    Ideogram has a magic prompt feature that turns concise prompts into elaborate ones. In this case I actually entered a short prompt in Ideogram but I didn’t like the output. Then I copied the magic prompt into Copilot and got what I wanted.

The fish leaps gracefully through a ring of flames, while Betty Boop maintains her balance and holds a box of Rice Krispies. The background is a blend of vibrant colors, with onlookers watching the spectacle in awe. The overall atmosphere is playful and nostalgic, evoking a sense of wonder and delight.

    My Neighbour Totoro is unique. In this film kids actually act and talk like kids. It is extremely imaginative and magical while not trying to be epic. It treats the audience as intelligent, curious people, giving a lot of quiet thinking space in between scenes.

    It is a masterpiece of film making. The other Studio Ghibili films are good, but Totoro remains to be my favourite.

    Developers, please give us more visibility options.

    The aim of a streamlined user interface is appreciated, but the current trend towards extreme minimalism can be counterproductive. It often leads to a cumbersome experience where accessing common features or information requires unnecessary navigation. Take, for instance, the display of the author's name and instance. Certain Lemmy applications deem the instance trivial and choose to hide it, while others omit the author's details from the main feed entirely, necessitating extra steps to uncover them. Another example is the ability to view upvotes and downvotes as distinct figures. While some may only want the aggregate score, the absence of this feature overlooks the preferences of users who value this detail. Implementing optional features like displaying author names, instances, or separate up/downvote counts gives users more control over their app experience. This way, those who prefer a clean interface can keep it that way, while those who value specific details can have them readily available.

    What are some science fiction novels that are relatively easier for non-native English readers?

    I am looking for scifi novels based on real scientific concepts, but with easy to follow plots and characters. My English level is proficient in a professional setting, and I have no problem reading academic, medical or scientific articles in English. I love watching documentaries on BBC, but I sometimes struggle watching dramas and sitcoms without subtitles. I am mainly trying to find audio books that I can listen to while driving. I am half way through listening to Carl Sagan's Contact on audio, it is great and not too difficult because I've already watched the movie many times.

    Neuroscientists have recorded the activity of a dying human brain and discovered rhythmic brain wave patterns around the time of death that are similar to those occurring during dreaming, memory recall, and meditation. Now, a study published to Frontiers brings new insight into a possible organizational role of the brain during death and suggests an explanation for vivid life recall in near-death experiences.
