As a side note, this section is probably one of the most visually beautiful things live ever seen in a game. It was one of those moments that really hit me in my chest and made me really afraid the music couldn’t live up to its splendor.

I see. The explicit glorifying of a single project instead of the overall idea, technology, effort makes sense.
Regardless…

- So, it seems like PieFed is becoming a real alternative to Lemmy…
- Most of these will also be available in Lemmy 1.0 soon!

I see. Thank you for the response, and Oh! Thank you for a statistics reference shared, with the “lot” statistics, actual discussion, and comparisons, and your actual opinion on it!
I.e. Comparisons between personal instance with their locally limited ActivityPub for their own environment/platform, and this - explicit change, which affects absolutely everyone who is in Lemmy, and whispers silently:

- “Private, private, private, private…”,
- “Hey… why aren’t we a private Community yet? Turn it on, right now!”,
- “Let’s turn [email protected] into a pay-wall membership Private Community with limited number of payment methods, so that only sanctioned/unsanctioned people might actually pay and join! Since, why not? It’s just a check in everyone’s config! So easy - wait for over8000 Members, and switch from Public to Private, in a second!”.
… - “Oh, man… why is Lemmy so empty… Just 2 posts today over 50 Communities I am joined… Is all available in private Communities nowadays?”

“Not federated Private Communities” on federated networks as Lemmy, focused for private, transparency, and accountability?
What is the main point of it again, sorry?

Thank you… very much, @[email protected] …
Not only some are tired of this LLM/“AI”… but the “two kinds/types”? My dear… is it just “two persons” on this planet, world, universe… they consider?

- If I take a concrete block and grind it down to a fine powder and then add water, will it re-solidify?..

- Huzzah! In short the answer is no, mostly because the idea that concrete existing as both a solid and a liquid (or a flowable solid) is incorrect. Concrete in reality only exists as a solid. Before mixing, the dry components of concrete are a combination of binder and aggregate. The binder is typically portland cement (limestone, alumino-silicate, and calcium sulfate) while the aggregate is sand or rocks, the size of the aggregate varies depending on the mix and is tightly controlled. When water is added to the mix it reacts with calcium silicate (either tricalcium silicate or dicalcium silicate) and results in calcium silicate hydrate, calcium hydroxide, and heat. In a perfect world all of the calcium silicate would hydrate during the first 28 days, but sometimes a small percentage is left over and reacts slowly over time as the concrete is exposed to to the environment. This can cause expansion and cracking of the concrete. If you took cured concrete and ground it down, that minute portion of unhydrated calcium silicate would react, but it wouldn’t be nearly enough to hold the rest of the mixture together.

tl;dr Concrete is formed through a chemical reaction, and can’t be ground down and used again.

Fly ash, flue ash, coal ash, or pulverised fuel ash (in the UK) - plurale tantum: coal combustion residuals (CCRs) - is a coal combustion product that is composed of the particulates that are driven out of coal-fired boilers together with the flue gases…

Owing to its pozzolanic properties, fly ash is used as a replacement for Portland cement in concrete. The use of fly ash as a pozzolanic ingredient was recognized as early as 1914, although the earliest noteworthy study of its use was in 1937. Roman structures such as aqueducts or the Pantheon in Rome used volcanic ash or pozzolana (which possesses similar properties to fly ash) as pozzolan in their concrete. As pozzolan greatly improves the strength and durability of concrete, the use of ash is a key factor in their preservation.

Use of fly ash as a partial replacement for Portland cement is particularly suitable but not limited to Class C fly ashes. Class “F” fly ashes can have volatile effects on the entrained air content of concrete, causing reduced resistance to freeze/thaw damage. Fly ash often replaces up to 30% by mass of Portland cement, but can be used in higher dosages in certain applications. In some cases, fly ash can add to the concrete’s final strength and increase its chemical resistance and durability.

