Do you need your NVIDIA GPU? It sucks but the best solution is probably to disable this GPU and rely on the integrated GPU of your CPU. You can take a look at this guide from the Arch Wiki which explains how to do that

Sorry that I can’t help you with getting that GPU to work. I’ve seen some people claiming this MBP model works great with Linux but no info on if they’re using the NVIDIA GPU :/

Eh-e eh!

Many things still don’t have a XDG portal like reading absolute cursor position (useful for some accessibility and productivity apps) and things who do have an XDG portal like screenshoting are usually not implemented in popular OS-agnostic libraries

Those things aren’t supported in XWayland either for security reasons iirc and require X11 but I could be wrong

TIL the Victorian era wasn’t during the Middle Ages… I feel like an idiot lol. Thanks for correcting me, I’ll edit my reply :)

The origin of the maid dresses is actually kinda neat iirc! Japan is obsessed by medieval western nobility so they ended up opening nobility-themed cafés with maids and butlers (but mostly maids) which became insanely popular. So much so that many artistic medias including animes started integrating maids and butlers (but mostly maids) inside their stories.

Basically, it’s kinda like us with ninjas and samurais afaik.

For the bunny ears? Maybe a fetish thing idk. Probably related to the japanese culture of adoring anything cute. Bunny = small animal => cute => popular. Dunno why. Maybe I’m wrong tho.

EDIT: Not medival. I’m misremembering history (see below)

aye

Here you go!

Interesting! To me inverting the x-axis just makes sense in 3rd person games: you see the back of the head of the character so if the back of the head moves to the left your field of view should move to the right. Basically, the joystick controls the head of the character from your POV. Never thought that was uncommon!

GameCube controllers controlled the camera by using buttons and not two thumbsticks

Played a bit of GameCube a few months ago and that’s definitely wrong — the c-stick isn’t great but it’s very much used for camera controls — however the rest of the article seems pretty good. Thanks for sharing!

TL;DW from my vague memories:

Oracle got the trademark for JavaScript because they bought the company who made it. Now they have no involvement in the JavaScript ecosystem aside from making a library that barely anyone is using. The JavaScript standard has to refer to JavaScript as ECMAScript because Oracle doesn’t want anything to do with it and won’t allow other people to use the JavaScript name.

The Node.JS/Done guy says that’s stupid and had been requesting Oracle to release the trademark into the public domain for years which Oracle had always ignored/refused. More recently, Node.JS/Deno guy took Oracle to court for holding onto the JavaScript copyright with no intention of doing anything with it which ended in failure with Oracle claiming they’re involved in the ecosystem thanks to that one library they made.

The guy who created JavaScript agrees that’s stupid but can’t help.

I see, thanks! Also your cat pics are adorable, thank you for blessing us with them <3

Dumb question: How do you differentiate between these two? I’ve been staring at this picture for a while but I can’t find any obvious differences between Weenie and Leonard

Sorry to butt in but why is my fellow waffle’s demand not possible? :(

NSFW is how you tag stuff that you don’t want your colleagues to see on your screen at work: it’s not just for porn!

Yup! In that case, this is not an answer that can be solved “mathematically” as you asked: convincing a large group of total strangers to do something for you is within the realm of crowd psychology.

If r/place showed us anything, it’s that you can get people to work hard together if you make them feel part of a community. Maybe creating a Lemmy community whose goal is to keep all posts within that community at 69% would work?

Not sure if that’s the answer you wanted but that’s how I’ve understood your question so don’t hesitate to correct me :)

Is your question “what is the probability for one of my post to have 69% upvotes”? This should be answered by a binomial distribution!

According to this website, for p=0.5; n=100; and x=69 the probability should be ~0.005%.

This means that if 100 people vote your post perfectly randomly, the chance of getting 69% upvotes is ~0.005%. This number will also become smaller if more people start voting since given an infinite amount of votes, the ratio of upvotes should converge towards the chance that a person gives your post an upvote (aka. 50%) so we’d get even further from our 69% target.

Basically, if people vote perfectly randomly it’s unlikely to get to exactly 69%. Such is the fate of us mortals :(

It’s Alex Unemployment’s archnemesis.

It’s time to accept that with every passing second, your body irreversibly degrades. In every instant of life, death becomes closer and closer until it eventually consumes your consciousness and turns you into a lump of organic matter.

Which is like 3:45 pm. You’re welcome! :)
