What a convincing argument. I didn’t realize you had the authority to just decide.

It’s an optical illusion. By definition their isn’t generally anything YOU would call erroneous about any optical illusion, I’d guess. The fact that the text is difficult bordering on impossible to read at some angles is the perceptual error. Stop ignoring obvious interpretations to support your pedantic trolling.
That’s an unhelpfully restrictive definition of illusion that is itself illusory. An illusion is also:
A sensation originated by some external object, but so modified as in any way to lead to an erroneous perception; as when the rolling of a wagon is mistaken for thunder.
The text is hidden or revealed through a change in perspective. That is the illusion.

How is a zig-zag numbering any less valid than any other method? Your mapping a two dimensional space with what is essentially a line. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense for there to be discontinuities in the numbering, as one would have to do if the numbers always incremented in the same direction. Would you prefer that the numbers follow the path of a Hilbert Curve?
To answer your question though, surveyors have been using this method to number sections of land for much longer than you or I have been alive.

Cloud saves? No thanks, never have, maybe never will.
Besides, if you’re not paying for the service, you’re the product not the consumer.

Wolf314159@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?3·2 months agoDitto. The plastics floss/pick combos work even better. Being thinner and super flexible, they are less likely to cause damage and reach the tiny crevices better.

The most obvious examples being the chairman of the Federal Reserve and the Commerce Secretary.

Opinions410·2 months agoYou seem to be implying that you are somehow more entitled to that public space than kids. Sounds like something an entitled little bitch would say. Are you an entitled little bitch? Public space is for the public, ALL the public. If let your own hangups lead you to bullying the most naive and impressionable of us, then you are sacrificing other people’s freedom. And if you are people like this then I say, “fuck you too”. The social contract of public space doesn’t entitled you to be unbothered by other people.
To be clear I am in no way excusing parents that do not actually parent their children, especially in public. However the logic of the above comment is just a bunch of “get off my lawn” anti-social ME generation boomer energy. Also, kind of telling that the parent commenter just doesn’t see the parallels between their entitled attitude and everyone else’s entitlement. It’s a public space, if you can’t be compassionate, you don’t deserve it any more than anyone else.

Setting up Jellyfin is easy until you want access outside your LAN. Setting up TLS or a VPN is a hassle I don’t want unless there is no other option. Plex has features I (and my family) use that jellyfin doesn’t support by default yet. Last I checked syncing of files for offline viewing in the official app wasn’t very good yet. Plex has a bunch of ad supported live streams baked in that aren’t too bad. There is a “How It’s Made” channel, a Mythbusters channel, and Top Gear channel. PlexAmp isn’t perfect, but it’s better than any of the Jellyfin options I’ve seen.

Wolf314159@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do I stop thinking about how many hours there are left on the weekend?1·2 months agoBull. This is corporate propaganda for the grind culture, the same capitalist culture that is currently grinding the middle class into the gutter.
I love my job. I’m pretty fucking good at it, probably wouldn’t be much good at anything else. But, I wouldn’t do it for free. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t need a job. And I still get burnt out on the constant demands it makes on my time and energy. Turns out, humans value play over obligation. We are most fulfilled, happy, and joyful at play. Play is like the opposite of obligation. The only thing worse than being forced to work is watching as your play (fulfilling thing you enjoy doing) turns to work (that thing you’re obligated to do for survival).
It’s the time that is the difference, not the bullshit fallacy of “do what you love”. If we could all survive off of a 3-4 day work week and a 3-4 day weekend, that might actually make a dent on those problems. We might all find we’re all a lot less stressed, fulfilled, and able to connect more meaningfully with the rest of humanity.
Wolf314159@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Open source software for library of things?1·2 months agoThings often have various maintenance cycles that need to be maintained. Most tools require regular safety checks (usually performed by user right before use) that you probably don’t want to depend on the public for. Batteries may need to be charged or changed. Oil changes and the maintenance of other consumable parts. Firmware updates. Licensing (and maintaining a record of licensing) for said firmware or software. Warranty timelines for repair or replacement. Maintenance that needs to be done after each use, every time interval, or only (or especially) if the thing sits unused.
Key lime juice also makes for a very interesting margarita.
