Looks nsfw

Check out the book Redshirts by John Scalzi. It’s a meta-satire of Star Trek about what would happen if the redshirts started noticing that anyone who goes on a mission with the captain ends up dying. One of the funniest books I’ve read. As a bonus, the audiobook is narrated by Wil Wheaton.

Aww it’s like a bunny wallaby

What sort of description did you use to get this image? Was it just one prompt or a bunch of refining?

That’s awesome. How much instruction do you have to give it to be close enough to what you remember?

They may not care so much about that since they don’t make any ad revenue from those subreddits

It’s a frustrating growing pain but I’m glad he’s working on a fix now rather than waiting until the instance gets overwhelmed

I wonder if they’ll start with the founding of Baghdad proper in the 700s or if they’ll go all the way back to Mesopotamia and Babylon. The article says it focuses of mainly the Abbasid Caliphate in the ninth century but it would be a shame not to include at least something from the cradle of civilization.

What a fascinating project. I’m of two minds about using the storyboard sketch style for the reconstructed content.

On one hand, the footage is lost, and nothing anyone does will be original, so we shouldn’t try to disguise the truth and try to mimic the real footage with the reconstructed segments. Let the original pieces shine and be honest about what has been filled in.

On the other hand, this is something where the use of deepfake technology or incredibly high quality CGI and audio recreation could be a real benefit, so the audience could be immersed in the story without being distracted by the reconstructed content.

It goes both ways. Do you do your best to show the original content and fill in with just enough to keep the story together, or do you try to truly recreate the lost content even though it will never be exactly what they originally created? Do you supplement or replace?

Two likely possibilities with further detail about each below:

1. The link you clicked took you to the community on the host instance rather than the copy on your local instance, or

2. The community is on an instance that’s defederated with your home instance.

When you view and interact with communities and content hosted on another server, you’re technically interacting with a copy of that community/content that’s hosted on your home server and kept in sync with the main copy. So if I want to subscribe to /c/technology hosted on lemmy.world even though my home instance is sh.itjust.works, I need to visit the copy on shitjustworks at sh.itjust.works/c/technology@lemmy.world

If I went to lemmy.world/c/technology, I couldn’t interact because I don’t have an account on the lemmy.world site.

As I said above, communities and content are copied between Lemmy instances and kept in sync across the copies. But sometimes an instance will ‘defederate’ with another, ie cutting the direct connection between them that lets them copy and sync content. In that case, there’s no local copy for me to subscribe to or interact with.

The incorrect link is far more likely to be the issue than defederation, so whenever you run into that issue check the link and make sure it’s the copy on your instance.
