The last line should really say “hold my potatoes”

Even better: wash yourself regularly and avoid synthetic fabric.

You should cross post this to !linguistics@lemmy.ml

They have forgotten the sacred scriptures!

“And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.”

from The Book of Mozilla, 7:15

Thanks for the interesting article.

There is no way the fediverse can reimplement r/place feature by feature. A federated Place would have to be different. It could be a month long project ora even permanent one, probably with a slower update rate.

I like the idea of people seeing different things depending on the server they use and who that server federates with or blocks (https://lemmy.world/comment/1749093).

But maybe the fediverse should look for its own thing rather than try to imitate.

Very cool, but this is not federated.

I wonder what the federated version of r/place would look like. It should not be too hard to create a collaborative pixel board and accept input from anywhere in the fediverse. But we would need to come up with some cool fedi spin. A chessboard, maybe, where every server has a square?

In the future, when the fediverse is more mature, it would be cool to create something.

H2g2 would make an amazing show. And we could finally find out what happened to earth.

Oh my god, gpt has clearly digested tons and tons of teenage fanfic, I can recognise the style from a mile away.

Feel free to summarise it for us when you are done ('cause I ain’t reading it anytime soon)

Hahahaha, but you should attach the image instead of linking to it, and maybe post this to programmershumor

Honestly I wouldn’t want anything baked into the protocol, but I can see people donating small amounts to the instance hosting a worthy comment if there was a simple enough way to do it.

Cryptocurrencies were supposed to enable that, but I think we are still a long way away (no, lighting does not qualify).

I can’t honestly tell if any of this really has a future, but it should super interesting.

They are two separate projects with similar goals (implement a Reddit clone). They both use the activitypub protocol, so they can generally interoperate. Other activitypub based services, such as mastodon, can also interact with either Lemmy or kbin, but in a more limited and clunkier way.

Lemmy was started first so there are more servers and more users, kbin is more recent.

Great news, now require the producers to standardise on 2 or 3 different battery shape formats!

On a side note, I wonder if there will be a market for slightly thinner phones with non replaceable batteries imported from foreign markets.
