My work takes 40 gig and I can still play Factorio while working :)

Because that is the only valid date format, ever, everywhere. There are just too many of them in this graph.

That’s why you never ever write the filename manually. Always copy paste it!

It has similarities though, as pointed out in orher comments. For one, a user might be more careful with downvotes if they are afraid of negative consequences e.g. harassment. With piblic votes, there would therefore be a bias towards upvotes and and people abstaining from downvotes, i.e. less interaction in total.

Downvotes serve a purpose today, letting us quickly scan which comments are controversial or even harmful to the conversation. I, for one, usually sort most threads by votes and then skip the comments with many downvotes but for controversial topics, I instead seek out the comments that have both many upvotes and downvotes.

These would be harder to find given the above bias.

Yes but I find all this both racist and sexist. Not all men in India are creeps, even if may be a rampant problem. Shouldn’t they instead try to punish the weirdos?

How about “we let private companies segregate in whichever ways they want!”?

Forcing Russia to defend so they can’t be on the offense any more.

That’s the usual open source way. The config probably came later so they just added the option without changing the default because that would break backward compatibility.

And there would be too much boring work to build a migration.

A meter is a bit longer than a yard though. https://www.google.com/search?q=1+m+in+yards&oe=utf-8

Noobs don’t know to avoid snaps… But that setup wpuld be good to recommend if a noob really needs to use arch, btw.

Just get Krita already!

That’s not how randomness works. You would want to randomize once, saving the number of steps remaining until the bullet is the next shot, decrementing the number of steps for each try.

It’s called the Golden Ratio and has a lot of neat properties! Da Vinci and other nerds love(d) using it in art.

That’s not a desk though

It takes getting used to but it really is much better for multi tasking to stop using alt + tab and minimize altogether. Send one window to desktop 1 and another to desktop 2. Now you have consciously chosen where they are and can go there quickly (i. e. Win+1).

I always put the same program in the same place, just like organizing a toolbox/kitchen. Every tool has it’s place.

Both macOS and Windows have virtual desktops too though.

I have done 14k edits over six years. I too like it for being therapeutic. I’d rather do micro-edita on osm than play another level of candy crush. Same kind of reward but you are also helping out creating something larger!

Honestly though, I don’t think osm will ever catch up to the commercial alternatives. Mostly because their harsh stance against automatic edits (and lack of version control). Also the lack of standardization is a problem. It’s very hard to create client applications because the data is structured way different in different regions.

For me, federation sounds simple in theory. In practice it’s not for end users. Forcing an instance to discover a new, unfedeated community is a pain in the ass, let alone finding that community in the first place. All these little services (e.g. listing all instances/communities) are scattered and you kind of just have to learn as you go.

The average user just wants a nice search - that searches through “all” of Lemmy - something that is obviously hard or even impossible (or even not desirable to all users)

I think the above commenter is misunderstanding that the user is also federated. All of these concepts are hard to grasp but will eventually sink in I hope.

Lossy compression?

It takes less download but more CPU to unpack it so the loading time depends on your connection and hardware. In extreme cases it may be worse than png.

Only half of it is infinite. The first half is horse, the rest is infinite centaur. Maybe that’s what you meant.
