while just looking at the scenario itself, that’s all pretty fair. but the company’s efforts to commoditize its labor directly brought that boring job into existence.

we’d only be able to represent bases for numbers with one digit though because what does base 15+1 mean? the 15 could be in any base higher than 5. the clearest way would probably be to just represent it with lines or something “base ||||||||||”

that’s fair, translating down is a good idea

i know about hexadecimal, but what if you need to refer to a base larger than 16? i’m not saying it isn’t possible to create symbols for every number, i’m saying if you have to describe your base with more than one digit, you encounter a problem of not knowing what base that multi-digit number is in.

what about numbers larger than 16?

what about numbers after 64? comment OP and i were trying to come up with a universal rule which we did in his response to my first comment

this is exactly what i was trying to get at

only types 1 and 2 are really recyclable and even those can only be recycled once or twice before the polymers are basically ruined and can’t be used again

i think it would depend on whether the genes from the mother or embryo build the shell.

that’s really interesting, didn’t know that about humans.

yeah for sure, all abstractions are just that: abstractions. and it’s fun to pick at their holes

Right-wing thugs who attacked anti-genocide protesters at UCLA appear to be same perps from violent anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-vaccine protests (www.theguardian.com)

… The demonstrations, part of a broader rightwing effort to sow unrest and undermine an alleged “liberal agenda” at US schools, have at times been marked by violence and drawn far-right participants from around the region, including people associated with local Proud Boy and Three Percenter militia chapters and...

sorry, it’s lyrics from the song Killing In The Name by Rage Against the Machine

some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses

not that i don’t think you could ask about them here, but there are a number of self host communities that you should check out, here are two of the bigger ones:

What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?

i learned about GNU Taler the other day from one of the OS communities

i looked into revolt and pretty concerned with these two stances of the project

We don’t think federation is beneficial to Revolt

ref

We have a variety of monetisation ideas lined up internally, with these, it is not my intention for us to paywall features and I find it unlikely we would ever do that considering it would contradict what we’re trying to achieve.

ref

like, to me it seems they want to get communities invested and then later monetize in ways those communities don’t yet know about?? idk that sounds extremely sus. especially when competing instances will fight against network effects with no federation.

niartenyaw,
@niartenyaw@midwest.social avatar

yeah, i agree that i don’t think federation of something like this would be through ActivityPub (matrix has its own). i guess it just feels unfortunate that if users want to access communities across multiple instances, users will have to have separate logins and identities for each one.

niartenyaw,
@niartenyaw@midwest.social avatar

that’s all very fair, i guess i was just hoping federation was at least on a long term roadmap

niartenyaw,
@niartenyaw@midwest.social avatar

hmm that sounds really interesting! if you end up remembering it and also remember to respond i’d love to know lol. yeah i hope if something good enough comes along two platforms will implement and then others will just follow suit.

Facebook could just create fake users that post ads as content

niartenyaw,
@niartenyaw@midwest.social avatar

the problem occurs when most of the content comes from Meta (they will likely have the vast majority of Fediverse users). especially if major communities exist on their instance. when meta decides to no longer support fedi integration, those in the fedi are forced to decide between staying with their communities by ditching the fedi and moving to threads or having many of their communities ripped away.

meta will do this at some point as a play to draw users to them, but we can decide if we want to be affected when that comes to pass.

from what i understand, the real world hybrid data is significantly worse than its WLTP test data. so much worse that it’s only a 25% improvement over petrol/diesel instead of the 75% improvement that would be expected given the WLTP.

just a reminder that IQ tests may have the goal of measuring intelligence, but that says nothing of their precision and accuracy

we also live in a world which has now known that premise and used it for 300 years, which makes it seem much more trivial than it was at the time.

I wish we would just keep adding E’s so long threads would be REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

which also happens to be the noise I make when I see them.
