Depends on if gaining a yogurt eating habit is defined as being a better person or not xP

I do think your heart is in the right place trying to find and discuss engagement issues in the threadiverse. That's obviously been a common complaint people have posted about and I can see you believe strongly about this.

I think I just disagree with the issue at hand, or at least that there is a single one and that this solves it. To give an anecdotal example: I make a post around every day on kbin.social that gets 0 likes, 0 dislikes, and 0 comments, in other words no engagement. You might say this is due to it being difficult to find! Well, it actually is! So much so because it doesn't even federate out to lemmy.world, lemm.ee, fedia.io, etc. I check remote instances and my posts never federate anywhere. If you look at my profile from your instance, lemmy.world, it would seem I barely have any posts, but on my home one I have quite a few.

This is just one example of course, but from my perspective, the major issues we have right now are technical ones, and I'd like to see those fixed before trying to focus on social ones.

Mastodon solved this with an Explore-Feed, which consolidates the Local- and All-Feed

Can you please explain what that means for non-mastodon users. As far as I know about lemmy, which granted isn't much, local posts are not hidden from all, meaning it already is a consolidated local and all feed.

Personally, I didn't agree with your previous post and I don't agree with this. I believe instance owners can run their instance however they wish, they're the ones paying and maintaining it. If it's not suited to your tastes, there are other places to look at. If an instance wants to federate with no one or hide all remote posts or anything, that is their choice to run the software that way. People aren't locked in jail cells making decisions with no information of the outside world. Nor are the defaults they set locked either, I just bookmark "hot" and "sub" and go to those every time, regardless of what the homepage has set.

Seems to be from here: https://drleviharrison.com/mouse-sensitivity-gaming-rsi/

So at the very least is a real person and appears accurate to his claims

In observing high sensitivity play, it is clear that there is more of an isolation of the hand and wrist in regards to movement. These players will flick their wrists aggressively, hence engaging the anatomical structures that are at risk for developing RSI including the carpal tunnel, the wrist, joints, tendons, etc.

Reads as though the shorter, violent action of wrist flicking is claimed to be more damaging than constant, slower movement.

Which I definitely prefer. The chatgpt thing in the OP had me thinking -I- was hallucinating. I've always felt it takes less hand movement to move across the screen with acceleration

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

People turn it off?! Surely it is faster with acceleration rather than without?! I guess I can try, I have now disabled enhance pointer precision in windows. What I can say is, it does actually seem to go faster I expected. I then tried to get back to the checkbox to turn it back on and completely overshot the selection box and then overcorrected my overcorrection. Now I'm curious what most people use.

Definitely my first thought was some kind of hobbyist kiln

I have a metal coffee table that I tap every time I get up. Maybe something similar if not that, like an end table next to your couch?

These are some good wasp facts, you're winning me over. I only ever have dealt with hornets and yellowjackets as far as I know, nothing as cute as the one in photo you took!

As a bee lover I'm not a huge wasp fan but I think I've read some do help pollinate as well, perhaps this is one of those
