"Behold, I'm a unicorn!"
Ah, the vim part was me trying a little too much to express a short e sound lazily.
It will still raise eyebrows because that’s not how it’s said.
At least not yet, or by enough to recognize that it is (by some, somewhere!). There's bound to be an accent somewhere that pronounces it like this to where the "normal" way sounds strange 😂
Without writing it out like this: (nō-vĕm′bər) or this (nəʊˈvɛmbə) I wasn't sure how to write it and express the varying sounds of the e's in it. Maybe "no-vim-ber" would have been better?
What you’re looking for is difficult to find in the framing of Science Fiction because its very framing invokes technological advancement - technology is the application of science, and machinery is the result of technological innovation.
Machinery's certainly a result of technological innovation, but not the only result. Different materials, even altogether different forms of organisms are also results of technological innovation. OP's left it rather open, so it may be that they also mean these different applications of science.
fwiw this is poking more fun at the other person that said this in reply to you, which is why I spelled it your(s and another person's) way
Hey speaking of, while [email protected] is a great example, if you're not finding similar communities for your interest, feel free to post over in [email protected] for what Zombiepirate's describing.
Hobby without a community around here? Just not really sure if an existing community is open to non-news posts? General's got ya covered.
Going against the post's spirit, but...If you're not finding a community for your interests (or only finding abandoned/inactive ones), and don't want to create one (or try to get existing ones going), you're welcome over in [email protected]. Post about whatever, find likeminded folks, then if ya think there's enough of ya, you can make a separate community without it being one person posting into a void.
Also there's [email protected]. Similar vibes.
Their other comment elaborates on this more:
Until the link /c/books shows any user, with only one click, the aggregate of all “books” communities in a single place, without subscribing or even logging in. Then lemmy will stagnate because it is failing to live up to its promise of federated decentralization
They want a link like /c/books to work like multireddits did on reddit to collect together books-related communities for improved browsing and discovery.
By the way, I noticed you never commented back on your previous thread here, any reason to that?
Didn't feel there was much to add. Some of the threads I've started here are a mixture of gauging interest and putting ideas out there for others to try.
To add to this, I think as long as decentralization involves having to know how to and have the money to operate a server, it's not going to reach the point some may hope for. The monetary costs may be lower than ever, but that doesn't address the knowledge requirements (not to mention time for setup and upkeep).
Even one of the more user friendly attempts at this so far (AT Protocol) doesn't address this in a meaningful way, as one still has to get into the weeds of server config, domain leasing, etc.
