  • Welp my two gmail address have been pwned. Good thing I don't use them and I have limited use of Google services.

  • I did something similar except I wrote a C# program and used AvaloniaUI to build a cross-platform GUI. It was a project to learn C#. I have to make some updates to that now that I think about it...

  • It definitely lacks diversity. But at the same time it reminds me of the early internet where we had dedicated forums like IGN. Most people weren't on these forums nor cared to be there. The problem here is sometimes Lemmy is not welcoming because of the way it is designed. You have to host and run your own instance or join someone else's instance. That is good because we, the users of Lemmy, own it but bad because we become very protectionists. We want to protect our instance from bad actors but some users take it to the extreme and protect the instance from people who aren't like them and think differently.

  • I send Lemmy some money every month. Not a lot but what I can. I'm also learning Rust and once I get confident I'll contribute. I like Lemmy and the fediverse in general.

  • I've been wanting to play these games for years. Years. I first got the games in like 2008 or 2009. I let my brother play the shit out of it on my PC but I never played. I was in college for engineering and couldn't get into it because of coursework. Then I played Skyrim for a decade...

    I have these games. I see them all the time on my Steam list. I just have a bunch of other games too.

  • I've noticed that many users in this thread are just angry that the average person doesn't take cybersecurity seriously. Blaming the user for using a weak password. I really don't understand how out of touch these Lemmy users are. The average person is not thinking of cybersecurity. They just want to be able to log into their account and want a password to remember. Most people out there are not techies, don't really use a computer outside of office work, and even more people only use a smartphone. Its on the company to protect user data because the company knows its value and will suffer from a breach.

  • I don't know title etiquette in this forum. I used the author's title because it is their article, not mine, and thus their opinion/research/AI output.

  • How am I spreading disinformation? I just contributed an article I found interesting for discussion.

  • I wish MediMonkey was on Linux...

  • I just have my music collection in Playlist and use Audacious to play them. All the music in the Playlist are saved in relative format so I can just copy the folders and keep the same Playlists

  • It means a little bit more than that. Mach 5 at sea level is usually when the properties of air changes into a plasma. The electrons are separated from their atoms creating an electrically charged plasma that the vehicle travels through. The speed where hypersonic is defined differs at higher altitude due to the composition of the fluid it travels through. I'll have to dig up some old textbooks to get a more accurate definition though.

    EDIT: The conventional rule of thumb is to define hypersonic aerodynamics as those flows where the Mach number is greater than 5 however that is no more than a rule of thumb. Hypersonic flow is best defined where certain physical phenomena become progressively more important as the Mach number is increased. In some cases these phenomena might become important above Mach 3, in other cases they are important above Mach 7. Example phenomena:

    • Thin shock layers
    • Entropy Layer: It's a region of strong vorticity and effects boundary layer calculations
    • Viscous Interaction
    • High Temperature flows
    • Low-Density flow

    I forgot to mention before the edit that the actual shape of the object traveling through the fluid also effects when the fluid becomes hypersonic due to it's interaction on the fluid (shocks, recapitulation, boundary layer interactions, etc.).

  • Man I'd love to have a way to get the right-wingers to just give me money without compromising my morals.

  • First off, I have not hurled any insults towards you. But let me explain what I mean when I said, "Just like Reddit." You pretty much are the example of Reddit's toxicity and social media's toxicity in general. Instead of just ignoring my original post or down-voting like a few have already you respond with straight negativity. "Stop bitching and go back to fucking reddit." (emphasis mine) Blah blah blah. Rage rage rage. That response is what I think of when Reddit comes to mind.

    Why are you so angry over a comment some random guy made over the internet? Actually I honestly don't care, whether you're having a bad day or have anger issues doesn't matter to me.

    Finally, you said that you explained why people like Lemmy I agree with the reason you stated, but you started with insults so fuck off.

  • This is what I mean. All you're doing is hurling insults. Maybe it is you who should return to Reddit.

  • Yeah Lemmy is just Reddit except it thinks it's cooler than Reddit because it's not Reddit.

  • This article is way back in 2020. Two douchebags went to the Supreme Court to stop the White House from forgiving debt.
