“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.

I’m not gonna question it, and just be happy it works for now 😄

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 2 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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.
- Comment on Forbidden Tech 4 weeks ago:
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.

In addition to what others have said, you can search for “thinn blue line” for more info on it. Basically meant to be on support of the kind of cops that killed George Floyed.

- Comment on All four major web browsers are about to lose 80% of their funding | by Dan Fabulich | Apr, 2025 1 month ago:
Monopolies are bad enough by themselves. But with google they own such a large part of the day to day web browsing experience it’s amazing it’s not worse than it already is.
- YouTube has documented cases of effectively throttling non-chrome browsers.
- There is a lot of juicy user behaviour data that can be gathered directly from chrome to support Google’s AD network.
- Google bank roll a lot of the web technologies that run websites, giving chrome an edge to implement new tech earlier and better than the competition.
- They also own Android, and unlike windows, they don’t even give you a pop up in what browser you want to use.
- They also don’t only control Chrome, but they are giving out the chromium (the web engine under the hood). So now they effectively control Brave, Edge, Opera, and any other browser that runs on chromium. And wouldn’t you know it, they heavily nerfed ad blockers capabilities in chromium to increase Googles ad revenue.
- Comment on Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows" 1 month ago:
Yeah, but as a swede myself I definitely know it’s a no no word especially as by that time other YouTube’s already had their own n-word controversies.
- Comment on Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows" 1 month ago:
He’s had some controversial things. In 2017 he said the n-word while live streaming a game. The other big one I know of is he made a video where he showed he has paid one of those fiverr groups of Indian children to hold up a sign that said “death to all Jews”. Pewdiepie didn’t think they would actually do it.
They are really not great situations, and the second one I mentioned he should have realised was a bad idea and not done at all. Back in that 2017 era he positioned himself as an edgier meme YouTube, but he has since apologized and vastly changed his content, and i personally believe he’s a very changed person from a decade ago. But the stigma has stuck around.
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 2 months ago:
I agree. And luckily for Lemmy and all other FOSS projects the worst that can happen is a fork of the project is created with a potentially fractured community.
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 2 months ago:
But that’s exactly what I said in the beginning. The worst that can happen is the original creators take the project in an undesired direction so a fork is created.
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 2 months ago:
I guess the closest I know of is Maps.me and Organic Maps? Maps.me was open source, but got purchased and enshittified, so Organic Maps was forked from it. And now there is some drama with the Organic Maps shareholders/co-founders, so unless that is (or has it already been?) sorted out we’re likely to see another fork of it.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the main dev(s) members of lemmy.ml? So I can certainly see how differing political views could skew the development of the main branch of Lemmy.
