- Comment on BeReal 3 weeks ago:
I stopped using BeReal a few months ago after they kept adding unwanted features (the entire point of this app was its simplicity) and my friends were leaving the app. Sad to see it has these kind of ads now.

I’m sorry driving isn’t fun, it was never meant to be once we obliterated mass transit in the US. It’s meant to get you to the destination, preferably safely.
You’ve never been in a fun car on a fun twisty back road. This is what driving should be, as we should not be dependent on driving to get everywhere.
- Comment on Gacha games are out of control. Gambling shouldn't be so widespread 2 months ago:
The interesting thing is that although I’ve almost never spent money on a gacha system and haven’t played much gacha systems recently, my brain subconsciously craved for more but in a safer way.
That’s why I created the JavaScript weighted playlist for myself: A random selection of songs from my music library where some songs play (much) more than others. Getting a super rare song is akin to getting a top tier drop. Additionally, the playback rate is randomized to a normal distribution, giving the tiny chance that a rare song can play with a wild playback rate. And if that wasn’t enough, some Geometry Dash related songs can randomly skip to the next song, simulating watching someone try to beat some demon level.
I’ve created a skinner box for my brain that sometimes causes me to waste hours just clicking on the “next song” button to see what shows up next. My wallet was not harmed in the process (although it might soon be because I want it to work on a portable device, but that money would go to some niche open source hardware thing rather than a greedy gacha publisher).

I bounce between lawful neutral and chaotic neutral. Huh.
- Comment on Why I Haven't Seen Any Trump Supporters In Fediverse (Lemmy and Mastodon)? 2 months ago:
Never heard of the former, and you don’t need to use porn to fap. Porn addiction is absolutely a real thing though.
- Comment on Why I Haven't Seen Any Trump Supporters In Fediverse (Lemmy and Mastodon)? 2 months ago:
Yep. Although it’s hard to abuse fapping because you run out of sperm lol. It can be a big time waster though.

It’s not even nofap, it’s no nut November. The former is a philosophy, the latter is a challenge.

NNN communities also get downvote brigaded, even though the famous Internet challenge is largely apolitical.
- Comment on This shitpost is preventing shutdown 3 months ago:
Ubuntu sometimes does this to me, because of either some Snap thing or some CUPS thing.
- Comment on Anon rides a bike 3 months ago:
You can get an E-Bike or other personal electric vehicle if you want. Eco-friendly, inexpensive, fun, and won’t leave you drenched in sweat.
- Comment on Anon checks out mobile gaming 3 months ago:
You know what? If you enjoy the game, then there’s nothing wrong with continuing to play it, as long as you aren’t spending money on it.
- Comment on the final boss after you clear Donald Knuth 3 months ago:
I thought the boss that came after Knuth was John Conway, due to Knuth’s up-arrows vs Conway’s chained arrows.
- Comment on Good game soundtracks? 3 months ago:
Pokémon music. Especially the route themes and battle themes. If I had to list the bangers it would take hours
- Comment on I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp. 4 months ago:
The other problem with Photoshop is that it now scans your projects.
- Comment on Economics 4 months ago:
I use Calc84 on the Google Play store, free with minimal ads and a one-time fee to remove ads.
But it seems like others have found FOSS versions here.
- Comment on Close enough for government work 5 months ago:
What is this equation? When I see 1/(2πi) I immediately think of inverse Fourier transforms but the DT (instead of dΩ) shoots that down, then I see strange nested logarithms.

Natural Gas companies: No, BTU/scf or bust!
- Comment on Anon tests a pilot's reflexes 5 months ago:
It does if you also suddenly give it lots of throttle on a powerful enough motorcycle

Motorcyclists: yanks back on the handlebars and pops a wheelie, “pulling up” the front wheel
- Comment on Why does DRM consume vast system resources even though we have TPM, Pluton, etc. 5 months ago:
Unfortunately pretty much everything has Pluton these days, including all non-Dell/non-Lenovo Ryzen 6000+ or Intel 13th? Gen laptops and all Copilot+ PCs. I wouldn’t be surprised if Pluton was required to run Windows 12.
- Comment on Why does DRM consume vast system resources even though we have TPM, Pluton, etc. 5 months ago:
So what even is the purpose of Pluton if it’s useless for its main use case?
- Comment on Why does DRM consume vast system resources even though we have TPM, Pluton, etc. 5 months ago:
But my main barrier to using Adobe products is reducing my laptop battery life by an hour because of its many background bloat processes, not the price (as I am currently a student). So much for “hook 'em while they’re young.”
- Comment on The problem with GIMP 5 months ago:
I never knew the word was used as a slur. I thought it was a verb akin to “nerf”, as in “Windows 11 gimped the taskbar functionality.” I guess this word is still bad, as I want to enhance, not “gimp,” my pictures.

- Comment on Seems awfully dangerous 5 months ago:
That’s an interesting take. I enjoy riding due to the full control of my machine and piercing through the wind while zooming through the landscape. And the best part is when there’s some nice curves to corner through. All of these reasons would only be enhanced with less cars on the road.
- Comment on Seems awfully dangerous 5 months ago:
I’m gonna assume you’re actually in the GTA in Canada because there are no states in the Midwest USA where lane splitting is legal.

0 is not a natural number. 0 is a whole number.
The set of whole numbers is the union of the set of natural numbers and 0.
