Thanks for the suggestion! I knew it but my country isn’t in it :'( I could get involved to add it though…

I didn’t see the FAQ, thanks!

It’s apparently early in development, but there’s an ActivityPub implementation of wikis made by one of Lemmy’s dev.

That’s exactly how it works right now with VDI. I’m using one at work.

I’ve not used it yet, but I plan to try photoprism at some point.

E: ah, just saw your edit about self host, sorry.

Oh yeah, I did try it a year or so ago. I’m giving it another try but it still doesn’t work. I’ll try to get involved, thanks for the suggestion.

Honestly, I haven’t found anything that can replace Google Maps for route planning with public transportation. I really wish for crowdsourced timetables hosted on OSM…

I think the idea of a megathread is to give the opportunity to avoid a topic that is flooding the community to people not interested.

Bedankt!

Quantum entanglement is closely related with another quantum phenomenon that you might already know: the superposition principle. Let’s say that I have a particle. My particle spins on itself. If I measure its spin, it can either spin to the left or to the right. I cannot know in advance whether it will spin to the left or to the right. And it’s not just a lack of information because we can create an experiment in which the different spins of a single particle can interfere. We say that the particle’s spin in a superposed state of both left and right, until we measure it.

Now there’s already a good thought experiment that explains quantum entanglement: Schrödinger’s cat. I have trapped a cat in a box, and I have installed a cruel setup inside. There’s a detector in which I can enter my particle. If it spins to the right, the detector breaks a bottle of poison that kills the cat. If it spins to the left, nothing happens. Importantly, the detector does not communicate the measurement to me.

Now, I insert my superposed particle inside the detector and don’t look at the result. The particle exits the detector and I can keep it. Because my particle was in a superposed state, I don’t know wether the detector has measured a right or left spin. I don’t know whether the cat is dead. Once again, it’s not just a lack of knowledge because I could imagine an experiment in which its dead and alive state interfere.

Now imagine that I make a measurement of the particle’s spin and it measures right. Then, I am 100% certain that the cat will be dead once I open the box. Even though both the particle and the cat were still in superposition, once I measure one, I will know the state of the other. That’s quantum entanglement.

It’s important because we can use this interaction between quantum objects to copy and paste information in a quantum computer without making a measurement. A measurement would damage the quantum information because it would collapse the superposed state.

The dev seems to be working on an app for Tildes.

Yes, good point. It’s more like: we as a society must decide what is and isn’t acceptable as far as free speech goes and enshrine this in law. Then it is a matter of applying the laws rather than judging case by case as individuals.

In this case, The political discourse of the devs doesn’t seem directly related to Lemmy’s development. Of course, libre software is very much in line with leftist ideology; what I mean is that they do not seem to impose their views or skew ours through their work as devs. They don’t even use their position as devs to publicize their discourse; people had to dig to find them.

If their political discourse is harmful, I’d argue that it is not to us, as individuals, to condemn them and to choose an adequate punishment, e.g. boycott the seemingly unrelated Lemmy project.

Of course, it is obviously to us, as individuals, to decide if we want to participate on Lemmy, or even donate to the devs for their work on Lemmy. I choose to do both even when I don’t agree with the devs and when I think their discourse about human right in the CCP and Russia might be harmful.

It seems to have become a habit that most good things about the internet is linked to the EU. I’m really grateful. That being said, I hope that Lemmy can become a collaborative project uniting a lot of devs rather than rely on two people.

About the scandal; as long as their opinions do not influence the platform I don’t see them as relevant to Lemmy. If they are illegal, let justice do its work.

Link for the lazy.

I tried the fediverse with Mastodon to replace Twitter, but it didn’t work out. On Twitter, I was exclusively following accounts of personalities/organizations. As these accounts did not make the switch from Twitter to Mastodon, there was little use.

I feel like the fediverse works way better with content aggregation. I don’t really care who specifically is on Lemmy, as long as there is content and discussion. So far it’s been really nice.

There’s no debate that it’s simpler to create an account on a centralized website.

In my understanding, your comments have to be stored on a server whatever the centralization. The fact that you can choose on which server they are stored is the decentralization.
