Yupp, I never got the hang of cross-eyed viewing, even with the tips that are around, whereas the “looking through the image” technique is super easy for me, basically just relaxing my eyes. I assume there’s people where it is the other way around, and the cross-eyed method works better for them.

Basically it’s about which image is transferred as information from which of your eyes, and the two different techniques swap the eyes, which also swaps the 3D depth information.

I love the Wellington here viewed the “wrong” way - like the ocean is a massive plateau surrounding the coast, with that strip of developed area rising like another giant wall.

A mere 0.1% of users share 80% of fake news. Twelve accounts – known as the “disinformation dozen” – created most of the vaccine misinformation on Facebook during the pandemic. These few hyperactive users produced enough content to create the false perceptions that many people were vaccine hesitant.

So, this is super anecdotal, but through the father of a friend I learned about a guy who was just downright a walking stereotype in that regard. Said father is a rather conservative guy (ex-cop, actually), got lucky and rather rich, and he lived in a suburban village here in Germany. Said neighbour, as described by him: Also an ex-cop, old acquaintance, wife and kids left him because he was violent, living financially comfortably in a large house in that suburban German village on his own, but miserable. And he, unironically, sent said father of my friend far-right propaganda articles, images, messages just… all day long. Every 10 minutes or so. Presumably as mass messages to about anyone who still had a semblance of contact with him. Anecdotal, hearsay with 2 degrees of separation, but - it was the first time I realised those people existed as actual people just casually living their lives around us all.

It’s definitely not the same, but I am somewhat reminded of Robert Sapolski’s Baboon stress study

Some key paragraphs:

Robert Sapolsky and Lisa Share report evidence of a higher order cultural tradition in wild baboons in Kenya. Rooted in field observations of a group of olive baboons (called the Forest Troop) since 1978, Sapolsky and Share document the emergence of a unique culture affecting the “overall structure and social atmosphere” of the troop.

Through a heartbreaking twist of fate, the most aggressive males in the Forest Troop were wiped out. The males, which had taken to foraging in an open garbage pit adjacent to a tourist lodge, had contracted bovine tuberculosis, and most died between 1983 and 1986. Their deaths drastically changed the gender composition of the troop, more than doubling the ratio of females to males, and by 1986 troop behavior had changed considerably as well; males were significantly less aggressive.

After the deaths, Sapolsky stopped observing the Forest Troop until 1993. Surprisingly, even though no adult males from the 1983–1986 period remained in the Forest Troop in 1993 (males migrate after puberty), the new males exhibited the less aggressive behavior of their predecessors.

The authors found that while in some respects male to male dominance behaviors and patterns of aggression were similar in both the Forest and control troops, there were differences that significantly reduced stress for low ranking males, which were far better tolerated by dominant males than were their counterparts in the control troops. The males in the Forest Troop also displayed more grooming behavior, an activity that’s decidedly less stressful than fighting. Analyzing blood samples from the different troops, Sapolsky and Share found that the Forest Troop males lacked the distinctive physiological markers of stress, such as elevated levels of stress-induced hormones, seen in the control troops.

But if aggressive behavior in baboons does have a cultural rather than a biological foundation, perhaps there’s hope for us as well.

Stimmt, in der Hinsicht war tatsächlich die FDP deutlich relevanter.

Die CDU hatte schon auch ihren Anteil dran getragen, Altnazis eine Karriere zu ermöglichen, und hat damals dann ja auch gerade im Rahmen der 68er genug Kritik geerntet, aber in Retrospektive ist Nachfolgerpartei tatsächlich nicht richtig. Aber “in jeglicher Hinsicht” - auch wenn im Streit verständlich - läuft in meinen Augen dann Gefahr den Aspekt wiederum zu unterbewerten.

