Yeah but Lemmy is a link aggregator with social media elements like comments and “likes”, it’s more post based than people based, you can’t follow users for example etc, there are fediverse equivalents of Facebook like diaspora or friendica, even mastodon is more people people oriented than Lemmy
Lemmie commies influx😅
isn’t it just a new way to access screen based search? i mean, i can do things you tak about by launching google assistant (non-gemini) and choosing “search on my screen”, i use it daily to translate difficult japanese in my dulingo, select text and search on my non-pixel/samsung phone, it’ there since few years AFAIK, i don’t think it’s going anywhere, because reverse image search is the future, also you’re training their neural networks that way(👉ﾟヮﾟ)👉
Using light to communicate has a pretty long history, you just blink lights in a pattern, same as electric signals just without a wire, I mean you can use a “wire” to make light go further (optical fiber), you send zeros and ones by turning the laser on and off, that’s all, optical audio connections came to the market in 1983, the undersea internet cable are optical etc, you can blink a flashlight in Morse code and it’s a light based communication, swap flashlight with a laser and you have “an information in a laser beam”, that’s all, you want to send more info faster just blink faster
So you could say his suffering was… not in vein
