Pythagorean theorem.

Although, don’t solve this or else Pythagoras might throw you off of a boat

Any circle could have its radius technically be 1, as long as you set the units of measurement so that 1 equals the radius of the circle.

It’s not like the Washington Post is going to stop just because people cancel it.

Might as well pluck two leeches when you’re plucking one anyway

Remember, if you want to repeat this feat or replicate it you must first delve deeply into a topic that has no solution and learn every single thing you possibly can about it until your brain is simply unable to absorb or process any more information and then do LSD about it.

you weren’t supposed to tell

One minute it’s 7: 59 AM and then the next minute BAM

The playbook as I understand it is that they offer a community improvement for free at first to get you hooked and then once everyone is entirely reliant upon it that’s when they do the rug pull.

So there is a good chance that Google search will improve for the next 6 to 18 months while they are doing this just know that this is a temporary reprieve from the enshittification solely to prime the engine for the enshittification to get massively worse.

Thank you for clarifying that the gif is unrelated because typically if your landlord wants to give you unlimited head they can offer that but they can’t force you to take it.

I say data (dah-ta) when it is information that cannot normally be read by a human, and data (day-ta) when it is information that has been compiled about a topic that is in human readable format.

“The data on the hard drive has been corrupted.” - dah-ta

“The data shows that you have a life expectancy of 78 years” -day-ta

Amazon could make such a dramatic improvement by adding a simple “this item is not appropriate for this search” clickbox.

That way the users could force the sellers to correctly list their products or to face downranking in the search results.

I mean, you’re not wrong, but it seems like a shopping website that refuses to show you the thing that you are looking for doesn’t want your business.

Amazon is incredibly bad about this. If I did not have to use it for work, I would not use it at all. I deactivated my prime account 5 years ago and I have not regretted it one second.

Now though, eBay is doing the same thing and that really sucks. AliExpress also does this. It’s getting to the point where you simply cannot find what you are looking for unless you are so specific that whatever search algorithm they are using simply cannot choose to show you something else about directly explicitly lying to your face.

And I don’t think that using a third party search engine to find the specific part number of the item you’re looking for so that you can find it on the shopping website that makes its money by selling you the things that you want to buy is a good solution.

I’ve noticed that when I am specking out a new computer I typically fall into the trap of wanting the absolute best computer I can get for the money.

I’ve always been on the cheaper side, so I have found myself spending days or weeks researching various parts at various quality levels at various prices.

It becomes a huge drag.

Set the budget that you’re comfortable with, find the motherboard that has the features that you want, then get a CPU that fits in that price range, a case that fits your use cases, and then if you’re going to splurge on anything splurge on the power supply as a good power supply can last you through multiple computers.

If you have to save money somewhere, save money on RAM as you can always order more or upgrade the rim that you have relatively inexpensively. Maybe if you’re going intel, purchase an i5 CPU and then consider upgrading if you max out its abilities or you find yourself frequently running at 100% utilization.

And don’t overlook pre-builts. There are lots of refurbished computers that you can purchase for far less than the cost of the individual parts that have all of the minimum specs that you want in exchange for little things like only having a single stick of ram or having a low quality SSD.

There’s nothing that stops you from upgrading later should your use case change.

It crossed my mind earlier today that we live in a world that is optimized for the happiness of the rich. Everything else on the planet has been twisted towards that goal.

174,000k on that spark plug and it still looks that good? I want to know what brand, because every spark plug I’ve ever owned at 100,000k does not look nearly that good.

By fast, supplies are running out

It’s also my grandma’s 94th birthday!

You got to give us some context my dude. Why is funk whale not recommended by you?

I tried navidrome but the issue I ran into is that it would not play individual songs or sort through them, it would just play my albums in alphabetical order.

And I don’t know as far as jelly fin goes, I like it as a video platform but for music I couldn’t get it to just randomly display the songs and let me shuffle through them.

I’m looking for a music server that can see all of my songs and music and shuffle them and play them. Does anything like that exist?

This looks like the aftermath of a battle between Giants where a sword cleaved the rocks. It’s amazing

I agree. It’s not that I expect Linux to be like windows. It’s not and that’s a good thing. I’m just thinking for when I encounter people and they ask me, “Hey, I was thinking about trying a Linux. What should I do? Which one should I pick?”

I’m going to recommend Kubuntu.
