Mr Auld-Thomas and his colleagues named the city Valeriana after a nearby lagoon.

…

It is “hidden in plain sight”, the archaeologists say, as it is just 15 minutes hike from a major road near Xpujil where mostly Maya people now live.

This archeologist just discovered a Maya city, and they decided to call it “Valeriana” (in the language of the conquistadors) insted of something like “Xpujil” (in the language of the people who still live there.)

They’re not thinking big enough. They should call it “openai.com” and go for corporate sponsorship!

!upliftingnews@lemmy.world might be a better link to use.

Don’t think there’s anything on lemmy yet.

!fosai@lemmy.world – has a good overview/introduction

Some of those are inactive, though.

Not OP, but FWIW I didn’t realize until reading your comment that the “awesome-selfhosted software” under Resources was actually an FAQ/List. I thought it was a repo of maybe just a couple relevant apps.

I know that doesn’t make a lot of sense now that I think about it, but I think it’s easy to miss.

reddits true size lies at around 5 million or less. Less than 5 times Lemmy’s size.

Lemmy doesn’t have 1.5 million active users; that’s how many active users the Fediverse as a whole has; most of those are Mastodon users. Lemmy has around 32K active users. So if your 5 million number is right, Reddit is around 156 times larger than us.

I’m not the person you asked, but I’ve heard an argument that goes like this: Evil Company will “embrace” something, then “extend” it in a way that only works with Evil Company’s product, then “extinguish” that thing by making Evil Company’s approach incompatible with it.
