In his defense he put in hella hours to get it where it is. I agree he should give more feedback though. He was MIA when someone pinged him in the discord about the breaking changes of 19 and he chimed in and updated it. I was active in the discord and was in the closed beta. He did a LOT of work around the clock. Here’s to hoping he comes back with more frequent (even if minor) updates.

To be fair, he is dead inside

🍿🛋️ Ok, let’s hear them.

I have friends that claim they “don’t have hobbies” but the truth is that they spend all their time with their kids and working.

So if they say, “well I don’t do much in the way of hobbies because I’m too busy working and taking care of my kids.” You can then follow up with “well what do you do for work?” Or “what’s the last vacation or outing you did with your kids?” Or “what are your kids interested in? How old are they? Tell me about their personalities.”

The fact that they “don’t have hobbies” isn’t necessarily it backfiring, you then just need to pivot based on their answers. This is just a way to break the ice with someone.

Everyone spends their days doing things, you are really just asking them “how do you spend your time?” Everyone has an answer to that…unless they are in a coma.

I mean what Discords do you participate in? What Lemmy communities do you follow? What videos on YouTube do you like to watch?

You can reframe this and say, “I like to participate in online chat forums about the latest gaming news and technology (discord). I look for cool recipes and cooking techniques (Lemmy cooking community). And I love trying to find new funny comedians to listen to (YouTube).” I think if you narrow it down to the interests you enjoy, rather than “dicking around online” you’ll find that you have interesting things to talk about.

Obviously those examples are my own, but I’m sure you use those platforms because they feed you certain content that you enjoy.

So what do you like to do for fun? Or, What are some of your hobbies?

I find these much better than “so what do you do for work?”, which is what I’m asked constantly. “Yes, person who I don’t know, let me discuss work during my free time with you.”

Always Alone April

Fair enough, but it is a decent video guide. I had trouble finding another one that went into as much detail and was step by step

Linus has a full walkthrough video on how to set this up. I followed it and it appears to be working. I run it on my always on PC and set my address as the home for Netflix. Others have android TVs and have been using the app to check in and continue watching “while traveling”. No issues so far. If they stay connected the bandwidth will go through your network, so keep that in mind

I wonder how much more fuel you need to use and what other challenges you face when launching so far from the equator.

I mean, I get your point, but tracking it and going out with my telescope to see it fly by outside as a kid was such a foundational moment for me. It’ll be sad to know its gone without a replacement in the meantime

Nice! Two new communities for me! Thanks!

I’m excited but I’m waiting for reviews first. I have a steam deck so I’m really just looking for some screen comparisons. I miss the haptics when remote playing the PS5 on the deck

yeah, there’s nothing to argue here. These are scientific definitions of the two terms. A positive feedback loop can be negative in terms of consequences, but it doesn’t change the fact that the loop is defined as a positive feedback loop.

The words “positive” or “negative” in terms of the loop definition do not refer to “good” or “bad”, but rather the mathematical definitions of “additive/multiplicative” or “subtractive/divisive”. A positive feedback loop is an additive or multiplicative function whereby inputs increase outputs which increase inputs which increase outputs.

A classic example is a snowball rolling down a hill that grows in size and gains speed. Whether or not the snowball grows big enough and rolls fast enough to annihilate the school at the bottom of the hill, it doesn’t change the fact that by definition the feedback loop that is generating a larger and larger and faster and faster snowball is defined as positive.

An example of a negative feedback loop could be you getting sick. The input being viral or bacterial particles enter your body, the output is your body temperature increases, which kills the pathogens thereby decreasing the input. The decrease in pathogens then signals to your body that the infection is receding, and you body temperature returns to normal (decreased output). You healing from a sickness is a positive (good) thing, but the feedback loop that did it, is a negative one.

I agree completely but just so you know, it’s a positive feedback loop even if the outcome is negative.

A positive feedback loop is one where the input creates an output that then increases the input further, which in turn further increases the output.

A negative feedback loop is one where the input creates an output that then lessens the input, which in turn decreases the output.

Shrinking middle class begets ignorance. Political forces capitalize on ignorance to misinform and manipulate the masses to elect people and enact policies that are not in their best interest. Doing so further erodes the middle class and decreases education, begetting further ignorance, misinformation, and political extremism. Positive feedback loop.

(Sorry if this was pedantic but it reminded me of a very specific learning moment I had with an old science teacher of mine about this exact distinction)

We already experience this on earth to a degree. The moon causes the tides and shore dwelling ocean creatures have to contend with surviving during the high and low tidal periods. Not really weather per se, but it’s something.

No Kit Kat? I guess a 100 Grand then

Nice! The low abxy is tricky. Personally I don’t use mine much, but it’s such a unique design that when they were discontinuing it I had to pick one up.
