Europe@feddit.org•One of Ukraine's largest drone attacks kills 3, Russia saysEnglish
11·18 hours agoThe Ukrainians are not “joking about” when it comes to the war, as it’s an invasion of their homeland by a much larger nation with immense casualties. I’m not Ukrainian, but I had a friend who was, and I would like to ask you to please stop treating this conflict as a silly game and telling them to “stop coping”.
It is rude and disrespectful to all who died in the war.

2·1 day agoI don’t think this is a topic where joking around is appreciated. Thousands of people have died on both sides of the war.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What somebody with cosmetic plastic surgery gets injured, does stuff "spill out" or get seen?English
2·2 days agoAnd it is not always cosmetic either
Which is why I specified cosmetic surgery.
The word plastic in this case does not mean that actual plastic was inserted or injected.
And that is new to me! That makes more sense, plastic surgery being named after plasticity since it’s changing the shape of something and having it stay like that. Plasticity is the converse of elasticity (the latter describing a material that goes back to its original shape when deformed). I have added an edit to the post now.

3·2 days agoOk that’s pretty cool :0
One more thing, if there is a drastic colour change (i.e. between darks and lights) then there needs to be additional stuff for the prime tower (which is why in many multi-colour prints, the prime tower has “infill” rather than being hollow)
If it was using many small bits of poop, the printer is more like “poop clean - pause - poop clean - pause - poop clean - wait a bit more - now I print” since if the poop gets too big it could damage the nozzle/clog it.
If instead it was a prime tower, the printer is like “whirr prime towerrr >> actual print immediately after”
Oops, I think I misremembered. I fixed the comment now. I typed it when I was very tired.
Now that I see your actual question, the main reason it’s a tower and not “poop” is because simply creating poop would mean the little wiper that pushes out excess filament to the poop chute needs to be used, increasing the time as there is a brief pause.
If it was poop, the printer is like “poop poop clean - wait a bit - now I print” between each layer
If it was a prime tower, the printer is like “tower tower >> actual print immediately after” between each layer

6·2 days agoI think I understand now, dang, this is a pretty deep topic. Did not know that different parts of the body usually use different materials, but that makes sense I think

3·2 days agoOh, so they’re way down below the muscle mass? Did not know that.
And yikes, salt water leaking out into your inner bits sounds bad. (but presumably if you were to have such a large injury you would probably also be bleeding and such)edit: Oh wait, the salt water is low concentration. It’s not like seawater, ok, that makes much more sense.
In a nutshell,
the prime tower lets the printer print a basic shape, and if it doesn’t look right, either you or the printer (depending on the model) can stop the print. It alsoit ensures that filament is flowing right between each layer change.edit: Fixed. The first point seems to be incorrect, but the second one is okay

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can travel anywhere in late June, not sure where. Anecdotes/advice?English
1·3 days agoAnd Central America is part of North America! The North and South Americas is split by the Panama canal (which is located in Panama. Central America is usually defined as the bits below Mexico and above Colombia (but it occasionally includes parts or all of Mexico too, depending on who you ask). Belize is right next to Guatemala and below Mexico, so it’s considered part of Central America!
Even more confusing, “Latin America” is pretty much any country in the Americas that speak either Spanish, Portuguese or another Romance language, excluding of course the English speaking nations of the US, Canada, Guyana, and Belize (as well as a few Carribean islands), as well as the Dutch speaking Suriname. It does include French Guiana (since French is a Romance language). Hispanic America is all the Spanish speaking nations in the American continent(s)

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Which instances on Lemmy do not apply censorship?English
51·3 days agoAnother thing to add, FelixCress is a moderator of the community “OPisafuckingidiot”, along with a user called “MeatEater” (hmm I wonder what their shared belief is)
And it seems like they are the main user of that community, with a majority of posts posted by them. The community is intended to mock certain Lemmy comments, mainly replies to their own posts that they disagree with. Mocking people is generally seen as not very nice :(

1·3 days agoLooking a bit into this Pablo Stanley guy, he seems to be a vibecoder, and is a dev at “efecto” (an “AI-native tool” that is designed to that lets you “tell an agent what to design”, and without the buzzwords, basically LLM website design). Stanley is also a huge “AI creator” in a platform called Lummi, which advertises itself as a site for these “AI creators” to share AI-gen stock images. He has over 15 thousand images with 3.6 million views, which seems to be a lot (unsure if this is normal though, given that these are all AI generated. I don’t explore these kinds of platforms so I have no idea. They are big numbers though)
Plenty of his comics, articles, and posts are all about “agents”, “context engineering”, those sort. The comics seem to be human drawn though (there’s no explicit mention of image generation for making the comics, but I can’t find anything that makes it clear it’s not though), and in one article, he mentions how the use of AI is like a “slot machine” (addicting but harmful). This is then followed by him stating that, even still, he “loves to create with AI”.
Take it for what you will. Some sources I looked at:
https://medium.com/@pablostanley
I found the relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1361/

The DNS server is, in a nutshell, the middleman between your computer and the web server you want to access. It lets you use URLs (easy to remember words) to access web servers, which have IP addesses (usually difficult to remember). The browser sends the URL (which includes the protocol, usually HTTPS, as well as the domain name and other bits) and the DNS server checks it against a list of IP addresses.
If they find a match, the request is sent to the correct web server and a connection between the browser and the server is established. When no match is found, other DNS servers are contacted to see if they have the entry. If there is still no results, you get an error telling you the URL does not exist.
As others have mentioned, it’s a bit like a phone book where you look for somebody’s name (the URL) to find the phone number that you can use to communicate with them (the phone number). But I think it more resembles calling a friend (the DNS server) for the phone number of the person you want to contact (the web server), and the friend can either tell you what it is, if they know this person, or call other friends to see if they know their phone number.
The most common DNS service is Google’s, so if you’re not using Cloudflare, NextDNS, or similar, Google is the middleman yet again! You might have seen that xkcd on the “8.8.8.8” DNS service, where all other products are hypothetically killed to focus on their Google DNS.
Phosh is a neat UI for Linux phones. It’s like GNOME or KDE Plasma on Linux desktops, where it’s not the whole OS, just the user-facing bit. You’re able to use Phosh if you run postmarketOS, Mobian, etc. kind of like how Plasma runs on Debian, Fedora, Arch, etc.

Linux@programming.dev•Plasma Big Screen Working Out Quite Well With Plasma 6.7 BetaEnglish
1·4 days agoAccording to their website, KDE Neon ships with a beta version. It also looks like it will be part of the Plasma 6.7 release next month ish






Zelensky said that in the context of how the Ukrainians are keeping their spirits up in spite of Russian aggression. He did not say that people can joke about the war or the casualties on either side.
Those affected by the war have lost their family and friends, it is not in your right to make these comments.