Die AFD hatte sich in jüngerer Geschichte aber schon gut am Werteverfall am rechten Rand der CxU aufgebaut, und beeinflusst nun mehr und mehr selbst die Partei. Es fällt ja auch global auf, dass es immer weniger quasi “Wertekonservative” zu geben scheint, und immer mehr nihilistisches “Werte sind nur Mittel zum Zweck und zur Kontrolle” - Denken, mit dem guten “Werte für meine Feinde und nützliche Idioten, Grenzüberschreitung für mich und Freunde”.

I can only do parallel-view, not crosseyed, those look so surreal that way (inverted height/depth basically)

Hatte ich auch hin-und-her gehadert, es zuerst nur in !Geschichte@feddit.org gepostet, und dann am Ende überlegt, dass es ja schon etwas Bezug hat für D als Kernland im kalten Krieg und A und CH zumindest als Teil von Europa, und DACH ist Sammelbecken - und wenn nichts sonst macht es durch die “cross-posted to:” Anzeige im lemmy-ui vielleicht zumindest etwas Bewusstsein für die existenz von /c/Geschichte@feddit.org aufmerksam.

Aber wenn es entfernt wird, kann ich das auch gut verstehen.

„Allein die Bürokratiekosten eines einzigen Artikels der Wiederherstellungsverordnung belaufen sich auf 1,7 Milliarden Euro – Mittel, die in zahlreichen sinnvollen Projekten besser investiert wären als in zusätzliche Bürokratie“. Die Zahl stammt aus einem Papier der „Bund/Länder-Arbeitsgemeinschaft Naturschutz, Landschaftspflege und Erholung (LANA)“, einem Arbeitsgremium der Umweltministerkonferenz von Anfang des Jahres und bezieht sich auf Artikel 4 der Verordnung. Dieser sieht die Wiederherstellung von „Land-, Küsten- und Süßwasserökosystemen“ vor und enthält konkrete, zeitgebundene Ziele für die Umsetzung von Wiederherstellungsmaßnahmen, um den Zustand von Naturschutzgebieten zu verbessern.

Die LANA-Expertengruppe „Naturschutzfinanzierung und Agrarreform“ listet in einer Tabelle auf, wie viel Geld etwa für Ausgleichszahlungen für Artenschutzmaßnahmen, die Bewirtschaftung von Offenland oder Maßnahmen im Wald notwendig werden könnten. Dieses Geld würde auch an Land­be­sit­ze­r:in­nen fließen, die geschützte Flächen besitzen, wenn sie dort Naturschutzmaßnahmen durchführen. Insgesamt errechnen die Experten die Summe von 1.731,9 Millionen Euro – und benennen auch Möglichkeiten, sie zu finanzieren. So stünden den Ländern aus den Töpfen der Gemeinschaftsaufgabe der Verbesserung der Agrarstruktur und des Küstenschutzes sowie dem Aktionsprogramm natürlicher Klimaschutz erhebliche Mittel bereit.

Also, wie das in Deutschland (und anderswo) üblich ist: Eine Zahl von Kontext befreien, sagen es ist 👻 BÜROKRATIE 👻, die Zahl sieht dann auch sehr groß aus (dabei sind 1,7 Milliarden für einen Haushalt jetzt zwar keine triviale, aber eben auch keine horrende Summe) - und schon sind viele schnell überzeugt, dass so was sofort wieder weg muss.

They do link to the actual study, which does not throw up any immediately obvious signs to be cautious for me, but I also couldn’t do the detailed work of deeper research myself. They reference a hypothesis that preceded the study, which they were trying to test with this. I don’t know if this is a case of bias or even manipulation at work, but at least at a superficial glance, it doesn’t immediately scream “total hacks doing unscientific things.”

Ich würz den ganzen Tag und ich würz die ganze Nacht

Always reminds me of the classic Brecht piece “Saint Joan of the Stockyards” whenever I see celebrations of “charity” like this.

No sad onions allowed!

Ah, I am sad to hear that. And sorry that has been your experience.

As only an amateur coder, I can’t weigh in how serious the issue is, but I’m gonna take your word for it, without any other person involved adding input. I hope it’ll end up in a state, where the project can still sustain its growth in both features and users.

