  Never programmed on the z80, but a common flag in cpus is Zero or Not Zero (nz), that would be set when the result of an operation is not zero (or zero, depends on the architecture)

  For example A = 0 (A being a generic register) would set Z to 1 and NZ to 0, and viceversa for A = 1

  Unfortunately that was common even before LLMs. I’ve ancountered at least half a dozen websites that mirror Stack Overflow questions, along with answers and comments, in a blog-like presentation.

  I think Skibidi Toilet is way healthier than mainstream comedic tropes like “fat guy funny” or “gay guy effemminate” that were soooo common in mainstream TV and now are (luckily) fading out.

  Brainrot is equally stupid but more self-concious and more honest.

  And to be honest, the first time I stumbled upon Skibidi Toilet, I thought it was a 2012 Garry’s mod stupid video, game me the same vibe.

  However, Ai-slop brainrot (brainslop? Sloprot?), that feels worse. I know I’m pulling out the “kids these days card”, but what really changed is the media: TikTok and all the Tok-likes+AI are becoming better and better at rotting your brain. I don’t know if they really worsen the attention span, even temporarily, but I’m convinced it reduces people’s happiness and is the closest we can get to mind control as the consiracists intend it to be

  If the situation turns out where Trump is falling (unlikely but not impossible), you accept a plea deal with current Trump allies that will wait for him to look away and stab behind his back, so someone else will take power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Take the plea deal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That works under the assumption that Trump falls and crumbles

  With the amount of work they are putting in compatibility layers technology, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could run The Witcher 3 on it out of the box.

  At least they tried to hide it, now they don’t.

  As for the cold war, if you consider the conflict USA-USSR they clearly won: Russia was, at least at some point, equally powerful to the USA technologically and militarly, what one did first, the other caught up pretty quickly, then the Soviet Government collapsed for various reasons, and they couldn’t catch up, now the USA is arguably the most technologically advanced country in the world, in many aspects.

  China is catching up, but they are in no way equally capable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3-bean soup⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know, what I’m saying is that latte = milk in italian, so if you ordered latte in Italy you would get a glass of milk, that’s what I mean by mistranslation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3-bean soup⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  English has a really bad habit of mistranslating things, for some reason latte = coffee+milk, while latte means milk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just FYI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People don’t like being told they are wrong, so, if you are sure they are indeed wrong, giving them the option to reconsider is usually more tactful and polite.

  Also, I don’t know what your job is, but noone ks paid to be right. People make mistake because you can never be fully certain of anything. You are paid for your time/experience, and that allows you to be wrong (at least in a healthy environment).

  Have been to Los Angeles for a short time with friends and of course we tried several fast foods. We decided to go to Hooters just for fun, but the food was surprisingly the most decent of those we tried, and also reasonably priced. Of course we could see a lot of creepy around us and it was a little unconfortable seeing some clearly underage girls just being there for their boobs.

  The US really is a weird place…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great business idea, tbh⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What prevents them for doing the same? Not doing their job until they are fired so they don’t have to quit. I would get that would be even more shameful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would hardly consider “one or two trump supporter in two years” a silo, like how many other people you encountered that were less extremists and more capable of dialogue?

  Also, lemmy is not immune to tech propaganda, since it cannot be taken in isolation: people will still (albeit probably less intesively) biased by consuming other media, and being mostly a link aggregator rather than a generator of original content, there will still be some bias from the sources. It’s just a place where there’s no omnipotent algorithm so the problem is less grave, but still present.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendon't⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not hating, I don’t know from which year this is from, didn’t even know it’s a development kit, and although the capabilities I mentioned are recent (and by recent, thunderbolt 4 has been around for at least a couple years, PD 120w for around the same or even more), a single usb-C has been capable of driving a portable device, that needs charging and a display output, from at least 7+ years.

  You can call me cynical, but yes, if I see a strange double usb-C port I think it doesn’t really make a ton of sense and the first thing I think about is a strange trick to transform a standard technology in something proprietary, especially since nintendo has done the same with the switch 2 by implementing non-standard usb c in their dock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendon't⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  USB 3.2 or 4 allows for a thunderbolt 4 interface, that runs at 40 GB/s (for external gpu cards). Thunderbolt also uses Power Delivery and the latest version allows for a 48V @ 5A profile, that would be 240W. Even previous versions allow for 24V @ 5V (120W).

  As for the cable length I wouldn’t really know, probably it’s possible up to a meter, if the cable is well shielded, the power doesn’t change much because the current os always rather low, it’s the voltage that increases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendon't⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A single usbc can deviler 240W and data at 40 GB/s, what else can it be other than vendor lockin by nintendo?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | Season 4 Clip | Paramount+ (NYCC 2025)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t know about that formula. Is it used behind the scene but never mentioned, or just used retroactively to explain the difference between the different series?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | Season 4 Clip | Paramount+ (NYCC 2025)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In Voyager and TNG it has been established that warp 10 is infinite velocity, that means the warp scale is not linear (the differencr between warp 9 and 8 must be higher than the difference between 8 and 7). After all, Voyager’s max speed of 9.975 is faster than Enterprise D’s 9.6.

  Then again, warp speed has always been quite inconsistent, so who knows which scale they are using…

  They definitely didn’t have neodinium magnets, as neodinium being a lantanide metal was discovered only recently (1700s or 1800s) and requires extremely advanced (for the time) metallurgy and chemistry to extract from minerals.

  Man, nobody can put “a target” on you for something you say on a public forum that people get mad about.

  You guys want freedom of speech? Freedom of speech is also getting shit on online for something you say. You have a right to speak, not a right to be liked.
