thanks for the insight, much appreciated!

thanks for your answer. that’s what i feared, but its good to be sure!

thanks for your comment and recommendation.

i use this at work, and its great. Only downside is, that the buttons are hard to identify and move depending on the size of the screenshot, so you always have to search for the function you need.

Does anyone have a workaround for this?

Even the internet archive is nothing in comparison to the image data used for street view.

honest curiosity, don’t want to flame war: do you have numbers for that?

stitching is no longer a requirement because of 360° cameras, is it? it could also be made on the client side if really needed. if people can use josm to contribute to osm, they can use some other software for stitching?!

have you seen that the internet archive has also quite high res books scans and videos?

if your aiming for covering every small street of the whole world tomorrow, you are right: it won’t work. but nothing would stop to start with a single city or a region?

lets agree to disagree :-)

you have a point there.

and yet we have the internet archive… so it seems to be possible.

any sane people would same the same about a map covering the whole world, and yet there is openstreetmap.

yes there are many challenges, but if you start small and grow from there it could work and maybe span a town or two in a couple of years…

please show me a similar statistical map where you can see no difference between east and west Germany :-( i think German reunification did not work out as intended, many mistakes were made…

i think you mix two concepts here:

the first is basically that you can post to multiple communities at once (community = tag)

the second is that users can assign tags/communities to existing posts, and vote for them

i like both and already thought about the first one, but not the second one… I first thought it might be a problem that if you add a community/tag to an existing post it will be immediately visible on said community/tag, but if this is a problem for said community, someone could down-vote there and it would vanish. but then you would need two up votes: one for community fit, and one for the post itself. could be a problem, if you post one link to a very popular community and a very small one, then the post would get many upvotes and be on the top of the small one…

how would you federate? it comes natural for lemmy to have each community on a seperate server, but how would you do this for a project like dmoz?

i don’t think it would be a good idea that one server could own “art” for example, and no one else could contribute. and on the other side it would not be a good idea if everyone could add sites for “art” as then it’s just a federated wiki? you still would have to fight spam? do all entries in “art” have the same priority? or should there be some voting, or verifying from other instances maybe? but then rough instances could vote for each other?!

how big is the spam problem on lemmy?

wenn jemand sehnsucht nach “Server error” hat, kann er folgenden befehl verwenden:

curl --resolve feddit.de:443:194.36.144.161 https://feddit.de/

mit dem passenden eintrag in der hosts-datei sollte es dann sogar auch im browser erreichbar sein.

hm. i did not think about serious illnesses when writing my comment. maybe we can specify this as a “not running system”, but i can understand that my first snarky comment could be perceived as rude when you have problems with your body. i fear i walked right in the privileged trap without realizing it?

you can not.

just think about it: 80 to 100 years uptime, no reboot, no fall back system, not even a cold spare. and you want to change something while its running? madness! maybe if you are very lucky you may be able to replace some of the internal components… but not to upgrade, only if your on the risk to loose the whole system…

90 millions years of evolution, or you: who knows better?

It looks funny on pictures, but i bet everything would go south if you would straighten it out or reorganize it.

If you don’t know the intend why it looks as it currently looks i would not touch it. even if you know why it looks like that and you can somehow compensate those effects, i would not do this on my own body for the first time…

Never change a running system. Even small changes may have unexpected consequences, if the machine is as complex as our bodies…

Rich text in the modern world is almost exclusively solved by using markdown because it’s such a trivial solution.

citation needed

markdown is not a trivial solution: there are many different implementations, it’s a barrier for non technical people and it allows you to embed any html, so you need an additional html sanitizer.

my definition of a “rich textbox” is a WYSIWYG field, and markdown does not help you with this?!

yes, you probably would not save the formatted text normalized over multiple database columns, and only use a single field for a the text with formatting embedded in html or another format, and another one with the text without formatting for possible full text search. but even if you would solve this using markdown (which limits you to a quite small subset of text formatting and bad extensibility) you would still need a good data format to store the formatted text in memory that allows you to render the text. and markdown does not help you with this either?!

It probably will grow roots if you cut it. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracaena_sanderiana#Cultivation

You could also plant it into a real pot.

Do you fertilize the water somehow?
