On a related note, it's long been a dream of mine to "download a car" by 3D scanning a nice 1:18 model of something exotic (like a Ferrari 250 Berlinetta Lusso or BMW 507), pay a company to create a full size model by milling it out of a huge block of foam with a huge 5-axis CNC machine, cast fiber glass molds of the body panels, build a spaceframe chassis underneath, fit the rear subframe of a Tesla, and the front axle of a Miata, and live forever in glory.

Longtime Lemmy Users: aside from sheer size, do you feel like the site has changed since the influx of reddit refugees, and if so, how? (lemmy.world)
 

I've not been here long, but I'm curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.

How reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history: Did it, though? in c/[email protected]
It's so much easier to comment on Lemmy because it isn't a toxic cesspool waiting to tear you apart in c/[email protected]
Question: People who still frequent Reddit, has it gone back to business as usual or are the protests still having effect? in c/[email protected]

An interesting article I saw (from 2019) describing the potential intrinsic tendency for decentralized platforms to collapse into de facto centralized ones.

Author identifies two extremes, "information dictatorship" and "information anarchy", and the flaws of each, as well as a third option "information democracy" to try and capture the best aspects of decentralization while eschewing the worst.

Someone said the link is broken so here it is: https://rosenzweig.io/blog/the-federation-fallacy.html

Does anybody play Cardle? It's like Wordle but daily pictures of cars to guess. (cardle.uk)
 

It's a lot of fun. I remember many years ago Top Gear's website had a game like this.

I'm proud to say I guess the car correctly most days. Sometimes I need assistance by image search or wikipedia to look at e.g. production timelines of manufacturers.

I wish there was a way to track my stats, so I could see if I'm improving, and what my average number of guesses is.
