Of course it can’t work right away for everyone. But it’s a conversation you can have, explain your concerns, why it would be better to move on to a different software.
I used to talk to my family over WhatsApp, until they had a 24h outage and we switched to Signal, to never come back. But I still have dozens of other people there who won’t switch. At some point it’s a tradeoff you decide to make
- Comment on More Censorship by Meta 13 hours ago:
i’ve moved my communication to Signal, it’s been good so far and i haven’t heard of privacy-related incidents
- Comment on More Censorship by Meta 13 hours ago:
yeah it’s probable better not committing additional information, they won’t collect more about you if you never use it

Alll the power to you! We need to normalize keeping in touch with each other in a more personal way. They robbed writing thoughtful letters, postcards and greeting cards from us.
- Comment on More Censorship by Meta 19 hours ago:
Time to close all your accounts on anything owned by Meta, y’all. There are Fediverse or privacy-oriented version of everything they do. And maybe you won’t find the same people there, but you certainly will find new ones that are definitely worth your time and attention. Ad-free. Nazi-bootlicker-free.

what a sweet message, i hope the chocolates are also filled with cotton
- Comment on Can I pay someone to add a specific feature to an open source app? 1 week ago:
if it’s open source, you can definitely have someone copy that code, make the change you want and use that modified version.
if you wish to redistribute the modified version, some rules will apply depending on the type of licensing of the original program.
if you wish your changes to be integrated to the “official” version of the program, that’s a bit more difficult, as this change would have to be accepted by the owner of the code repository, it needs to fit the code quality, planned features implementation, pass the tests, and that people involved have time for and interest in your changes.
- Comment on If you save, we will charge you more 1 week ago:
i think the title has the “you” meant in the “you all” sense, if the customers as a whole save energy, the price per unit goes up.

- Comment on MS new captcha: Why did it have to be that hard!?!? 3 weeks ago:
yeah, i just did the derivative first and added that last x at the end, same result
- Comment on MS new captcha: Why did it have to be that hard!?!? 3 weeks ago:
ah ok you’re adding the final x directly to the polynomial, that’s fine then, yes
- Comment on MS new captcha: Why did it have to be that hard!?!? 3 weeks ago:
no, you need to derivate the f(x) function twice because the last line asks for f"(x). you do that by taking down the exponent in front of each power of the polynomial and decreasing the power by one each time you derivate.
So for the 13x³: derived once it becomes 3 times 13 x² derived once, equals 39x². Derived a second time, it is 2 times 39x, so 78x.
The x is given when finding the correct pattern that matches the missing symbol in the first part of the problem, being the dot, so 52. I explained how you find this in a comment somewhere up here :)
- Comment on MS new captcha: Why did it have to be that hard!?!? 3 weeks ago:
I agree with your solution! GG
- f’(x) = 313x²+211x+10
- f"(x) = 6*13x+22 = 72x + 22
- f"(52) = 4056 + 22 = 4 078
4078 + 52 = 4 130
- Comment on MS new captcha: Why did it have to be that hard!?!? 3 weeks ago:
no the correct pattern is 52, using the following method:
- for each column, superpose the outer diagonal lines of the first and second pattern, lines that appear in both symbols are suppressed in the third (bottom) pattern, lines that only appear in one of the two first patterns are kept.
- for each column, superpose the clock hands of the first and second pattern, only keep the clock hands that appear in both symbols at the same position.
The third column has the same diagonal lines in the first and second pattern, so they disappear. Those two symbols have different clock hands so they also disappear. So the only remaining element in the pattern is the central dot (52).

i totally agree, it’s still good problem solving skill
- Comment on MS new captcha: Why did it have to be that hard!?!? 3 weeks ago:
that’s really impressive, parsing so much information from a 2 step problem displayed skewed on a garbled background
- Comment on MS new captcha: Why did it have to be that hard!?!? 3 weeks ago:
Yup same, i looked it up and it all came back. However, it’s still a completely useless knowledge in my normal adult life, though i’m a software engineer

- Comment on Jumping in would either give you superpowers or cancer 5 weeks ago:
it’s mainly to avoid polluting the groundwater, environmental laws are strict and people tend to stick to the rules (and will call the police on you if you don’t)

Meanwhile in Germany, you can’t clean your car in your own driveway because it could pollute the soil, with a fine up to €50k

there’s a handy round section of a cylinder made out of a silvery metal, with embossed motives on both sides, that carry this exact value, you can use it to trade for an item deemed similarly priced

yes, it’s probably better than posting publicly, unless you’re into it of course
