And Im pretty sure there are also jellyfish that live in symbyosis with algae that they carry along with them which photosynthesize, creating sugars for the jellyfish.
- Comment on It's a matter of perspective 4 weeks ago:
I think the joke is that there’s indeed unequivocally just three, and that one of them still says four despite that fact, contradicting the readers expectations who normally for this format expects the middle thing to be something that changes with perspective (eg. 6 vs 9)
- Comment on Minetest breaks the chains of being a Minecraft clone with a new name — Luanti 5 weeks ago:
I recognize you and your profile picture from some quite popular minetest mods. :D I have a question regarding making content for Luanti:
I’ve been interested in maybe some day making a game for Luanti, but I don’t really like Lua (I for example imagine that undefined variables evaluating to
nilrather than directly throwing an error, identifiers by default being public, and absence of static checking of possibility of null dereference before runtime to be things that can cause quite some annoying bugs). Is there some popular X to Lua transpiler that you’ve heard people using? Something like what Typescript is to JS or Kotlin/Clojure/Scala to Java (not exactly the same thing since they all compile directly to jvm bytecode rather than java, but you get the point).I hope I’m not insulting you by asking such a question.

Let’s hope some day this bug gets fixed: github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/71929
I couldn’t run it because of that bug.

German has the term raubkopieren for piracy which translated literally means theft-copying. I kind of find that term funny because somehow it makes it sound even worse than just piracy, since with pirates we at least have the pop fiction image of the pirate, and because it has a paradoxical sound to it (“how can you steal something by copying?”).

The thrive community forums did it with the word belgium, inspired by the work of Douglas Adams
- Comment on How is Open Source developed paid? 2 months ago:
The f in foss is for free as in libre, not price. And I imagine it is used to avoid touching the topic of open source software vs libre software. So saying you can make money from one and not the other doesn’t make sense.

It can be found here for anyone wondering: loginzlib2vrak5zzpcocc3ouizykn6k5qecgj2tzlnab5wcb… and here: zlibrary24tuxziyiyfr7zd46ytefdqbqd2axkmxm4o5374pt…
I don’t have a clearnet link since the mirror I’ve been using appears to have been seized, but the onion link should be the most reliable way to access the z-library.

What do leaf blowers do that rakes don’t? I don’t remember the last time I saw or heard a leaf blower.
- Comment on Chinese startup launching RISC-V laptop for devs and engineers priced at around $300 6 months ago:
Due to its reduced instruction set; it uses less power in general
If that is true I don’t think it can be attributed to it being RISC
- Comment on BepiColombo Detects Oxygen and Carbon Ions in Magnetosphere of Venus 7 months ago:
If life is proven to exist on Venus, it would be really exciting. Besides the obvious reason to be excited there’s also my thought: If in this planetary system two planets out of
98 have life on it, then that would mean that life isn’t as rare as we conceived it to be. - Comment on Ain't no one around to hate in the basement. Just me and my jug. 7 months ago:
What does hatred for others here mean? Is it how much drinking the beverage defies social norms or is it how much alcohol the beverage contains?

I guess aeolic energy also doesn’t use steam (unless we count the air humidity), but still involves turning a turbine.

Watt is the amount of water flowing out at the end
Shouldn’t it instead be the sum of the kinetic energy of all water molecules that come out the other end per unit of time?
- Comment on This was the first result on Google 8 months ago:
I never got the pipe analogy. Since liquid water can’t be compressed, wouldn’t the amperes be directly proportional to the volts and to the size of the pipe, assuming there are no air bubbles? Also, supposedly resistance only reduces current, but when I think of hair in a pipe, the pressure after the obstruction would also be lower (because pressure is directly proportional to the amount of water that flows)

- Comment on Never-before-seen Linux malware gets installed using 1-day exploits 8 months ago:
These vpns seem to be quite a good target since at least the one my university uses is run as a setuid executable, so if there is a vulnerability in there, you can execute code as root that wasn’t intended to be executed as root.

As TonyTonyChopper this thread said, sometimes that obscure software is what you are required to use in your institution, or they don’t offer support for anything else.

but I’m paranoid it breaks my code accidentally
Automated tests and version control should prevent that from being a problem, I imagine.
- Comment on FLOSS communities right now 9 months ago:
I think I will try Gomuks, since I now also tried Fluffychat, but scrolling felt weird and on a touchpad had the tendency to swipe left on messages to reply instead of scrolling down and I was unable to resize or close the channel info and channel list, or its font size (there also appears to be no settings button). Maybe the CLI based clients will be more suited for me, since I also don’t mind using irssi for IRC (but it should be noted I also have no problems with graphical IRC clients like hexchat or others, which work perfectly fine on my machine).

Nope. Desktop.

Since we are on the topic of disliking Discord, what Matrix clients do you humans use? I tried both Element and Nheko (the latter of which isn’t electron based), and they both felt slow, clunky and unresponsive.
