Ask@piefed.social•Do you believe in separating the work from the artist?English
5·18 days agoThe art is not just the thing - it’s impossible to experience it in isolation of it’s context which you’ve constructed from your experiences and feelings and knowledge as well as how the art is situated and framed to you. This might be the point of the Fountain.
So I think it’s impossible to separate the work for the artist if you have knowledge pertaining to them. Michael Jackson was an incredible talent, and his music is significant in my memories of my own childhood, but it hits different for me now. If we played his music to an alien freshly arrived from Mars they might think it’s perfect, but it never can be again for us.

Are they audience ratings? If so the episode quality is probably even lower towards the end as some audiences will have dropped out so you’re only including the data of folk who stuck with it.

Science@mander.xyz•Artemis II is about to fly past the moon and is set to break recordsEnglish
5·1 month agoLots of articles about how it’s a new distance record (by about 1.5%) , but none saying why. Are they just going past the moon at a bigger distance from the moon, or is it that the moon is at a further away part of it’s orbit? I need detailed explanations.

Australia@aussie.zone•Government halves fuel excise to cut price on petrol and dieselEnglish
5·2 months agoSince the fuel price is set by market forces (rather than a cost plus model), and the law doesn’t prevent price gouging in energy (those laws only apply to supermarkets) we’ll likely see a drop (or at least a pause in the increases) when it’s first introduced, but then the fuel companies will slowly wind it back up till they are pocketing the excise change.
So no - there’s no framework forcing the saving to be passed on to motorists, and in the medium term it will go to fuel companies, funded by taxpayers.
Plus one for Kavita. Only slight bump is that it wants books to be in series because it’s quite manga focused.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What happens to flies when you let them fly out the window of a car at 75 mph?English
17·2 months agoThis. When your mass is so small, you live in a very different world than we do - momentum and gravity are tiny forces on you, but others such as air resistance and static are huge. Additionally they don’t have the sort of inner-ear positioning system we do - so no real sense of “up” and “down” that would be recognizable to us - so probably the inevitable tumbling motion as you are sucked out of the window would not be disorientating to the fly the way it would be to a big animal.
So the answer is they will likely be fine. From their point of view the blob of air they are flying around in gets sucked out the window and they are just traveling in it. I imagine they would notice the acceleration, but it’s a tiny force on them. The sudden distortion to the block of air (being stretched out to fill the sudden low pressure zone outside of the car window) would be a big deal to the fly, but I don’t think enough to damage them.
Source: idle speculation, and a long standing interest in cats surviving huge falls.

As a tinkerer, I have tried Portainer a couple of times, and another similar thing, but I end up never looking at them, and revert to just jumping into the command line. A bonus of this approach is keeping a copy of all my compose files in a repo.
If OP is being drawn to this because they want to know everything’s running, what they’re really looking for is monitoring - probably Uptime Kuma.
