The text is only fucked the the way that The Onion sticks are fucked: this is only labeled satire because of the tone of the article. The content is as true as “real” news.
The actual “fucked” content is that the author was correct, and that the wealthy benefit from hunger and the threat of starvation to maintain access to abundant cheap labour.
To add to what the other poster said:
I’m not an expert, but my understanding is that noise cancellation works by inverting sounds waves to deaden the sound. So, like, if you add sin(x) and –sin(x) you get 0.
This system is actively adding inverted sound waves to cancel most sounds. What makes this system unique is that it samples the voice and uses the unique “voice print” to selectively not invert the sound waves from the targeted voice.
Or that’s what I’m getting from reading this, as a layman.
It’s missing filling the start bat with a massive Copilot box and weather/news widget. Or maybe missed an opportunity to make Clippy the AI assistant.
I love-hate it.
I think you nailed the confusion in this meme.
To simplify: it’s confusing that ½ = 0.5, but 1/2 ≠ 1/0.5
My level of research was to come to the comments hoping someone had explained the weird numbering jump already.
I watched most of this video (in the background) the other day. I have a technical background, but I’ve never made a “real” game. It looks like a really good tutorial for newbies to making games.
I look forward to seeing the later videos!
Also, I found it an odd coincidence that he chose the exact knight sprite I used for a Scratch tile-based-game tutorial project for a lesson a few years ago. CC0 assets are awesome.
To add to the other suggestion, you could set your default ringtone to silence, then set a custom ringtone for “priority contacts” so they can actually ring you.
Yeah, this is where I’m at. O365, Teams, OneDrive, Azure, evening.
Except that my “personal” device is my work device. (I get a stipend to maintain my own tech.)
My Steam Deck runs Linux, at least?
I read it “THERE’S PLANET NOB”. Like, a dick planet.
Ninite is pretty great, too.
Whoever is the subject of the verb “did”. Whoever did something.
Whomever is an object, so whoever did something to whomever.
In other words, “whoever” does things; “whomever” has things done to them.
Nice, thanks! 2019 should be good enough; the guides I was looking at were suggesting much older versions for WINE compatibility.
I just need to look into OneDrive, now.
I wonder if there’s a debloated version of Windows 11 that removes the TPM requirement…
Regardless, I’m this | | close to switching to Linux; I just need to make sure I can get OneDrive and full MS Office running in Linux reliably, since I need both for work. The Steam Deck has convinced me that I don’t need Windows anymore for gaming, so it’s only work holding me back. (Work pays me a stipend to maintain my own work computer hardware, so I do work on “my” machine.)
Edit: Looks like it’s actually pretty easy to do.
I’m really liking Logseq. I started on it instead of Obsidian since Logseq is FOSS. I understand it’s not too hard to switch over since they both use markdown files, granted some scripts need to be run to convert markdown differences between the two.
Logseq’s business model is to charge $5/mo for syncing on their (fully encrypted with a private key) server, but you can use a FOSS syncing solution (or a property one) if you prefer. I pay to support the project and to simplify sync on work devices I don’t have administrator rights on (so most other sync solutions wouldn’t work well.)
Beehaw defederating with the biggest open signups Lemmy instance has definitely kept it a lot nicer. There isn’t as much content, but it’s also a lot less toxic.
Nice. I should get that. I barely edit videos, but it’s almost always just simple cutting. Not losing quality and increasing file size to reencoding would be great.
It’s not WYSIWYG, though, it uses markdown (like Lemmy/Reddit). I prefer markdown since I don’t want to fiddle with UI buttons while typing, but it’s not what OP is asking for.
OP, why do you want WYSIWYG (on mobile)? I could see it, maybe, on desktop, but a note taking app should be focused on efficient input, imho, so markdown just makes more sense to me. Triple-# for an h3 is way faster than navigating to a Style menu and clicking Heading 3 in a UI dropdown (or whatever).
Regardless, I like Logseq so much that it’s the first open source project I regularly contribute to financially. It’s a game changer for me and managing my ADHD across 6 devices. (Lots of different work and personal machines/devices).
Not parent poster, but I downloaded it and sent it to my wife, lol. We both thought it was depressingly true; funny in a dark comedy way.
So, I enjoyed it. Not sure if that makes it a “good meme” or not, particularly as the image doesn’t really add anything. Maybe the GOP or Fox News logo would be better? idk
Like what arguments? I thought most atheist arguments essentially boil down to the burden of proof and falsifiability, or they take an anthropological approach to the origins of religion. Essentially, they don’t depend on theological arguments at all.
Like, “religion cannot provide any falsifiable evidence of its existence, hence it should not be believed” doesn’t involve theology at all, and “religion was invented by a priest class to control the population and maintain power” similarly doesn’t depend on theology. Neither are related to a specific religion, even.
To clarify, I’m not trying to start a theological argument here. I just literally don’t understand your perspective, but clearly I’m missing something based on both you posting it and others upvoting you. Am I just out of the loop about what people on the Internet argue about? (Granted, that’s quite possible; I haven’t been subscribed to /r/atheism in well over a decade.)
It’s satire. The author is pointing out how morally reprehensible it is, using irony.
