(Earlier also had @sga@lemmy.world for a year before I switched to lemmings)
one of the recent ones (as of my reading) is one piece - characters aged finely, world did change, but not unimaginably, and some bigger changes were elaborated in the story, maybe more will be done in due time.
I usually do not like time skips. Where I live, there are skips in daily soaps, whenever writers run out of idea, so what the just do is take a big "leap" of almost a generation growing, and often keep repeating the same story, but with new cast. As to why they don't discontinue? - this is done for some relatively mid or big size ips, smaller ones also have skips, but they usually can not afford to get a new cast, so they keep old cast (as the new cast will often require some time for acceptance (hence require a larger runway) and associated advertising costs) but add some kind of visible change to show some form of progression (maybe change in clothing style, of seasonal change, or maybe visible ageing)
Also i forgot to add a time skip/ world expansion i did not like - attack on titan. Story changed from a enigma to being country/racial feud. Maybe what i really did not like was how fast it all changed. I understand that it was one part also reflective of how persppective flippped for people within the walls,but i did feel that genre and style of story changed, as if i was dropped in middle of a new story.
so a no catharsis rule?
i did not say you are the bad guy, i am just saying, your comment did not add anything. I can see deleted stuff, and it was pretty bad (lets leave at that). nothing personal or anything like that.
So you think that like 30 people said it was deeply transphobic, but it wasn’t?
Never said that, i just said you don't know what they wrote (which you admitted to, which is absolutely fine) but then you add that it must be bad, which was already evident. If i point something wrong about your comment does not make anything original deleted content right. you both can be wrong (at least in my opinion) because we are talking about totally orthogonal stuff.
without even knowing what they wrote, hating on it is not cool. you are just saying hivemend is right. it may or may not be. but whatever it was, you saying it is shitty adds nothing
also, can you please go through some other comments regarding polotical news. I wanted to discuss with all mods, but you replied here, so that reduces job by some amount
constitution is just fancy speak. I was dramatizing a lot.
I want something similar to how blaze replied for good news everyone. Just a sort 3-4 rules.
I will try to message other mods before actually changing rules, but yes
i don't know a better way
the current problem with journals is that there is no money in it for authors. journals oly exist because of historical reasons, and older folks still value them.
Arxiv exists as a semi journal, which is some what cc4 (or some other cc of your choice) and that is great, but still one source.
You can just host your research papers as websites, as in just a web article, and use some vcs like github, codeberg, or self hosted forego system. That is arguably the best case.
I have a paper which is on arxiv, and my supervisor has been "polishing" it for a journal, but to me that is a useless process, because i almost never care about things like journal impact factor or h index. to me, the only thing valide is steps for reproducibility, that is, give me a recipe, and if i can recreate, then you did a great job. This could mean, for example, releasing all your raw unprocessed data.
how to handle reputation for who can review, but I think there are ways to do that and that’s beyond the scope of this post as I imagine it could get pretty complicated and would require feedback from people actually in the industry. The reviewers can submit comments and reviews back to the author via federation, but this time the process can be open instead of behind closed doors.
one of the reasons reviewers are effective is that the remain anonymous, that is why they can shit talk a lot. You would not have the slander, if you make the identity real.
I think we should not have reputation or verification, as i stated above, if you post on your own website, and not have gatekeeping. Yes a lot of the work may not meet "some standards". but even with current system, a lot of work is published which is substandard. if we can release work in open, and colaborate as we do for open source software, thart would be the ideal thing for me. Each issue could be a literal git issue, each correction can be a pull request, and so on. Fully transparent, and somewhat resistant to whole network failing. (assuming you have local copies, you can just spin another instance, and your paper still stays onloine)
this is my work. Our revious results showed correct trend, but, r^2 = 0.2. Got literally laughed at.
in simplification, you could derive that curvature of the orbit is basically the force between objects, with radius, from the centre of mass. Once you know curvature at a point, you ca define a series of curves fitting, and substitute with other postions to find all constants. And what is curvature? you can find online, that curvature is just a function of second order derivative, and you just have to solve a second degree differential equation.

