Promised Neverland Season 2 bad ending (lemmy.world)

Just finished Promised Neverland Season 2 recently and I thought the season and especially the ending was very weak. Is it worth reading the manga or should I just move along?

Feature request: Swipe from left in communities (lemmy.world)

When opening the app and seeing the home screen, its possible to swipe from the left border to the right to see your subscriptions.

Then when clicking on a post or opening a community, one has to first go back to the home screen to swipe again.

I would like to use swipe from left regardless where I am. That way one can quickly switch communities without always having to go back to the home screen.

What do you think?

If the body's natural temperature is about 98 degrees (F), why does it still feel really hot when the ambient temperature is 98F? by NewBrainWhoThis in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[-] NewBrainWhoThis@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

Your body produces heat.
Generation and removal of heat must be balanced to keep the body temperature equal.
Heat transfer is enabed by conduction, convection and radiation.
If the body temperature equals outside temperature, convection and radiative cooling is reduced
your body temperature rises till equilibrium is achieved

Gamers nexus on LTT by NewBrainWhoThis in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] NewBrainWhoThis@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

All valid points. But regarding the measurements, neither LTT or GN testing methodology are realy scientific. Those are youtubers with limited understanding of experimental design and analysis. I have never seen them do simple significance tests or try to explain the variability in the data. But I havent watched all the videos so 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit. by NewBrainWhoThis in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

My feeling exactly. Smaller communities nurture much more healthier engagement than bigger ones

Apple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon. by NewBrainWhoThis in c/technology@lemmy.world

What about other tech companies like Microsoft or Google? Do they comply?

Lemmy and GDPR - What is the current state? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by NewBrainWhoThis@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

As the Fediverse grows more and more, rules and regulations become more important. For example, is Lemmy GDPR compliant? If not, are admins aware of the possible consequence? What does this mean for the growth of Lemmy?

Edit: The question "is Lemmy GDPR compliant" should mean, does the software stack provide admins with means to be GDPR compliant.

YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private by NewBrainWhoThis in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

[-] NewBrainWhoThis@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

What does this mean for admins regarding GDPR? Is lemmy still not GDPR complient? Are there options in place if users request their data?

An issue has already been raised: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1347

YSK: Subscriber count on communities only show the numbers of users subscribed from your specific instance. The real number might be much larger than you think. by NewBrainWhoThis in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

[-] NewBrainWhoThis@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

Are there plans to display the actual numer or is it just not possible becaus of the underlying protocol?

YSK: While you're on Lemmy/Kbin/Fediverse, you're not "the product" but you're also not "the customer". by NewBrainWhoThis in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

[-] NewBrainWhoThis@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago

Lets see what the future brings. As long as the user count is low there isn't much of a problem, but if instances suddenly have millions of users, it will get expensive for admins to run the service. If too few people donate (what is usually the case), admins are forced to search for other ways to finance the infrastructure. The other point is AI, wheter you like it or not, if Lemmy is big enough, the content (conversations etc.) will be used to train LLMs. Also, the content will certainly be interesting for advertisers to learn user preferences. The difficulty comes with scale.
