  Yeah man, all of this except for the balls part. Shit’s a bit too much for me bro and I was there in the 90’s. You do you though, I guess. 🤷

  Running GrapheneOS on a Pixel is incredibly easy. You don’t need to be technical at all to get it set up. The instructions and the process are simple. Get on it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Developers all love to preen about code. They worry LLMs lower the “ceiling” for quality. Maybe. But they also raise the “floor”.

  And this is how the human element of this industry dies. This dev is the last of a dying breed, the senior dev. He’s also loading more bullets into the gun that’s pointed at the heart of the role that got him to where he is in the first place.

  You don’t get to become a junior dev if that role is occupied by AI and you don’t get to ever ascend to senior dev unless you start as a junior dev.

  For as analytical this person seems to be, he has a massive blindspot related to the path he himself treaded to get where he is. He’s pulling the ladder up behind him and condemning the people on the path behind to finding another way or giving up entirely.

  AI is brain rot. It’s actively and aggressively atrophying humanity’s ability to reason and problem solve.

  Honestly, I’ve always thought the best use case for AI is moderating NSFL content online. No one should have to see that horrific shit.

  Yeah, they were all stepping in phase with each other. Pretty cool physics going on there.

  Radicalized is a really good collection of shorter works. en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Radicalized_(Doctorow_book)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does noise from different nearby sources 'add up'? Or do the different sources cancel each other out? In any case, please provide a formula and an example⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Two people will be about 3 dB higher, four people would be 6, eight people would increase the level by 9 dB, sixteen would be 12 dB higher and so on.

  This is only the case if they’re making identical sounds in phase with each other. The real life scenario of people walking would not scale in this way as there are too many variables. No two footsteps are the same no matter how hard you try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI cheating surge pushes schools into chaos⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt a kid with tremors would be unable to get an exception made for them. I have tremors and in the mid 2000s my teachers were offering me test taking options like computers and other methods.

  I always refused because I was stubborn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’re misunderstanding the concept of priority.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds to me like you’re not considering that they likely have a massive list of priorities to address and a flashlight attachment is simply not even close to the top of the list.

  Nothing exists in a vacuum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨noyb sends Meta 'cease and desist' letter over AI training. European Class Action as potential next step⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does anyone onow if there is a NOYB equivalent in North America?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In Peru (and some islands in the Pacific as well IIRC), some regions have nine digit numbering plans. This may have been a call from one of those areas. More likely its spam.

  You’re self-filtering yourself from the community. Based on these interactions, I think you’re doing the lord’s work. Keep it up!👍

  You can click “Do not recommend channel” or “Not interested” on these recommendations to filter them out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it weird to juggle in the park?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  C’mon man. Social anxiety isn’t some niche mystery. Cut OP some slack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could wastewater plant simply heat up water past 500C to decompose all chemicals and output clean water?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not a scientist but wouldn’t the atmospheric pressure need to be insane to bring the boiling point of water to 500°C? Is that even possible?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  REAPER rules. I started on ProTools in 2010. Ditched it for Reaper in 2012 and never looked back. Best $60 I ever spent. I’ve gladly bought multiple licenses for my devices over the years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  White teeth are commonplace with people that post videos and images of themselves online on a daily basis. I would hesitate to refer to any videos with an influencer vibe as being reflective of the average in North America.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobara or Bazzite are your best Linux options for gaming. I’ve been on Nobara for over a year with nothing but good things to say about the distro and its community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hyper Light Breaker | Buried Below Update Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, that’s so sad. HLD is my favourite game of all time so I’m heartbroken to hear Heart Machine is struggling with Breaker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hyper Light Breaker | Buried Below Update Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Where did you hear about the issues? I’m curious to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can calf raise as much as I can squat, yet I have pretty small calves relative to my thighs/glutes. What's the deal?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Think of a see-saw at the playground. Put a 50lb kid on one end and a fully grown adult on the other. The adult obviously lifts the kid, right? Put the adult one inch from the center pivot point and guess what, the kid’s weight now lifts the adult.

  Think of how long your quads are in relation to the length of your femur. Pretty much equal. Now think of your calf’s length in relation to the length of your foot. Its almost twice as long. That’s almost twice the amount of leverage compared to your quads.

  This is the difference between the two and why your calves seem so much more capable for their size than your quads.

  Leverage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  whose house is it? If you have a kid, that kid is equally entitled to the space you’ve brought them into. That’s a burden you chose to bear when you chose to see a pregnancy to fruition.

  should two consenting aduts adapt…? Yes, especially in the presence of children. Even if we were talking about roommates instead of kids it should be self-evident that your roommate is not wanting to hear you having sex twice a day. Its a common courtesy to be considerate of others around you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This feels like malicious compliance to me. If I was your kid, I’d be pissed if you felt entitled to attempting to assert dominance like this.

  This is how your kids start resenting you as they grow up. Consider treating them like they’re a part of a family unit that respects boundaries instead of shoving a material possession their way to shut them up. Growing up feeling like an inconvenient burden fucks up a lot of kids in this world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a federated Strava alternative?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you have a bunch of dog walkers added to your feed? Just remove them and be more conscious of who you are adding in the future.

  I can’t say I share your experience at all on Strava. I find it to be minimal with the ads. They’re not intrusive at all IMO.

  Lemmy feels dead to you?

  Huh…

  It certainly feels very lively to me.

  Dumb fucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestions for a top down game that is genuinely different to all the others?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Try Cogmind, Caves of Qud or Dwarf Fortress maybe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people develop feelings for someone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To like someone means you enjoy their presence. If people enjoy it when you’re present you’re almost guaranteed to eventually have someone take interest in you.

  For people to enjoy your presence you need to be comfortable with yourself as an individual before anything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Honest question because I’m OOTL, but haven’t games been this price for a long time now and weren’t Switch games even more expensive than this?

  I’m a bit confused.
