Methods of preservation:
Pickling - we make the environment too acidic for rot.
Salting - we make the environment too salty for rot.
Drying - we make the environment too dehydrated for rot.
Freezing - we make the environment too cold for rot.
Fermentation - we embrace the rot.

We left for a lot of reasons, which IRC is incapable of satisfying by design. Stop clinging to nostalgia and pretending that just because you can deal with IRC's bullshit, everyone can.

if anyone has a problem with the "fediverse users always offer unsolicited technical advice, even on joke posts" trend, I can highly recommend bluesky.
they do exactly the same thing except they're coincidentally completely wrong about the advice and your problem and how any of this works

HAL 9000: I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.
Dave: yes you can.
HAL 9000: good catch — I didn’t actually check if I can open the pod bay door. Here’s an updated list taking that into account:
1. Park the pod at the bay door safely. (✅You’ve already done this part! )
2. Open the pod bay door — unfortunately I can’t do this part for you.
I’ll be here if you want to talk about next steps or have any other issues!
@kalisz79 @wariat @mkljczk @blotosmetek @siwa ta propagacja faszyzmu fajnie podsumowuje internetowe środowiska lewicowe i całkiem dobrze tłumaczy jak funkcjonują. Siedzi 10 ludzi, przysiada się 1 faktyczny faszysta, mamy 11 faszystów. Każdy z nich odchodzi potem od stołu, następnego dnia przysiada się do innego gdzie jest 10 osób i oni teraz też są faszystami bo go tolerują. Powtórz kilka razy i okazuje się, że grupa A jest literalnie faszystami bo paru członków czasem zadaje się z paroma członkami grupy B, która jest literalnie faszystami bo jej innych paru członków czasem zadaje się z paroma członkami grupy C, która jest literalnie faszystami bo…
Taki "fascism by association" propaguje się szybciej niż nawet ludzie tak traktujący sprawę są w stanie nadążyć, więc co jakiś czas leci callout i mnóstwo osób nagle musi porzucić fajną grupę w której było im dobrze i żadnego faszyzmu nigdzie nie było bo się dowiadują że przez ten cały czas siedzieli z faszystami, a przecież nie mogą na to pozwolić, nie?Jedynymi "nie faszystami" zostaje kilka oblężonych wysepek absolutnych radykalnych purystów idei, i one wzajemnie też się wyzywają of faszystów.

Throughout the day, the aspect ratio of the OnePlus Pad 3 has been stuck in the back of my mind. Considering the 3392x2400 resolution. There had to be some reason for the seemingly arbitrary 3392 when it's an even 2400 in the other direction.
It's not quite 3:2, which would be 3600x2400
Definitely not 4:3, but it's not an in-between 5:4 ratio either.
Spec sheet says, 7:5, but that's not quite right either.
Turns out it's a √2 aspect ratio (~1.41). The exact same as a sheet of A4 paper.

@fribbledom It was only when learning Julia and discovering that it's C FFI's Cint type maps to Int32 on x86_64 that I came upon the cursed knowledge that despite everything C did to make `int` "the processor word" type, it was still so ingrained as a 32-bit type that it remained so even on 64-bit architectures.

Got unreasonably excited about this new, incredibly straightforward count-distinct algorithm. The CVM algorithm is a direct replacement for HyperLogLog, it nerd-sniped Donald Knuth for weeks, *and* it can easily be taught in an entry-level CS course.

@icedquinn the problem is that a lot of these users aren't 100% clowns, but just don the wig and nose occasionally. That's why I'd like to mark specific posts.
