My first thought was literally "man, what are they going to do when they run out of numbers?!"...

May be a minor bug but was a big fix for me! Thank you MV-GH and everyone involved for making this happening in a speedy manner :)

I'm genuinely curious why? I read a little bit about Cara and sure it sounds nice but what's particularly stopping them from pulling the same move as Meta in the future?

Fair point, I'm somewhat skeptical and don't want my favourite artists jumping from app to app (they already have to deal with so many platforms). I can see why so many moved to that platform since I'm unaware of any activitypub applications that protects against data harvesting. Personally, enjoying Cara far more than Instagram since I mainly used it to follow artists.

What I can readily see happening is when these "AI regulations" get introduced and Cara begins allowing AI-gen art on their platform, this will further divide and fragment. I hope I'm wrong.

It's almost impressive the levels and varieties of tone-deaf a single person is capable of.

anyone who was planning to not even understand, let alone use, statistics in psych of all disciplines should seek a different vocation.

It's literally the only way to make sense and genuine progress, especially compared to those 20th century old rich dudes who were high af, used anecdotes, derived causal effect from correlations, and made "findings" that reinforced their own biases and beliefs.

Do everything right, and the number's won't lie to you. It's never wrong, it's just unexplained.

It is wild that this post about a harmless abbreviation that refers to cringey (but endearing to me) narrow slice of early-mid 2000s internet culture got this reaction out of you. Something that could be ignored or looked up.

Be it Lemmy or the communities you stumble upon, but perhaps some introspection about how you respond and interact with the internet could use a revisit.

My mom uses Linux, btw

I installed Debian + KDE on my mom’s laptop. She hasn’t had a complaint since. How tech-savvy is she, you ask? I’m sitting with her right now, so out of politeness she put on headphones to watch her favorite soap opera. Mind you, the headphones weren’t plugged into the laptop. She was sitting there, headphones on her...

going to use your title in lieu of "I use arch btw"

Made me have a healthier relationship with social media, my smartphone usage, and overall thinking. I almost exclusively used RiF and curated it enough that I could readily get lost in it for hours in threads and/or following drama.

I knew what I liked about reddit was the mods, the 3rd party apps, and the communities, and the company behind the website was the least appealing ineffectual part of the experience. They were slow in every sense of the word and consistently made out-of-touch decisions.

Lemmy was a great transition point for me. At first I was trying to treat it as a clone. Instead, I found a place (and the fediverse in general) where there wasn't a mass amount of resources spent to keeping me engaged - it's just content of the day, no strings attached.

I found a space that was indifferent to the amount of time I spent on it, passionate communities that were more responsive and literate, and just felt more respected as a person.

low-key might use this for future memes - there's an uncanny quirkiness that draws the attention hahaha

all memes are beautiful.

I see the main issue with anything theoretically "sound" is that humans are making the decisions. Human bias, and forgive the drama, make everything worse including science.

Look at what we've done with the environment, introducing invasive species, pet-breeding, colonialism destroying literally tens-of-thousand of years of culture and people because we thought we were "right".

There's an inherent arrogance that's led us into this mess and only recently some have thought to ask "hey, these people and culture have lived and thrived without disrupting the natural ecosystems, let alone cause measurable changes to the climate - maybe they're experts in how to survive and nurture this place?

People will use whatever justification the can readily grab to do incredible destructive things and forgo responsibility by referring to science or religion alike. We can do better.

There's pros and cons., though personally I used this calendar for my fiction writing.

I'd like to find a way to sync the lunar cycle and solar cycles since the earth's, moon's, and revolutions around the sun are soooo close (5 days off) plus it'd make sense to keep in theme with the Babylonian-esque base-60 system (where 60 is readily divided and a factor of 360 days, 12 months, 30 days, etc).

Which is pretty much what the Ancient Egyptians did.

*edit: pretty much have 5 "fake days" and add a sixth "fake" day to account for the gradual desync.
