Unfortunately this is the better of the two main parties. This isn’t republicans winning because dems didn’t vote. Labour won, and this still went through. The UK government as a whole has been on an anti porn brigade for decades. I can’t wait for the day labour and the Tories just die off.
- Comment on Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US 4 days ago:
The Nazi gold is still very much a thing. And the descendants of Jewish people who died in concentration camps are often unsuccessful in reclaiming any wealth that was stored in Swiss banks, because they don’t have death certificates and what not. Switzerland is incredibly stubborn and selfish when it comes to anything that would tarnish their neutral stance in banking and politics.
- Comment on Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits 1 week ago:
I believe if the UK finds a site that doesn’t comply with the law, they will block it from their side of things. I haven’t read anything about websites needing to be proactive to block the UK if they don’t plan to comply.
- Comment on Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits 1 week ago:
To be clear, this is a UK law now applied to any website that serves UK citizens. Anything that hosts adult content requires UK citizens to provide some form of age verification. Like a photo (for AI age estimation), credit card, utility bills, and so on. The government is dumb, and I guess it’s time to just sit on VPNs 24/7 now.

To be fair, I struggled with the UK signs when I moved here from Sweden. Big yellow quite distinct, to smaller ones that pop less from the surroundings. Not an excuse as such, but I find it understandable.

I know it’s not a rule, hence why I put it in quotation marks. I noted in another comment that, yes, the proper way is to group it as 1+(-2)+3 and you can do it in any order. What I meant with ““rule”” is the meme questions pray on people not understanding/remembering what the actual rules are or why “left to right” conventions exist.
- Comment on Since we're doing magic eyes now... 1 week ago:
I was gonna tell you it was a meme and they don’t actually work. This being in science meme I thought they might actually be stereographic images, but it’s from so far away you wouldn’t be able to discern any 3D-ness. But I was wrong the height is exaggerated. For me the walleyed version worked for me, I just had to zoom in on one image and hold my phone quite far away.
- Comment on Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement 2 weeks ago:
I read it the same way you did. If you want to terminate the EULA, then they request you remove your copies of the game. In that snippet it says nothing about them arbitrary demand you delete all your copies.

If you love the Chinese low quality drop shipped items on Amazon, and wish that was the only thing they stocked, then Temu is great!

“A common mistake is to think division is prioritised above multiplication”
That is what I said. I said it’s a mistake to think one of them has a precedence over the other. You’re arguing the same point I’m making?

Most recommended cameras are from China unfortunately. While I would prefer to not support them economically, they seem fine security wise.

No Hikvision from Amazon, good shout as I was looking at some of them there.

Oh, that might prove a bit difficult on a Linux machine. I guess I’ll have to borrow my room mates computer :P

Thanks for the shout about Frigate’s documentation. There’s a lot of good information on there!

It’s not because he did anything wrong in wow that people are upset/memeing about, it’s because he’s unable to say “I’m sorry, I could have done better” without including any buts or “the others also messed up”. It has just exposed him as an incredibly self obsessed person.

That’s the point. You get all the videos, but with a lot less crud.
- Comment on Advice on moving my Spotify library to Navidrome 1 month ago:
I’ve used Zotify. It downloads from Spotify directly in .ogg format. It fails a bit here and there, so requires you to watch that everything actually downloaded, but it beats any random YouTube quality video other programs would find otherwise.

I’ve never done it, but I wonder if turning on the rear fog lights would work. You’re not braking, but they might think you are. I don’t know what the legality of that would be

100% with you. “Left to right” as far as I can tell only exists to make otherwise “unsolvable” problems a kind of official solution. I personally feel like it is a bodge, and I would rather the correct solution for such a problem to be undefined.
- Comment on A fake Facebook event disguised as a math problem has been one of its top posts for 6 months 1 month ago:
I fully agree that if it comes down to “left to right” the problem really needs to be rewritten to be more clear. But I’ve just shown why that “rule” is a common part of these meme problems because it is so weird and quite esoteric.

Except it does matter. I left some examples for another post with multiplication and division, I’ll give you some addition and subtraction to see order matter with those operations as well.
Let’s take:
1 + 2 - 3 + 4Addition first:
(1 + 2) - (3 + 4)
3 - 7 = -4Subtraction first:
1 + (2 - 3) + 4
1 + (-1) + 4 = 4Right to left:
1 + (2 - (3 + 4))
1 + (2 - 7)
1 + (-5) = -4Left to right:
((1 + 2) - 3) + 4 (3 - 3) + 4 = 4 - Comment on A fake Facebook event disguised as a math problem has been one of its top posts for 6 months 1 month ago:
So let’s try out some different prioritization systems.
Left to right:
(((6 * 4) / 2) * 3) / 9
((24 / 2) * 3) / 9
(12 * 3) / 9
36 / 9 = 4Right to left:
6 * (4 / (2 * (3 / 9)))
6 * (4 / (2 * 0.333…))
6 * (4 / 0.666…)
6 * 6 = 36Multiplication first:
(6 * 4) / (2 * 3) / 9
24 / 6 / 9
Here the path divides again, we can do the left division or right division first.
Left first:
(24 / 6) / 9
4 / 9 = 0.444… Right side first:
24 / (6 / 9)
24 / 0.666… = 36And finally division first:
6 * (4 / 2) * (3 / 9)
6 * 2 * 0.333…
12 * 0.333… = 4It’s ambiguous which one of these is correct. Hence the best method we have for “correct” is left to right.
- Comment on A fake Facebook event disguised as a math problem has been one of its top posts for 6 months 1 month ago:
The issue normally with these “trick” questions is the ambiguous nature of that division sign (not so much a problem here) or people not knowing to just go left to right when all operators are of the same priority. A common mistake is to think division is prioritised above multiplication, when it actually has the same priority. Someone should have included some parenthesis in PEDMAS aka. PE(DM)(AS) 😄
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 1 month ago:
Denuvo will revoke your licence to play a game if it thinks you’ve installed the game on computers with different hardware. Issue is it gets confused by changing the proton version that runs the game, thinking it’s a new install on a new computer, and so quickly bans you from playing the game.

Or Linux 😄 I really liked Game Pass though. Played some great games in there I would either have completely missed or have had to wait years for them to be discounted.

I will just regurgitate what I’ve heard. I think they are used in case power goes out and you have a generator. You need to disconnect from the power grid first, but it should then allow you to power tour house with the generator. It sounds more like a US thing.
