Has anyone used the book The Mind Illuminated by Culadasa?
  • I commented on post weeks ago regarding a user who was creating many Lemmy spam communities. Perhaps this user did this.

    Shame that Lemmy can't protect against this sort of behaviour (yet)

  • What ebook reader to buy that works with selfhosted ebook library?
  • I use a kobo- has a blue light filter, waterproof, backlight. Not sure about the selfhosted library, I throw everything into memory which is enough for thousands of books.

    Anything but amazon.

  • Has anyone used the book The Mind Illuminated by Culadasa?
  • It's annoying that you can make a comment, get downvoted but the downvoters are too cowardly to discuss their reasoning.

    I'm happy to change my mind if my reasoning is incorrect and someone elucidates me.

  • US announces $345 mil. military aid package for Taiwan
  • Fuck the CCP and putin.

  • Google engineers want to introduce DRMs for web pages, making ad-blocking near-impossible in the browser
  • You criticize but don't even have the balls to name your browser? To back up your claims?

    That is pathetic.

  • 70% of Russian Gamers Are Pirates Following Western Publisher Exodus
  • That's lower than I would have thought.

  • King Charles to receive huge pay rise from UK taxpayers
  • There should be a referendum about this.

  • Youtube added shorts to the subscriptions page, pushing the subscriptions almost entirely off the page...
  • Have you tried pockettube? it allows yyou to create categories so you can bunch your channels together. It's pretty cool.

  • Studio Ghibli's Final Miyazaki Film Opens Huge Despite Zero Marketing
  • Compare that to the latest crappy indiana jones movie.

  • Christopher Nolan Warns of ‘Terrifying Possibilities’ as AI Reaches ‘Oppenheimer Moment’: ‘We Have to Hold People Accountable’
  • Though he likely knows more about AI in the film industry than you, I and the average schmuck.

  • 'Simply Medieval': Russian Soldiers Held In Pits And Cellars For Refusing To Fight In Ukraine
  • Serf mentality? Living in police state?

    They would be treated better as POW's in any civilized country.

  • Musk says a 50% drop in ad revenue for Twitter is causing negative cash flow
  • Is he forced to disclose this, as this will confirm reports that Twitter is dying, which may hasten people leaving, and companies lsaving.

  • "Tracking Lemmy users by spy/tracker pixels"

    Ignoring the users' aggressiveness against Lemmy, is what they say true?if so, I hope this can be patched.

    Europe and US heat matches climatologists’ worst predictions
  • Oh boy we're really fucked., And they're isn't enough time for technology to be the answer, of it they could be.

  • Spotify privacy concerns
  • Btw why doesn't Spotify have a feature for an ai to create genre playlists (or any mood playlists you want) from your liked songs? If you have thousands of songs it's impractical to trawl through them creating playlists

  • What are you using for photo storage and organization?
  • Is this ONLY for mobile, as in you share the files on your mobile?

    To the admins- will lemmy.world block Facebook's Threads or are you open to federating with them in the future?

    https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

    Many of us do not trust Facebook and anything it is associated with or swallows up.

    EDIT:

    https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/05/adam-mosseri-says-metas-threads-app-wont-have-activitypub-support-at-launch/

    "Instagram head Adam Mosseri said "

    ““Soon, you’ll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, such as Mastodon. They can also find people on Threads using full usernames, such as @mosseri@threads.net.””

    “We’re committed to building support for ActivityPub, the protocol behind Mastodon, into this app. We weren’t able to finish it for launch given a number of complications that come along with a decentralized network, but it’s coming,” he said.

    “If you’re wondering why this matters, here’s a reason: you may one day end up leaving Threads, or, hopefully not, end up de-platformed. If that ever happens, you should be able to take your audience with you to another server. Being open can enable that.”

    Recently bought a 13 pro max for the cameras and IS - is there anyway to tone down the excessive digital sharpening?

    Using the great camera/video program Cinema P3 (filmic pro is now subscription based), though the videop from any app are so, so sharpened.

    Thanks

    Does anyone use the CInema P3 app? Can you give information on the cinema and cinema2 image stabilisation options?

    Recently found this app, and was intrigued to find it's extra 2 image stabilisation options beyond the pretty good apple IS - "cinema" and "cinema2".

    The IS is very smooth, though there's quite a delay when using it, and there's no documentaion abou them that I could find.

    Can you us them in normal day to day recording, or do you find the delay is too much?

    A prompt to create a language tutor using the Speak plugin

    " using the plugin you are my personal <language> tutor, and you are an expert in the <language> language and you are a <language> native and an expert teacher of <language> . Ask me questions in <language>, and allow me to answer, and after I answer, correct my answer, and the grammar, and then give me alternate ways to say the same thing in better <language> and new vocabulary, so I am constantly learning, and then ask me another question and so on. Please always give translations of every sentence you write in <language>, including the corrections of my responses, and alternatives to my responses that you give in <language>, no need to explain spelling or accent mistakes. explain in another paragraph each grammatical mistake so that I can learn them better, but then giving the alternative ways to express the same idea, translate each alternative sentence, "

    --> It asks you a question in <language> --> You answer --> It corrects your response, gives you 3 alternative responses (that are more natural in that language, from more formal to slang), then it explains the grammar mistakes and gives an example conversation using your answer.

    For my uses it works really well.
