Hi there, I'm not familiar in this space at all which is why I'm asking in this community to understand it better from a science perspective.

So the way I understand it they haven't created a 100% exact genetical copy of a dire wolf since they don't have a complete DNA sequence that's fully preserved and intact.

Apparently they made 20 edits to the Gray Wolf genes which I assume aren't all the edits needed for a fully genetically identical dire wolf.

So my question is if that means that the wolves they created are overall still more similar to a gray wolf when you could go back in time and compared them to actual dire wolves. Or did they actually make the core changes that are so significant that the wolves overall actually are more similar to actual dire wolves and therefore naturally fit into that ecosystem niche that gray wolves don't?

And even if they're more similar to actual dire wolves than gray wolves and naturally fit into that ecosystem niche I wonder if they would still have some perceivable differences. Like if we could travel back in time and compare them to the dire wolves created by evolution, is it likely that we would find any differences or are these only neglectable genetical differences that don't have any effects on any perceivable aspect in their nature such as behavior, appearance, cognition, capabilities etc. or would there still be small differences that would differ from the majority (individual differences neglected of course)?

Probably a dumb question but:

With the upcoming GTA 6 where people speculate it might only run at 30FPS, I was wondering why there isn't some setting on current gen consoles to turn on motion smoothing.

For example my 10 year old TV has a setting for motion smoothing that works perfectly fine even though it probably has less performance than someone's toaster.

It seems like this is being integrated in some instances for NVIDIA and AMD cards such as DLSS and Fluid Motion Frames which is compatible with some limited games.

But I wonder why can't this be a thing that is globally integrated in modern tech so that we don't have to play something under 60FPS anymore in 2025? I honestly couldn't play something in 30FPS since it's so straining and hard to see things properly.

I love Michael Jackson and his music and was wondering if there has ever been a release of his music on audio-only Blu-ray so that I can truly own the music in its ultimate highest quality on Blu-ray physical media with the advantages over CD such as higher res 24 bit audio, surround sound support and better durability/longevity.

I know you can burn Blu-rays yourself but I don’t have much experience with that and don’t really want to buy a burner, the disks etc. and put in all the effort, I preferably just wanna buy a single finished product.

Is there maybe a site that lists all the Audio Blu-rays ever released since this seems to be a very small niche that's hard to find in general? Cause so far I couldn’t find any Michael Jackson music release on Blu-ray.

I’m preferably looking for the album Dangerous. I know that the albums have 24 bit and Atmos releases, so the content is definitely there. Only question is if it exists on Blu-ray physical media. And if there is no official release, is there maybe any third party service that can do this?

I noticed when you delete a post or comment on Lemmy it still shows up on my account with the option to "undelete" it which fully restores it and makes it public again.

Does this mean you can't fully delete them and basically only "hide" them from the community but they will still stay on the server forever? Or is there any option to fully delete them or will that happen after some time?

This is quite the technical question and I doubt I’ll get an answer on this small community but I’ll try it anyways.

So I’m a very heavy YouTube user and comment multiple times pretty much every day for years. Over years I wondered why I haven’t received notifications when someone replied to my comments and only got notified when someone directly referred to my handle or sometimes when someone liked or a creator hearted my comment (which made my experience on YouTube very lonely since I never got anything back).

Now I figured out I disabled the specific notification setting responsible for comment activity called “Notify me about activity on my comments and posts on other channels” (I must’ve turned this off in the past prolly cause I got too many notifications) and after turning it on I randomly got notified about past comments from me that literally have thousands of likes and hundreds of valuable replies and interactions that I missed out on.

Now I’m wondering if there is any way I can get an overview over all the replies I ever received on my comments because I can’t go through every individual comment I ever posted since they’re way too many.

If there is no direct way maybe there is some script or some trick that can pull all the replies I ever got and maybe see my most liked comments to see all the interactions and comments I missed out on.

I bet there are many people who want to see all the comments they got on their own comments so an answer would be much appreciated.
