Good stuff!

Well even if it were intentional, that individual was dependent on the incompetence and they were right.

How good is hospital recovery?

Sure, there’s some cons, but you basically get a free card to game relentlessly, undisturbed, and guilt-free. Tragically, you eventually heal up and have to go back to being a normie.

This is what I do. As far as I’m concerned, there’s my password and then there’s the one that’s a last “are you sure?” step before I sudo fuck shit up.

Nah, his voice would still be annoying af to everyone there too. If Bob Marley is Jamaican, Jar Jar is the noise a balloon makes when you pinch the mouthpiece and let the air back out.

Yeah but it’s like the gearbox. While everything’s pulled apart, you may as well swap out the clutch, bearing, and flywheel too because they’ll need replacing again first. Especially if better versions of them are now supported.

I’ve just switched to KDE and it’s great, but it has about the same amount of cons as gnome.

I gave Cosmic a go recently and it’s great, but not quite ready yet. I think in a few updates time, I’ll be switching. It’s kind of like a cross-over of gnome and KDE and addresses a lot of the long standing pain points of both.

I’d do my job for free for a few days just to help people out (which I like doing) and there’s parts of it I enjoy.

But I like paddling down the river much more.

For most people, a paycheck is a business financially compensating them for the time lost and the effort done. The business is of no value to the employee otherwise. The compensation must be fair and worth their while, else the business will have to find someone worth what they’re willing to offer in compensation.

There’s just a lot of thought put in for the user. Excellent UI and productivity features, so much customisability. It’s super fast and light. Then there’s built in blockers, VPN, all the usual. To top it all off, it’s made by a small group of Norwegians that hate corporate control and love an open and free internet. They even have their own fediverse instances.

After I had spent an hour going down the rabbit hole of tweaking every UI element so the browser was now my browser, I was hooked. I still have to use Firefox at work, but I now find it intrusive, sluggish, and crude. I also hate having to restart it for updates lol.

I prefer Edge over Chrome, and if I had to choose one, Edge is definitely better. But gladly I don’t have to choose one and never will. Been with Vivaldi for years after switching off FF.

Yeah but they don’t have the money to introduce quality governance into this. So the brain trust of Reddit it is. Which explains why LLMs have gotten all weirdly socially combative too; like two neckbeards having at it—Google skill vs Google skill—is a rich source of A+++ knowledge and social behaviour.

Sounds like a line dancing move.

Cowgirls do the dosey dee!

Cowboys do the dozy don!

Spin around and heel on three!

Rock it back, now 1, 2, 3! heel click!

YEEEEHAW!! 🤠🎻💤

I’m a follower and just go with Corsair Vengeance. Hasn’t ever let me down.

I think all my SSDs are Samsung. Nvme are Kingston and so I like to think they have thick Jamaican accents, mon. No issues with any of it and some of that storage is getting real old.

Thing with PC parts is it’s worth paying a bit more for quality. Ends up being much cheaper in the long term.

Is she aware of what protein in the diet is for and how it works? Ot is she having expensive poops?

I thought we exited this phase quite a few years back. Has it made a return? Are there wheat cereals advertising protein that’ll shit straight out of me because I do zero exercise again?

Third dimension isn’t up, it’s just not X or Y. We just say “height” or synonyms for it because we say “length and width” for X and Y, even though all axis are just length between vectors proceeding in order of being able to exist, X, Y, then Z.

If you are plotting your perspective, it will run on entirely different coordinates to an object’s coordinates, i.e. Camera vs Object stricture. But in most arts and all math, we tend to model the object and it’s values which we create and assign to it as attributes, not with values of how it should look from various perspectives.

I think that’s the confusion. You could get used to the Z being treated as Y, but it’s incomparable with everything else and you’d have to now confirm with other’s that length and width are X and Z and extrusions from 2D plane are Y. This doesn’t occur much anywhere else. This is the whole premise behind the meme. Arguing between standards when one is universal, the other is niche but those that have only learned the niche one are adamant the universal one is wrong.

No. That is not my logic. It’s the logic of Rene Descartes who invented the thing you are trying to talk about.

And because gaslighting attempts online are hilarious, I’ll assume you just didn’t read so good and will repeat myself again; we tend to rest the plane on the floor, as it is in our reality with gravity it is easier to conceive. Like modelling a car, it’s wheels on the screen spend most of the time pointed down.

You don’t have to. You can model it any direction you want, but most people find it easy in an orientation that mimics common perspective. But however you do it, you still can’t have a Z axis without a plane. That’s the point. Grid is plane and plane is needed for Z. If you have a grid on Z it’s representing an infinitely possible slice through extrusion and that’s basically a concept behind some fractals, which introduces a new vector for new XYZ points within.

I know you really want to be right but this is very long-standing foundational and basic stuff we just do. It isn’t my logic or opinion, I’m sharing this knowledge to you, something you can very easily look up yourself right now and forget I even exist—which would be neat.

You’re mixing up perspective with the object’s actual coordinates system. The “left-right-up-down” are your perspective or computer screen and do not define the axes of the object itself. The object has its own.

If I rotate a map on a table, it’s X and Y don’t suddenly flip. The coordinates belong to the object, I’m just viewing them from a different perspective now.

In mathematics, the Z axis only exists because it’s defined as being perpendicular to an existing plane (the plane X and Y form). The gridlines represent that plane and Z’s extrusion values reference it. Your perspective or viewing angle don’t influence these coordinates at all.

Commonly we face the XY plane down as it’s “floor”. We build things from the ground up. We draw from top down. It’s just how gravity brought the standard around. You can flip it however you want, though. But if you see a grid, that’s a plane and Z is extrusion off that.

I know Z as upward. X and Y were always on the base plane representing length and width. Z comes in being all like, “Now we’re being 3D!”

So wherever the “floor” is, represented with gridlines, boundary, canvas, etc. that’s where they live. That is Flatland where there is no up or down. It is 2D where most of my work is. If you try tell me Y is Z, I’d ask “wtf is a Z?”

And no one is suspicious if I sit in a car outside their home for 7 hours. Eventually crawling away with a tyre squeal.
