Me, in my ivory tower: Man, bandages as an art style really seems to be trendy amongst the wastelanders. I wonder why?

tetris11 , 1 day ago (edited 1 day ago)

I really thought that the internet would bring the 1st world and 3rd world together: e.g. I’d be able to videocall a farmer in India.

Instead our attention has been focused “upwards” towards a small minority of people, very few who interact with their followers meaningfully.

Apps that have been powering the gig economy (ridesharing, workrabbit, renting apps) have largely helped employers and landlords coordinate their efforts, and not helped the working class negotiate better conditions.

I’m not sure if optimism is warranted tbh

oh, I figured it was just the ideal binding material for broken parts (e.g. limbs, rifle butts) whilst providing comfort and stretch/tightness control.

The base tarball between Debian and Arch (locked to the same glibc) differ only very slightly in software composition stratified mostly by filesystem organization. One could actually make the case then, that the package manager is what differentiates the OS – in which case, Arch’s source code could be conflated to being pacman’s source code

You’re almost there, but not quite. Web 3.0 utilizes the latest in dismount tech, effectively smartenizing the turnrolls of the planet’s greatest minds, and capsizing the status point of the giant elf companies that squeeze the enrichment of the NAaS pools that all savvy consumers would thrift towards. By incentivizing the output of polarific content, the margins in the ACK requests are distributed into reproducible hedge mazes that are tanked to the fill with brill chum.

Same for me and gaming. Thing is, I love games and always will, but I just don’t have time in my day for it. Solution? Wait a year, read reviews of 1 or 2 best games of the year and then binge them 3 days straight without sleep and trainers (to level past the grindy aspects) until I’m sick of them.

Same with binge TV for me. Its just easier on my schedule if I can dedicate a one off time to it. It keeps me up to date with social trends, whilst not being a dominating factor in my life.

Live TV is great. I have a live feed of a stork nest in the background, and you get to see it feed its chicks, teach them to fly, and murder a few depending on mood.

tetris11 , 6 days ago

You would like pubs.

tetris11 , 6 days ago

Watching TV with someone with your head in their lap. Someone to laugh at your bad jokes. Someone to steal your arm at night and use you as an extra blanket. Making breakfast in bed, travelling and bickering over minor things, watching a sunset together.

I miss you Eli

oh I know, I was just cheekily misconstruing your comment

tetris11 , 6 days ago

they don’t write the stories though, so can’t control the pronouns. I do appreciate their effort to try make sense of the news with an alignment reading, but I agree with you that it encourages centrism in the long run

tetris11 , 6 days ago

I guess they level a political narrative over that of social narratives. As someone who’s not LGBT (but obviously will always vote for the rights of others), it’s the political one I care about most to read, and I’m guessing a majority of their readers too.

tetris11 , 5 days ago

Anything, if you examine it, is just a social construct. The news sometimes wield these constructs to create false narratives to constrict our views/rights, but more often than not, the news is simply trying to convey a set of events from its perspective using a shared grammar that the majority of its audience will understand.

We cant push the frontier without having a base.

Try switch to software rendering. That, or weep, for if VLC fails you then nothing in this world will ever be right again.

It flawlessly plays me 1080p videos on my 8 year old smart phone with a 480p screen. It is the most performative app I have.

I’m just imagining a Usual Suspects type reveal where JarJar straightens his slouch, combs back his ears, looks Obi-Wan dead in the eye, and says: “You’re in quite the pickle now, old chap.”

There’s an addendum to the theory where essentially you keep walking through worlds forever, quantum erasure style, never dying from your perspective, merely getting older and older.

Thing is, if this was actually true, we would see old people everywhere (as observers of their non-erasure).

Don’t you mean your Donkey Qong?

It would mean then that of all the infinite worlds you walk through, the Simon that you meet is never the main character Simon.

It’s possible, given the nature of infinite infinites, and assuming a full hierarchy of universes… I just find it unlikely.

Surely two main characters will walk each other at some point, and given an infinite lifespan, surely one of them is bound to be alarmingly old.