I am not very into the humor type in the ending…
But I must admit, that the shift from the actual events into an imagination through the comics layout dividers is dear freaking ingenious…
Thank you very much for the marvel you do, and incredible idea, dear Artist! ✨

Wonderful day! 🪐

Ha-ha! Of course, it’s okay to add emojis (or even emotes (/ o.o)/) to an accountable CV for responsible job to get trusted for! 😂
Especially those for security 🔒, privacy 🕵️‍♀️, transparency 👁‍🗨…

If I would look at such CV in search 🧭 for a trusted developer 👩‍💻, sys-admin 💻, manager 📜, accountant 💸, and for military forces ( -.-)7, sure thing the pretty pictures would increase the feel of trust to the level of the outer space and beyond!!!1 💪

Oh! And why just LinkedIn? Perhaps to enhance the sense of accountability, some would want to add emojis to some documents, including employment contracts, Banking issues, weaponry certificates, and passports! Let’s make it shine in sparkles! ✨

Look! LOL! OMG! This is the colleague on fields we need! They have these lovely emojis! Let’s hire them right now!
Since, “There’s no crying in Special Forces!”

Hurrah! Congratulations, dear Duke Nukem, and the Developers and Artists, the Community!

Balls of steel, right Sam?

Perhaps I am too rarely on Facebook/Meta or in Communities that are not into these politics.

I am sorry, but what do you mean by “Russian propaganda”? It feels like I’ve never seen such on Facebook.

What a nonsense, sorry…

Human is human already, regardless how they speak and what they do…
There’s always true sympathy and empathy to find in a human, regardless how busy, dark, erroneous etc. they are…
Yet, it’s the true alive soul inside in every person…

Medics are likely tired, doing their job every single day, yet they have empathy, and will always try to listen if you actually try…
They know what PAIN, AGONY, DEATH, SORROW… fear means…

LLM/“AI” will always pretend to be a human, since it’s “trained”/designed, to be so, and will always be limited and incomplete…
Not to mention the initial dataset of numerous emphatic actual human has its limited memory inside, no one is responsible for.

What a hopeless sorrow is that awful trendy, advertised, mind-atrophying mess…

Ineffably magnificent… of course… no words…

The universal international language about world, nature, universe… for people…

May I ask you why do you want to invest your life time into math exactly?
Is there any actual personal task to accomplish with math?
What do you want to actually do with math?
Why do find math interesting?
Why math of anything?

Holy gracious smokes… These are ineffably magnificent…
Thank you very much for the marvel, art you do…

One of the most interesting parts is that it’s absolutely safe! It’s not dye or another edible ingredients, but a physical microstructure on the surface! They likely used forms (e.g. molds) of some sort with microscopic shapes where chocolate fills up, crystalizes, and voila! The micro shape on the surface of the chocolate now is able to diffract light, relatively similar to how CD/DVD do, as in dear miracles…

Wonderful day! ✨

Just in case, have you tried any of the clients for the open-source audited standard KeePass (e.g. KeePassXC, KeePassDX, KeeWeb etc.)?
Though, it requires a manual device/database synchronization logic for certain clients/projects.

Absolutely not, sorry. No. Never. The terrible sorrow you shared that pollutes, disgraces, devalues, and horribly damages the whole employment processing etc. is for “automating the job application process”.

The question is “gathered job listings”, which is for searching, not applying with no effort and value, I believe. These are utterly different cases/purposes. The former may indeed support someone in search. The later…? Dear, please… no…

But… why… Why rewrite/redo what already works, is marvelous, and is overly customizable, safe, and convenient…
Why not do something more important and valuable? Is that to just burn funding into void?

Since this “AI” events on Firefox, I reconsidered my stance for Firefox 4th time now, and installed another browser.
Likely as you, I did also donate montery, and 2 people I know did, too. I also donated to Thunderbird.

Why disturb, devalue, obliterate the history of all the contributors, too… This is… just freaking incredibly sorrowful… like someone tries to annihilate it… to darken, damage a miracle…

To be frank, I don’t know any case when Valve forced these rules, and even when someone reported such cases to Steam support directly. The response was just - “Thank you. We will check it out.”, and that’s it.

Self-published developers I am aware of have been considering these “rules” as fair suggestion from Valve who point out that it’s important to Valve stay afloat in competition, where many developers will just follow these getting the point, which is straightforward.

A few developers I know do find following this “rule” a respect towards the platform in general even.
