  • I want to say we were supposed to learn them in second grade in Canada, but I personally never did. My memory isn't good enough, so to this day, I just work it out in my head. For small numbers like 1-12, its easy enough to break it down to smaller parts and solve quickly anyway.

  • Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?

    Jump

  • The last graph is total posts across Lemmy, so its only about 300,000 posts a month, although notably, about 250,000 of those are on a bot server no one is federated with.

  • What features from some site do you wish were used in more sites?

    Jump

  • For any website that has some sort of search or filtering, a function to exclude items. A couple examples of this that have annoyed me enough to still remember them:

    • Trying to set a filter for every GPU with more than 12GB of RAM, excluding the 3060. I had to instead select like two dozen chipsets manually.
    • This is now fixed, but you didn't used to be able to filter excluding game tags on Steam. This made more general tags useless, as people over-apply them. For example, CS2 Marvel Rivals, Black Desert, and DbD are all tagged as strategy games, so without the option to filter them out, it was way harder to browse.
    • On Lemmy, there doesn't seem to be any search operators, nonetheless '-'. Given how useless the search already is, and the fact that nothing gets indexed on the major search engines, finding anything on Lemmy is impossible.

  • So far as I know, there aren't a lot of 8-player local multiplayer games. The only obvious answer is the Jackbox games, using your phones as controllers.

    Beyond that, I did find this Steam curator, who seems to specialize in 8-player games. From thier list, I recognize Gang Beasts, and Pico Park: Classic Edition. Party Golf, Screen Cheat, and Cobalt also all looked interesting, but I've never seen anyone play them.

  • Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think Boomerang Fu or Overcooked support 8 players?

  • Exclusive: Putin's demand to Ukraine: give up Donbas, no NATO and no Western troops, sources say

    Jump

  • So basically the same thing they've been asking for for the last two years. Biggest difference now is that Russia's military and economy are so damaged that it'll be much longer before they next break the peace treaty.

    Sounds like the better option is just to offer proper support to Ukranie and wait for Russia to colapse, so there won't be a next time.

  • I'd expect that, although I've noticed this trend continuing (and seemingly getting worse) for months now.

  • Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?

    Jump

  • Looking at the more detailed breakdowns, it looks like there are a couple of servers (Lemmit.online, alien.top among others) with huge numbers of posts/comments that appear to be entirely bots. Are those counted in the stats? Could those be messing with the overall graphs? If Lemmit's quarter of a million posts a month are counted, its going to make the monthly posts stat useless when even .world only has about 15k posts a month.

    Edit: Comparing the graphs to the server list, it looks like Lemmit is counted, so the main graph is likely misleading. I did look through some of the bigger servers, and their rate of posting seemed fairly linear, but there isn't a good way to check overall.

  • I've definately noticed it too. I've tried to look for stats, and most seem to indicate that there is plenty of activity, but I dont really see it. At this point, I can scroll through the day's all feed in like 20 minutes, nonetheless my subscribed feed. I kind-of wonder if theres one or two instances with a lot of bot activity effectively inflating the numbers.

    Edit: Is there a way to see monthly posts by instance, or compare percentage of posts? That would be an easy way to prove or disprove my bots theory.

    Edit 2: fediverse.observer shows monthly (Or rather, total by month) local posts by instance but not federated, and their overall stats are warped by a few bot instances that you can't filter out. That said, for local posts on a few of the big instances, the rate seems stable. That said, smaller instances are shutting down so I don't know if that has an impact on the overall posting rate.

  • Flight attendant union leaders ‘ready to go to jail’ as Air Canada strike outlawed

    Jump

  • be paid a living wage

    Not that you're wrong, but the strike doesn't even go that far. They not even getting paid for a large portion of their work, at all, so they're asking to be paid for time at work that is currently unpaid.

  • Can't believe I made this without ChatGPT

    Jump

  • When you're talking about a difference of 9 Google Searches, an LED bulb running for 15 minutes, or running an AC unit for about a second, yes its not much.

    Edit: Although notably, the training is the concerning part power-wise. That said, not using it doesn't help that that much seeing as they're mostly funded by speculative investment. The best course of action is instead through collective organization to strengthen the working class and push for stronger regulations.

  • Canadian home sales rose 6.6% in July compared to same time last year

  • The liberal just force the Flight Attendants to go back to work

    Jump

  • At this point, the Liberals have bowed to Trump (and got nothing for it), made largely symbolic genstures to limit immigrantion blocking primary those who are paying to be here while ignoring the workers we effectively enslave with the TFW program, done nothing about housing, and has blocked unions. At this point, might have well voted for Polieve (or, you know, someone sane).

  • Embarrassed? No.

    Annoyed/mad? Maybe a bit?

    It does feel like its a boundary violation, and inconsiderate to both you and the woman to suprise, you and force a specifc date and time on you like that. At the same time, you didn't do anything wrong, and if the opportunity has presented itself, and you are interested in dating, its still worth it to go.

  • Gen Z Is Cutting Back On Video Game Purchases

    Jump

  • The economy is terrible with both hardware and software becoming more expensive, theres a good selection of free and long-lifetime games (be it live-service or just very long and replayable), and a lot of the newer paid games have become worse.

    I'd be significantly more suprised if this wasn't the case.

  • Chad NATO

    Jump

  • Given that you're on a two day old account, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

    .ml is notoriously run by, and has a large population of tankies - people who support China and Russia, and defend or deny their countless atrocities. I.E. people who deny the Tiananmen Square Massacre, and say Russia's invasion of Ukraine and all the war crimes they've committed are justified. Basically, anything done by a government that opposes the US is considered a good thing, no matter how evil.

    Edit: Adding what Brucethemoose said into my comment directly because its important. Being critical of the US or NATO doesn't make you a tankie. The problem is excusing genocide because it was commited by someone outside NATO or the US allies.

  • Why do neurotypicals like AI slop?

    Jump

  • Its not normally sought out, in fact, its nearly the opposite. If you don't filter what you search for and you just mindlessly scroll on most social media, its low effort slop (AI and not) that you end up with.

    Its in the same vien as most mobile games - Most people download the first thing that catches their eye on the app store (part of why top grossing is so prominently featured) and if it holds their attention at all, they keep playing. They're not looking for good games, they're looking for something to reduce boredom on their bus ride.

  • [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games

  • Mastercard? Yes, but then they'd have to admit that they were in the wrong, so it seems unlikely.
