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.
I’m generally curious and/or trying to get a sense of people’s views.
This does seem to come closer to what I was wondering about when I originally posted, good eye!
OP asks the real life equivalent of being AFK which, assuming you’re normally regularly online, only really corresponds to being high or sleeping.
The funny thing is, it didn’t occur to me how vague my question was until after I posted and started seeing the replies. That’s made it more fun tbh, and interesting as in this context (online vs. in real life) I’ve not really thought of being online in such individualistic terms as this and some other replies suggest.
Thanks for the reply and note on the pen use!
Ooh, which drawing app did you use for this?
While Lemmy doesn’t have enough people for each product category yet, have you checked out the community !buyitforlife@slrpnk.net?
There’s also !recommendations@lemmy.world for broader discussion, but it’s not gained much traction yet.
While largely true, I was also thinking of filtering/sorting systems within specific sites (e.g. stores/archives/etc.) as well, which may result in similar junk results but fewer than with a search engine.
Have you seen Publii yet? Dunno how well it works on Linux, but there’s a version for Linux as well.
Is this ever noted in any of the documentation, outside of some fine print, with the printer to let someone know that it’s being done? If your product is secretly leaving indicators for anyone aware of the indicators to track your actions in some way, that’s problematic in my opinion.
Given a printer is arguably a lesser issue anymore, but the same idea applies with other tech.
I feel less conflicted about talking up community-built things than business-built things, since the former can use the attention and typically lacks any sort of marketing or other means of promoting themselves. Businesses don’t need any more of either given they often literally have marketing divisions or can afford to hire marketing firms.
But the fact that you feel like you’re an ad suggests that maybe you’re doing it too often.
It’s not that I feel like that, as I don’t talk much about these things, and I don’t because even the little I might sometimes feels that way. It’s more of a conflicted feeling than feeling outright like an ad, as in that it can come across as promotional even if it may simply be talking about a good experience.
Isn’t this simply a contrivance to uphold a questionable system?
Your last sentence gets at part of what I was thinking in writing this question. I see where others are coming from when talking among friends or not awkwardly dropping in products/titles, but it’s that limbo space when either talking among acquaintances or online with strangers where it gets murkier to me.
I think some of this also comes from the posting culture you see if you browse microblogging platforms, even apart from influencer-types, which I think comes from the constraints of a lower character count to some degree.
What sets IceShrimp apart from the other Misskey forks in your opinion?
This is mostly a symptom of being online too much and seeing enough ads to think critically about them.
Would this apply even in the case of an avid ad-blocking person? At least that’s my situation, so what I’m seeing is less the ad-ridden web and more what remains, which is still a lot of discussion of commercial stuff.
I guess I’m thinking along the lines of the “What the hell is water?” story in a way.
Speaking of focus, would you happen to know of any papers or texts involved in attempting to study focus? Your mention of it got me thinking about that and realizing I’m not sure how much we grasp about focus as a cognitive process.
In an abstract sense the money would likely go to the owner of the IP unless there was a deal regarding distribution or creation of that specific thing.
Yeah that was another element I was wondering about, but couldn’t sort out how to ask without what struck me as a convoluted title question. If I understand right on this point, you’re saying with say, shows/books/movies/shows/games/etc., it tends to go to the IP owners apart from any other arrangements?
So another form of this, even if the publisher/creative company goes under, but the work is still being sold, may involve the money going to some obscure holding company that bought up the IP?
So simple tasks are fine, but when I need to think I’m gone.
Glad I’m not alone on this…Although I think the problem for me is I also take the time doing those simple tasks to think even more which is part of what inspired this question.
Now that you mention it, that might be a good approach for those trying to learn while busy, or trying to learn all the things while learning other things. 😅
That’s kind of what I was thinking may be the case, but I’m not sure if I’m asking this well enough or if I may be misunderstanding ActivityPub.
It’s not clear to me how, without communication/searching outside of an ActivityPub instance, it would ever find other ActivityPub instances to connect to and communicate with.
Appreciate the reply! It’s a cool way to view it in individual terms. I was thinking in more social terms, however, which I’ve been a little fascinated to find seems to be a little atypical from the replies so far.
