So it is about languages instead of “where you live”. Can’t Harvard researchers get the title right?
Or are they assuming that languages are only associated with where people live?
I used to live in a city where 8 months of the year is around 30 degrees. No car. I would have multiple shopping trips instead of hauling big ones.
Ideogram has a magic prompt feature that turns concise prompts into elaborate ones. In this case I actually entered a short prompt in Ideogram but I didn’t like the output. Then I copied the magic prompt into Copilot and got what I wanted.
Once in a while I get motivated to feel "enough is enough", and decide to work on important stuff.
Lately this hasn't happened. It's like a lack the energy to do anything useful.
I thought it was common knowledge by now.

Completely ignore. If you respond in anyway, they achieve their purpose of being annoying.
My Neighbour Totoro is unique. In this film kids actually act and talk like kids. It is extremely imaginative and magical while not trying to be epic. It treats the audience as intelligent, curious people, giving a lot of quiet thinking space in between scenes.
It is a masterpiece of film making. The other Studio Ghibili films are good, but Totoro remains to be my favourite.

The aim of a streamlined user interface is appreciated, but the current trend towards extreme minimalism can be counterproductive. It often leads to a cumbersome experience where accessing common features or information requires unnecessary navigation.
Take, for instance, the display of the author's name and instance. Certain Lemmy applications deem the instance trivial and choose to hide it, while others omit the author's details from the main feed entirely, necessitating extra steps to uncover them.
Another example is the ability to view upvotes and downvotes as distinct figures. While some may only want the aggregate score, the absence of this feature overlooks the preferences of users who value this detail.
Implementing optional features like displaying author names, instances, or separate up/downvote counts gives users more control over their app experience. This way, those who prefer a clean interface can keep it that way, while those who value specific details can have them readily available.
