too bad unix time only has 14 years of life left in it.

Edit: this only applies to 32 bit Unix time. The 64 bit lifespan is a little longer, at 584 billion years. Whoops lol.

Useless RGB is overrated. I color coded my keyboard and it’s unbelievably helpful, especially for altered keys (ie: media keys/macro keys).

I’ve always been good at basic math (up to and including highschool ball-park algebra) on an intuitive level, to a degree that was so wildly unhelpful and didn’t align at all with my schooling experience. Did extremely well in elementary and most middle school math, but in 8th grade algebra is where it really started to cause issues. We’d have a new concept shown in the form of equations and I’d always arrive at an answer by just plugging in numbers and solving it in my head until I honed in on the right answer (essentially just brute-forcing a correct answer).

Of course this didn’t work in that class, because the teacher wanted me to “show my work”, and wouldn’t accept an answer of “I just did it in my head” or “I looked for an answer in my head and found it”. I eventually learned what “show your work” really meant (show the step by step algebraic process that the teacher wants you to do), but I pick up on that until long after I’d given up on highschool (I was forced to retake algebra in 9th grade, and then put into a lower math class in 10th, and by that point, I just stopped going to math class entirely).

Fun fact, I got suspended from school a couple times for skipping class. The process was basically this:

1. Skip class

2. Be assigned detention for skipping class

3. Skip class again when they were going to tell me I had detention

4. Skip detention that I was never informed of

5. Assigned, but never informed of, double detention

6. Skip detention that I was still never informed of

7. Suspended from school (still never informed of)

8. Have a teacher see me on campus and tell me I’m suspended and need to leave school grounds (which is the first I heard of any of it)

School system at its finest, y’all. Skip class enough and they punish you by saying you’re not allowed to go to class.

Protip: set up a macro to type out site:reddit.com if you can’t be fucked to type after every search.

Pepperoni and green peppers, mushrooms, olives, chives!

Oh wait wrong song.

How do I know if something is Nuttable?

First I’m hearing of Tiny10 and starting to consider my options for jumping ship on windows. Anyone willing to give a short rundown/ weigh their opinions of linux/windows/other OSes. Video games are the main factor for me, with user control a very close second.

Just an FYI, that’s a bot, possibly either for a news site, some kind of valuation service, or for AI. Half hour old account that’s asking related questions and quoting the entire context of the question, and offering no actual input beyond that.

For text, AI training AI wouldn’t be all that great for giving data sets a little poison ivy rubdown, because at the end of the day, the message is still moderated by a non bot. I think a better way would be to write more unconventionally, but heavily contextual so that if specifics texts are ripped and tossed into the bot blender, it’ll make no sense without the context alongside it.

Slang, edge case wording, and verbing non verbs would likely do a lot of heavy lifting in that department.

Yeah, that was poor wording on my part, reading my comment back. I said it’s likely that it was either of those, but I was thinking more along the lines of “it sounds similar to either of those”. I also doubt they do IP bans, and I don’t know enough about MAC address logistics. I assumed they’d be able to pull that info from a web browser, depending on the one used.

Ah, that makes more sense. I couldn’t remember the specifics but I’ve have always done ethernet on my pc so that checks out for my experience.

Edit: Likely Sounds to me like an IP and/or MAC address ban (MAC address is tied to motherboards IIRC). I got banned once from one of my old favorite games (PSO2) for mistakenly swapping my vpn mid game. After a lot of troubleshooting and an apartment move in between, a MAC spoofing program is what did the trick.

Side note, does lemmy use markdown format? If not, does anyone know what it uses?
