  Assuming there’s no one else in that part of the universe looking at it from closer up, you could probably play around with fudging some super-duper low-resolution (compared to being there) LoDs on that part of the sky to make it look and behave good enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry. As a little experiment, I’ve found time and time again across a whole range of social media sites over years, that having a username that some people could perceive as aggressive will get you blocked / banned faster than you would believe. The people of Lemmy are not as different/open as they think they are!

  You get banned for having the username “catty”? Seriously?

  Unfortunately, when I open groups, I get called out that it should be merged with a sort-of-similar group, and then of course, empty groups are hard to start.

  I mean is that a bad thing that groups get merged? Lemmy ain’t reddit, and if you wanna follow niche (or even not-so-niche) hobbies here, it’s usually better to have one group with 10 people in it rather than 5 groups with 2 people in it. If you wanna hang around in your 2-person group, no one’s gonna ban you for doing so.

  Having to take the effort to block all the politics in the first place mean 90% of people won’t do it and will get tied up with giving their asshole to each post rather than perhaps what they wanted to come here for in the first place. I believe that doesn’t create an overall diverse community.

  If you joined an instance where 90% of the default communities offend you, maybe you should consider joining another instance?

  Sentiment analysis is an old and established form of ai that would be useful here.

  You’d use sentiment analysis how, exactly?

  Yeah, sorry, I was being a bit catty with that reply. But algorithmically identifying something as “whinging circle jerk” is really difficult unless you wanna throw away the baby with the bathwater. I think someone elsewhere in the thread recommended creating a second account just for the hobby communities, if you wanna avoid the political memery. If the hobby communities feel quiet, well, you have the power to change that by posting something there.

  Since according to you this is an easy coding issue that no one’s bothered to implement, how would you from a technical standpoint implement those improvements?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit sorry, the CIA told me not to point outI forgot that all content already automatically carries the political flag if it contradicts OP’s political biases, and thus all we need to do is check for that and censor accordingly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not that I entirely disagree, but…

  This could be easily fixed in the coding of Lemmy, but… it hasn’t.

  I’m not sure how this could be fixed on the software level? Care to elaborate? Or even better, write up an issue + PR which proposes the “easy fix”.

  In a university there was a lab. And in this lab there lived a postdoc. One day in the third month of their the postdoc heard a rap on their door. It was the professor! They said the postdoc would soon be approached by 12 undergrads, and…

  <300 pages of worldbuilding later>

  “You must take the samples! And throw them into the synchrotron! I am too old and burnt out to do it!” pleaded the old postdoc to the phd student.

  <500 pages of more worldbuilding>

  “I did the testing, but the results are not meant for me. I must now travel to the West, into the Private Sector.” said the PhD at their graduation party.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way out?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe if the academic world behaved like that, I wouldn’t have burned out and fucked off to the IT sector a decade ago.

  Kind of adjacent to this, years ago around said burnout I kept floating this idea around my head where I was thinking if there was some way out of this tradition of creating these giant monolithic papers every time -even if your effective research result could be distilled down to a paragraph with some numbers and preliminary handwaving- where you need to pad the whole thing out with a big-ass literature review to keep the citation circlejerk going.

  So why not just have “papers” consist of effectively a few paragraphs? The citation tree of how you got there is still relevant, but you can put all of that stuff in what’s effectively metadata and not clutter up the whole thing with it.

  Have an idea for a lab experiment? Publish the methodology as-is, and link it to whatever other tidbits of knowledge make it relevant. Did the experiment and got results? Publish the data, and link to the experiment. Got some new theory out of the results? Publish the theory and link to the experiment in the metadata. And so on.

  Maybe this would have weird side effects of its own, but I can’t help but imagine this would make the whole process so much less painful, and allow also for better organizing of the knowledge produced.
