would be kinda amusing if we had similar ceremonies here on Lemmy.

What makes a social network “work”?

Typically, we say that a social networking service works when it achieves some of these:

• Community – gives users the ability to create communities they can feel a sense of belonging to.
• Freedom of expression – expands people's ability to speak their mind in a .. umm... meaningful way ? (looking at 4chan's /pol/).
• Rich expression – actually offers tools to express yourself (presence of features like markup, formatting, embeds).
• Constructive culture – becomes an environment where people learn and participate in constructive and fun activities — like university clubs. (Sorry for the example, but Reddit’s r/anime comes to mind.)
• Privacy & safety – respects users’ privacy and safety.
• Developer support – provides good developer tools.
  • Example: In Numbers: The Best Anime of the Decade from MyAnimeList — a huge data-driven article made possible by open tools and APIs. (also a huge web page, might take forever to load all figures)

Feel free to add more points, or challenge the ones I’ve listed.

It seems like a general consensus here on Lemmy that — no matter how many times you try — Reddit will always slip from Aaron Swartz to u/spez.
Why do you think that is?

Disclaimer: I wrote the post by myself, but used AI to refine my bad English and markdown,

They don't have a social media service, right? So where do they get the data to train their AI models ? Surely they need a lot, right? It would be nice if the public knew who cooperates with them (other than governments) and just boycott their services, or at least pressure them.

If company X doesn't offer your data to governments officials, but offers them to Palantir which makes a profile of you that it offer to the same officials, isn't that even worse ?

Didn't know him before tbh, but I don't think that I've missed much.

My question aims to know what kind of procedures did the Chinese government (allegedly) take since 2014 in Xinjiang, and why to begin with. And what can we know about the region in the current time, like can a random tourist go and see with their own eyes the truth, and maybe film it ?

There are Youtube videos and a Wikipedia page "documenting" human rights infringements, while China and the Marxist forums deny anything harmful. Now that almost nobody is bringing it up, I want to know what was legitimately documented. Investigating the origins and later developments of the case on my own would be so hard.

I think 3D geometry has a lot of quirks and has so many results that un_intuitively don't hold up. In the link I share a discussion with ChatGPT where I asked the following:

assume a plane defined by a point A=(x_0,y_0,z_0), and normal vector n=(a,b,c) which doesn't matter here, suppose a point P=(x,y,z) also sitting on the space R^3. Question is:
If H is a point on the plane such that (AH) is perpendicular to (PH), does it follow immediately that H is the projection of P on the plane ?

I suspected the answer is no before asking, but GPT gives the wrong answer "yes", then corrects it afterwards.

So Don't we need more education about the 3D space in highschools really? It shouldn't be that hard to recall such simple properties on the fly, even for the best knowledge retrieving tool at the moment.

The comments on the linked Youtube video suggest so, but I remember ChatGPT telling me that NASA doesn't share their optimized Fortran compiler.

Here sucks is in the sense of suckless philosophy, I don't think everybody likes the suckless movement but I've seen that many people, me included, don't like how modern web apps look like (messenger and tiktok are like the worst). So if I want to make interactive web apps, what are the better technologies to not make the web shittier ?

I can't see it happening tbh, but like the USA government discussed putting restriction on AI development, I think OpenAI or some other companies asked them to do so!? And there were short/reels of high profile developers hyping out the fact that "we don't know what we're doing", and one of them quit his job. So why is all that hype? Is the "Matrix" route actually a possible future ?

pure liberal cringe. And propaganda. When I tried to post the propaganda that I believe my post was deleted. Also a lot U.S.A drama of politics, like any of that matters. How do I make lemmy.world disappear from my feed in dbzer0 ?

disclaimer: I'm just asking to get understanding of the theory behind network traffic encryption, I know this doesn't happen irl most likely.

Let's take https connection for example. I like watching revolutionary things on youtube and do not wish for authorities to know what I am watching, we accept here for the sake of showcase that google won't sell my watch history if asked (LMAO what am I even saying?).
So if I'm not mistaken since youtube has https implemented, our communication is encrypted, the keys are shared only between me and youtube. But when Youtube shares the key with me/my client the first time, is that also encrypted? Wouldn't the same question keep getting answered until there is something unencrypted? I know this is a bit too much unlikely, but if ISP automated the process of gathering keys and decrypting web traffic for a certain site with them for all users, would that work for them?
I'm taking https here as an example, while I have the same question for like VPN.

EDIT: Thank you everybody. I am not a member of this community, but every comment was a golden experience to read!

I tried to interact with lemmygrad using this dbzer0 account but I can't. They also seem to refuse accepting my signup request. when I tried searching "lemmygrad" locally, I found relevant only this comment from captain @[email protected] appearing on the attached screenshot. I tried to follow the comment's post but it is not to be found. Just wanted to know the lore.

This looks like the future of using Lemmy, very beautiful UI
