End comes after 10 minutes of video with nothing happening. And when something does happen, it’s half out of frame and completely underwhelming.

Woks don’t have buttons! How the hell do you expect to deep fry things without any buttons!? I’ve seen into the back of a McDonald’s before, their deep fryers have buttons and beep and shit. If a wok ever beeped at me, I wouldn’t think “oh, fries are done,” I’d think, “am I going insane?”

Unless you’re using one as a helmet, in which case it’s more of a ding than a beep, but it means it just saved your life and you should tip your blacksmith. You should also probably clean the wok before you use it to sear something and set it aside or bake cookies or anything, though.

This wouldn’t be necessary if everyone used the proper peer review process before publishing their jokes!!

Yeah, I’ve delivered pizza in a city of over 100k people. The whole idea of an address is to figure out where the destination is down to the personal residence. Doesn’t matter if the people are spread out in a single building or many buildings.

I didn’t go knocking on every door any time someone ordered pizza to an apartment. Biggest concern about apartments were if they had a buzzer, if that buzzer worked, and if the code matched the unit number or would be easy to figure out based on the information provided. And if it wasn’t, their phone number was part of the information provided.

Nah, it’ll be more subtle than that. Just like Brawno is full of the electrolytes plants crave, responses will be full of subtle product and brand references marketers crave. And A/B studies performed at massive scales in real-time on unwitting users and evaluated with other AIs will help them zero in on the most effective way to pepper those in for each personality type it can differentiate.

Yeah, though I’d argue using kanji is different notation. Unless you meant delta and five both being spelled out in English. Should have used Δ lol.

Yeah, that last one is my preferred one. Who knows if it’s true or not, but if I could pick which one was true, I’d pick that one. I think it would have the best combination of getting all questions answered while also being able to keep existence interesting. It’s a way to be immortal without regretting it, if mortality even applies to whatever we really are that is experiencing all of this.

I wonder if there were eons of boredom before the possibly even occurred and if there will be eons more of boredom after the one ends. Or if there’s simultaneously a multitude of planets with life that we can experience. Maybe even a multitude of universes to experience life on.

Going really far with the idea, there’s a possibility that all fiction and creative storytelling is actually a part of us just recounting something that happened to other parts of us in places with similar rules or very different ones.

Like infinite monkeys in infinite universes with infinite laws of physics and infinite definitions of “monkey” playing out every possible permutation of every possible existence.

A few more:

Delta, there is a god and he’s good because nothing in this reality really matters, it’s just a test (for us) or experiment (that we are a part of).

Five) after being more hands on in the old times, and trying many different things, god decided to try again elsewhere and just lets shit play out as it will here.

六> We are god experiencing a reality as lesser beings because it gets boring being all powerful and knowing. Any godly effects are done for entertainment purposes rather than making things better or worse.

I think it would be a net zero for babies getting access to food because it’s not like it’s being stolen to be destroyed or processed into something that won’t eventually get fed to some baby.

Though it might be equivalent to scalping if the goal is to create a shortage to sell at a higher price in the same area. But I’d bet that if it’s being sold locally, it’s at a discount.

Yeah, from my pov, it’s not about silencing their opinions as much as it is wanting to avoid their authority because they abuse it to push their opinions.

Same reason I ultimately left Reddit. Admins were making choices I didn’t like and forcing them on their users. The new site and official app both suck, but I had the option of using other apps or the old site. Even the old site isn’t a great experience on mobile vs some 3rd party apps, but then they killed off the apps in a way that looked like they weren’t being honest about (though in hindsight it was more about wanting to price access for AI training than specifically wanting to kill the 3rd party apps imo).

Lemmy isn’t immune from any of that, but the impact isn’t as high because federation gives options. And corruption turns into more of a game of whack a mole instead of “throw lots of money at the one entity controlling it” like Reddit and Twitter.

A part that complicates it is nutrition. Nutrients are related to food cravings, but if you don’t have access to food that has the nutrients your body is craving, you might eat other things in an attempt to satisfy that craving. But since they don’t contain what your body needs, the craving doesn’t go away, so the drive to eat more remains.

