Anyone who claims to know the answer is either delusional or deliberately lying. Nobody really knows what the future holds.

Same, that part was really annoying

CrossCode, great characters and great story. Really good game.

To shreds, you say?

My father always said: "It's better to be rich and healthy than poor and sick."

The world is unfair in that way and we should remember that.

You do realize you can still count up to 5 with your fingers even if we used a different numeral system? So you would signal in the exact same way that you do now. Or you know, just shout or something? How often do you need to signal a small number from a distance?

Absolute mad lad

How in the world would you sort posts?

Actually you can count to 12 quite neatly on one hand. Simply take your thumb and place it on the bottom segment of your little finger. Excluding your thumb, you have 12 segments on your fingers.

As you count, move your thumb up one segment, switching to the next finger when you reach the top. This way you can count to 12 on one hand.

But if you use that term, don't say what I said isn't true.

Interesting that you said you didn't downvote me and then the downvote from PieFed I saw just before is gone hehe

Piefed's experimental mechanism isn't truly anonymous. For instance I'm pretty sure you're the downvote from PieFed on my comment.

You can still figure out who is behind votes by examining the proxy voting actors and their voting patterns. But it's probably close enough.

If you wanted to share only an aggregate with other instances, that would require activitypub changes.

I think it would work fine as an emoji though.

This is a legacy from the past of typewriters. Please never do this.

See my explanation here https://feddit.dk/comment/9990034

12 has more prime factors than 10. 12 has 2, 3, 4 and 6. 10 only has 2 and 5. This also means that thirds and quarters are much easier to do everyday maths on and those fractions are much more common than fifths.

For example, in base 10, a third is 0.33333..., going infinitely. But in base 12, a third is just 0.4. The times table for 2, 3, 4 and 6 is also much easier.

Tau makes much more sense than pi because it is based on the radius of the circle rather than the diameter. The radius is the more fundamental property of the circle. You'll actually see 2pi appear in many formulas. See also https://tauday.com/tau-manifesto

We should all be using the 12 numeral system instead of 10 numerals and we should use tau instead of pi.

But for some it is Mastodon or Mbin or PieFed or whatever. It shouldn't be specific to lemmy.

It shouldn't be lemmy specific. Lemmy is just one fediverse app.

Huh that makes a lot more sense actually. Not sure why I never realized that.

I think also the use of the word "server" instead of "instance", but it's quite a small semantic nitpick.
