that’s fine, and thanks for the links! I just don’t quite agree that this is suprisingly simple mathematics :P

where × is the cross product and · is the dot product
pardon my ignorance but what the fuck is a “cross product” or a “dot product”? I assumed at first this was multiplication, but then I saw the dot and realized this isn’t anything I’ve ever been taught
- Comment on Reckless quads on the streets of Birmingham, almost knocking someone down 4 days ago:
This is perfectly safe. I know this because I’m watching what appears to be surveillance footage of the event, and as we all know surveillance keeps us all safe and protects everyone shown from any harm.

- Comment on Flock is canceled—and its competitors are profiting 5 days ago:
the alternatives do not include a nationwide search as part of their features
that’s what palantir is for, unfortunately. I would be shocked if they didn’t already have a “solution” for this, or at least if they aren’t already working on it.
and Axon sure as shit ain’t broke, being the rebranded literal Taser company, they can afford the R&D to develop it, and will probably get free cash from the fascist government to do so in the near future anyways

Stabbing Westward seems like a real deep cut.
I remember hearing that on the radio and being so into it that I think I taped it off the radio at some point. Pretty sure it was also one of the first songs I ever downloaded off Napster way back when

yet another shout out for Space Station 14, a fully open source almost-massively multiplayer game with tons of forks being actively developed with lots of cross pollination of ideas and mechanics between them.
outrageously fun gameplay, totally free, easily modified, decently easy to set up ones own server
also totally cross platform between linux, mac, and windows

the first time I saw a nutrition label like that was, I think, in Ireland. Absolutely blew my mind how staggeringly useful it was in comparing different foods since there’s that common quantity across all of them.
I really wish we had that in the US.

Punching everyone equally gives the appearance that everyone deserves to be punched. Just another form of “both sides” bullshit.
Folks are rightfully calling out the anti trans stuff and anti gay stuff, and the climate change stuff. But one that really sticks with me the most is when they punched down on alcoholics.
Basically they implied alcoholics should be able to enjoy a tiny bit of alcohol here or there, and called out alcoholics who completely abstain as being undiciplined losers.
As someone with outrageous amounts of alcoholism on both sides of my family, it doesn’t sit well with me at all.
Plus, Matt and Trey are Republicans, so fuck them.
- Comment on Are there any technology-oriented content creators that are still good? 5 weeks ago:
everyone is gonna fuck up at least a tiny bit over years-long careers like these.
I dislike Jeff Geerling for his past homophobic religious blog posts. And I haven’t seen him apologize for them or make any sort of positive or supportive remarks about queer folks, ever, so I can only assume he still holds bigotry in his heart.
I adore Alec from Technology Connections. Maybe not the kinds of tech you’re referring to, but he and his videos are SO good.

It did! Not technically perfect, but none of us expected it to be, and we had fun and got nothing but positive feedback!
definitely feeling the importance of the bass player keeping the rhythm, especially when our drummer also does backup vocals (which still blows my mind that anyone can do that many things at once!)

getting ready to play bass in a cover band, we have an hour long set at a retirement home this afternoon. my first ever paid gig! definitely a tad nervous but it should be a good time

I could not possibly use my PS5 less. As much as I’d like to actively participate in this boycott, I am only able to passively participate by continuing to neglect my PS5 in favor of PC gaming on linux, which is better in every possible way anyways.
