Yeah, last year, 2024. Stupid way of intentionally phrasing it.

I wouldn’t, and I don’t think most people would, consider being in hibernation mode or sleep mode as “on”. Sure, it will add to your uptime, but like its a demonstrably different power state.

Mm, fair if you are running some task while you’re not “actively” using the PC. Although given the general sentiment of people in the replies, the leading reason is “I’m lazy” or “its convenient”.

Eh, like that’s fair its personal preference but the energy waste of just having your PC idle is just weird to me. (Folding@home is totally reasonable)

Y’all it takes like 15 seconds to boot from an SSD why are you leaving your computers on?

Last I checked school teachers didn’t make medical diagnoses. Elon is a fucking tool, but we don’t need to perpetuate ableism when we talk about him.

Come on man no need to throw slurs around even if you’re quoting someone else

Hell yeah although you might want to construct an identifier from like, name and surname and datetime of birth?

You’re 100% right that is the most logical extension from the basis of 1 bit m-f - I completely overlooked that!

I’m glad to stumble upon someone on the internet who has the same crossover of programming, math, and gender (so unlikely! I know!) as well as silly humour in this regard :D

I was more approaching it from a programming perspective than a mathematical one - we could theoretically “label” all the gender experiences (perhaps just with the name of the individual that experiences it)

Of course this would be like labeling different variations of the sine function, and other functions, to use the analogy you made

The thing thats represented by the label may be discrete or continuous or anything

To be clear, I’m not attempting to represent gender as a continuous spectrum between Man and Woman - I’m throwing the gender binary out entirely and imagining each gender as some arbitrarily defined thing, ie for some people its a sine function (again to use your analogy) with different coefficients

If one wanted to represent the “gender space” as some 1d number line or 2d space with cartesian axes, then absolutely you’d need to fulfil the infinite and continuous criteria and I agree with you.

Though, to ramble a bit, I don’t know what you’d use to label the axis/axes because we sure as hell can’t use Man to Woman when agender folk exist, and we can’t even use Man to Woman and Agender to Allogender because some folk would fall outside of those axes still.

Sure but thats their experience of gender right? Their experience of gender will never be “not their experience of gender” even if it changes from instant to instant

I guess in theory as there will only ever be a finite number of individuals, there will also necessarily only ever be a finite number of different gender expressions, so finite discrete probably works. (Not to say that peoples experiences of gender are fixed and equidistant, but more so that you could have a “gender enum” with an entry for each individual)

Of course, trying to say how many bits this would require is almost impossible because theres always going to be more people and more genders, but it is technically finite.

In any case, bagsies on (leading zeros)100101001

That’s disgusting.

What has he done to bandcamp?

As a Linux user, this post is exhausting.

SteamOS is exciting. Many people had their first proper experience of using Linux with the steamdeck and many of those thoroughly enjoy the experience. I imagine its a great comfort to know that your OS is being supported by the same people who gave you such a great experience in the past.

I’m sure theres a tiny fraction of people who absolutely are just moving the goalpost over and over, but most people just want something that works for them with minimal friction. SteamOS will do that, and it’ll be familiar.

I just know they’ll put a completely normal amount of thermal paste on the CPU.

They do, yes. /srs

You’re thinking of Mac users. /j

I found the drop rate pretty reasonable in 2 considering that the legendaries had dedicated drop sources as well as just random world drops. So you could actually farm a legendary. As opposed to bl1 where all legendaries were random world drops.

Legendary drop rate was tuned waaaaaaay too high. There was basically no reason to have anything non-legendary equipped past level 10 because even an underleveled legendary still performs better than your on-level blues or purples (except for uniques) and by the time it doesn’t, you’ve replaced it with another legendary because of insane drop rates.

I found the effects fine, tbh. Some had fun gimmicks to build around, some had powerful effects, some had niche effects, and some were nice gags.
