Corpos love opt-out because it lets them take advantage of people who don’t consent but maybe weren’t paying attention to or understanding the option right at the moment, esp if deceptive design is used.

Edit: and judging by the stupid formatting of that poll, I don’t think I trust them not to use deceptive design to confuse people lmao.

Ugh you’re right. I admit I’ve scrolled through AITA more often than I should, because something about it is really entertaining.

But it’s like junk food, I don’t really feel good when I’m done with it. More vindictive, like those revenge subs. Being off Reddit has reduced how much I see it, and I don’t particularly want to go back to that.

I always thought i for index when iterating through an array. Then you can’t use i again in a nested loop so j follows.

Tho sometimes x, y if the array represents coordinates.

Only a maniac would use a, b.

Just tried it. “An oonique”… Sounds fancy.

NovelAI doesn’t censor itself. Do with that as you will.

🤤

Now that’s a satisfying couple of charts!

I think the benefit of having metric in base 10 rather than 12 is that it matches our numeric base system.

123mm is 12.3cm and 1.23dm and 0.123m.

Converting things in base 12 would be a bit more work, not sure it’d be worth it.

We’re not really going around converting time very often.

12 and 60 divide nicely. A quarter of a 12-hour clock is 3 hours, but in decimal time it’d be 2.5 hours. A third is 4 hours in base 12, but some gross 3.33 repeating in decimal.

I just don’t like it.

Bloons TD 6. Only game I’ve had installed for years, the pop pop pop makes my brain happy in a way I can’t explain.

You make a real good point.

My laptop’s my primary driver, and the device I go to when I need to do any real work. I sometimes get frustrated trying to do something on my phone and switch to my laptop because it’s far more efficient. My phone’s for doomscrolling and music primarily, so I don’t need all the bells and whistles.

For my mum, on the other hand, her phone is her primary driver and the big screen is especially useful with aging eyes so she can make the font bigger and still have real estate. The pocket thing isn’t an issue either because she just throws it into her purse.

Though, she does drop her phone and crack the screen way more often than I do, bit unwieldy when they hit the phablet size. 🤔 I wonder if manufacturers like that, more money in warranties/repairs.

Small hands. My Pixel 4a is as big as I’ll go at 5.8", as I can reach the other side of the phone with my thumb to type one-handed.

Mint user here, did the switch years ago and never came back. Steam with Proton makes gaming easy, and for games not on Steam, you can look at Lutris (played WoW like that with no problems).

My only experience with AI is tensorflow, but interfacing with Nvidia cards is easier on Linux than Windows, since I ended up needing to use WSL anyway.

The only browser stuff that might get annoying is Pearson exams, if you ever need to do any. They really don’t like Linux users.
