Cheshire,

Between liking cats, favoring the colors purple and blue, and enjoying humor based on twisted logic, choosing “Cheshire Cat” as namesake seemed obvious.

Cheshire,

There’s a correlation between eyesight and intelligence (in species, not individuals) - interpreting visual inputs takes a lot of brain power, and might be one of the factors pushing for greater intelligence. So, there’s at least a decent chance that intelligent aliens would have good eyesight.

Also, they’d need hands, or something equivalent.

Once you have hand(equivalent)s, decent eyes, and intelligence, hand-eye-coordination isn’t far off.

If elephants can figure out how to throw rocks with enough force to kill a child, then so can E.T.

Cheshire,

Don’t get your hopes up.

Microsoft is now working on Windows Copilot, a new sidebar for Windows 11 that is powered by Bing Chat and can control Windows settings, answer questions, and lots more.

They’re already working on a successor.

Cheshire,

I don’t think you’re missing anything.

It’s just tradable karma on the blockchain.

Cheshire,

Raise Dead is fine, it’s the second “become alive again” spell after CPR Revivify.

Animate Dead is the “get skeletons and zombies” spell.

That being said, the various re-alive-ing spells are kind of the best reason for a “necromancy is evil”-argument. Or at least, they used to be.

In 3.5, nothing - not even True Resurrection, which was just “name dead creature, creature pops up next to you, alive” - could bring someone back who had been turned undead, until the undead had been destroyed.

Which means the easiest way to prevent someone from getting brought back to life was to turn them into an undead skeleton and hide them somewhere, nothing short of direct divine intervention would be able to return them to life unless something destroyed the skeleton.

This strongly implied that turning the body into an undead also trapped and enslaved the soul. After all, otherwise, True Rez - requiring nothing but the name of the target, and able to straight up build a new body from scratch - wouldn’t fail to rez someone just because their body was desecrated.

Now, in 5e, True Rez says that it can be casted on an undead to return them to life, but also only that it can restore a body “if the original no longer exists”, which I guess implies that simply embalming/non-necromantically mummifying the body and hiding it away would also work (since the body still exists that way, and thus 5e’s True Rez wouldn’t build a new one), making the only notable difference between an undead and a corpse that the undead might not hold still during the resurrection.

Basically, Necromancy went from 3.5’s “implied soul slavery” to 5e’s “corpse desecration, which is a cultural construct”.

Cheshire,

Oh, it also had the [evil] tag, which means that just how a spell tagged [fire] releases elemental fire into the world, a spell tagged [evil] releases pure evil energy, magically making the world a worse place… somehow. For reasons. 3.5 loved to give alignment mechanical effects, it had one or two books (Vile Darkness was technically for 3.0) entirely dedicated to hard rules for morality.

But 5e doesn’t have tags like that, and alignment is almost irrelevant. Which is probably for the better, because alignment is incredibly subjective.

Cheshire,

Der BND wird vom BND überwacht, und der BND konnte beim BND kein Fehlverhalten feststellen.

Beehaw "entföderiert" sich von lemmy.world und sh.itjust.works

Begründung ist wohl der hohe Moderationsaufwand bei Föderationen mit Instanzen mit offener Anmeldung. Ich weiß nicht was ich davon halten soll, als beehaw-User würde es mich auf jeden Fall glaube ich ziemlich nerven und mich dazu bewegen, mich stattdessen auf lemmy.world oder sh.itjust.works zu registrieren. Ich bin...

Cheshire,

Mein Verständnis (von Mastodon, welche auf demselben Fediverse-Prinzipien basiert) ist das deföderieren in beide Richtungen geht - also, wenn eine Instanz sich von einer anderen deföderiert, dann reden die Instanzen nicht mehr miteinander, in keine Richtung.

Es geht darum das die Admins auf Beehaw dem Content bzw. den "ungefilterten" Usern auf Lemmy.world nicht trauen. Heißt, nichts von Lemmy.world-Usern wird auf Beehaw empfangen, weder Posts noch Kommentare.

Beehaw-Nutzer können auf Lemmy.world nicht mehr mitmachen, weil sie Lemmy.world-Nutzer nicht mehr sehen, und Lemmy.world-Nutzer könnten, theoretisch, nicht mehr auf Beehaw mitmachen da man ihre Kommentare dort nicht mehr lesen kann - aber um Verwirrungen, Geister-Kommentare, und ähnliches zu vermeiden sendet Beehaw von Anfang an keine Daten mehr an Lemmy.world, sodass das "nicht mehr sehen" in beide Richtungen geht.

Heißt, egal ob man auf Lemmy.world oder Beehaw ist, die jeweils andere Instanz "existiert nicht mehr".

Für uns hier ist es aber egal, unsere Instanz ist noch weiter im Kontakt mit beiden anderen Instanzen, auch wenn diese beiden Instanzen nicht mehr miteinander reden.
