Right. 1F = 1C/1V … they could have just as easily said 1kF = 1C/1V. Many things use kg instead of g. You can tie together things other than the unscaled base units. Then they are still tied together but 1F is a more reasonable amount.

Depending on the UI/app you use for Lemmy, you may only be able to pick languages you have set on your profile (My mobile app lets me pick any language, but the default web UI (shown above) only shows languages on my profile).
I agree. The best part of the fediverse is the diversity.
However, for someone who doesn’t speak this language, having it marked as English
content is not helpful. Would be very nice to have content properly tagged as the actual language it is in, so that users can opt to see content in languages they understand, would be great.
I don’t have a language filter on, so this wouldn’t affect me, but language tags and filters exist for this very purpose, so it would be nice to see them properly used.
We just don’t make tech for old people the way we should.
My mother in law says things like “Wow, your son is just so good with computers.” She was impressed at how “tech savvy” he was because he was able to change the brightness on her phone for her so she could show him a picture better.
A lot of our UIs are built for absolute no-thinking usability. How would you propose changing the brightness on a phone that would make it more “old people friendly”. It’s not a matter of difficulty. She just doesnt remember these things, and a different flow may not necessarily be remembered either.
And I’m not saying its her fault or that she’s bad because of it. She was raised learning how to do and remember things a certain way and that has necessarily changed over the years.
A phone can do a lot of things, so unless you want to have 100 apps on your home screen, you’ll have to group some together. For instance, putting WiFi into a Settings app. Having every individual setting just available on the home screen potentially complicates things even worse by being overwhelming.
Genuinely curious how you think things like this could be redesigned to be more old people friendly.
That is his entire resume though. It’s not a “back in college” thing when you are fresh out of college.
I’m so impressed by what the jellyfin roku team has come up with over the years.
To help you better understand, the way I see it, every time I do something that financially benefits <Company>, I assume I am giving money to the executives/owners/etc.
For example, if I spend $30 on a Harry Potter book, I assume JK Rowling gets $0.10 of that (i dont know how it works, but lets assume), and she spends a substantial portion of her income on anti-trans rights. If we assume anywhere near 10%, then me giving her 10 cents is the same as donating 1 cent to anti-trans rights. Is Harry Potter a good enough book that I am willing to donate money to hate groups to obtain it? Personally no. Other people may look at it and say “It’s only $0.01, and I really like the story!” and think it is worth it. That’s up to you where your threshold is for when the good outweighs the bad.
Contributing legitimacy to something can financially benefit it. Even if I never spend any money on Firefox (for example), user metrics allow them to make bargains with Google to get more money in exchange for default search status. So me using Firefox gets money for Mozilla. And if Mozilla was spending that money on hate groups, I wouldn’t want to be involved in that.
Yes, I am aware that basically every company out there is super shitty. And giving money or support to almost any major corporation is basically funding hate groups in some way. But when the CEO is loudly outspoken about these things, I’d very much rather just swap to a brand that at least isn’t outwardly proud of it’s stupidity. Unless the other options are just as bad and I need a thing: if my local ISP was run by murderers, I still need internet. That’s not something I’m willing to compromise on. But I do have other choices in browsers and Brave doesn’t have any features I can’t live without.
So to answer your question: it does not reflect on the product quality, but it does impact how much quality I demand from a product.
Brave might be a fine browser, but the CEO is infamously anti-LGBTQ and was anti-mask during the pandemic. And the whole crypto-coin association and injecting affiliate links into search results… Everything about Brave makes me want to avoid Brave. Is there anything magical about it that make it any different than other chromium browsers that makes it worth supporting right wing crypto bros?
Nano… Like… The one that has all the keybinds permanently shown at the bottom of the screen?
If the CPU clocks are dropping to ~200-300 MHz while the temps are 40-45C (like in the screenshot) then it’s not thermal throttling. The clockspeed would go back up when the temps go down. And it would only throttle enough to keep the temps under the desired temp.
I would investigate what performance profile the CPU is using.
There is a tool called cpupower
that will list out all the information about the CPU clock states.
I have a Ryzen CPU so the desired governor is going to be different than an Intel laptop, but for example, the output of cpupower frequency-info
for me:
analyzing CPU 13:
driver: amd-pstate-epp
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 13
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 13
energy performance preference: balance_performance
hardware limits: 600 MHz - 5.76 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 2.98 GHz and 5.76 GHz.
The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency: 4.39 GHz (asserted by call to kernel)
boost state support:
Supported: yes
Active: yes
amd-pstate limits:
Highest Performance: 166. Maximum Frequency: 5.76 GHz.
Nominal Performance: 124. Nominal Frequency: 4.30 GHz.
Lowest Non-linear Performance: 86. Lowest Non-linear Frequency: 2.98 GHz.
Lowest Performance: 18. Lowest Frequency: 600 MHz.
Preferred Core Support: 1. Preferred Core Ranking: 231.
Which you can see lists the hardware clock range, the current governor’s policy frequency range, the actual current CPU frequency, and how it picks different frequency ranges.
I used to use cpupower on an old laptop to force it into the performance governor, because it would not clock up high enough without it. This obviously does negatively affect battery life, but i was plugged in most of the time anyway.
But either way, look into cpupower for determining the governor/power profile and also figuring out which governor you should actually be using.
Based on the only comparison we have, the OP is twice the age of their sister. so the sister is now 44/2, or 22. Easy problem.
The entire joke is that every organ has a purpose, and the purpose of your brain is to make bad decisions.

Javascript and Python both happily accept either format from the string and convert it into a float they are happy with.
In theory, “in theory” and “in practice” have the same results, but in practice, they often differ.
Communication is explicitly a more than one person endeavor. If the other party isn’t willing or able to use signal, then sms might be the required option. Signal removed their SMS functionality from their app.
There are perfectly valid reasons to use Google messages instead of signal.

even if you can figure out specifically WHAT a function does, it’s not always clear WHY a function does, and honestly, if this function wasnt labeled in the code, no way in hell would I know what it does.
It has an entire wiki page dedicated to explaining it, and it involves enough math that most people wouldn’t be able to follow along.
Nothing this atrocious lives in any current codebases I work on… but if you work at an old enough company, some of the load-bearing code will be tricky to figure out what is calling it, but also it was written in a time where little hacks were needed to eke out performance.
You only have to experience it once for it to be a memorable enough thing that you will cite it for the rest of your days.
Or more realistically, it IS comprehensible, but the level of effort necessary to comprehend it is not worth it. So you leave it as “undecipherable” and move on.
I believe the number is now closer to $110k and even then you are one major hospital visit from being back on the problems train.
The trick is to make more money, but don’t live like you do. Just save the money. And then be able to retire young with millions in the bank
The hard part is that point moves. I have very few problems. And insurance covers some things (supposedly). But if my spouse died and I suddenly had to throw child care into the mix, and changing my schedule to be the one that takes them to/from school… I could easily wind up where new problems form. I thought I had enough money, but I only had enough money for the specific circumstances
