i'm not sure about asuna. i've played mineclonia before which has exact same mechanics as minecraft. to get obsidian, you need to pour water on lava (and not the other way around, i.e. not pour lava on water). the lava has to be a lava source block, so flowing lava does not work. easiest thing to do is to just find an underground cave with lots of lava in it, and then use 1 bucket of water and pour it over it all. easily get 20 obsidian at once. you need a diamond pickaxe to mine it though, otherwise you don't get any drops.
uhh, i don't go out and riot because i don't have the emotional energy to do that. i play computer games because that's free (in case of luanti, mindustry etc) and i can actually feel good while doing it.
i would go out more if it was easier to meet people in non-profit places, i.e. places where you don't have to spend money just to exist.
i still wouldn't riot though because harm has never helped anything, it just makes things worse. we need constructive criticism instead.
oh very interesting. i've been wanting to get into the details of how federation actually works, and i wanted to figure out why mastodon<->lemmy federation does often not seem to work. but i guess that's a deep rabbit hole too!
there’s no automated way to stop LLMs except trying to stop all bots (assuming they all are using the API, and the LLMs don’t communicate any self identifying metadata).
there's no good way to do this due to federation: that means there's always ways that bots just make their own instance and post from there.
i have also written here about how mastodon is more user-centric (because you follow users) while lemmy is more topic-centered (because you follow topic-oriented communities).
now i conjecture that maybe mastodon is more closely appropriate for location-specific content? because you can have one mastodon instance per city, to see all the stuff there (all contributing users) in a wild, mixed feed. and as is usual in a city, you might have specific people that you know well that you would like to hear more stuff from. meanwhile on lemmy, emphasizing individual users is a bit more difficult and less easy to do.
so i'm wondering whether there's a correlation between user-centricism and location-centricism, versus topic-centricism.
this might be an abstract thought but idk whether you can understand it?
uh i get what you mean, but that has mostly to do with the users here, and not technically with the software itself. although the (well-written) lemmy software surely encourages nice users to come here :)
at some point we will give a name of this phenomenon of internet users who are completely undecipherable for normal people ... and call it autism (/hj)
uhh, the bots are requesting multiple sites in parallel, not in series, so it's difficult to say "hey look, that user moves through 5 pages per second". instead, you'd say "hey look, there's 5 users each crawling through 1 page per second".
today i learned - for stuff that you learned todayshowerthoughts - for stuff that you spontaneously thought of (non-political)uhm ... all the transfem communities?
oh and what makes them special: you can learn new things easily :p so it's like "microdosing knowledge"
i've become convinced that it's mostly about the birthrate. people want their kids to have many kids again, but that's less likely if the kids are gay.
i've long suspected that the real reason why we can't have a casual sleepover at our neighbor's is because it would weaken parent's total control and ability to pressure their children to adhere to stupid commands.
look i know that this gets a lot of hate but the current trajectory of "you need to prove your worth to the world to have a legitimate reason to exist" is just not sustainable. fuck all that "we support that artist", we should be supporting the person, whether they output art or not.
the current rage against AI is 90% driven by the idea that humans need to produce output sothat we can donate to them and give them money sothat they can live. and frankly, that's a dystopian idea in my eyes.
