Interesting and related: Noam Chomsky, in his work as linguist, has stated that what reaches the ear (or the eye in this case) is not what reaches the mind. What this means is that we experience language as if it was linearly ordered, when at the cognitive level (in the mind) language is actually hierarchically organized. This means that the underlying structure of language has to interface with the sensory-motoe systems in order to transform the hierarchical structure into a linear one. This is why we sometimes also struggle putting our thoughts into words, because in that interface there is a change in structure that doesn't always preserve the 'original' (hierarchical) structure

Hi! Back in reddit there was a DID community. Is there something equivalent in the fediverse? I'm not a system myself but I know a few and I am doing some research on the topic, so I'd be really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction
I thought I read the title wrong. Good for them
Same here. I used to shave my head and face but recently I went through a period of over-work and didn't have time to shave. Everyone told me I looked better with hair and beard, including the wife. So hair and beard it is then
Maybe the random community would be appropriate too
Here the man explained his motives:

Kbin interacts with Lemmy and seems to me to contain reasonable people willing to have respectful discussions
Since I seem to be the only one not getting this, I'm gonna ask: Can someone explain?
I still listen to mp3 and flacs (younger folks who still know what that means think I'm crazy) so this is actually really cool. Might try it soon
I agree, it's one of the things I dislike about the fediverse (I'm on Kbin)
This ^^
It has a single origin. Sayayin culture. Remember Vegeta was a sayayin, and he and his friends introduced that type of armor when they landed on earth for the first time.
The cartoon that most definitely influenced my life. R.i.P Toriyama
Yes I was intrigued by the topic and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the video and its content. Thanks for sharing OP!
Yeah I agree. I guess it's up to us to change that. But it takes courage to do so
The synth and the LSD. I'll dilute the LSD in water, give it to a while crowd and jam on the synth, becoming the either a music legend, a messiah, or both
I appreciate when people take the effort to create a meme doing some image manipulation plus funny text. Giving prompts to an AI and posting it is the absolute decadence of meme culture. I hate it
I've read all the biographies of Zappa I have found. It's in one of those, but can't remember which. It was an unofficial (not authorized) one
If only he hadn't thrown a bottle of beer over Zappa's daughter and they hadn't fought about it, we would have had so many amazing collaborationa
The next genius was Frank Zappa obviously
What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop?
It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.
ByPass Paywall add-on in firefox is not working with paywalled sites. Alternatives?
As the title says. I am using the ByPass Paywall add-on and it used to work, but since some time it just doesn't. I've made sure the site I am trying to visit is listed in the list of sites, and I've also manually added it, but to no avail. Does anyone know any good alternatives to bypass paywalls, or some way of troubleshooting the add-on?
Kbin is in Polish after the newest update
Since the newest update, I see Kbin on a different language. I think it's Polish, or some similar language. The strange thing is that I don't remember a setting where one can change the display language. And the other strange thing is that this happens only on desktop. If I see Kbin via mobile, the page is in English.
Any tips on how I can set the display back to English?
One of the advantages of being on Kbin is that you can scroll All by New, and see genuinely interesting content
On Reddit, browsing r/All by new would show so much spam, it was really pointless if you just were looking for content. One relied on reddit's algorithm to show you new stuff you hadn't actively searched for. The nice thing about Kbin, and the threadiverse in general, is that you can browse m/All by New as see genuinely interesting posts.
I think the UN, or some international agency, should provide an alternative to youtube and similar social media
So, hear me out: I've read in many posts, articles, opinion pieces, etc how Youtube will be impossible to replace because of the sheer amount of data it stores. Any youtube replacement would need huge data centers and therefore a tremendous amount of money to keep everything running smoothly in terms of hardware, staff, etc.
Seeing as in recent discussions about human rights, and specifically third-generation human rights, the right to economic and social development, and the right to education and communication are mentioned, it makes sense to consider not only access to the Internet, but to platforms that store valuable data, like videos, as rights that should be guaranteed by international organizations.
So would it be too crazy to think that it should be an international human rights organization the one that steps up and provides an alternative to youtube? Securing the hardware, the human resources, and the capit

For those in the know about privacy laws and the such. What is a proper response to reddit's claim that they cannot remove all the information associated to an account without first the user removing
As the title says, Reddit replied to my GDPR request to delete all my data saying I had to do it first, which I suspect is in violation of GDPR law.
Reddit's argument is that to comply with GDPR, they just need to dossociate your account from your posts, so the latter cannot be traced back to you. However, the argument could be made that the posts themselves are enough data to be linked to you.
Is there any type of response that could be framed in legal terms to make reddit really remove all the content from my account?
Is it possible to blur text in articles' titles and text?
I'm part of a few communities where we discus TV shows and it's important to be able to hide spoilers. Be it on the title, the body of the text, or even blur images that are attached to the article.
Is it here a way to do this on Kbin?spoilers,

This was posted some weeks ago, but I feel it might be useful for many folks these days, so reposting the link here.
Is it possible to set notifications for new post for magazines you moderate and/or are subscribed to?
Since we are building new communities, it's important that those of us who want to play an active role setting up these communities, either as active users or moderators, know when people engage in them.
I would like to know if it's possible to get notifications when posts are made in certain communities.
