we really need a proper beginner-friendly language that has no maths

i understand the appeal as a minigame, like it’s literally a minigame in Deep Rock Galactic, but the fact that people genuinely play it as its own game is… bro just play minesweeper

and this is why i get so tired of people saying it’s bad to have a big instance like mastodon.social, like bro do you fucking want the platform to be successful or not? it seems like people just want a small isolated place to circlejerk each other rather than something globally useful.

i have to wonder if banks actively don’t want us to use them

that was one example of where they are used lol

this is such a nonsense argument, people navigate email just fine despite every single platform sending emails from their own domain.

exposure to the weather helps a lot, means it’s been baked in the sun from time to time and detritivores have had a chance to clean it up a bit

i agree, it’s time to let the next generation take over, grandpa

wouldn’t you then just break it up into chunks of 72 bytes, hash them individually, and concatenate the hashes? And if that’s still too long, split the hash into 72 byte chunks and repeat until it’s short enough?

to a layman it’s probably best to just… not really think too deeply about this, there is layer upon layer of possible nuance and yet at the same time 99% of the time it’s as simple as “if the ‘thing.otherthing’ isn’t identical then they have absolutely nothing to do with each other”.

To really understand what’s going on you’ll need to dive into how computer networking functions and a bunch of other things, which i do highly encourage since it’s good to know, but the important thing here is that you’re talking about domain names, which i’m not going to try to explain further but rather recommend you look up on wikipedia and other places to learn more about.

like, during filming episodes? i can’t imagine that being true, the show was very low budget.

he’s still doing stuff and posts fairly regularly on youtube, but i don’t think he’s doing that same kind of content anymore.

this is why survivorman is the shit, he went out of his way to genuinely be alone and didn’t try to pretend that he wasn’t filming himself. Just a guy going out into the wilderness with some gear and a camera.

there’s yellow paint and an indent on the back of the car, in the path of the bollard, which looks quite real to me and feels like a lot of effort to go into for an internet post

edit: now that i think about it some more, and look closer, i’m gonna wager that they did really hit the bollard and maybe fucked up the car, but they then posed things to fake the bollard going through the car. It’s convenient how the first photo hides the base of the bollard and the area where it would pierce the car, and the second one could quite easily be two separate photos with the middle of the bollard erased to match the outline of the car’s rear.

a whole apple a day causes a buildup of cyanide, killing you early and thus creating more demand for coffins

every time they look at their food bowl, regardless of how full it is

keep the character creators, but only let the player use a randomizer button and a silliness slider.

yeah anything based on chromium is effectively a skin, and don’t really improve things that much

best you’ll get is ones that dig into the code and try to rip out as much of the tracking as possible but eeh, just use something based on firefox, or something completely separate if you’re fine with browsing via your terminal lmao

blessedly we just call batteries “batterier”, but the fun comes when you get into components where capacitors are “kondensatorer”, which even to natives just sounds like it’s supposed to get so cold that water condenses on it lmao