Dude… you are literally claiming A) that I am vegan when I explicitly wrote that I am not, and B) that I am “not open to alternatives”, when I myself mentioned two aspects concerning how animal raising can be done sustainably, only that that is not what our current system favours due to reasons of maximising profitability.

So, I do get where you are coming from - but there are some things to consider. Firstly: while domestication and animal husbandry are pretty old, factory farming and such is very recent and has given everything a pretty new touch. While I think it’s still valid to bring up as an argument, “X has existed as a pillar of our life for thousands of years” is usually not a great argument in and of itself, the same could easily be used to argue for slavery and a lot of other fucked up shit in history.

Besides that, there is sustainability. Yes grass-fed cattle can actually be sustainable, and allow for utilising land that is otherwise not usable to produce food. Also there is plant matter and “waste” from farming and food production more broadly, that can be utilised in feeding livestock sustainably, which would otherwise be composted anyway (and in some cases, gets pre-composted pretty well by said animals). So, yes, there are ways to produce meat and other animal-derived products sustainably … but that is usually a bit of a cop-out, trying to divert attention from how the vast, vast majority of meat production is not sustainable in mostly water and CO2 numbers.

Personally speaking, I am also not vegan and not an animal rights activist - but claiming it is simply a continuation does miss some aspects.

Congratulations Ruud & Rest - everyone at the foundation really, it’s just fun to say Ruud & Rest! I’m excited to see how this will develop. PieFed does have a lot of features already, that I do miss for Lemmy, and the communication from the main dev has been great so far. (An opportunity to post links to his PeerTube channel, as well as his Liberapay profile).

A great addition to the “Threadiverse” in particular, and the larger Fediverse!

OI! DAT PYUNEE HUMEE’Z NO PROPAH KRORK IT IZN’T!

You actually make a great point. Really, for me it was mostly a quick idea because I had been musing about PeerTube’s streaming capabilities in a different comment thread, and about how it leverages the P2P mechanism, so it was fresh on my mind that I wanted to stress-test my own server somehow (and I wanted to learn how to set-up OBS with chat and stuff for PeerTube). Then, while “working” on the canvas, I had the sudden: “Hey, I’d love to set my pixels while zoomed in, while also watching the whole field zoomed out”-thought … but of course that would just as easily be possible by just having two browser windows open 🤷

If nothing else, I got some promising data showing my server can handle several people tuning in to live streams at the same time - and I am also using this to test how my server handles someone wanting to encode a 24h+ VOD from a stream, so that will be there, too - probably for another time-lapse in addition to the official ones.

So, if you haven’t checked that one already, !peertube@lemmy.wtf has a great sticky post with recommendations! (Lemmyverse Link for instance-agnostic linking.)

From a quick glance, your content could probably fit well on https://spectra.video/ - as long as it is OC, it has a good home there. If you want to utilize automatic mirroring from YT with the built-in yt-dlp feature of PeerTube, https://peertube.wtf/ still had that one working last time I checked. (Problem there being that YT blocks IP ranges from most servers, so yt-dlp will fail to download the videos).

Lastly, I can advertise my own instance - although I am slowly reaching the point where I will have to consider not taking on more accounts, and it is still just a personal project - whereas other instances in the above list have been around for quite a while longer and are more proven on that front.

Oooh…

It’s meant to be “Go on”. That took me way too long, truly embarrassing amounts of onlineness. I was about to ask here what they were thinking “[to] goon” was supposed to mean. Or if this was in the henchmen lounge of the local BBEG’s lair.

Last time I checked with them https://peertube.wtf/ had their import script still working. The problem being: YouTube blocks IP ranges that seem suspicious to them, so as soon as you have any professional server, it tends to come with an IP from a range YT blocks, so the yt-dlp + autoimport feature of PeerTube won’t work any more.

If you have your videos still as original files ready to upload, and just want an instance in general, or if downloading and uploading by hand isn’t daunting to you - here’s a good list for an overview - (here’s also a Lemmyverse link for instance-agnostic access to the same post.)
