Why is this on shitpost? I think it’s a perfectly valid hobby and it should be celebrated

Aerial pic of my friend running archlinux in my company where everyone is using W11

Left side: Black mirror S01E02 “fifteen million merits” . A guy tries to “break the system” but this backfires and his critic that was supposed to change people’s minds is absorbed by it and turned into an entertainment product. The upper-left image shows the moment in the episode where he criticizes the system threatening to kill himself while the bottom one shows the final image of the episode where he how lives in an expensive suite

Right side: “Being ugly : My Experience” A youtube video of a guy explaining how his unattractiveness has biased his life and brought unhappiness upon him. A reason why this became viral, besides the obvious connection by many due to the topic was that a girl commented that she found the guy of the video very cute and they actually became a couple

The meme: It compares both cases implying that the guy on the right was breaking the system but that his cause was “silenced” by providing him a girlfriend and turning him into a channel that lectures people on having hope about the prospect of finding a suitable partner

I have memories of literally asking this to my dad when I was a child and he telling me that they would never ever make more star wars movies

The closest to this I can remember rn was the movie oblivion, where humans used masks to distort their voice? Not sure about the logic behind that, pretty sweet visuals tho, the UI design was sick

Eehrm, acktually, the tweet is wrong 🤓

You can always be getting a result above average in a series of numbers as long as the nth number is significantly greater than the previous ones. For example, f(x) = x^2 would always be above average for every next number

The teaser itself is some generic terrain with procedural grass anyone could do in blender in 3h

But what about using a gun to kill someone?

That’s actually a good point I had never considered! In a way you could consider that “negative numbers are imaginary as well”

… oh…

Should I delete this post? Hahah

This was one of the points of contention with the quantum revolution of the beginning of the 1900’s, schrödinger came up with the equation, which fitted like a glove for a lot of scenarios, but it had an imaginary component, which baffled a lot of people since it could imply reality uses such numbers at a fundamental level

We owe “quatties” to hamilton, but there is a generalization of the process in case you’re curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayley–Dickson_construction

Fucking pathethic, just admit you’re all wrong, they even made a bullshit-number-generator to keep making up new stupid-useless-made-up-numbers that serve no purpose at all in any discipline of science, it’s disgusting

Even if we all disagree with him politically, what, is anybody going to form the lemmy repo on GH and make a better version?

I had the most horrible experience trying to install it on an SSD, I’ll ramble about it in some sub-lemmy to vent out 😭

I guess it’s even worse to know someone went to the bathroom to pee but to only hear the sink

I short of have a theory with this. There’s this belief that “netflix killed piracy” because they provided an actual service with a fair price and the commodity that people wanted to watch shows. And that later on, it got enshittified. But I kinda think that, collaterally, a very important factor that explains people not even knowing how to download a torrent or having 0 critical mind when it comes to the other companies abusing their power has been the surge of smartphones

They were designed to have idiot-proof protection, but more and more they distanced newer generations from having a minimal technical background on how to use computers, which then leads to a more ignorant society incapable of saying no to such companies

I’m not saying this has been the main factor but I have my suspicions to believe it might be related

The comic strip sounds like someone made a plugin to export obsidian vaults to .pptx

Hey asheliigymne!! Long time no see

Wait, I though lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml were about machine learning and gradient stuff
