Do they? The linked blog’s biography is written with masculine pronouns.

@ozoned I see, but if you call a “reality” a dimension, what is it that you call a universe?

@PinkOwls
The math/physical concept of dimension does sometimes appear in scifi though, think about hyperspace.

The scifi “dimension” is as meaningless as “plane of existence”

Does not sound too meaningless to me, but I’m used to calling that a universe 😁

think about the sentence “the universe is a part of our dimension”

I’m trying ahah. But if you call the universe a dimension, which subpart of it do you call a universe? The observable universe maybe? I mean it makes sense to say that the observable universe is part of our universe. Still sounds strange the way it is presented by OP.

@PinkOwls
I thought “dimension” in scifi was meant as “universe”, like a parallel dimension is a parallel universe. What is the difference between the two?

@ozoned

universe is a part of our dimension

Not familiar with this concept of dimension tbh. I think that when one talks about something bigger than the Universe, they have a specific theory in mind, with its specific definition of what the universe is. Which theory do you take this notion of dimension from?

@pimeys
You cannot follow Lemmy users, only communities. AFAIU, Lemmy just does not do anything with that request.

To share my experience : my Friendica account is set up to automatically boost anything @Liwott produces, and it does so as soon as this instance is aware of the Lemmy posting, but that does not always happen automatically. Sometimes I have to search my Lemmy post on Friendica, and only then it is boosted. Note that I do follow my Lemmy account from here

Call them whatever you want, but please not <something>verse. They do not form a separate universe, they talk as much with the rest of the fediverse as with each other

@Veritas
Without a domain, who is the author of the votes and comments?
How does one reply back if there is no sender’s address?
Do you mean zot-like decentralised identity?

See this related idea by @roko , where admins can block instances, but the user can unblock them for themself

I agreed a priori, which, as you probably guessed, is exactly why I put that parenthesis 😀 But I think in practice the starting point already is too complex. For example, I opened inkscape and saved the empty image, the result is already more than 1KB. Similarly, Lemmy’s very simple logo is already 3KB.

I didn’t know there was an actual limit to the size of a QR code, but as we see a big problem with (raster) images is that the QR code rapidly becomes much more complex than the image itself
