overview for ChaoticNeutralCzech

Depends on how the song is interpreted. The intention is probably “by the 𝑛ᵗʰ day of Christmas, my true love had given to me [list of 𝑛+(𝑛–1)+...1 items]” but the actual grammar means that by day 12, you'd have received 𝑛(13–𝑛) of the 𝑛ᵗʰ item, or

12 drummers drumming
22 pipers piping
30 lords-a leaping
36 ladies dancing
40 maids a-milking
42 swans a-swimming
42 geese a-laying
40 gold rings
36 calling birds
30 French hens
22 turtle doves
12 partriges in pear trees

Total is 184 birds. By day 7, only 69 birds, up 50 % from 46 by day 6. At least the number of received birds stays constant (23) on days 8-12. The geese technically-a-reproducing are not accounted for, as the eggs might not be fertilized and take several weeks to hatch.

Did the pope vote in Argentina's election? by ChaoticNeutralCzech in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 87 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Argentina is the country whose citizenship you cannot legally lose (though dual citizenship is permitted), and they have mandatory* voting. So the Pope is still a citizen of Argentina and did vote or faced charges. I don't think they allow exceptions.

* Edit: Not quite true. See replies.

Lb-Ft

FFS, just adopt the metric system already. And "lb" is not a force unit. Also don't capitalize unit abbreviations unless named after scientists.

I'm pretty sure you know what follows...

Image transcript

A recreation of the Piper Perri Surrounded meme. A white CASIO CFX-9850GB PLUS calculator is laid on its side on a cushion while three TI-83 Plus and two TI-84 Plus calculators, all black, are standing behind the cushion. The faces of corresponding actors are shown in 4-tone pixelated pictures on each calculator's respective screens, grayscale on the TIs and sepia-toned on the CASIO thanks to its (limited) color graphics. Words of the text "Original meme by Chaotic Neutral Czech" are used in place of the SHIFT functions on a row of keys on the Casio as a mild watermark.

The Python bit. The cloud was copied from Google's suite.

Also, please no "tHiS iS eNgAgEmEnT fOr rEdDiT" comments. Would you rather have no such banner? As I'm not pushing anyone to become a long-term active user on Reddit, I don't see any benefit for the company from this. If you have a spare account, this may be a good cause to fire it up for a few hours.

CW: Milde Nazi-Thematik

Überschreibung: Fakes Poster aus der 30er: Soldaten im zeitgemäßen Auto mit besonders helle Reflektoren. Im Vorne eine Halogen-Glühbirne mit Draht und Beschichtung, die wie Hitlers Bart und Haar aussehen.

Im Nebel, Dunkelheit?

Nur mit »Führerſhein«!
~Glühbirne~ ~mit~ ~Halogen-Gas~ ~für~ ~alle~ ~Fahrzeuge~
^20%^ ^heller^ ^als^ ^andere^ ^Leuchtmittel^

Im Titel vom Post wird Unicode-Zeichen U+26D0 (Auto in Schleudern) verwendet, das auf irgendeine Platformen wie ein Auto mit einem schlecht gezeichneten Hakenkreuz darunter aussieht.

Feature Request: Automatically open Lemmy-hosted-video links with an external app (or implement an internal video player) (feddit.de)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

In the linked comment, I am lamenting that on Jerboa, you cannot easily see where the post’s link goes. When you click it, Android parses the domain name rather than filetype so the default action is to open with Jerboa. Because Jerboa cannot open the video, it just shows the instance’s home feed. The user needs to share/copy and paste the link to see the URL and deduce that it should be opened with a video player.

So please give Lemmy-hosted video links an appropriate icon (▶️/🎞/🎥 rather than ⛓️) and open them with an external app by default (the user can choose VLC or whatever) unless a built-in video player is getting implemented. Alternatively, a RIF-style pop-up would be appreciated to view the destination URL and offer actions like “Share/Copy/Go”, or even navigate to next/previous hyperlinks in comments (useful for fat-fingered users).
