I wanna see someone make a midwit meme for Magic the Gathering about the card bloodmoon. The card says "nonbasic lands are mountains." The idiot would think this turns them into the basic land card called mountain. The genius will know how it actually works, of course. But the midwit would say that it doesn't take abilities away because it just changes the card's subtype, which doesn't inherently remove abilities in general, but for basic lands it does.

But even then it's a stretch because the midwit in the example would have to be a very narrow slice of the chart. Obviously bloodmoon negatively affects opponents or it wouldn't see play. Nobody in their right mind is gonna think it buffs cards if they know what it is used for. But still, I remember it tripping me up in a "but wait, why does it do what it does?" way.

No, the best you can do is, if you want people to know your new one, is edit your profile now with a link to your new account. Because your old posts and profile won't be gone when lemm.ee is gone.

If you count kbin as Lemmy then I think that counts. Head dev ran into health problems.

I'd expand it to electromagnetic fields or something instead of just electricity.

You're okay 💜

I totally get your point, and sometimes it seems like that. Why not just use a coordinate system? Because in some applications the complex roots of equations is relevant.

If you square an imaginary number, it's no longer an imaginary number. Now it's a real number! That's not something you can accomplish with something like a pair of numbers alone.

I don't want this future!

...I want her to keep me on a leash instead. It's- it's totally different!

The phrase "donut mathematics" was not in your earlier comment. You literally did not name it.

I get a little pink from being outside for like ~20 minutes. That's not really hubris lol.

Lemmy is social media, but when people say "social media" they're typically referring to one of two things. They either mean all social media including legacy forums or they mean media that is directly tied to their real names.

It's funny that you're saying this is "actively suppressed" while not naming this field or providing links for further readings.

RSA mostly uses 4096 bit keys nowadays. DSA is no longer used (or shouldn't be lol). Ed25519 uses 256 bit keys.

I am pretty sure that the first thing you mentioned (multiplying being easy and factoring being hard) is the basis of public key cryptography which is how HTTPS works.

It's imaginary numbers. Full stop. No debate about it. The idea of them is so wild that they were literally named imaginary numbers to demonstrate how silly they were, and yet they can be used to describe real things in nature.

I thought it was clear I was mocking the people who had a problem with that aspect.

I'm not actually losing sleep over the penny lol

Here comes the dog, strong and brave, WOOF!
