It’s convenient if hour is the only time unit you need. However, many situations require different time units, and that’s when you run into conversion problems.

Can confirm. There are lots of “boring” videos on Loops. Like, check this out. Yes, it’s an entire channel dedicated to chickens. I mean, it’s nice and relaxing, but nowhere near as addicting and engaging as tiktok or instagram videos. I’ll still count that as a win.

Regardless, @billinkc still rocks.

Before the app was released, I noticed that suddenly there were many new users. Previously, making an account wasn’t open to everyone, but apparently that has changed too.

No shortage of trash, but that’s true for all platforms.

I just used the customize button on the top right corner and moved politics and a bunch of other junk to the “hide” column. This way, the home feed has a chance of containing things worth watching. Mostly though, I just use Odysee for watching the few channels I care about. Incidentally, I arranged the “followed” section to the top of the list.

As a result, I don’t see any conspiracy or MAGA nonsense at all.

Peertube for long tech videos. You’ll find lots of linux people here. Sure, there’s pretty much everything else too, but that’s what I use Peertube for.

Odysee for a wide range of videos in general. Many youtubers have backed up their videos here.

Loops for short videos… more like a tiktok clone really.

Sorting by scaled helps a little bit, but some communities just post soooo much that they drown out everything else. In order to fix that you would need “multireddits”, which don’t exist on Lemmy.

For the time being, I recommend making two accounts and using one exclusively for subscribing to the really busy communities. The other one could be used for everything else. It’s also an opportunity to try out a different instance.

If you find that one feed is getting dominated by a single community again, you may need to create a third account to manage your subscriptions appropriately.

Get an external hard drive case and pop an old disk in it. Install Rockstor on the pi, configure it and you have a NAS for backups or whatnot. I’ve heard it’s also possible to upgrade it to a personal cloud storage, but I haven’t gone quite that far.

Or if you use a suitable projection. I’m pretty sure you can pick some really wild projection and make it work with another letter too.

I currently have two Wayland-running computers: one with Intel graphics and the other with Nvidia. While both work, one has some odd quirks. For instance, right-click window scaling doesn’t work at all and context menus vanish instantly unless I hold the mouse button down. Sometimes, the right-click menu simply doesn’t appear at all.

Incidentally, I’m currently looking for a used AMD graphics card. Can you guess which computer will get that card.

If you’ve already done a bit of programming, you can think of the terminal as a place that executes code. Just look at some bash scripts, and you’ll probably find it somewhat familiar.

Just like you can load new libraries, you can also install new commands on your system. You can think of each program as a function in some programming language such as Python.

LOL. The proposed new compass system has two norths, because apparently one just wasn’t enough.

That would really be pretty neat. A bit unlikely though, but would be fun if it landed on the exact same angle.

What if there was a federated platform for supporting the channels you like? Maybe something like Patreon? Or how about some sort of merch store for people who can sell the things they make?

I had a W10 phone at work. The OS and UI were nice, had no issues there. The app selection was a serious bottle neck though. Finding a good flashlight or a calculator was not a trivial task. Anything more complicated than that just simply didn’t exist.

So, Norwegians should be about a hairy as Turkish weight lifters?

When dealing with real world data, it’s always a good idea to check how normal it is. If that assumption is grossly violated, you have to work a bit harder and use more robust methods.

When it’s reasonably close to normal, you can take all sorts of nice shortcuts like z-scores and t-tests. I haven’t looked into this case yet, but I assume they knew what they were doing.

In many cases, a z-score between -2 and +2 is common. Anything outside that range is rare. Further away from zero you go, the rarer it gets.

In real life though, not all things follow the normal distribution, so z-scores aren’t always so easy to interpret. If the distribution is far from normal, z-scores are only marginally useful.

What could possibly go right.

I get my American slang through Hollywood and Internet, so the curriculum may not be entirely comprehensive at times.

Oh. That’s a new one for me.
