I don’t know, it looks photoshopped to me, sir

Locked in?

Unleash a spirit bomb inside every time. Like Cumehameha.

Is this Braxton’s cousin? 🫦

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

She hasn’t been seen since her surgery a few months ago. They palace recently released a pic of her, but AP and other photo publishers had to retract it because it was obviously manipulated. It appears they photoshopped in her face from a magazine photoshoot a few years ago.

I don’t usually follow this stuff, but it turns out that when a photo gets retracted it’s called a “kill notice” or a “photo kill”. I didn’t know that, so when I saw headlines saying that AP put out a kill notice on the royal family it got my attention lol

So you’re mad that he is taking a serious approach to your meme, but then you’re bringing up data.

So is this a joke we shouldn’t take seriously? Or should he be looking at the data?

That’s way too cool to be a Bitcoin miner

I mean, you don’t HAVE to do any of that stuff in Windows, it’s just helps a bit.

I’m sure there are plenty of windows horror stories. But almost every Windows computer I’ve had in the last decade, both custom and OEM, has worked pretty well out of the box. And almost every Ubuntu computer I’ve had over the last decade has had problems that weren’t trivial to fix.

I like Linux, but when people compare these problems like they’re the same just are missing the point.

Lol people who think this type of thing is a legally binding contract that supersedes their EULA.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

That too!

But on the plus side, it’s nice to learn those skills and have examples of them running to put on your resumé.

I recently started using a + in my email address to make use-specific aliases, so I can more easily filter content from them or see if they’re leaking my email.

I signed up for a rewards program in person the other day and the strange look I got:

Do you have an account with us?

Idk

I can look up your email

Ok, it’s [email protected]

I don’t see it, would you like to make an account?

Yes, but instead of that email, make it [email protected]

Uhhhhh… Ok…

Like “you don’t have an account but you have an email specifically for our business? Sus AF”

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

I really miss how windows phone allowed other chat services to plug in to it, so that you could have a single chat app for all your contacts, but open the individual apps for advanced features.

I think it’s reasonable to say it completes that pattern of basal numbers. Saying that it’s not positional is like saying that the base10 number 5555 isn’t positional - it’s just that all the digits happen to be the same.

Now base zero…

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

It is logarithmic size, it’s just the special case of log1. The implication being the higher the base, the more efficient the encoding.

Edit: 1 is supposed to be subscript, but it’s not showing properly in my app. Idk what it looks like for others

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Sorry “basal number” is something I just made up, I was trying to describe “numbers of a number system that uses a base”. I thought I could save myself some writing, but I got too cute with it lol.

To me, unary seems like just the special case. For all positional number systems, as the base approaches 1, the number of irrelevantly-positional numbers predictably increases until it reaches 100%. It fits a pattern. And in a more meta view, 1 is a pretty common “special” or “trivial” case, along with 0, and infinity. I think it’s a bit strange to say it doesn’t belong in the set.

I’m not quite at the point where I’m gonna read a math book for fun, but there are these little pieces of math that are fascinating.

Rethinking Moderation: A Call for Trust Level Systems in the Fediverse

The current state of moderation across various online communities, especially on platforms like Reddit, has been a topic of much debate and dissatisfaction. Users have voiced concerns over issues such as moderator rudeness, abuse, bias, and a failure to adhere to their own guidelines. Moreover, many communities suffer from a...

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

I think it’s a good idea, but we have to be careful about the effect of malicious instances pumping up their own user reputations and lowering reputations of other users, maliciously.

Ideally these instances would be defederated, but sometimes it’s just communities within an instance that it is problematic. There need to be solutions to this, as well as a way for the reputation system to retroactively change reputation upon defederation of an instance, or banning of a user.

Totally forgetting that it’s (in large part) grocery prices that determine the inflation rate. Like…

Look the grocery price adjusted price of groceries hasn’t gone up much!

Who takes a 6 minute shower, unless they’re in a drought?

I’m digging all this Canadian content, recently

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Delete this right now.

Not the post, the ice cream flavour.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

As a Canadian I can support ketchup on baked or fried potato snacks.

But I draw the line at ice cream.

A “brake check” in the context of road rage isn’t checking your own brake lights, it’s checking the brakes of the person following you.

You slam on your brakes, forcing them to slam on their brakes even harder, scaring and angering the trailing car.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Having never read it, it reminds me vaguely of Douglas Adams

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Exactly. [The] people-who-eat-people chew gum.

I think you have a couple typos though, autocorrect can be really frustrating, right?

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

The way OP highlighted the best fork of them all is absolutely wild and I’m never going to recover

But it becomes perfectly balanced when your holding food in it

Never

Are these people trying to scrape the food off their forks using their teeth instead of lips?!!

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Beautifully spaced prongs, sleek long handle, no random ridges or engraving to have dirt get caught in. Chef kiss, no notes.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

a) why are you putting your fork down? Dinner is a race.

b) does your fork have a huge jeweled pomel? I can’t image a fork so imbalanced that you accidently place it such that it falls off the plate lol.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

I kinda get it in concept. But I can’t imagine leaving enough of my fork hanging out past my plate that this would ever be a problem no matter how heavy-handled the fork.

Can I get a pic of how you rest your fork? 🤣
