olsonexi,

xrandr. afaik, there’s no (standard) way to set display resolution from the command line in wayland. also, there’s no equivalent of xkill, so in order to kill an unresponsive gui app, you have to grep for its pid in ps, which can get a bit tedious and annoying, especially for programs which spawn multiple processes.

olsonexi,

The real correct answer is that it only works mod 4

olsonexi,

Hanlon’s razor. I myself had no idea that 88 had any nazi-related meaning before I read this article and thought nothing of the title when I first heard it. It seems perfectly reasonable that the dev could have done the same, especially since they were willing to almost immediately change the name and remove all existing promotional material once they found out.

Why do many microwave ovens hum in an interval of a minor 7th?

Something that I’ve noticed across most of the microwave ovens that I’ve used is that when they hum while cooking food, I can pick out 2 distinct tones. One of them is pretty clearly 60 120 hz, the 2nd harmonic of the AC power frequency. The other is consistently a minor 7th above that (which would be somewhere around...

olsonexi, (edited )

I checked against a tone generator, and realized that the lower frequency was actually 120, not 60, so I’d guess you’re probably hearing that. That puts the higher frequency at 212-214, which I also checked and that range matches what I’m hearing (for 100hz, it should be at around 177-180).

olsonexi,

idk, maybe C# just doesn’t have great syntax for the way you’re doing it or something, but I think the simplest solution is the most readable in this case:


<span style="color:#323232;">for (int i = 1; i &lt; JUST_THE_WORST_NUMBER; i += 2) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    Console.WriteLine(i);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>
olsonexi,

Who even has cable or satellite anymore?

olsonexi,

I don’t even bother unsubscribing anymore, I just mark it as spam and it stops appearing in my inbox

If civilization continues to the year 9999, is the idea to go to year 10.000, or...?

It seems like it’d get increasingly impractical as the years go on to hundreds of thousands and millions of years to write them out that way, but then…I guess technically one may already do this with the preceding years, so future’s fair game for it?

olsonexi,

AD - After Christ (but in Latin)

eh… not quite

it actually stands for “Anno Domini”, which is latin, but means “in the year of the lord”

olsonexi,

I don’t see why not. 5 digits isn’t too bad, and the issue wouldn’t come up again for another 90,000 years after that. Besides, we’ll probably extinct ourselves through climate change, nuclear war, and/or AI long before then anyways.

olsonexi,

“Devious licks”, aka literally just straight up stealing shit and posting it on tiktok

olsonexi,

I do. Back on reddit, the rate of new content was enough that hot was effectively new with a quality filter. Around the end of June, when reddit pulled the api shit and people were just starting to jump ship, lemmy was a lot smaller and had less content. So if you sorted by active or hot, you would always end up seeing the same 2-year-old posts at the top every time. I set my default sort to new so that I would actually see different posts.

A QA tester walks into a bar,
orders a beer,
orders 2 beers,
orders 0 beers,
orders 4294967296 beers,
orders -1/12 beers,
orders HGdIhFNPiHPWUDmUfWIFi beers,
orders a zebra

First real customer walks in,
asks where the bathroom is,
the whole bar catches on fire

olsonexi,

Unfortunately, until and unless peertube can pay creators (so basically never), it will only ever see use by foss enthusiasts, and even then only hobbyists will use it as their primary platform. For someone making a career out of it, youtube is pretty much the only real option at the moment.

olsonexi,

That’s often also used in the other way though.

she could trust him more than any of her “friends”

olsonexi,

I would use “what’s known as”, e.g. “Western countries belong to what’s known as the Paris club”

olsonexi,

first they had machine code
then they wrote the assembler in machine code
then they rewrote the assembler in assembly
and assembled it with the machine code assembler
then they wrote the C compiler in assembly
and assembled it with the assembly assembler
then they rewrote the C compiler in C
and compiled it with the assembly C compiler
then they had the C compiler
and everything else was written in C

(note: this is a massive oversimplification and ignores much of the history of programming languages, but it at least gets across the idea of how bootstrapping is done)

olsonexi,

Signal doesn’t trust messages server side.

What does this have to do with their ability to support reproducible builds?

olsonexi,

Because they have unfathomably ridiculous amounts of money that they spend on lobbying (read: bribery) so that they stay not responsible.

olsonexi,

try connecting your phone to the port and see if you can transfer files

olsonexi,

Except sometimes you can’t not use the service.

It’s completely unreasonable to expect people to quit their job just because they disagree with the terms and conditions of a single piece of software they’re required to use for work. If that service is collecting their data, there’s basically nothing they can do about it.
