  • may I ask what typst is then?

  • How do you write a lengthy, informative comment/post?
  • Most people have already written the most things, being passionate and explaining well, but for me it is - I do not interact much, if I dont have anything new to add, I usually don't, If I got interested enough to comment, then I must have something to speak on it, and if no one else has (I first search for other comments, If I find same stuff, I just upvote their comment and move on) then I am past a threshold where I can write something long.

  • Is anyone here not from reddit?
  • Maybe I dont count, but I was a reddit mild lurker, I would check something like r/memes every week, and also r/linux with similar frequency, and learnt about lemmy close to reddit API stuff, and made a lemmy account sometime after

  • How do adults find happiness in life?
  • sleep

    (and occasional life achievements or events, like yesterday)

  • Lemmy should have a community called lemmy_guess
  • I agree, those are just 2 examples of people doing fact finding, idea is someone will post something, and other lemmings will do what people in the video did

  • if you looking for a good alternative for google search, try "SearXNG"
  • I completely agree with you, and what i wrote was in haste, essentially, what i wanted to say, was that an individual running searxng does not provide the anonymity benefits you would get by using some public instance, but it it still better because you are not directly using google or whatever website, and now searxng kinda acts like a browser between you and them, which does limited conversation - there aren't any js based fingerprinting. I also use searxng locally, i cant stand the constant rate limiting of public servers, or sometimes only a few engines are blocked, and variation in result quality is unacceptable to me. I just wanted to add that bit for transparency,

  • if you looking for a good alternative for google search, try "SearXNG"
  • If you are on a desktop, you can run it locally, you are much less likely to be rate limited, but this comes at cost of your ip being still visible to google or whatever search engine you choose to scrape from

  • A community to find or validate facts. You can also share other works of similar fact finding
    lemmy.world Lemmy Find Facts - Lemmy.World

    You can - share a fact or question, maybe a random number or statistic, or some statement, that you can not find sources for (maybe you want to cite it in a research article, or for a very important debate with someone online), and other lemmings will verify - post a question that you can not answer...

    Original idea for this community came from @kibiz0r@midwest.social who in comments of this post gave ideas for many new communities.

    This community also serves as a "Do the Maths" community or "<Insert specialist> explainer"

    Currently the community is very small so the fact finding may be slow, perhaps as it grows it can be fast fact finding ninja

    Lemmy should have a community called lemmy_guess
  • can i make these, since technically these are your ideas, i am definitely interested in lemmy_check. I believe lemmy_know is very close to c/ask

  • What is your favorite color and why
  • used to be blue (royal blue then sky blue) and now black (i am not a edgy teen, an adult) but still like sky blue

  • This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?
  • Maybe I am broken by all the physics thought experiments, but my image was very bare-bones

    spoiler

    I imagined a small ball (roughly of size of my fist) but only an outline, no features, I did not imagine practically anything about person - just a force (imagined impulse was parallel to table plane) - I did imagine ball rolling (considered forward rolling, as opposed to impulse on center of mass (which in a frictionless situation would make it just linearly translate, or backspin) and falling from the table after a few seconds

  • What else is there
  • life when space is Ω and boundary is dΩ (or S, ds) or all space is abstraction of a hilbert space of dimension n

  • Youtube has fully blocked Invidious
  • For those who are want something similar to invidious, you can try youtube-local (not my project, I am just a user). It is a minimal python youtube client, and functions similar to other frontends, but runs locally. You lose some amount of privacy (youtube still has a general idea of who is watching with IPs), but it is not very exact, and there is an option to use tor to get the content. You can also enable sponsorblock, or hide yt-shorts.

  • if this post gets 243 upvotes i will post again with 3 times as many triangles
  • well I never said that it would hit those targets, at this point I must say, I am more of applied physicist kind, so I mostly look at application rather than correctness. Plus my point was kinda applicable, the growth rate is decreasing (hit 243 in 9 hours, and then only git 70 more in next few hours, although that may also be because when the target is met, people start losing interest, but 81 is an exception) and hence the death.

    Also, I did not really understand the bench reference, Is it a compliment? as in you consider me a worthy person you would happen to pass by on that bench, or is it me sticking with my idea

  • if this post gets 243 upvotes i will post again with 3 times as many triangles
  • well I should eat my words, it completed in less than 9 hours

  • if this post gets 243 upvotes i will post again with 3 times as many triangles
  • i never questioned it hitting, I was making some educated guesses about when can we expect that, previous post (81) got about 240 votes in 20ish hours, so i was expecting 243 to also take about same time. But there are some more things, people lose interest, all things have somewhat bell shaped curve, more like weighted bell shape, something like (polynomial)*(exponential with negative power), so most things eventually decay.

    And the stats that I see in the sidebar

    691 users / day
    1.82K users / week
    1.82K users / month
    2.98K users / 6 months
    1.16K subscribers

    from this I was making guesses, like 243 onwards, targets would not be met in a day, and for next tripling we get more into 3-4 day territory (assuming 691 users has about 200 new users), and by next cycle, we are limited (practically) by subscribers in this lemmy instance (1.16k is about half 2.2k) if we have 2 more cycles, we are practically limited by number of mathematically inclined people on lemmy, then we see it practically die

    A sad ending

  • if this post gets 243 upvotes i will post again with 3 times as many triangles
  • This is the point where we start hitting the daily limits, in 2 more cycles, maybe limits of lemmy instance, and in another 2, limits of lemmy

  • To people who choose not to swear (for non-religious reasons), what is your motivation to be that way ?
  • I do not publicly swear, I live in a place where practically everyone does, I am young, all my friends do, but I don't, mostly, because I like to be soft-spoken. I have publicly swore maybe less than 5 times (even these are when I am very angry, someone swore, and I just repeat how can you say ***). Plus this elevates even the impact of me saying something like "stupid person" (in my native language) as if I swore. I do swore in my mind, mostly from having it as a part of my vocabulary (I do know how to swear (pretty good) in 3 languages, and a bit in 3 more), but I maintain good filters, and just helps me do natural conversations, so I dont have to think of my statements when I say it in front of my friends, or elderly

  • Launcher for Everything*

    This is an article I wrote. Sorry mods if it is not allowed I checked the sidebar rules, and closest was no ads, and I do not know if this qualifies for that (I do not have ads or analytics on the page)

    Edit - Thanks to @utopiah@lemmy.ml for recommendations. I have now Included an image and a video demo of using the script, and also got syntax highlighting

    https://sga.codeberg.page/articles/Launcher/Launcher_for_Everything.html

    Edit 2 - I have chnaged my keys for password, so dont worry about that, and about low quality and stuttering video playback, that was just network being poor at that time, also i forgot to give a demo of calculator and web searching, forgive me for that, and if you want, instead of term-dmenu, you can use fzf directly, and you would not leave terminal
