That’s not how brackets work?

Penguin Wars

Fwiw Linux is way easier today than it was a million years ago. Honestly I find it simpler to use than Windows.

They can connect via USB so you can do things like perform a clean shutdown when it loses power

The fediverse is basically anything that uses some means of connecting to other sites. A lot of them now use ActivityPub, a standard for this kind of thing.

Mastodon isn’t “on” Lemmy, but they can communicate with each other

There’s a size larger: the subcontrabass sax

Finger. Exercise.

I’m in the process of doing so now

Computers are binary, yeah? So we have to represent fractional numbers with binary, too.

In decimal, numbers past the decimal point are 10^-1, 10^-2, … etc. In binary, they’re 2^-1, 2^-2, …

2^-1 is one half, so 0.1 in binary is 0.5 in decimal. 2^-2 is one quarter. 0.11 in binary is 0.75 in decimal. And of course you’ve got 0.01 = 0.25

The problem comes when representing decimal numbers that don’t have neat binary representations. For instance, 0.1 in decimal is actually a repeating binary number: 0.0001100110011…

Fun fact: NaN is of type number

Personal example: I once asked on the linguistics subreddit why desceiptivist linguistics were preferred to prescriptivist and was downvoted to hell and back. The only replies were to call me a racist. I never got an answer, and I still don’t know. So voting is not the end-all be-all of forum mechanics.

I’mma have to call bullshit here, unless there just so happened to be a different person using the name quindraco on Reddit who asked this very question.

• Your question was answered.
• You may have gotten downvotes, but it was certainly not “to hell and back” – your post is currently sitting at +18.
• Not a single person called you racist, even after you compared descriptivism to literal genocide.

That just looks 3d printed on a textured sheet

The article itself makes the connection:

As the 2024 presidential campaign ramps up, concern is quickly rising that such images might be used to spread false information.

Though, I guess shame on us for expecting better journalism these days.

The solution is … Embed a watermark when the image is generated? How will that help stop deliberate disinformation created with other tools

I did not do any of the side quests as having to redo a bunch of stuff sounds terrible.

This is a game that’s really about the sidequests. They’re so important that there’s a mandatory (iirc) part to get a notebook to help you track them.

That sounds like bird photography is the problem. Bird watching is still pretty cheap. Just enjoy the experience of watching birds in the moment; you don’t have to capture it for later.

Okay, so generally the way it works is you have some app (e.g. Google Authenticator, 1password, Aegis, Bit warden – anything that supports TOTP). When you enable 2FA for a site, it’ll give you a QR code. You scan that with your app and then the app gives you a six digit code that changes every 30 seconds.

The QR code is really just an easy way to get a long string of characters into your app, though, and if the QR code doesn’t work there should be an option to see the raw code and manually enter it.

You enter that code in once to confirm that you have actually set up the 2FA. Then it will show you a list of recovery codes. It’ll only show you these once; it doesn’t store them anywhere. You need to note them down in whatever way suits you best (I print mine; you could also just write them down). You cannot see these again. The best you can do, if you still have access to your account, is generate new ones (probably by disabling and re-enabling 2FA)

Now, whenever you login, you’ll be asked for your authenticator code (much like an SMS). You just open whatever app you used and enter in whatever code it’s currently showing (remember it’s time based).

If your authenticator app gets messed up somehow, you can recover it using your recovery codes.

Spokes. Via “bespoke”

I’m bad at naming things.

Print off your recovery codes and keep them safe. If you want to be extra, hammer them into metal plates like the crypto weirdos do.

It can be… But others can monetize it too
