cobra89, to memes in I'm so good at time management that I hardly work at all

The point is to normalize not working extra hours so companies stop expecting it. It’s not anti-worker at all.

cobra89, to piracy in I just realized /c/piracy is the most subscribed community in the lemmyverse!

I can see the headlines from shitty tech news websites now: “What is lemmy? A platform mostly where crooks go to find content to illegally download.”

Or something equally ridiculous.

cobra89, to food in Nonalcoholic Beer Is Booming. Here Are the Ones to Try.

From the article:

Most breweries use one of just a few basic options for production, each of which comes with its own set of considerations. There’s dealcoholization through evaporation, aka vacuum distillation, in which beer is heated and distilled to remove the ethanol. Dealcoholization via reverse osmosis, meanwhile, uses membranes to separate the alcohol from the rest of the liquid. The former method can strip some desirable flavor compounds, and both options are a financial stretch for smaller craft breweries.

Emphasis on the last line. So yeah it does add some significant cost. Which is why they resort to cold-contact brewing which can result in worty/bready taste as the article notes. So if you want good NA beer yeah, it’s more expensive probably because they’re using all the same ingredients and then doing the extra process. Obviously there won’t be the alcohol tax though.

cobra89, to linux in Gentoo goes Binary (packages)

Isn’t the reason everyone says they use Gentoo is because of “all the optimisations” but if you’re not compiling for your specific hardware doesn’t that go out the window?

cobra89, to linux in KDE's Nate Graham On X11 Being A Bad Platform & The Wayland Future

Uh reading the article, pretty sure the author would phrase it as “Nvidia GPUs don’t support Wayland yet” and that author would be absolutely right.

Gnome is the desktop environment. You may have gnome already installed if that’s what your OS uses, otherwise you probably have KDE. There are others but those are the 2 big ones.

The Desktop Environment is what gives the OS its look, and typically which GUI programs are installed by default.

cobra89, to news in Russia bans anti-war candidate from challenging Putin

Putin is desperate to restore Russia to its former USSR glory. That’s why he wants Ukraine so badly.

cobra89, to fuck_cars in 8 lanes in one direction

If that counts as 8 lanes in the same direction, does this count as 10? Gov Alfred E. Driscoll Brg maps.app.goo.gl/BgwtjaQtns2EMf6g7

On the Garden State Parkway in NJ it’s one of the widest bridges in the world.

cobra89, to memes in 6÷2(1+2)

While I agree the problem as written is ambiguous and should be written with explicit operators, I have 1 argument to make. In pretty much every other field if we have a question the answer pretty much always ends up being something along the lines of “well the experts do this” or “this professor at this prestigious university says this”, or “the scientific community says”. The fact that this article even states that academic circles and “scientific” calculators use strong juxtaposition, while basic education and basic calculators use weak juxtaposition is interesting. Why do we treat math differently than pretty much every other field? Shouldn’t strong juxtaposition be the precedent and the norm then just how the scientific community sets precedents for literally every other field? We should start saying weak juxtaposition is wrong and just settle on one.

This has been my devil’s advocate argument.

To all the people who want to vote third party or withhold their vote, please tell me, when had that ever effected change?

This idea that if you hold your vote or vote 3rd party you’re gonna teach the establishment a lesson is laughable. No, the system will go on without you and you’ll just have even less of a voice/decision in the direction of our country.

There is a reason certain people work so hard to tell you your vote doesn’t matter. You’re all falling for it.

Edit: If you don’t like the candidates you have to choose from then go out and vote in the primaries because there’s about a 90% chance you’re not doing that.

cobra89, (edited ) to programmer_humor in what's the difference?

Git = bittorrent

GitHub = the pirate bay

Code = content

Even that’s not the perfect analogy but it’s better than the OP.

cobra89, to risa in If you can find them....

Great Scott!

cobra89, (edited ) to piracy in Sony is going to remove certain purchased titles from user libraries

Did anyone actually read the link? Everyone in the thread is talking like they pulled video games. They literally only pulled Disney TV content from like 20 years ago. Now of course that’s still crappy but stuff like this has happened for TV content before and it won’t be the last time this happens.

We can freak out when they actually do this to video games and not some 20 year old awful reality TV content no one watched anyway.

cobra89, to programmer_humor in Programmer tries to explain binary search to the police

I fuckin hate cops as much as the next person but people love to spout this fact, but there is literally only 1 police department ever that has been documented doing this, and it was the one police department in Connecticut.

However the court did in fact rule it was legal, yes.

But the way everyone talks about it you’d think this was some super widespread policy that many departments use. And as far as I can tell there’s only ever been the 1 example. It’s the same case that every single article about it refers to.

cobra89, to memes in At least you didn’t post it

I just do the opposite and start wronging a comment.