i partially agree, but there are times where my own judgement is not good, and hence i want a somewhat object ruleset, which a majority amount of poulation agrees to. If i do all i want all will nilly, i would be a dictator. Now i could be a benovalent kind, but lets be honest, most are not, and i am no special human
it is "free" if you sail the seas
(but even if yo do everything legally, alcohol can be very expensive)
you can use pressurised air to clean the duct. Some verterbrates like to call it farts
and much cheaper/healthier too
that is close, but that is not quite exact. To a bad person, bad can happen, but through a just way, what i look to say is, we should not loose our humanity in the worst situations, and one of its parts is empathy. so bad happening to bad person maybe is bad because it is not through a just action, but lets say someone causing them personal trauma. If it happens by their own doing, that may still be "just" (in a self serving manner).
thank you, that is very much helpful. You have put what i have been feeling in a very clear manner
i am sorry, but the fictional stuff was necessity. Essentially the post is trying to ask you define uplifting things. But a subjective definition of a human emotion is very hard to base objective rules on, so i have posed many questions. basically questions would define a this is not uplifting limit for posts. It is mostly about politics, and when people bring in political preference and alignment for and against, they basically stop thinking. For more context, please go through other comments where i do go a bit more direct, but some amount of haziness was intentional.
Basically this post stemmed out from a post regarding "musk being depresssed" (now deleted) which is not uplifting to me, and so i asked in comments does this post belong here, and i also got down voted hard there. So i made this post trying to understanding what do people expect when they mean uplifiting. If i would have used words musk or trump people swing hard, and even if you make a statement not related to them, but somewhere they or anyone made any related statement, people swing hard again. I somewhat get why people do this, they are mad at them, which is fine, but they just do not really want to have a constructive discussion.
If you can help me draft a better way to put all this, then that would be very welcome and appreciated, languages (speaking and writing) is definitely not my best skill, i keep going away from my main points, and i really suck at drafting concise and neat stuff.
Questions from a moderator
Before beginning, I know this is not apprpriate question, and there may be better places to ask these questions. I also know that I as a mod am kinda abusing my powers 9not pinning the post, but still breaking the 1 important rule - to post a uplifting news, and this post is neither upliftiing nor a news. I also do not know how it is decided in other communities, I am a relatively new mod, so I do not know how to act in certain situations. But by the powers that have been vested to me by the gods (previous mods), I want to ask a lot of questions.
Also for the time being, lets say the world has 2 major groups, martians, and venusians, there are other minority groups too, but if funded govts can not bother to listen to them, how can i, a under paid corrupt mod do that. (/s just in case people do not get it).
What I am basically asking is, is please help me make a 'constitution' (for the galactic rulings, obviously) on how should I (or maybe others if they choose to accept it) moderate
YSK you can use custom keyboard symbols(keys), so you can easily enter symbols like αβγδ, or swap : -> ; and ; -> :
Many people might already be knowing this, for example people who use custom keyboard layouts, or people using different keyboard layouts, other than US, which most manufacturers and operating system and desktop environmnets use as default.
Most of my applications use vi like bindings, so pressing shift + ;
to get : was a bit annoying, and so i was trying to find a way to swap them, and while doing so, I added most of greek alphabet, makes my technical writing a bit more easier (instead of doing $alpha$, I can do alt + a
to get $α$), If you use TeX, then you can use #XeTeX to enter unicode, I use Typst, so I can directly use them, and they are used appropriately in text and equation mode. This also is helpful if your notes system does not have some math mode rendering (like plain markdown, without any katex).
If you are multilingual, but don't write much in the other language, this approach works well, if you

It is browser related, specifically qutebrowser, but i don't think the behaviour is qutebrowser specific, it may be chromium specific though, but i don't know how to test on any other browser because i hardly know js.

