Being comfortable with algebra is kinda essential, however you probably won’t make much use of calculus unless you go into certain parts of the industry such as game development.

Practice makes perfect though, you may suck at maths today, but there’s nothing stopping you from getting better at it if you work at it

Ikr, people clearly have short memories.

I’m sorry that people don’t like it, but it is what it is; denial of this only helps the fuckos using it that way

I’ve just replied to you elsewhere, but dude

This is not censorship

This is one regular person telling another regular person that they might accidentally be doing something racists do as a shibboleth

I didn’t come up with this, they did

I would love this to not be the case, but it’s just naïve to ignore the reality of the shitheads that are out there

Their whole thing is existing in the grey area between harmony and incongruity

This breaks many games

I don’t think Nazis are actively using every acronym, c’mon you know that’s silly.

They use this one though.

It’s like saying 1844 isn’t a bad number, because numbers aren’t bad—unfortunately more often than not, when you see it, it’s not used innocently.

I always find it mad as hell that Americans have to pay tax in the US even if they are living and earning elsewhere

Especially given generally Americans are pretty allergic to reasonable taxation

Well I’m happy for you, but that doesn’t change that Nazis are using it as a dog whistle. And FWIW I’m unfortunate enough to know it’s not even a particularly niche one—it’s been pretty popular with edgelords for a few years now

Far Right Ethno Nationalist

I know it’s very likely innocent

But “fren” will always be a huge red flag parade for me

Basically in my experience, when it comes to smart lights it’s generally just worth springing the extra for Philips Hue (and using the hub, not just in Bluetooth mode) unless you want to waste your time and money with other brands. Nothing else seems to be remotely as reliable and easy to work with—and I have zero patience for having to perform tech support on my house lighting.

I’m glad to hear you got your bulbs working though

Okay cool, but what about the games you’ve already had out for like a year?

Like, idk, ff7r2 on PC?

Lotta greek mythology/philosophy on lemmy this week…

What’s going on

Well I’m glad someone has done this so everyone else can see for sure that this is a dead idea

That thumbnail lol

Okay but what if you use emoji in your password?

Everything about the Gingko tree is pretty cool

Politics is not just the relationship between two people, it’s the relationship between a person and everyone/everything else in the world.

Reducto ad absurdum: would you suggest a world where every country is at war with everyone else would foster a better environment for global FOSS collaboration than one where the world was at complete peace?

I honestly thought the statement you quoted was entirely uncontroversial. “Healthy” and “global” being the key words, I’m not saying it’s a requirement for FOSS to exist in general or anything.

It’s a fact of life that politics permeates everything, nothing is in isolation of the political climate it exists within.

The state of the world today is a function of the politics that got us here, a big change in world politics can have dramatic and far reaching effects.

A healthy global FOSS culture requires collaborative politics to be the flavour of the day—which is unfortunately not the case in a lot of countries currently.

Used a physical board in my last job before COVID

Can’t really do stand up when none of you are in the office to move the cards
