endofline , to til in TIL: Contrary to popular conception, non-monetary societies did not mainly rely on barter as a means of trade, but relied on gift economics and sometimes debt.

And you forgot: slavery. Sparta basically enslaved surrounding hellenic population ( so called hellots ). Many Athenian politicians were quite disgusted with the harsh conditions Spartans enforced on hellots. Basically they maintained “population control” by slaining hellots en masse when their population grew too much ( Spartans were somewhere around of 10-15% of their dominion )

Angry_Autist , to asklemmy in What are your favorite open-source games?

I still play Elona and several flavors of Angband.

Greatly improved by community contributions.

Iron_Lynx , to science_memes in a or b

If a and b are simply numbers or variables (ex. 1, 2π, x), either, maybe red.

If a or b is a function (ex. (x + y), (1/N), (z - r²)), then blue.

fubarx , to android in How come android headunits in a car boot up so fast despite being very under powered compared to phones these days ?

There has been a lot of work done in the unix universe to reduce boot times: e-consystems.com/…/Linux-Boot-Time-Optimization-T…

A lot of it has to do with deferring services not needed immediately till later. The same could be done for Android.

FrostyCaveman , to asklemmy in What Do You Use Your Personal Website For?

It’s a basic about me type thing with links to all my stuff and a contact form (which invokes my self hosted and homemade email sending API). It also has Prometheus metrics which I consume on my “global overview” dashboard (everything happening with all my stuff at once) so I know if somebody has visited. Pretty cosy.

lemmyvore , to gaming in What JRPG combat is your favorite?

I liked the puzzle battle style of games like Disgaea 2.

Not a big fan of the classic “let’s all stand face to face and take turns bashing each other” approach.

cashmaggot , to nostupidquestions in Is this normal for girls or just a extreme edge case? (Serious question)

Yo, I have to take a moment and shake you because I thought you were a cool tech dyke judging by your goofy ass name. But all things aside talk with your seemingly two partners? Or like, partner and actual friend? But also like, idk what open lines of communicaiton you have with kids or what even kids will listen to - or who (cause I think maybe it could also be a who thing in this situation) - you can still attempt to give them a talk. And I think most kids run around with cards from their parents nowadays from how I've seen it. Like, if you've got a phone you've probably got a card. But this is all just some assumptions.

But all tweets (this is a tweet right?) are fake af and people just trying to be shocking and cute and like maybe down the line they can use their audience to do different monetary things. I mean like most the shit on Reddit was fake, so I can't imagine most the stuff on TwituhX is real either. So unless you having a late night rib just like - talk with your kids. About the stuff they should hear at the ages you think they should hear them. Or get your wife to do what you've got to do. And if you've got two partners you're probably open af and can legit find a way to broach the subject. I believe in you! Or bribe one of their older cousins with cash to talk with them. Cause legit, if my one cousin told me anything about sex I would hands down believe them. Just figure out which cousin they admire and BLAM, you've got an in.

Gl, you got this. Try not to rot your brains too much on bullshit, cause it's okay in moderation but I think I've read it can be bad for your health =P!

PeroBasta , to nostupidquestions in What is the secret to making LED light bulbs last as long as the package says?

Important: never buy IKEA bulbs (lamps and all the aesthetic part OK, but not the light bulb itself)

I had dozens of those dying one by one in my apartment, I always substituted them with Philips bulbs and they never had issues

Th4tGuyII , to showerthoughts in Under the Third Geneva Convention a foreign POW has more fundamental rights than a US citizen in the USA
@Th4tGuyII@fedia.io avatar

Sounds great until you realise these rules, with respect to POWs, are broken so often that they're barely worth the paper they're written on.

MyNameIsRichard , to programmerhumor in Anyone here use assembly?
@MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml avatar

Only on the VIC20 and Atari STe. On the VIC20 you had to write the assembler, manually convert it to machine code and enter that into the computer. There was a cartridge with an assembler, debugger and an extra 3.5Kb memory for it but I never got one.

Read a handful of posts. Not one mention of Greggs, ‘spoons, the price of Freddos, or the correct colour of a cup of tea. But, more significantly, no obvious sarcasm and not one single OP got called a bit of a daft cunt.

Still subbed, tho’.

Servais OP ,

Welcome!

stoy , to nostupidquestions in How are you?

Doing ok I guess, main issue is being alone constantly, but since I have had almost a decade of living alone since I moved out from my parents and was quite lonely before that as well (my parents are lovely and caring, I have just never found anyone special, and have drifted apart from most of my friends).

Planning on getting into VR in september after the PS2VR PC adapter has been out for a month, and I have reviews to look at

My car needs it’s bumper replaced after a badger ran into me while I was driving. I can still drive it, no warning lights nor leaks what I can see…

This spring I had a holiday in Spain, got to walk El Caminito Del Rey and it was gorgeous, I will get back to Spain soon with work this time.

I need to replace my computer desk and remodel my living room, but first I need to move my computer, record player and more from the computer desk.

Need new monitors for my computer, my current monitor has terrible image retention issues.

AceFuzzLord , to asklemmy in What are your favorite open-source games?

It’s definitely a work-in-progress title, but I have really enjoyed SuperTux Advance (AGPL-3.0 according to their github page). It’s like SuperTux but with sliding, more playable characters, and more power ups. As of now it’s probably my favorite OS game at the moment. -Ace
