Does it matter? Endlessly pontificating about the true nature of reality serves no purpose. If I’m driving and I’m about to hit a tree, reality doesn’t give a single fuck if I consider “well maybe the tree isn’t really there. How can I truly know?”

Like, I was talking with a guy and he was saying shit about how can we truly know that what I say is the color green is the same as what you see? It just feels mastubatory. It’s what words are for. If that guy asks me to go to the store and buy forest green paint from a certain brand and I come back with forest green paint from that brand he’s not going to worry about whether or not we see the exact same shade.

I know. I was just saying that the American in the pic is only puzzled because they are mindlessly scrolling and posting on Twitter. When the time comes to go to an event like that they are also just as likely to take the train without much thought to it either

No one is puzzled. This was a case of someone casually scrolling and commenting without critical thought. Which, let’s be honest, we are all guilty of that and the other guy taking the opportunity to dunk with an AmEriCa Am I rIgHt???

We are Canada’s pants.

Ah. The forgotten lands, according to some maps.

The antenna looking piece of wire is the ground so it doesn’t matter if it picks up anything.

Zelda BotW and TotK are not fun. The stamina system is pointless and the weapon durability is frustrating. On top of that, the world’s are just sooo empty. There’s really nothing in them. Oh look, an interesting ruin… it’s another repetitive shrine. Oh, that geological formation is really unique aaannnddd it’s another fucking korok seed. That’s all you ever got for exploring. Shrines and korok seeds.

I did like slapping random shit onto my weapons in tears of the kingdom though. All in all to me the games are fine but not really Zelda games.

Nah, just an affront to nature and an abomination in the eyes of God.

And it did. It started with coaxial. The fact that ethernet is now largely used in conjunction with UTP or STP doesn’t add much when talking about the Ethernet protocol itself.

To be pedantic: Ethernet is a protocol so mentioning the medium used outside of a historical context is kinda irrelevant.

How it actually works is that the IRS doesn’t known how much you need to pay. You provide your income and taxes already paid throughout the year then the IRS says “yeah, looks about right for what you made” or here’s money back you paid to much or didn’t pay enough. It only gets complicated when you have huge amounts of money.

What a wonderful website. All it needs is flames.gif and a link to a page that has little barricades on it that says “Under construction”

I blame my love of high fantasy on the Xanth series. First it was Xanth, then it was Redwall, now it’s my preferred form of escapism.

A pass key is the private key in a private/public key pair. The private key is stored in the TPM on your device. The website contains the public key. When you use your “one password” you’re in effect giving your device permission to access the key storage in your TPM to fetch the private key to present it to the site.

What this means in practice is that if a website has a data breach they won’t have your hashed password, only your public key which… is public. It doesn’t and can’t do anything on its own. It needs the private key, which again only you have and the website doesn’t store, to do anything at all.

If you want to read more about it look into cryptographic key pairs. Pretty neat how they work.

Not really. If they schedule oil changes every 6 months the mileage check is to see if they should also schedule like a transmission check so you don’t have to keep coming back

I’m actually the opposite. I’ve tried using Lemmy and I still do to an extent but I dunno. I love the feel of kbin

It’s a name he adopted while living in Paris, according to Greg Sestero.

Right, but what they are saying is that the relevant law does not address LGBT people either.

The time warp only works if you take a jump to the left.

I think you kind of missed the forest for the trees here. Those 20 command lines that run in the background will take the same amount of time to complete each task as manually entering them, sure. But the benefit is that you take less time to overall because I don’t care how fast you are with typing, you still have to enter 20 commands instead of just the 4 buttons.
