  Are you suggesting that she coded the greedy, big-nosed subhuman bankers based on antisemitic stereotypes?

  Please help. Whenever I do a “number 2” it comes out as a 3/2-dimentional object with no discrete surface. Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

  Residents of Floxas notice no change.

  I think we tried that once.

  Before memory saves, we would be putting in random 5-letter codes to see how high of a level we could get.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. As the universe expands, the “structure” of spacetime is actually expanding as well. That means that extremely distant objects are moving away from us at greater than the speed of light. Here is another article with video that explains this.

  Not cool posting this. He’s obviously having a bad fur day.

  Well they didn’t get any Western students protesting the genocide there, so it doesn’t surprise me.

  Nice to see Ukraine won

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Iran has consistently hid nuclear refinement facilities from international inspection, and there have been numerous reports of materials and facilities that serve no civilian purpose over the past 20 years, when such activity is in violation of international agreements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nuclear weapons require very precise detonators to explode, unlike conventional exposives which generally require only heat (and can blow up in the way you describe).

  It’s unclear, but most international experts agree that Iran has not yet actually put the nuclear material into any detonators. The problem is that Iran has been refining and stockpiling nuclear payloads, which could fairly easily be put into a bomb. That’s what most of the world wants to prevent.

  It’s main development is in Russia and some people have a problem with that, but the code is open, so it seems far fetched that there is anything malicious in there. I’m not an expert by any means, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is is bed with Google now, in a worse, more OS-integrated way than Mozilla was. This timeline sucks.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m transitioning my (very small) office to OnlyOffice and OwnCloud this summer. I have a lot of autonomy so I can basically just make the decision.

  I’m choosing OnlyOffice over LibreOffice because it’s a more similar to 360 an I will have to help the staff with very little tech literacy through the transition.

  We’re not ready to transition the OS just yet (and may not be able to), but as the hardware ages, we may change over some of the less essential systems. Probably Ubuntu or Zorin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hells Bells by AC/DC but it's about a biker gang of ladies from the southern US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there is a pretty popular all-woman cover band called Hell’s Belles but I’m too lazy to look it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This may be an even better example than the positron. Originally a theoretical antimatter form of the common electron, with no practical application.

  Turned out to be a vital tool for medical imaging. If you or someone you know has ever had a PET scan, now you know what the P stands for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some considerations:

  • Do you prefer to have only the latest technology, regardless of cost? These phones are in flagship price ranges.

  • Are you very careful with your phone? Cases exist, but necessarily protect less of the device. The screen is far more prone to damage, but they are durable enough for daily use if you are a careful person.

  • Are you looking to get/replace both a phone and a tablet? Reviewers tend to say that foldables are not an adequate replacement for a tablet, but people I know personally say that it is more than enough to use as a tablet.

  • What features are you willing to compromise? Foldables often have lower quality cameras, chips, and smaller batteries than similarly priced phones. I’m assuming you have already looked into it, since this is easiest thing to check.

  • Do you just really want a foldable? Honestly, everyone I know who has one loves it. If you like the format then go for it :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's going on with moths and lamps in lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Moths come from eggs, which are similar to beans, so… I have no idea.

  What if it comes out that color that researchers discovered that you can only see by shining lasers in your eyes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is feigned happiness remotely similar to actual happiness?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To a certain degree, yes. Acting happy can cause you to do activities (connection) that can actually make you more happy.

  In general though, a lot of unhappiness is founded in either an emotional response to an unhappy situation or in some type of chronic illness. Feigned happiness does not ever address underlying causes that should be addressed therapeutically.

  I think that when someone is uniquely positioned to help people, they do have a moral obligation to take action. That may be you, but it may not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life hack⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I learned from a recent conversation (in which I was the jerk) that many of the airplane employees are not actually employees of the airline.

  Often there are contractors without any benefits, including free flights. When they have to travel for work, they sometimes have to pay for their own hotels. They literally have to pay just to work.
