I did it! I made an epicycle clock!
Check your loopy time here:

What's up with anglophones and their complete inability to use measurements that make sense? It's not just the US using a measurement system so inconventient its original inventors dropped it or somehow arriving at the decision that month/day/year is a good way to write dates, they even managed to screw up simple measurement of time on a 12-hour clock. I hope whoever officially decided that 11am > 12pm > 1pm > … > 11pm > 12am > 1am is the correct order was hanged, preferably also tortured beforehand.

This is also my experience on fedi every time you clowns spam with with whatever random chart you found on the internet
@thor and Scandinavia had a more collective culture since basically forever while America is a melting pot of religious crazies, former slaves and other immigrants from all over the world with nearly no common culture except for that of exploiting each other as much as possible which evolved naturally in such a messy society, being the best way to succeed.

"typing speed"? I prefer the term: "terminal velocity"

@robpike @yuvipanda All of those years of bit rot and dead code are catching up to us. It's the software version of the accumulation of space junk orbiting Earth.

Does anyone have any technology that works? I am becoming despondent over the state of things. So much technological progress and yet everything seems to be broken (or must be updated, which amounts to the same thing in user experience) all the time.
Sorry.
@thor celery is ~95% water. I can walk on celery, therefore I am ~95% Jesus.

I think it's really funny that Apple's HQ is a literal walled garden
@foone ah yes, the two problems. "It doesn't work, I have no idea why" and "It works, I have no idea why".

It’s kinda sad to see people think I’m ’bribed’ by Meta.. I have not signed anything, I did not attend anything from them nor did I accept anything but still the worst is assumed when I don’t agree on blocking a still in development project that we don’t even know the (domain)name from right away
I don’t have any love for Meta or any of such companies whatsoever, that’s why I’m putting all I have in these platforms and guard it with my life so don’t expect Meta to get a ‘free pass’ on anything
@thor @mjdxp AFAIK the difference is that a federation is a union under a common government like the US, Russia and partially EU, while a confederation is a union based on common pacts, which aren't all forced on all members. (Partially like the EU, where being members of the EU parlament, economical union, having Euro and being in Schengen are all different things and there are countries that do some but not the others.)

@jeder I love parcel lockers so much. Urbanists worldwide are writing essays about the last mile problem while this country with shitty urbanism solved it many years ago

I'm pretty sure these programmers were trying to hide information from the compiler.
when you find yourself doing this, you need to stop and rethink your life. go for a walk.
@Oozenet @mpjgregoire@mamot.fr @tveastman all pseudoscience claims to be supported by science, proving it generally turns out to be harder.
@nixCraft pretty sure the first case of a GPT model that was widely used was the one trained on 4chan data and able to write copypastas
@freemo or at some point of our evolution preferring less hairy mates had enough of an evolutionary advantage (sweating, endurance, compatibility with temperature and clothing changes, the like) for the preference to embed in our gene pool enough to be still active today. Or it might be a social adaptation due to the shaved people usually being richer and better off since they were the ones that had the time, resources and will to do it. There's a lot of potential explanations that don't even encroach on pedophilia.
