No clue but maybe you confused it with this one?

Using IP laws to legislate this could also lead to disastrous consequences, like the monopolization of effective AI. If only those with billions in capital can make use of these tools, while free or open source models become illegal to distribute, it could mean a permanent power grab. If the capitalists end up controlling the “means of generation” and we the common folk can’t use it.

I imagine that theoretically you could have algorithms or machine learning to calibrate this. Like make test sounds so you see how the sound diffuses and then filter it out.

Arthur Wesley after all also bought a muggle car and bewitched it.

Thanks! That is really my only impression, Arthur, even though an expert in Muggles, sees only amusement value in muggle tech. That’s why I’d think there isn’t really any significant trade possible. Wizards can just create anything with magic. Except maybe land. So the exchange rate would drop if you’d try to trade significantly more. Just my speculation of course :)

Recent studies in psychology and neuroscience offer systematic evidence that fictional works exert a surprisingly strong influence on readers and have the power to shape their opinions and worldviews.

Huh thanks, not that interested in the Potterverse specifically but that first bit is very interesting.

This is way too long lol. Did you read it? So do they trade with muggles?

I don’t know, I thought wizards can turn anything in pretty much anything. They have no “material needs”, which would explain why they overwhelmingly have no interest to really cooperate with the muggles. If there was any material advantage then it would have happened long ago. So if you’re worldbuilding you’d need to make some rules that muggles can give wizards something besides “useless gold” :D

Afaik muggles have no currency that would be a interest to wizards.

The error message says “.exe” and looks like a dot net namespace.

I’ve seen this list https://join-lemmy.org/apps

But I only want browser apps, or local hosted / electron apps. I’d have easier options if I finally switched to linux of course. I wish there was a good review to compare all the options. I use the basic web app on slrpnk.net currently but I do miss a few things. For example:

• Way to selectively hide posts I’ve already seen (there is an option but it’s in settings and hard to toggle)
• A drop down menu for new inbox messages that can open in new tabs
• New messages should be smarter about when I’ve “read” them
• Collapse side bar without having to zoom to 170%
• Scale font and alter the theme
• Have images be the full width of the browser window without margins
• Merge multiple communities into one
• Endless scrolling

I think the idea is that only the big platforms have to offer a protocol for interoperability You could always disable that in matrix or chat with someone on another chat protocol unencrypted.

But the real advantage is that someone on those big chat apps can just switch to a different (more secure) app without loosing his contacts. Basically this should be a huge boost for open source and trustworthy messaging apps. At least from what I’ve read here:

Only 52 unscheduled regurgitation!

Hmm, wouldn’t that make it worse? Because then you have to give your real name, no?

Thanks for putting it so well. I’d give you reddit gold but I only have this rock: 🪨 Maybe it’ll comes in handy one day!

PS: Consumerism also drives climate change and the potential genocide of many or even all people of earth.

It’s a cross-post from lemmy.world. Hope I’m doing it right.

I’d like to know how one is supposed to cross post properly too. This links to .world website where you can’t comment and you can’t click directly on the article url. Afaik you have to use the search function to find the federated post on your local instance (https://slrpnk.net/post/6853635) and then click cross post there. Which just creates a new post with a link to the original article and a link in the summary to “https://lemmy.world/post/12143683” (isntead of your local instance). I think lemmy is still missing functionality in that area so you can cross post stuff better “after the fact”.

“throw everything away and start again” really aligns well

Haha no. But you would have free reign to create something new and experiment with and then demonstrate - without having to content with certain forces. It can’t be the only solution, but it could be a way to demonstrate to people a 5 min village. Like $20.000 for a sustainable luxury apartment with an amazing view (probably way too optimistic). That might lead to more people wanting change in housing policies and real estate ownership.

A while back I thought about creating a kind of planned community. Get land somewhere, or “take over” an existing village / county somewhere and change the local ordinances / zoning. So people would buy in and invest money or resources or just time and labour (crowdfunding). Then build it from scratch.

Have enough agricultural land, have your own water collection, power generation for the village and transportation to the nearest city. Basically becoming a kind of real estate developer. Or something like a kibbutz.

This seems the only realistic option because cities have such incredibly forces / money interests at work.

Cheers, didn’t know that something like a usable “open images dataset” existed. Awesome.

The last bit isn’t really relevant for your app, just a general rant really. It’s just that I’d like better image viewing support all around. Like in browsers there is an image and you can click on it but then a new tab opens. I have imagus but it’s not ideal and restricts the image to the smaller browser window. In the explorer I have quicklook now that opens images with space but the zoom feature is half assed too. Then many images apps have long startup times (>0.2 secs) or are bloaty. It’s just a bit annoying that it’s 2024 and PCs still can’t handle images really well.

Sorry if these are stupid questions.

Does this only show these foss_photo_libraries and your local photos?

Does it support jpegXL?

I’d love a seamless zoom feature for images in the browser. I use imagus but I’d love if the popup window could zoom to be bigger than the browser window.

Yeah I got into Fusion360 a while back but predictably it gets worse and worse. Now I have to learn freecad so I don’t run into the same shit again lol

Yeah. Except time and money. Or maybe the simulation would be too inaccurate and only give a false sense of safety? That’s the only reason I can think of why not to do this.
