The wright brothers flew almost 2 years before special relativity came out.

No you either don’t understand math in general or how to follow instructions.

Because as written, these are two wholly separate operations. So there’s no “order” to them except linearly.

And even if you wrote it out, you still couldn’t end up with 0 unless your card number is 0.

Most OSes will let you do it but 2025.01.01.png could have issues compared to 2025-01-01.png. Plus I think it’s a little clearer what the file type actually is.

Its just a little pedantic thing I’ve picked up after years of being a sysadmin. In my mind slashes (/) are reserved for directory delimitation and the period (.) is to separate the file name from the file type. I also have a little bit longer of a list of “reserved” characters for other reasons (%, #, and {`}`)

I like dashes because they work better than dots or slashes for file names.

Self hosted tandoor is free. And it’s open source.

Yeah but it’s not self-hosted which was a big thing for me.

I’ve been using Busuu and it’s really good. Its really aggressive about asking you to buy the premium version but it has all the functionality you need in the free version so you just gotta ignore it.

I have a self hosted recipe book (Tandoor) and it has a built in grocery list. Its really nice cause I can just click a button and it adds everything I need to my grocery list.

Everyone should be in a state of self-improvement. But sometimes you do need to take a step back and realize that you are orders of magnitude harder on yourself than anyone (that you would want to be around) will be.

You said your friends and family think you’re fun and enjoy being around you. Do you think your friends and family are actually shitty people just stringing you along for the fun of it? Do you trust them in other aspects?

I was talking to a friend about this one time and he cut me off and just said “that’s hurtful man. Why would you say that about me?” and that really gave me some insight. Because I was telling myself “my friends are all fake”, but what my friends here is “i dont believe you are there for me”.

A few years ago Walmart released a line of gaming computers and the ars technica article I saw was titled something like “Walmart released gaming computers and the prices aren’t awful”.

I copied and pasted the title verbatim and the post got downvoted a ton and all of the comments were trying to give me shit for the prices not actually being good (I feel like they were in line with normal prebuilts but oh well).

The Internet is a weird place. And to be honest, since I left reddit and have been on Lemmy I feel like people here vote with passion instead of based on the content of the post/comment a lot more than reddit. Its one of the only complaints I have so far.

And that’s good enough for me because that’s all I use it for lmao

I said it’s helpful to win an argument. Not 100% perfectly correct every single time lmfao

I actually did use “factoid” correctly here. According to the Cambridge dictionary the Definition is

an interesting piece of information

And that’s exactly what I use it for. I’m not talking about debating economic policy on national television (but tbf, the ai summary probably does a better job than the talking heads haha) but just stupid little things you “”“debate”“” with your friends.

Some examples Ive used it for recently.

“Were the cars in mad max real cars” and heres the response

Yes, the vehicles in the Mad Max films, especially Fury Road, are based on real, modified cars, rather than CGI or camera effects, with over 150 real cars used in the filming of Fury Road. Here’s a more detailed look

And then it had some details about some of the big cars. And then it linked to articles like this one or this one

Or “how much does a da Vinci (surgery robot) cost?”, and heres it’s answer:

The cost of a da Vinci surgical robot typically ranges from $1.5 million to $2.5 million.

And then had some details of different models of da Vinci machines. But it also linked to this source and this source

And those are just two of the recent searches I have in my search history. For stupid factoids like that it’s really great. For anything more nuanced or complicated than that it falls apart.

And yeah it has incorrect information sometimes. But you know what else gets incorrect information? Me when I drunkenly skim the first article that pops up while my friends drunkenly yell over each other. So id say it washes out.

google is perfectly serviceable

I would go even one step further. For dumb little things like a movie or song you can’t remember, or a factoid to win an argument amongst friends the AI summaries are really helpful.

Maybe. But everyone knows gravity pulls “down” and not “towards the center of the oblate spheroid” (nonsense word made up by “”“mathematicians”“” to make us look like fools)

Sure but you forgot one thing. Gravity.

Gravity pulls down, so when you go towards the North Pole you are actually getting further from gravity and that lesser force still pushes the entire effect into the positive. If you tried this in the south pole you would actually get older!

Damn that’s a shame. My team would also do this like once a month and the buffet we went to absolutely loved us. They would keep the party room open for us and prepare extra food the night before. Hell the owners came to some of the bigger meets too when they could.

Then someone drove a semi truck through the front of the building (nobody was hurt, it was overnight) and they never reopened :(

For some actual numbers, Valve had sold ~4 million steam decks since it was released over 3 years ago.

Nintendo has sold ~150 million switches to date. And they sold nearly 18 million of them in its first full year (2017).

October is when security patches for windows 10 will stop. Its when it goes full out of support. LTSB will continue getting security patches for a couple years though.

I’ve always viewed it as somewhere between “willfully oblivious”, “on board with the war”, and “his love of flight”.

Warner Von Braun built the V2 (among others) rocket for the Nazis, but he always claimed it was because of his love of space flight. And being German he was utilizing the resources he had available to him. Now, that was also while he was being shielded from the majority of questions by the US government so who knows what the real truth was. IMO I believe that he was driven by his desire to see space travel, and the rest of the “bad parts” (slave labour and building terror weapons for the Nazis) could be explained with just good ol fashion racism that was en vouge in the 30s-70s.
