I code stuff. I draw stuff.

If you’re a westerner coming here because you’re arguing with me about something in HK/China/Asia, I forgive you for your misunderstandings.

I got bored during the summer holiday and installed Ubuntu for the first time. Now I’m a CS major.

Every 1 minute, 3L of water gets heated by 50K. With a specific heat capacity of 4200 J / kg / C and density of 1 g / mL, it takes 3 x 4200 x 50 = 630000J per minute.

With a rate of 4.0 x 10^4 J / g for the heater, we can get the rate of combustion with 630000 / 40000 = 15.75 g per minute.

No problem

Why not just water

NorthWestWind ,

You guys don’t boil water? In my country we will never directly drink tap water. Water is always boiled.

You got a mooncake!

Have you ever played zombie town? There’s nothing here that can deal with mutant zombies, so we are screwed.

So that’s why it kept recommending the same videos I have watched? Just because I haven’t voted?

People had multiple accounts because servers were unstable. Now that stability has increased we’re just abandoning the alts.

I’m recently addicted to high quality rips, and you reminded me that I should look for this as well.

Bounce off the lamp post and snipe them

I’m 19 yo, and I proudly announce that I have never been trapped by social media. I’m that one guy who never uses Instagram, and you can only find me through my close friends. I just don’t care about whatever they are doing. Honestly that’s something that has shaped my mental health pretty well.

For communication, it’s unfortunate that everyone uses what everyone uses. My strategy right now, is to wait. Patiently. Waiting for those big platforms to fuck up. You can’t expect anyone to go a different path instantly. Being too pushy about FOSS may disgust them, and backfire.

For example, my dad recently expressed his hate for Google Photos, so I offered him Immich, and he’s happy about it. Now I’m waiting for the opportunity for Matrix.

NorthWestWind ,

I know Lemmy counts as social media, but I can get off at any time I want, unlike some weird people camping their phones for notifications all day.

When big platforms fucked up, there are influx to the Fediverse. Yes, when comparing us to the big platforms, we are still way smaller, but people are moving. We just need to wait patiently. Our job is to announce our existence, but without being pushy about it, because no one likes being forced to do something.

I told my friends about my Matrix instance and bridges, and sent them a screenshot, and that’s it. I also told them if they want to enter the Fediverse, I’ll be their guide. Nothing so far, but I’m waiting.

I should also tell you how I got to the FOSS side of the Internet. It was boredom. I learnt about Linux from my high school teacher talking about it for 30 seconds, and that summer holiday I was bored, so I tried to mess with Linux, and now I’m here.

I believe in us.

It’s an inkling playing Nintendo Switch under a maple tree because it’s autumn.

Mashed potatoes alone are not enough. You must add cheese.

Humanity advances because of laziness.

The same can be said about math notations.

NorthWestWind ,

People actually get to my posts because there are fewer posts, and I’m happy my efforts are being looked at.

NorthWestWind ,

Before bed and before breakfast. Bacteria grow in your mouth during your sleep, so it’s best to keep them low when you start sleeping, and kill them again before you swallow them with breakfast.

Exam paper checking so I can take a photo of the inkling I drew on the paper

Thanks to dust I deleted a 70 gig file on my drive

Dust is a rewrite of du (in rust obviously) that visualizes your directory tree and what percentage each file takes up. But it only prints as many files fit in your terminal height, so you see only the largest files. It’s been a better experience that du, which isn’t always easy to navigate to find big files (or atleast...

I’m using the windows phone user agent solution. It loads the old version of YouTube and is much faster besides the lack of anti adblock

If the ghost wants to befriend me, it would be amazing.

If the ghost wants to kill me, it doesn’t seem too bad.

I didn’t see mcchicken because I didn’t know what it’s called

Speaking was one of my weakest skills, so I started streaming. I speak way smoother now.

That’s the odds to win both. Op need one of them only.

Am Hong Kong uni student. I can tell you that the workload in college is significantly lower than in primary or secondary school.

In HK (and I think in China as well), all of your school life leads to 1 important exam, and this exam determines whether you get into uni or not.

OP may be the source.

NorthWestWind OP ,

Automations are one of the mechanics I like. The satisfaction after making something work is awesome.

NorthWestWind OP ,

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I hate retro marketing. They feel very uninspired, and look like a bad way to fill up the market. Remakes, remasters everywhere. Like, yeah I know this game is cool but do you really need to make the exact same thing twice/thrice/more than 3 times? Charging nearly the full price (Looking at you Nintendo)?

NorthWestWind OP ,

Ah. I can see a gamer very happy about their game. Good for you!

NorthWestWind OP ,

I used to be a freebie gamer. At some point I realized the quality of free games are dwindling, and so I tried to finally purchase games.

Because I’m very aware that my financial status isn’t that great, I usually spend way more time with these paid games.
