No actually. Due to Jupiter, the centre of mass of the solar system is actually very slightly outside of the sun

He means Apartheid

That one went so far that south Africa is the only country to voluntarily unilateraly give up its nuclear arsenal when a minority risked getting to power

Did he edit his comment? The current version doesn't accuse Altman of any felony

No, this should be an instance sticky since it significantly affects all members of an instance. Community stickiies are easy to overlook

I feel like this questionnaire is missing one rather obvious path:

I'm not using Lemmy because I prefer it over Reddit in any way. It has more technical problems, it lacks the niche communities that Reddit is famous for, the community is more toxic and rather extremists, and it is a splintered mess

However,

It's not really a matter of choice. I simply can't browse Reddit on mobile anymore. I'm not blind or anything, but the official app is simply not useable at all. Even the FOSS POS apps of Lemmy are better, and that's saying something

It's not a matter of preference. It's a matter of necessity

Coin

Look, the glasses are nice and all, but they don't give you a 50% change to win the lottery and randomly realise a way to prove/disprove the Riemann hypothesis every two weeks

I wonder how this works with elections. In my country, the votes are counted within 12 hours. When I'm voting on a party, I am attempting to make said party the largest one. Does the coin just give me a 50% chance to unilaterally decide my government every election cycle?

Edit: oh shit, it's not 50% chance, but 100% after it came into effect once. The first time it lands on heads, try to guess the next flip's outcome by guessing it would be heads. Since the coin is in effect, this guess is correct, even though the next coin will only be flipped in two weeks

In other words, the coin just gives you reality warping for halve a day every two weeks

Multiplying with q negative does genuinely correspond to a 180° rotation around the origin in the complex plane (plus a scalar multiplication of course)

I'm either missing context, or the joke is going over my head

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic

The names and colours of the different rarities are quite standard and way older than fortnite

I'm more worried about quintupling my inventory clutter, and ratios getting out of wack if you're not keeping a close watch

Horror should still be nsfl

It is getting better though. We are all just facing the issues of our era's.

Tech keeps going up, we are slowly making progress on climate change, the space race is back on, and superpowers don't directly fight eachother anymore. Hell, we've proven to beat once in a century pandemics in a few years with relatively speaking barely any deaths. Life's good

Yes, we have squabbles in the middle east and Africa, but that's par for the course and not an indicator for human development. The only thing that has really gone backwards is that war has been brought back to europe

Yeah, but it's a sustainable model that allows for longtime development and product lifetime. It's also completely voluntary since base + utopia + synthetic dawn are 85% of all worthwhile content on their own

Like, microtransactions are garbage, but the industry has shifted to a point where you're out if you don't have a long term payment model. The paradox model at least puts a cap on what the whales can pay, and actually gives them more content in return.

It's the least bad model out there. At least for companies too big to pull a factorio/terraria

So it says "world book"?

There is nothing childish about snow. Especially since in some parts of the world, we're the last generation that gets to enjoy it at all

Any xkcd with beret guy is a good one

Yeah, the ASCII characters are at least trying to pretend that we aren't slowly regressing back to hieroglyphics

Healthy optimism

Pretty sure the joke is aimed at cubesats

Let's be real here, it's the second one
