I enjoy opamps. Texas Instruments LME49723 is one of my favorites :P

By asking this question you’re already ahead.

Be your genuine self. Share your wisdom. Love your child.

What alternatives are you using? I’ve only tried Lemmy after Reddit. I don’t find it overly negative here either btw, but I’m interested to compare.

Azorian: The Raising of the K-129

One of the secretive, over-engineered, and ridiculously expensive Cold War spy projects which inspired fiction like James Bond and Metal Gear Solid really happened.

I think Dostoevsky is a good place to start when you’re ready for an adult book store.

If you’re happy with your instance, there’s arguably no need to switch. Just follow people anywhere on Fedi and interact with them. Before you know it you’ll have a community.

I ran my own Mastodon instance for a while, and it didn’t matter I was on a server with only one user (me). It’s all about following, followers and interacting. The instance itself fades away quickly.

Yeah Lemmy, besides news and technology, is very quiet and I think it suffers from having communities fractured between instances, so niche interests get even less traffic than they would on Reddit. But my Mastodon feed is always busy and interesting. If it isn’t you’re not following the right people yet. I recommend some hashtag searches for things you’re interested in.

Ah, I see what you mean now. Yeah I’m guessing there are code sequences where it’s more efficient (either in clocks or code size or simple convenience) to operate on these 256 low addresses than repeating load/hit/store.

As far as I know the 6502 clone in the NES has 3 general-purpose registers: X, Y and accumulator. Many of the instructions operate on them.

It’s a good question though. I am just not aware of a mainstream CPU architecture without registers.

Moderation tools on Lemmy are supposedly seriously lacking. Defederation may sometimes be the only practical option even if it’s not ideal.

The larger the group of people gets, the more likely it is to contain toxic people. Normal distributions and all that.

Mastodon is by far the largest Fedi platform, which the article points out. So it will unavoidably contain the largest number of toxic people. Also most likely the largest number of absolute saints but that’s hardly as obvious I suppose.

This post probably should go in [email protected] and perhaps an admin might see it.

It also seems strange to me to immediately permaban someone for this, especially as I also can’t find this blacklist anywhere.

Lain is a classic. Highly influential piece of pop culture. And even though its story is metaphorical it accurately predicted our incredibly online age, with its strange cultural and psychological problems.

Serial Experiments Lain

Why not use a native Lemmy app such as Voyager? You can log in to Lemmy.world (or any other instance) with it.

“I don’t think so but if you want us to eat healthier and get more exercise I’m game”

I am aware of the ugly side of capitalism. But I’m also a realist and I have not seen a better alternative for organizing industrialized economies than a market economy. It’s fine to shout “socialism!” but actual Socialist planned economies have not done well (and it is well understood why) while the many, many ideas for various utopian-sounding decentralized systems are so-far totally unproven.

Of course if you think we should give up on our lives with electric vehicles and PlayStation 5s, sure, you don’t need capitalism. There’s simply no need to exploit other people if everything you need is made locally with simple tools. But I’m not sure how many people will want to go back to this kind of lifestyle, though it would arguably be better for the planet and humanity.

Yep. I am not an economist, but I do read a lot of history and it seems to me Keynesianism worked quite well for most people at the time (1940s-1970s), and perhaps going back to it would help the middle class. Neoliberalism/Austrian-school/individualism have caused monumental inequalities since the 1970s. Sure, GDP growth has been spectacular (number goes up), but most people have not benefited. I don’t think this is a flaw of capitalism per-se.

Still, I also hope something better comes along and we won’t have to live under some future dystopian corporatocracy… Weyland-Yutani appreciates you

I, weakly, believe capitalism for all its ills is still the best way to run our economies. With serious regulations and a social safety net to make life better for the have-nots. This arguably works “okay” in most places.

Mostly I have yet to see evidence or compelling arguments that other schemes can work well in our time. Go back 500 years, sure, pre-industrial economies worked fine without capitalism. Go forward 500 years, Star Trek, maybe? But not right now.
