What do you think may be the clearest means of communicating information between people, and for what reasons?
  • I was meaning any kind of information wherein clarity may be valued, so political information is a valid kind to consider for sure!

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

  • What managed web hosting services might you recommend?
  • Some more detail: I'm asking in regards to basics for those interested in setting up their own place online, but also just as much for some of the online services you can't be bothered to spin up yourself for one reason or another.

  • Far-right leaders are winning across the globe. Blaming ‘the economy’ or ‘the left-behinds’ won’t cut it
  • They only trust what the hear and see on social media.

    Is there any data yet that backs this thinking?

  • What platform do you use to communicate with beta readers?
  • By beta reading, do you mean beta in a similar sense to software, so like draft reading/readers?

  • Somebody moved UK's oldest satellite, and no-one knows who or why
  • Would there be any sort of logs either from the systems used to move the satellite, or aboard the satellite itself, to help answer the who question, if nothing else?

  • What was the historical equivalent, of sorts, to public blogs?
  • That's what I'm not sure of, like where would something like public blogs have appeared in the past? I know the private version is basically a journal or diary, but I'm not as sure if those were sometimes more publicly shared in the past or not.

    To be more specific, by blog I'm thinking like personal, individual writings on whatever they happened to be thinking about or interested in.

  • What are some forms of mobile storage and organizers you'd recommend?
  • Honestly broadly interested in storing/organizing any variety of things but in a way that they may be easily moved around. Tool carts are always a fav in this respect, and make me curious about similar for other things like books/models/etc.

    What are some forms of mobile storage and organizers you'd recommend?

    By mobile I mean easy to move around without extra tools like dollies or sliders or the like.

    How do offline, local groups get started and reach others now?
  • I think posters/flyers are one of the most powerful ways to reach people in a local area, you’ve got to be in the local area to see them, right?

    For sure in terms of locality, but not sure how effective they are in areas with lower foot traffic due to infrastructure. In a city this may work well, but does it also work as well in more rural, spread-out areas?

  • How do offline, local groups get started and reach others now?
  • Follow-up: has anyone coming across this post started a local group, or helped with one starting out that could relate how they went about it?

  • Once Again, the Democratic Leadership Has Failed Us All
  • 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?
  • 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?
  • 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?
  • 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?

  • that's basically fine
  • Is removing swords from inside one's body detrimental or beneficial in this situation?

  • How do offline, local groups get started and reach others now?
  • Appreciate the advice for finding groups! However, my question is more about getting them started and handling outreach to keep them going.

    This does provide some insight into some venues that may be good for them, so thanks!

  • How do offline, local groups get started and reach others now?

    For any range of topics, lighthearted to serious, hobbies and games to helping and engaging with community matters. Regarding reach, I mean what ways may be used alongside word of mouth, as I honestly don't hear people talk about groups they're in (besides sports/bands) all that much.

    FBI warns that fake videos using its name, insignia are spreading election misinformation
  • Is it possible this is a case of Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man, given the history of the FBI (and other U.S. intelligence agencies)?

  • What gameplay settings/options would make you more apt to play different game genres?

    Original, clunky form of the question:

    > What gameplay settings/options that some game genres don't often have would make you more apt to play them?

    Another pixel art landscape
  • What's NN sampling?

  • How are Misskey and its forks doing?

    By which I mean in terms of usage, development, or stability. Also along those lines, which English-speaking instances would you recommend?

    Interested as Misskey & forks have some feature edges over Mastodon in my opinion, but it's somewhat harder to find discussion/info about them.

    How do bigger organizations handle spam calls/large volumes of spam calls?

    Seems likely big businesses would be obvious targets for tons of unwanted phone calls, so how do they deal with this?

    Advice on building an online portfolio of work while balancing privacy?

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/20402370 or https://lemm.ee/post/43793474

    > Technically, I have some online activity I could try to refer to for work purposes, but it would mean sharing content tied to usernames/profiles I think of more as casual and personal. I could delete those profiles and move the relevant work to usernames/profiles I'm willing to share, but then I'm less likely to use those as much for portfolio building as I wouldn't want to contribute/do things online under a more public-facing profile, or link my personal ones to said profile. > > Any which way I think about it involves crossing private/public streams I'd prefer to keep uncrossed, but I'm thinking I may be overlooking some compromises that could work, so what might those be?

    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.
