Résumé: The Revolutionary Impact of Meme-Driven Discourse on Lemmy
Overview: This article explores the influential role of memes in shaping discourse on Lemmy, a federated social media platform known for its decentralized dialogue. By analyzing user interactions, the study reveals how memes foster engagement, community, and intellectual coping mechanisms within the platform.
Key Findings:
Increased Participation: Memes encourage even passive users to engage, promoting active involvement with minimal effort. Community-Building: Shared humor and inside jokes create a collective sense of belonging that bridges differences among users. Conceptual Compression: Memes can distill complex ideas into easily digestible formats, simplifying otherwise intricate subjects. Cognitive Offloading: Users report relief and mental rest when encountering memes, breaking up the intensity of serious discussions.
Methodology: The research involved ethnographic immersion in meme-centric Lemmy communities, participant observations, meme analysis, and interviews with dedicated users.
Challenges: While memes introduce risks like oversimplification or poor-quality content, their benefits—facilitating meta-discourse and offering coping mechanisms—largely outweigh these issues.
Conclusion: Memes are integral to Lemmy’s ecosystem, enhancing user interaction, community cohesion, and dialogue through their unique blend of humor and insight. This positions memes not just as entertainment but as vital communication tools.
Future Research: Suggested directions include cross-platform meme studies, deeper anthropological analysis, and criteria for evaluating meme quality.

That’s just /c/books on one server.
When say /c/books, I mean all of them, not /c/books@lemmy.ml
Until then, expect nearly all communities to dry on the vine.

Even those that did, remain invisible. This link doesn’t work /c/books
Until the link /c/books shows any user, with only one click, the aggregate of all “books” communities in a single place, without subscribing or even logging in. Then lemmy will stagnate because it is failing to live up to its promise of federated decentralization

Except this link doesn’t work properly /c/books , until it does lemmy is broken, the fediverse is broken, lemmy is not really federated.

No idea, Altsnap, xmbc, everything, windocker, openshell, everything toolbar, fancyZon(ms powertoys) and ditto clipboard manager.
Most of these are very unlikely to work with wine as they address general weak spots in both windows and linux

I mean, I’d like that, but what do you think are the chance the random motherboard in my PC isn’t going to get bricked by and the RAM, pcie 8x/8x bifurcation and srv-io are still going to work ?

HDR is kind of screwier in w10. But yeah, I use w10, it is the last windows. Maybe if someday I can fully defang w11 I might upgrade. Or backport some bits from w11 to w10 but no big deal.

Chatgpt how deadly is covid19, two paragraph answer, include citations
COVID-19 varies in severity, with mortality rates heavily influenced by factors such as age, underlying health conditions, and access to healthcare. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates a global case fatality rate (CFR) of around 1-3%, though this can be much higher among older adults and immunocompromised individuals (WHO, 2023). In comparison to seasonal influenza, COVID-19 has a higher mortality rate, particularly during the initial outbreaks before widespread vaccination. Long-term complications, often referred to as “long COVID,” further increase the disease’s burden beyond acute infection (NIH, 2022).
Vaccination efforts, antiviral treatments, and improved healthcare protocols have reduced mortality rates over time, especially in developed countries (CDC, 2023). However, variants of concern, such as Delta and Omicron, have shown differing degrees of transmissibility and immune escape, complicating pandemic management. Even with lowered death rates in certain populations, COVID-19 remains a significant public health threat, particularly in areas with low vaccination coverage or overstretched healthcare systems (Johns Hopkins University, 2023).

It’s true Peterson doesn’t understand it very and he definitely IS one. As a philosophy, it is quite disagreeable but you’re going have to do better than throw it in the trash during a tantrum and explain yourself. Or else it is the downvote bin for you.
