  An infinitely small segment of the arc can be.
  Geometrically there isn’t a problem. If you draw a line from that point to the center of the arc, it will make it clearer.

  Calling them ‘curses’ is apt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Spitting in the face of your international audience': The Alters cops to using generative AI for background text and translations, despite not disclosing such on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have an issue, it was just a question.
  I don’t ever translate anything but a few words myself.
  My assumption was that a dedicated tool would have done a better job, but you have good points about tone and coherence of long text (and possibly even across many promps of the translation).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Spitting in the face of your international audience': The Alters cops to using generative AI for background text and translations, despite not disclosing such on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would they use LLMs for translation over dedicated translator (apps like Google translate)? Is this common now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Original Flavour⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck / Gaming News #22⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This post made me switch to Voyager

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only to a degree. Good flags are simple, distinct, memorable, easy to recognise from a distance, easy to recreate.
  There are plenty of objectively bad flags out there that fail in their design, yet people still like them, and that is fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even in android Microsoft is still trying to get you to use edge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d take that in a heartbeat. I want my meetings and emails summarised, minutes written for me.
  That’s the kind of daily crap I don’t want to have to do myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would be more surprised that you yourself would withstand vibrations extreme enough to kill a hard drive, for 8 hours at that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This seems highly unlikely. Modern HDDs are extremely resilient.
  But I don’t know the details of your situation, obviously, and it’s not impossible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have heard that China has made significant efforts in this area, but that really is a massive change in just over a decade.
  Meanwhile, the UK will take as long to build a single high-speed line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THIS always annoys me.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone correct me, but I understood that donations serve as a tax write-off.
  So they don’t care about the donations as much as their own savings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AGI achieved 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I want an option to select Marvin the paranoid android mood: “there’s your answer, now if you could leave me to wallow in self-pitty”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still Drifting⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I repair a lot of my stuff, but bear in mind repairability isn’t just ‘can I fix it’, but ‘can anyone’, which includes repair shops.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pull to enter, you say?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is true and not just about ads. It’s called ‘sign blindness’.
  People often run on autopilot when doing things as basic as opening doors, and reading requires direct attention.
  It’s not (always) about being dumb or careless, it’s our nature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No looky for you!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s so that you can pontificate on that tissue you left in your pocket as it dissolves into little bits of paper snot and gets stuck on everything

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rhubarb⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We make rhubarb cake using one from our garden. It’s delicious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe turns subscription screw again, telling users to pay up or downgrade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think that’s true, at least for companies.
  Industry standard or even company standard means you need a very critical reason to switch because doing so is very costly in ways that don’t really affect an individual or a small team.
  This is why large corps often still use decades old software that may be terrible by that point, but impossible to move away from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The clueless people are out there among us⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I do prefer English plugs. Euro can wear out or just not hold in as well if they’re cheaply made. Never ever had that issue with English ones.

  Icq was back, last i checked. You may even find your contacts there still, if not messages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know that would solve everything anyway. Worst case, he’d become some kind of martyr.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If only we had a reason to upgrade.
  Instead, we have many reasons not to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon fixes Super Mario Bros⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be the only way to punish people in certain games.
  If there’s no punishment for failure, there’s no reason to respect any dangers the game presents.
  In Minecraft, what should happen if you walk north for an hour and die? If you respawn with your inventory, why not just do that again and die as a quick way to get back? Why even bother with equipment or food at that point? Suddenly, half the game mechanics have lost their meaning, and there’s a lot less to do for the player.

  Forgot? Why should he care? There appear to be no repercussions to his behaviour.
  Unfortunately, it seems these people can do whatever the hell they want.