I was writing a way to redirect other lemmy instance links to my home instance. I am basically trying to write lemmyverse.link (it's working is explained in the following issue, but essentially we just ask the instance where we want to be redirected, if they have the post, if so, they return json, which will have post_id in that instance, and we can use that.
https://github.com/RikudouSage/lemmyverse.link/issues/14
I think I have implemented that somewhat successfully, and it works for all the instances that i have tried, except lemmy.world (why could it not be some tiny instance which i could ignore). For lemmy.world, bro
Is clipping cat nails good?
I ask this question because of this comment chain (and totally not because I got down voted and my ego is too fragile, it is most definitvely absolutely positevly me asking for the science. I swear)
https://lemmings.world/post/23635250/14708515
If you can go through it, please do, there are some references for some claims, if not you can go through the following ai generated summary (if it helps, it is a local llama)
The original poster (sga) expressed concerns about the practice of trimming cat nails, comparing it to declawing and suggesting that it may cause trauma for the cat. Other users (Bamboodpanda and Chairman Meow) responded that trimming cat nails is a normal and necessary practice, especially for indoor cats, to prevent overgrown nails and damage to furniture. sga argued that cat claws are an essential part of a cat’s predatory nature and that trimming them may impair their ability to hunt and defend themselves. Chairman Meow countered that cat nails are not as robust as
How to find a good school for masters? Or How to find phd offers?

A bit about my background - I am currently doing Bachelours of Technology (last semester) from a somewhat reputed university. (If you belive in those sham rankings - it is in top 200 in world).
I want to do a doctorate (and stay in academia/research, not interested in industry). I am still not fixated on a particular research field (intersted by many things) but I have a strong inclanation towards one, so currently that only.
One option is to do phd in my current uni only, but thing is that my uni is not that great in terms of research (can be generalised to country as well to some extent) - mostly it comes down to lack of funding and lack of students interested in doing research, most people are interested in joing some or other industry.
Other option is to go abroad. Considering the current environment, my current preference would be "Europe only".
From what I know, doing a do

In situ additive ceramic manufacturing
I had this effectively a shower thought idea - why don't we have ceramic 3d printing?
Let me clarify - before posting, I looked it up, and I could not find exactly what I was looking for. There are already commercial offereings for Clay 3D printing, but that is not forming the ceramic in situ, we are depositing what is effectively ceramic in a solvent, and drying it. What I was thinking was making the ceramic on site.

A message of Non-Violence
I don't want to write a very long post, but I just wanted to remind everyone about this.
I recently learnt about protest on February 5th, and just wanted to spread this. The wiki page has a huge table of non-violent protests.
I know many people are disheartened, and in such circumstances, people often resort to violence (sometimes to send messages, sometimes in response to another violence, sometimes in catharsis).
I am from land of Gandhi, and a huge admirer of his work. Many people even in my country today feel Gandhi was useless or found him problematic for n number of reasons, some partially valid, many not, but this post is not about him. What I want to highlight is his idea of Satyagraha - it is essentially a exercise in (and for) truth. 2 famous non violent movements of his time being civil disobedience and non-cooperation. Names give the core ideas away - but essentially - break laws peacefully. To elaborate - 1 of them was against a salt tax law. They just made salt, and di
Dreams are basically simulations
Dreams are basically simulations of our lives that we run, sometimes with different physical constants, resulting in different worldly behaviours. Fever dreams (not necessarily during a fever) are when we are sweeping over a range of constants, so behaviour keeps on changing.

Old title - Tolerance - Is violence ever justified?
For reference - https://lemmings.world/post/19791264 and all comments below the post about tolerance and non-tolerance
is it too naive for me to believe any and every lives matter? I do understand if someone is coming for my life, and i stop him by retaliating back, most nation's laws would deem me innocent, maybe even most people will - but was it right?
It has not happened with me yet, and this is post is not politics related, a general discussion about tolerance, but I dont know how will I respond to such a situation, Is there a correct approach?
I know in a imaginary utopia - we can have a society where everyone thinks any violence, or for that matter, any evil deed is evil. And I know real world is far from being a utopia, but i believe most people can differentiate between good and bad. In my opinion, most people who do such acts are not really doing it because they enjoy it, some do because they have to, some think they h
