Hot take but you’re right and you should say it. Being ‘anti-war’ is what has led to people to say that Ukraine should just give up and the US shouldn’t be aiding them in protecting themselves. Sometimes war is justified, though it should be minimized as much as possible

I just learned about kagi. It’s subscription-based but seems really nice

You’ve gone back too far! I meant mid to late aughts (2005-2010)

It’s because a lot of people here are people who miss the earlier days of the internet and are trying to recreate that feeling. I’m not that old but it’s got me feeling nostalgic so I enjoy it

I agree with you but I’m just gonna say with basic regex (hell, even without regex) you can easily find bad words without the problem you mentioned above.

Word filters tend to suck in online games and stuff because they have to navigate players trying to avoid the filter, which I think could still be improved with a little effort

Maybe it’s a hot take but if you are giving life-altering treatments, and your company goes under, you should open-source everything

I love it solely for the LWA reference

LETS FUCKING GOOOO

I was literally just thinking about this and I think you’re right

This is something I have worried about for a while. The core concept of the fediverse makes stuff like this really easy to do and there’s not really a solution. I guess government agencies just need to be on the lookout for it?

This was a good read and it’s something I’ve wondered about. The fediverse is sorta built on this promise that everyone will be able to interact across any implementation of ActivityPub.

But that’s not really true. The different types of social media have wildly different implementations, where we have to rely on developers communicating and cooperating with other implementations for everything to work even a little bit

That’s not true. There are a few other free TLDs. I think five total?

It’s not jumping to conclusions; it’s actually pretty well-known. The devs and their instance are very open about being Marxist-Leninists.

I don’t see how machine learning is related to Lemmy in any way

Thats not a rebuttal. The .ml instance is run by Marxist-Leninists

Thanks, I know what it stands for but I am trying to explain why that particular top-level domain was picked for those lemmy instances

I think it’s because ML is a popular shorthand for ‘Marxist-Leninist’ since they mostly seem to be communist servers

I cannot express how much I do not want this

oh fuck ya

If you want advice on getting better:

I’d start by paying close attention to the number of vertices/faces you are using. You have way more than you need for a basic topology and the number of edges is not even remotely similar between the two objects which is troublesome. They don’t have to be exactly the same but you want a ratio that makes connecting them nicer

When you have less vertices, you will find it easier to just manually connect the two objects by creating faces (pick the edges you want to connect and press F)

This really gives you a greater control over your work and will be really beneficial in the long run. Hope this helps!
