More used to seeing articles panic about video games, so it's nice to see a positive article about them. Especially with a demographic not really known for playing them. I'm not the eSport type but this is going to be me when I am old, playing games while the kids yell at me to get off the ancient PC and get with the VR2000 times. It's just nice to see people being happy and healthy.

I am guessing the one big thing might be a Map of Content (basically just a Table of Contents). A big cluster could be all the notes for a project, and all those notes would get listed and linked to in the Map of Content for easy access, and so they get one giant node here.

Thank you for posting here. Wish I could contribute too but the academic articles I have read since becoming aware of this community do not have anything that fits the community.

I am, totally forgot that I was. I do remember it's smaller than !newcommunities@lemmy.world and sometimes gets duplicates, which is why I think I thought I did not bother.

I went to lemmy.world, the biggest community, searched the community list for my various interests, and picked one to subscribe to from there, generally favoring the largest community for it. Then I subbed to !newcommunities@lemmy.world. That's how I did and do community discovery.

I've learned that checking comments in UpliftingNews is often counterproductive. Uplifting news, then someone posts a comment that just invokes depression all over again. Yes, I am directly referencing the user above you's comment as one such comment—though just in case anyone is curious I didn't downvote (in case one shows up), on topic, probably correct, and I don't see anything on the sidebar saying depressing comments about how bad the thing the good news is opposing is would be against the rules.

So why am I in the comments now? Unfortunately bad habits are hard to break.

Nope. I heard about how basically anything you expose to the internet gets attacked really quick by script kiddies and hackers, so I figure you have to have a lot of cybersecurity/networking knowledge that I don't to do that successfully.

Also, not even sure what I'd put up there. I'm not too sure anyone super cares about my personal projects besides maybe my friends, and I can just text them.

This is probably a boring reply and not the answer you were looking for, but "no" is indeed a valid answer to the question and it is Fediverse engagement ¯(ツ)_/¯ if this was a big community such that I knew your thread would be guaranteed to get replies, I would not have given the "no" kind of answer you probably were not looking for. Also, I do think my reasons why I do not have a website might be able to spark some discussion.

The will to post is there but the amount of journaling I do is zero and will remain so. I would post some of my PKMS stuff there if I did any this week, but right now I have not added anything to that.

I could put effort into contributing to my PKMS specifically to have stuff to post on the Fediverse but I also have things I need to do in my real life.

For anyone else reading through this, the article has things about building a better space online, but also a long retrospective on their own attempt and its failures.

Thanks for the description. I don't follow award ceremonies so just going by the title it is really unclear why is this supposed to be uplifting, and comes off as just typical celebrity news. The description tells me neatly, and lets me click on the article if I want further elaboration.

I appreciate that the sidebar manages to explain what this is for people out of the loop without linking to Reddit.

In all honesty I'm not sure I understand why this was posted here, is it about just how it feels possible now? Is the size written on the website up to date?

Well, he's a lot less purist about "I do not want to use any LLMs for coding" than I am for myself personally, but

Welcome! I'm a researcher exploring malleable software: computing environments where anyone can mold their tools to their own unique needs.

sounds interesting and I'll probably poke around his site. Thanks for posting!

I am curious about thoughts from people who sift through other peoples' personal blogs. I feel a bit odd reading someone's personal blog or website if I do not know them in real life, even though they did put it out there themselves voluntarily for the public to see…

Okay that headline is hilarious and your description is too.

Might want to crosspost to !pokemon@lemm.ee

Disclaimer: have not actually read Lolita.

From what I know of it, if you just take it at face value it appears to be approving of pedophilia, because the narrator defends his pedophilia, but the perspective the author wants you to come away with is "wow, this protagonist defending his pedophilia is pretty disgusting."

I definitely don't think it should be banned, but a lot of people banned it thinking it was pro-pedophilia when that was the opposite of its point.

I am guessing you probably do not want a similar situation, where a fic taking a dump on bigotry (but not when read at purely face value, or just the narrators' thoughts) gets removed on the grounds of positively portraying it. So that is one minefield I'd be careful of.