1. Everyone tosses three coins, and posts it in the chat
   • If a player tosses three of the same, they have to toss again.
2. Everyone chooses the mode coin from their neighbour, and adds it to their stack
3. Each player, with 3+N coins, picks the mode coin in their own collection.
   • Ideally: the player’s own bias, is outweighed by the other player’s biases.
4. The final coin is the mode of all players coins.

spoilerfrom numpy import median from pprint import pprint players = {“p1” : [1,0,1], ## playing fair “p2” : [0,0,1], ## cheating “p3” : [1,1,0], ## cheating “p4” : [1,1,0], ## cheating “p5” : [0,0,1]} ## playing fair print(“Initial rolls:”) pprint(players) get_mode_coin = lambda x: int(median(x)) get_all_mode_coins = lambda x: [get_mode_coin(y) for y in x] for play in players: ## Players add the mode coin from their neigbours players[play] = players[play] + get_all_mode_coins(players.values()) print(“First picks:”) pprint(players) for play in players: ## Players collapse their collections to mode players[play] = [get_mode_coin(players[play])] print(“Last modes:”, players) print(“Final choice:”, get_mode_coin([x for x in players.values()]))

Which as you can see, is no better than simply picking the median coin from the initial rolls. I thank you for wasting your time.

tetris11 , 19 days ago

Second attempt that factors in cheating.

spoilerfrom numpy import median from random import choice from pprint import pprint # Functions get_mode_coin = lambda x: int(median(x)) def pick(player, wants): for neighbor in players: if player != neighbor: neighbor_purse = players[neighbor][“purse”] if wants: if wants in neighbor_purse: # Cheat players[play][“purse”] = players[play][“purse”] + [wants] continue players[play][“purse”] = players[play][“purse”] + [choice(neighbor_purse)] # Main players = {“p1” : {“purse”: [1,0,1], “wants”: False}, ## playing fair “p2” : {“purse”: [0,0,1], “wants”: 0}, ## cheating “p3” : {“purse”: [1,1,0], “wants”: 1}, ## cheating “p4” : {“purse”: [1,1,0], “wants”: 0}, ## cheating “p5” : {“purse”: [0,0,1], “wants”: False}} ## playing fair for play in players: ## Players pick a desired coin from each of their neighbours pick(play, players[play][“wants”]) print(“First picks:”) pprint(players) for play in players: ## Players collapse their collections to mode players[play] = [get_mode_coin(players[play][“purse”])] print(“Last modes:”, players) print(“Final choice:”, get_mode_coin([x for x in players.values()]))

So, my method doesn’t work

On Linux, using AwesomeWM bindings:

• Caps+E, pull up emacs
• Caps+D, pull up IDE
• Caps+Q, pull up browser (repeated calls pull up different windows)
• Caps+Y, pull up terminal
• Caps+Down, split the last two called windows side by side
• Caps+Down, undo the split
• Caps+Up, maximize the current window

I have many more bindings, but these are the main ones and probably the only one’s I will ever need

If I need to do something concurrently I will split my focus between two tasks and no more.

If I need to edit a UI with code, I do Caps+E, do my edit, then Caps+D and refresh the UI.

I’m literally a finger away from everything, and my head does not need to move from center.

tetris11 , 25 days ago

I guess I can see for more UI oriented stuff how it can be useful to have on persistent graphic window

tetris11 , 24 days ago

Alt-tab was my very last use-case because I literally have bindings to pull up my main programs.

As someone who has gone from tiling(i3), to floating (stump), to tiling again (i3/sway), and finally back to floating (awesome) - I can say floating wins in terms of predictability. You press a button to focus on your desired window and your entire desktop does not need to convulse to accommodate for it.

Floating window managers win on speed and predictability, and I’m wondering now if this is causing the rift in single/multi monitors in this discussion chain.

tetris11 , 24 days ago

Thank you! It’s not often that users on Lemmy reply with such openness and honesty, instead of hiding behind the skirt of sarcasm

tetris11 , 24 days ago

Ah I see what you mean by tiling. Still, such a setup feels… excessive, no? I can completely understand that you literally never need to pull up anything since it’s all just there, but I dunno (I’m reaching here) doesn’t your machine get hot from all the displays and forcing all screens to do constant screen updates?

It just seems unneccesary to me (like I said, I’m judgemental on this front). When you have to travel, you can’t take all that with you – so working on a laptop at the airport must be incredibly frustrating if you’re used to things just being there, no?

Did you seriously set up awesome as a floating window manager?

Haha, yes, the other layouts are wasted on me. Ideally a dwm desktop would suit me fine, but I enjoy the Lua extensibility.

tetris11 , 24 days ago

Cos. Superiority complex. No true hacker should need more than a harddrive and a needle to flip bits to do what they need to do in a pinch

tetris11 , 21 days ago

Well it sounds like your desktop is pretty scalable - no matter how many monitors - so that’s pretty good.

And hah yeah, it might be worth investing in a badge that reads “Hi, I’m an IT specialist, this all normal” and pinning it on your shirt before you enter customs

My ex’s family were pissed when I didn’t take her to see Buckingham Palace. There is NOTHING there to see. They make it as boring a possible on purpose. It’s on a fucking roundabout for cry sake, you’d see more driving past.
