That one is my backup if the one I got doesn’t work! Thanks for the recommendation.
What the heck. This rewrites a chunk of my childhood.
No one will suspect a spiral staircase under the manhole cover!
I need to do this to my office. I wonder if that wall over there is load bearing. Hmmmm.
That’s also true. It’s less of a problem in pedestrian-heavy walkable cities and towns. But in the average American city or town covered in stroads where car is king, it’s a big problem.
Humans are bad at it, too. If you’ve ever ridden a bike or motorcycle, you quickly learn that car and truck drivers simply aren’t looking for 2 wheelers. And therefore they don’t see them. (I think this reinforces your point).
Don’t many game engines kinda sorta do this?

Reaches for pitchfork.
TL;DR: be careful what you wish for.
Puts pitchfork down, embarrassed cough.
OK, now I understand. I think we’re talking about different things here. Or I missed that point in the paper. I would not want that kind of thing for Wikipedia, I agree with you there.
More people would be great, especially for niche communities.
I don’t see #2 as that big of a problem. Do we want people who won’t expend any effort to join? I guess everyone sees the line between accessible and “dumbed down” a little bit differently. I’m not saying #2 is great. I recognize it is an obstacle. But it’s also kind of the point of Lemmy…in the sense that this is not a monolithic corporate one-size-fits-all kind of endeavor. In a way, the obstacle also serves as a teaching moment, if you will, of how this thing even works.
Item 4 seems a bit chicken-and-egg to me. But my guess is, not being able to find those communities isn’t nearly as big of a problem as those communities not having any content / participants. I can see the argument that one causes the other, but I haven’t found it very challenging to find those empty places. It’s just not much fun to hang out there by yourself.
Not sure I follow you. An update of the visuals / presentation doesn’t change the inherent nature of it. Books get republished with new dust jackets all the time.
I wonder if Wikipedia could mitigate this to some degree by updating their UX. I don’t particularly want them to, and I certainly don’t want a “New Coke” Wikipedia. But the design is rather plain and “looks old” to a modern user.
And people are suckers for a friendly-looking starter like “Certainly!”
LOL, I can picture this person. They probably have a gross-looking bandaid on their downvote finger.
I’ve seen threads where every single comment, no matter how anodyne, has 1 downvote. Don’t bother yourself over it. That way lies madness.
It’s been depicted as various things in old art and literature. Apple is very common. But you also find figs, grapes, pomegranates, and occasionally pears. Probably some others I missed.
I have too much in their ecosystem as it is. Mail. Drive. I think I’ll be skipping Wallet.
Chicken and egg. Linux is roughly 4% of the OS space. If more people would get on board, it would become a better tool. I use both. Windows because I have to. Linux because I want to.
ShutUp10 for the win.
(Linux for the real win).
Yeah, I always glove up when I clean out the p-traps under the sinks. The smell is the worst part.