It’s like the difference between being satisfied and full. For the first one, your body decides it doesn’t need anything more and the desire to eat just isn’t urgent (comfort/habit eating can still be a thing though). When you’re full, it just means your stomach is full and you can’t eat more without discomfort. But once there’s room again, the hunger might return.

It was something I’d always notice with McDonald’s. One big Mac never felt like it was enough. I’d eat the food and then be disappointed because it was all gone but I still wanted to eat.

But a good meal with a variety of ingredients can satisfy even if the volume of food isn’t high. Like I’ve only tried fine dining once and went in to the 9 course meal expecting to need to stop for a burger or something afterwards because I knew the portions of each course would be tiny. I walked out of that restaurant with room in my belly but no desire to fill it with anything else.

It’s also why pregnancy cravings are so strong. The body needs more nutrients when building another body, plus the timing of accessing those nutrients is more important.

Could have a system where a government site cryptographically signs a birth year plus random token provided by the site you want to use.

Step 1: access site
Step 2: site sends random token
Step 3: user’s browser sends token plus user authentication information
Step 4: gov site replies with a string containing birth year, token, and signature
Step 5: send that string to the other site where it uses the government’s public key to verify the signature, showing the birth year is attested by the government

No need to have any direct connection with the user’s identity and the site or been the gov and site.

Ah fuck, I just figured it out. We’re in the bad place.

I’m not sure there is a way to rebind those keyboard shortcuts, at least in Windows, since I believe they are all handled in the current program’s Windows message handler as key inputs rather than cut/copy/paste events. So, afaik, it would need to be set up on a per program basis with that program’s support.

There might be a utility that does that remapping on a key by key basis, but I figure such an app might not work as well with games that use ctrl as a modifier key but not for cut/copy/paste.

For Linux, most of the work I do there is via the terminal which doesn’t even have the usual ctrl key combos for those operations (like ctrl+c is SIGTERM instead of copy).

If I’m doing something that is heavy on copy/paste and mouse use, middle click paste covers a lot and for what it doesn’t, I can move my left hand to hit the qwerty period or I buttons on the right side of the keyboard, so this issue hasn’t been enough of a problem for me to seek out a better solution. I’ve also got a two button switch keyboard layouts shortcut so I could just switch it to qwerty for that and switch back easy enough.

Though I did use to rebind those shortcuts in word and the like when qwerty habits were fresher in my mind. Thinking back on it, I’m not sure when it was that I “unlearned” those shortcuts.

No, but I’ve been using Dvorak long enough to have forgotten how convenient the default cut/copy/paste binds are [on qwerty] without stopping to think about it. Dvorak’s x, c, and v are where qwerty’s b, i, and period are, respectively.

I still use the keybinds more often than right click, but it’s not always the optimal option. With qwerty, it might be always optimal.

Edit: clarity (marked with square brackets)

If your hand is already on the mouse, it can be quicker to just right click and click copy. Especially if the next action also uses the mouse.

I disagree that that warning is reasonably clear. Even the comment that included it has the line of thought, where the user, not knowing what terms git uses thinks that they just did an action that is going to change each of their files. It makes sense that they’d want to discard those changes. That user then goes on with some snark about not wanting to learn any more about what they are playing with and that other programs would do the same, but “discard changes” seems like it would have a clear meaning to someone who doesn’t know git.

The warning says it isn’t undoable but also doesn’t clarify that the files themselves are the changes. Should probably have a special case for if someone hits discard changes on a brand new repository with no files ever checked in and hits discard on a large number of files instead of checking them in. Even a “(This deletes all of the local files!)” would make it clear enough to say what the warning is really about.

And even if the question isn’t being asked in good faith, just dismissing it might feel like you’re showing them up, but someone who would be convinced by the bad faith question isn’t going to change their mind when they see a “just Google it, it’s so simple”.

And even for those that do search it, who knows what sources they end up looking at. “Oh, 9/10 oil execs say it’s actually ok while the 1/10 remaining just laugh when asked, so it must be ok! Oh and Fox News confirms it!” Buys another unnecessarily large truck.

Or marked as duplicate and closed but when you click the duplicate it’s a different issue.

My cousin had one a few years back and said it was very painful. He didn’t end up needing more than one shot because the bat that got him tested negative, so I’m not sure how many doses it was in total.
