I don’t know the specifics, but there is such a thing as keyboard rollover. MOST KEYBOARDS—whoa, sorry. Most keyboards support up to 6 keys at once, but it might be that they’re still divided into sections with lower rollover numbers, such as the arrow keys and space. Some “gaming” keyboards support up to 25 though, so your best bet if this bothers you is just upgrading to a spiffier typer.

I do try.
Not very hard, but still.

There’s actually a neat reason for this! The way that simple keys work, like those in a calculator, is by connecting a circuit and letting a small amount of voltage through. This is usually fine because the keypad is broken up into different rollover zones, which is how multi-key input works. But if you find and press keys that are all in the same zone, their voltages add up and can actually overwhelm the little cpu in there. Really old calculators were really easy to break because designers never thought users would need to press keys like division, multiplication, subtract, add, square and square root all at once, which as you can imagine, caused a massive power spike.
Now, is any of this true? I have no idea dude, you’re calculator was probably fucking haunted or something. I’d have taken that thing to a seance with a ouija board immediately.

My favorite was MathAlly. I still have it through some built-in android backwards compatibility emulator, but once it goes, it goes. They haven’t been on the app store for years.

I also noticed that they were talking about sending arguments to a custom function? That’s like a day-one lesson if you already program. But this was something they couldn’t find in regular search?
Maybe I misunderstood something.

Just cant resist provoking hostility to feed that persecution complex, can you.
See, this is unhinged. You’ve been antagonizing them this entire time.
You’ve criticized them for bringing up rape, and yet you just can’t seem to leave them alone, can you? Weird.
Some poor sap has come in here just to say something like “McDonald’s shouldn’t run their coffee machine so god damn hot if it’s going to fuse labia together,” and you’ve come in to correct the record: “Hm. Well. Actually, the only safe way to handle hot coffee is not to buy one. I’m very smart.” Cool. Thanks, dude. I don’t know what that has to do with anything, but I’m glad the abstinence-only sex ed seems to be working for you.

But if said old men decide to comment something like, “would love to squirtle on those jigglypuffs” on the revealing image, we’re suddenly entering nonconsensual territory.

That’s right! Exactly.
For instance, this is public, and if a bunch of random weirdos came in here and started saying things like “whoa, who let the monkey out of his cage?” or “I’m about to put something on his public platform = 1,000 unsolicited dicks,” there’s absolutely nothing you, or I, can do about that—and it would be wrong to do anything, of course!
You’re cool, man, you get it.

It isn’t coffee. That’s about a -31 on the “what kind of coffee is this” scale.

Arguing why it’s bad for society for machines to mechanise the production of works inspired by others is more to the point.
I agree, but the fact that shills for this technology are also wrong about it is at least interesting.
Rhetorically speaking, I don’t know if that’s useless.
Computers think the same way boats swim. Arguing about the difference between hands and propellers misses the point that you don’t want a shrimp boat in your swimming pool. I don’t care why they’re different, or that it technically did or didn’t violate the “free swim” policy, I care that it ruins the whole thing for the people it exists for in the first place.
I do like this point a lot.
If they can find a way to do and use the cool stuff without making things worse, they should focus on that.
I do miss when the likes of cleverbot was just a fun novelty on the Internet.

It’s not because what they’re against is the consolidation of power.
If the principle “information is free” can lead to systems where information is not free, then that’s not really desirable, is it.
If free information to inspire more creative works can lead to systems with less creative works, then that’s not really desirable, is it.

Oh, I’m well aware.
I wrote up a long reply to someone who essentially said “emojis don’t add meaning” about how this willful, and I do mean willful, ignorance about a medium of communication is kind of like rejecting the invention of technicolor film for being a frivolous gimmick. It’s a silly position to have, and I might even argue anti-intellectual.
Buuut I didn’t want to seem like I was picking on the poor guy, so I didn’t send, haha.

Cum is produced for the orgasm, so the trick to a big load is to have like seven simultaneous orgasms.
