I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.

Will I migrate from Lemm.ee to elsewhere? I don't know yet. If I do, you'll see here. If not, never stop questioning everything!

  • For those running Hubzilla, or that have tried it, how is it?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the detailed reply! The potential complexity (depending on how much you want to do with it) is a major part of why I was asking, both in terms of use and administration.

    Despite the challenges that poses and absence of mobile apps, it still sounds great, but definitely something to go in with an idea of what you do and don't want to do with it.

  • Wouldn't it be easier for everyone to instead not add such systems? After all, don't many go for the simple logic of bigger number is better instead of doing the math?

  • Why?

  • What do you think may be the clearest means of communicating information between people, and for what reasons?

    Jump

  • I follow ya, I have trouble writing these questions to thread the needle between too broad and too narrow. Too broad and understandably, I get responses correctly calling it out as you have, yet too narrow and it doesn't produce the conversation and different responses I'm interested in seeing.

  • What do you think may be the clearest means of communicating information between people, and for what reasons?

    Jump

  • There are a lot of ways to interpret this question, it really depends on the information and the people.

    This is intentional. When I post to this AskLemmy community I try to frame my questions to fit its description:

    A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

    I fall back to more specific questions here when I can't find a relevant, active community to post to (or forget to look for one).

  • What do you think may be the clearest means of communicating information between people, and for what reasons?

    Jump

  • I was meaning any kind of information wherein clarity may be valued, so political information is a valid kind to consider for sure!

  • While I'm aware of Contact, and know it relates to people, do you really agree with that premise? Isn't the inconsistency in employed units of measure sufficient to indicate otherwise?

  • Far-right leaders are winning across the globe. Blaming ‘the economy’ or ‘the left-behinds’ won’t cut it

    Jump

  • Thanks! I'll have to give it a look.

  • They only trust what the hear and see on social media.

    Is there any data yet that backs this thinking?

  • Once Again, the Democratic Leadership Has Failed Us All

    Jump

  • Ask yourself: Why did Donald Trump win. And think about it. The answer is right before you and blazingly far more obvious than any particular action that was within Democrats or Kamala's control.

    What do you personally think the reason was?

  • If time were able to get tangled in knots, how do you imagine experiencing the knots would be like?

    Jump

  • Also, tangled knots happen in space. What kind of space can time get tangled within?

    Now that's another fun question! It also makes me wonder, how would space behave in tangly time?

    Would the space in which time gets tangled be primarily around extreme phenomena like black holes, or the very beginnings of the universe (or a universe, if one wants to get into multiverse angles)?

  • If time were able to get tangled in knots, how do you imagine experiencing the knots would be like?

    Jump

  • True! It is intentionally insufficiently defined to inspire and encourage imaginative replies!

  • If time were able to get tangled in knots, how do you imagine experiencing the knots would be like?

    Jump

  • But what if you witnessed your knot while a knot?

  • If time were able to get tangled in knots, how do you imagine experiencing the knots would be like?

    Jump

  • You don't think if time bent on itself you might be able to see events from before or after happening out of sequence around you?

  • What news sources do you follow that offer different political perspectives from your own?

    Jump

  • To clarify, by news sources I mean this in broad terms, so from wherever you may get info about what's going on around you, or the world in general.

  • How are Misskey and its forks doing?

  • Unsurprisingly, more closely related species of similar body size and microhabitat use are more likely to be engaged in misdirected amplexus with each other.

    So...They're similar enough that any arousal confusion is incidentally amplified? I guess they may not be similar enough for this behavior to be successful and produce increased genetic diversity among themselves, though? 🤨

  • What about ON? Symbiotic/commensalist relationship of letting the beetle rest around your eyes for illusion of wondrous eyelashes?

  • Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network?

    Jump

  • Appreciate the example! It's when handling a DHCP range and the related CIDR notation that I tend to get especially muddled in this area. It certainly doesn't help that each router's interface and terminology tends to vary just enough to add uncertainty.

    Regardless, the comments here and more focus on this have helped clear some of this up for me.

  • Thanks for some detail! What you describe reassures me in my decision not to get further into it, particularly as a professor path seemed one of few traditional options with what I studied.
