Ask Lemmy

Live in the past, is mine. I will listen to things over and over because some songs or even podcast episodes, rewind me back to times where I felt comfortable in. I do sometimes poke my head out to see where things are currently in the present, but nothing around really makes me gravitate to anything current-day. But, then I just go back to my hole in living in the past.

People used to tell old people to get over it about them remembering things as they were all of the time. I'm understanding why they do that. Sometimes the present really truly sucks.

I have a trip booked for March 18 to stay at a hotel in the city center. Me and my husband, both Canadian. Should we cancel the trip due to recent cartel activity?

Why people consider Zelda: Breath of the Wild highly influential in open world game design?

I had a saved post where someone on the fediverse made a website to end all job websites because job hunting was so unreasonably difficult. Now I need it, I can't find it and I'm hoping someone remembers this and knows what I'm on about.

I think it's because I saved the post in ~~voyager~~ Sync, then the dev abandoned it and I switched to using summit.

My understanding of the website was that it crawled company websites for vacancies and produced a clean way to browse and apply directly, skipping all the spam, recruiters and paid/account creation of the typical job sites.

I recently turned 18, so my parents signed me up for driving school. When I showed up at the academy, I was surprised by the cars they had available for students to learn on. They told me to pick whichever I liked best, and I chose the Mercedes-Benz G500.

What are things that bring you joy?

This might not be unique to presidential speeches, but it’s where I’ve seen these things.

As a moderately broad shouldered guy who prefers side sleeping, I need robust pillow support.

I find that no pillow I buy, at any price, will last more than six months before its going flat every night.

Am I upset about about something that's perfectly normal here?

Like the "normal amount of toilet roll," I feel like this is one of those things that we never know what is normal for others.

I’ve posted quite a bit on here since I created my account, posts I consider non-controversial, since I’m not interested in arguing or getting into heated topics like politics. Even so, I still get the occasional snarky comment. Out of curiosity, I sometimes check the person’s post history when I see something like that, and without fail, their profile is full of snarky, negative, or hateful posts overall. It always makes me wonder: do people like this genuinely get enjoyment from surrounding themselves with negativity? What’s the thought process behind it?

Notepad++ - This is the definitive notepad-related software you'll ever need. Multiple tabs, keeps tracks of lines, lots of features and preferences. One of the most invaluable parts of it, is that you can close it or a update happens or maybe your PC will get knocked offline. You can come back to Notepad++, open it, and everything will be retained.

Do you still have faith in humanity?

I am testing the following Lemmy Clients, and I don't know yet what is the best for me.

• Summit
• Blorp
• Jerboa
• Thunder

I do need your help to decide. Summit I didn't find it in f-droid, I installed it from the play store. Is Summit open source?

I can start. I spent a few days with friends. We didn't do anything that special but it's good to catch up and soak up some positivity from them.

Came up with the question after an interaction that happened a few weeks ago. Long story short I said circumcision is bad but female genital mutilation is traditionally much worse. A user went through my comment history. They replied to one stating that I was as evil as the BTK killer and champion child abuse.

Be it your best friend, your dog, cat, boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband, and all that exists in between. How did you meet them?

There are satellites watching various important events all over the world right now. Satellites that we the public have no access to.

So instead of seeing the events for ourselves we get news from various totally untrustworthy and manipulative news things.

If we could access the satellites then we could see for ourselves, or at least seriously fact check the news things.

I think this would make things better, how about you?

I understand that color is a 3D value, since all perceivable colors can be created my independently mixing 3 base colors. That naively gives us a color space shaped like a cube (like SRGB).

I also understand that every color space needs to remove colors from the ‘everything’ color space due to technical limitations. This is usually represented by ‘cutting out’ a triangle from the following representation of the ‘everything color space’.

Even accounting for distortion of the color space (think Mercator projection), I believe there should only be three curves that cut the solid color space. Hover, in the image of the OKLAB color space there are 5. Why is that?

And why is the ‘amount of height’ they cut from this supposed triangular prism so different depending on hue?

I'm talking about neocities websites and alike
