Yeah. Seeing them post prayer and flag emojis feels just ... weird. They look like caricatures of themselves.

And why do they call Donald "the president"? To distance themselves? Out of respect? Because that's just how you're supposed to do it?

I think we're experiencing quantum immortality.

You can achieve quantum immortality through this experiment: Play russian roulette with yourself for as many rounds as you like. In the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics a particle takes up every possible position of its wave function in parallel universes. Since you can only experience a universe in which you are alive you will experience those where the particles aligned for you to win russian roulette. Of course everyone else is more likely to experience a universe in which you are dead.

Now, with all the crises happening in the last century it is exceedingly likely that a world ending event happened. Since we cannot experience those universes where they did happen, the universe we do find ourselves in is getting more and more unlikely. More and more ridiculous.

Of course the most ridiculous event was the killing of Harambe, dooming us to the worst timeline possible.

Wieso zum Fick ist der aus dieser Goldgrube ausgestiegen?

Depends on the country. In Europe nudity is generally not seen as so sexually charged. While a fully nude person might raise some eyebrows, depending on the city they're in it might just be a curiosity.

I've definitely seen people tanning naked in public parks in Cologne and nobody cared.

Edit: I recently saw this video of a sex educator being shocked by European sex education videos. This can show Europeans how prude Americans are. Americans should look into the comments to see how normal nudity is for Europeans, especially if it's just educational.

For VR with Oculus (Quest or older?) you can use ALVR. It can be a bit fiddly but it also gets better with each release and it's been a while since I tried it out. Steam Link might also work. I couldn't try that because it only works on Quest 2 and upwards and I only have a Quest 1.

A common theme I have seen with her is reporting about a new paper about an older hypothesis. Then saying stuff like "this has been known since 2007, and still [field]-scientists are ignoring it, why?" But when you watch a scientist's video who actually is from that field they will also mention the older papers and go on to list a myriad of reasons why it hasn't been accepted yet.

And porn sites win again. Most of them which have auto translation also have an option to turn it off.

Ich hoffe dieser offene Brief kann etwas erreichen. ME ist die häufigste Ausprägung von Long Covid. War aber schon vorher Jahrzehnte lang bekannt. Trotzdem wissen noch nicht einmal die meisten Ärzte, dass es existiert oder tun es als Depression oder andere psychische Erkrankung ab.

Einfach nur mehr Bekanntheit würde mir und anderen Betroffenen viel bringen.

In my quest to tame my pict-rs instance I've disabled thumbnail proxying, deleted all thumbnails and images not uploaded by me and still the files folder is several GB big. And growing.

I am the only user of my instance. But iotop shows constant disc activity for pict-rs. It's writing stuff at about 1 MB/s. The webserver logs only show my own activity and occasionally someone requesting an image. But not nearly enough to explain this constant activity.

When I'm looking at the actual files at random it seems to be mostly memes and stuff, but not what I uploaded myself.

Does anyone have an idea how I can find out what is causing all this activity?

Edit: I've opened an issue at https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/issues/79

I'm currently migrating pictrs' database from sled to PostgreSQL and even during that it seems to be constantly writing data to sled. Doesn't feel right to me.

By default Lemmy seems to be mirroring every link's preview image. Even when that link was originally posted on an external Lemmy instance. That can put quite a strain on small servers. Is there a way to disable this? Ideally I would have pict-rs just be used to host the images my users upload and nothing else.

Solved:

Add

  pictrs: {
    image_mode: "None"
  }

to lemmy.hjson.

Does anyone know what's up with that? Couldn't find anything via Google. Seems really fishy to me.

Edit: Got the official explanation from the dev on Reddit:

AutoClick Feature of JDownloader works as following. Open the browser and wait few seconds, then take screenshot and search for the Recaptcha click area and auto click on it. Screenshot is needed so JDownloader knows where to click. You can disable this feature, see https://support.jdownloader.org/de/knowledgebase/article/jd-opens-my-browser-to-display-captchas

On Linux, JDownloader creates screenshot to find out the color of tray area so it can try to find it's tray icon and calculate the correct background color for transparency. You see the JDownloader icon having white background. You can disable this via Settings->Advanced Settings->Tray.gnometrayicontransparentenabled

Dr Becky, PBS Space Time and Angela Collier all release on the same days. Giving me one big day filled with quality astro physics. But leaving all other days devoid of good content. It would be nicer if they staggered a little.
