  • Outside of the hard sciences where youre there to learn necessary specific foundational knowledge and technical stuff - mech/elec/civil engineering, high level medical, etc - it really doesn't. The degree is proof that you can put your head down and manage yourself well enough to survive in the white collar world.

  • It's not so much about browsing on steam decks. It's about the technical improvements Valve has brought to Linux gaming compatibility that has now made full Linux conversion without a Windows dual-boot for gaming (and many other Windows programs) a true reality. Once people don't have to reboot every time they want to start a game they'll stay in Linux full time.

  • this just in: actually spending money on QA allows you to put out a higher quality product

  • Except you've actually changed nothing. Apple forces all third party browsers on their devices to use WebKit (the Safari engine) for the backend, so really all changing browsers does is give you a reskin under Apple's thumb.

  • It won't fix the spam problem if stuff goes south though with things like repost bots. That's a lot of excess traffic. OP definitely should host their own instance.

  • Yes. Host your own Lemmy instance. It's not that hard and can be run locally with no federation.

  • Wait until you find out op is posting it seriously and not ironically

  • Technically a base 1 system cannot exist (effectively), because it would mean you were counting from zero (nothing). All base systems for real "math" have to index from null. You couldn't even count using 0, 00, 000, 0000 because how would you know if the first 0 indicated actually zero, or was it the first item? You could only identify it by the absence of all marks, which doesn't work in math or any modern setting.

    Number systems are weird. I hate math sometimes.

  • What in the manufactured persecution fetish is this bullshit? Where's the meme?

  • If 4 did not exist, then you would be using a base-4 quarternary numbering system (which is able to use the numbers 0,1,2,3)

    The system will be similar to how our base 10 numbers work, but instead of counting to 9 before adding a trailing zero and becoming 10, you would count to 3. So 2 plus 2 would roll past 3, and equal 10.

  • $900 a year to become a functional human seems like a killer deal ngl

    I spend more than 900 a year on way more stupid shit

  • And then they took the shitposting away too because idiots can't behave.

  • That kind of built up history is exactly what keeps Reddit relevant though. It's been the go-to place for so long that it stays just because it is where all the content is. And now with LLM's any content you leave is going to get turned into a chatGPT bot to generate fake engagement for their ad numbers.

  • I reported extremely obvious spam repost bots and also got a permaban for "abusing reports". Fuck em, they want rhe garbage content to overrun their site, they're gonna get it.

  • No, no- it's the design engineer who is clearly wrong.

  • I mean, you joke, but environmental pollution (lead) levels and certain nutritional deficits have a scientifically measurable effect on mental health disorder rates and general intelligence.

    The use of leaded gasoline put a huge amount of environmental lead into our living spaces and breathing air. When it was completely phased out in the 1970's and environmental exposure dropped, murder rates dropped by the 1990s in what's known as the lead-crime hypothesis, where childhood exposure to lead of any level alters development negatively.

  • Depends where you live. Areas with a smaller craft brew scene do end up with the "nothing but IPA" problem. But where I live in the PNW there's simply so damn many that even with 50% of them being IPA's, you still get a huge selection of other pilsners, stouts, amber ales, hefenweizens... its pretty nice.

  • It should be fine, yes. I can do that on my current AMD rig fine.

    What graphics card? Monitor specs?

    Depending on the age of your hardware (and cables), it may not be supported over HDMI. Real HDR support was only enabled with HDMI 2.0a in 2015. If you have an older GPU such as a Nvidia 900 series, then it does not support enough bandwidth over HDMI for hdr at higher resolutions. And even having too old a cable can ruin HDR support too, as it will not meet the standards necessary for HDMI2.0a+ and may fall back to slower signal rates.
