I've never done it, but I wonder if turning on the rear fog lights would work. You're not braking, but they might think you are. I don't know what the legality of that would be

First time I've seen this "guess the game" game, so wasn't entirely sure what I was looking at on the first screenshot. But knew instantly the franchise on the second image.

100% with you. "Left to right" as far as I can tell only exists to make otherwise "unsolvable" problems a kind of official solution. I personally feel like it is a bodge, and I would rather the correct solution for such a problem to be undefined.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I fully agree that if it comes down to "left to right" the problem really needs to be rewritten to be more clear. But I've just shown why that "rule" is a common part of these meme problems because it is so weird and quite esoteric.

Except it does matter. I left some examples for another post with multiplication and division, I'll give you some addition and subtraction to see order matter with those operations as well.

Let's take:
1 + 2 - 3 + 4

Addition first:
(1 + 2) - (3 + 4)
3 - 7 = -4

Subtraction first:
1 + (2 - 3) + 4
1 + (-1) + 4 = 4

Right to left:
1 + (2 - (3 + 4))
1 + (2 - 7)
1 + (-5) = -4

Left to right:
((1 + 2) - 3) + 4
(3 - 3) + 4 = 4

Edit: You can argue that, for example, the addition first could be (1 + 2) + (-3 + 4) in which case it does end up as 4, but in my opinion that's another ambiguous case.

So let's try out some different prioritization systems.

Left to right:

(((6 * 4) / 2) * 3) / 9
((24 / 2) * 3) / 9
(12 * 3) / 9
36 / 9 = 4

Right to left:

6 * (4 / (2 * (3 / 9)))  
6 * (4 / (2 * 0.333...))  
6 * (4 / 0.666...)  
6 * 6 = 36

Multiplication first:

(6 * 4) / (2 * 3) / 9  
24 / 6 / 9

Here the path divides again, we can do the left division or right division first.

Left first: 
(24 / 6) / 9  
4 / 9 = 0.444...

Right side first:  
24 / (6 / 9)  
24 / 0.666... = 36

And finally division first:

6 * (4 / 2) * (3 / 9)  
6 * 2 * 0.333...  
12 * 0.333.. = 4 

It's ambiguous which one of these is correct. Hence the best method we have for "correct" is left to right.

Mm, that is unfortunate! I personally keep a Windows install around for VR as well, nothing on Linux runs the Quest 3 quite as well as Virtual Desktop.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

The issue normally with these "trick" questions is the ambiguous nature of that division sign (not so much a problem here) or people not knowing to just go left to right when all operators are of the same priority. A common mistake is to think division is prioritised above multiplication, when it actually has the same priority. Someone should have included some parenthesis in PEDMAS aka. PE(DM)(AS) 😄

The only problem with Nvidia is the lack Broadcast and Shadowplay. Not having their noise cancelling is unfortunate, but OBS can replace shadowplay. I know some people seem to have issues with Nvidia on Linux, but I believe they are a pretty small minority.

He's had some controversial things. In 2017 he said the n-word while live streaming a game. The other big one I know of is he made a video where he showed he has paid one of those fiverr groups of Indian children to hold up a sign that said "death to all Jews". Pewdiepie didn't think they would actually do it.

They are really not great situations, and the second one I mentioned he should have realised was a bad idea and not done at all. Back in that 2017 era he positioned himself as an edgier meme YouTube, but he has since apologized and vastly changed his content, and i personally believe he's a very changed person from a decade ago. But the stigma has stuck around.

He partially has lungs and a vocal chord ?

Though it reminds me of a conversation you can over hear in one of the Divine Divinity ~~Baldurs Gate~~ games between two skeletons, who talk themselves into how they shouldn't function, and then promptly fall to the floor in a pile.

Edit: corrected the game

So I want to swap off of Spotify. Most of the time it works great, but the annoyances with their UX are starting to build up. From not ordering albums in release order on certain screens, to having to wait a good few seconds before turning off their shuffle+, and their shuffle not being very shuffle-y to begin with.

I have a couple of requirements:

  • A decent Linux client.
  • Be able to easily select playback device from other devices (for example start playback on my PC from my phone).
  • Preferably pretty straightforward UX philosophy, i.e. haven't started going down any enshitification with AI, "we know best" kind of elements.

I don't particularly care for the highest of lossless quality audio. I don't posses any audio equipment where I would have any shot of telling the difference. As long as its not the experience I had with YouTube music where some random persons heavily compressed upload of a song would start playing.

My main contenders are Tidal, Qobuz, and deezer. The latter two I have very little experience with.

I've tried Tidal before, but my main gripe with it was scrolling through large playlists (about 2000 songs) was very slow, as it loaded in songs as you scrolled through (think endless scrolling on ddg or Lemmy) making it tedious to go to artists starting with a later character in the alphabet. Maybe it was just the Linux client, an issue on my machine, or if they've fixed it since, would be great to hear if any of you have had the same issue.

Qobuz and deezer I haven't really tried or heard much about from a users perspective.

I know some people swear by buying (or ship in under the jolly roger) all their music and use jellyfin or just local files for playback. I'm not very keen on that idea, the convince and discoverability of music on a streaming platform is what made me go to Spotify and away from winamp in the first place.

In a recent update to the HSBC app they've added a screen to prevent you from using the app unless you use the default (google) keyboard.

They do a similar thing if you have an accessibility service running that can access the screens content. A fair enough security warning if you've happened to install a dodgy keyboard app, but highly frustrating when using an open source alternative that enhances the security and privacy over the default option (HeliBoard in my case).

I haven't found a way to circumvent the page yet. It would be useful if Android allowed you to block the permission to query all packages, but alas.

But it seems to only do this in the home tab. Search and subscription tabs still show the view count.

Now I don't think view count is much of an indication of quality for a video, but the number of likes even less so. It varies quite a bit even on video to video from the same creator depending on if a like is called out for, or audience type.

Certainly not the most egregious change they've made, but a bit of an odd one I can't quite figure out why.

They could also punish false claims. Currently the copyright holders (and not even that, just something that might vaguely sound like your stuff) can automatically send out strikes for any match in the system. The burden to prove it's fair use goes to YouTube channel, and if it's found to not be copyright infringement nothing happens to the fraudulent claimer.

A big step would be to discourage the copyright holders from shooting from the hip.
