There was a scandal a few years ago with a bunch of celeb kids. They're getting in front of it by bragging they got ultra privilege so when they pick just one school it'll be humble.

They may also be smart and deserve it. Doesn't change there's someone with less money who could benefit more.

Sandbagging to build a battery tab welding station, need dry sand in case lipo batteries get spicy, it's also a term of art in improv for not going along with the joke, and also:

Bro I smashed the shit out the like button for angine de poitirne, and I don't even think they're human. How do I have nostalgia bias for music that isn't from this dimension?

The "vulnerability" in ffmpeg was only for an addon, which required a separate download by the user, which was only for a cinematic which was only in the game Star wars xwing vs tie fighter from the 90s, which would only occur at exactly 17s into the fmv.

Creality has gone IPO and AI, aka down the same path as Bambu. Maybe an old reliable used ender 3, but I wouldn't but anything new from them.

Speaking of, plenty of old reliable mk3s out there.

Prior to New Jersey amending their state constitution to allow online sports betting in 2011, and mostly leading to the opening of online gambling we're experiencing now, enforcement was usually taken against the "casinos" rather than the handlers. Back then it was CEOs of the betting companies getting caught on their flight layovers and charged with the illegal gambling stuff.

Doubt the intention is to enforce against the gamblers for the reasons already implied here, like the difficulty of tracking and enforcing vpn monitoring.

[discuss] Errantry, jrr Tolkien first mumble rapper (lemmy.world)

I was just introduced to errantry by jrr Tolkien. This thing is fire.

There's a polygon video by Brian David Gilbert where he explains the triplet flow used by a lot of mumble rappers, and then he goes on to rap the three -syllable Pokemon names. Great vid and a great rap. I mention it because the triplet part has always stuck in my head and gotten into my own writing. It was interesting to find triplets in an old jrr Tolkien poem.

Anyway, was jrr Tolkien the first mumble rapper? ~~Ant~~ Any other good old poems that use triplets?

Impedance, floating (lemmy.world)

What's the difference between impedance and when a pin on a microchip is floating?

I get the basics of impedance. I'm capacitive impedance it's a build up of charge. Like air in a balloon. In resistive impedance it's a build up of the magnetic field, like a flywheel.

A floating pin isn't connected to anything reference voltage so it can fluctuate with surrounding interference or whatever.

Why do some ICs have tri state, low, high, and high impedance? Isn't high impedance the same thing as floating?

If it is high impedance that means it had to be connected to something, right? ~~Don't~~ Some kind of big capacitor or inductor in the chip?

T-shirts sleeves that poof out (lemmy.world)
 

Poofy tshirt sleeves are the worst. Is there a name for how the sleeves are cut? When my arms are at my sides I want the hem of the sleeves to be touching my arms, not shooting out at 45 degrees. Same for any short sleeve type shirt.

Guy before lovecraft [Pre-Lovecraft Works] (lemmy.world)

There was an author before lovecraft, I believe he was an ambulance driver in ww 1, or something. I know he was on ww 1 and one of the stories talked about how much that shit sucked. I think he's died young, like 20s. Had a few published stories.

Ring any bells for anyone?

GPL + butt hole? (lemmy.world)
 

License stuff came up the other day. Got me wondering.

Could I use something like the mit or GPL license, but add a requirement that anyone that uses the software had to send me a pic of their butthole?

What is the use case for this GPL + bhole license?

Memes mostly. It world also need to have an age of majority clause.

Then if the library actually gets picked up somewhere it would be a good extortion tactic.

Debian on beagle bone black, basics? (lemmy.world)
 

Messing around with Linux for the first time in a bbb.

I've learned things like ls -1al, those types of basics.

I'm getting the picture that Debian for the bbb is kind of bare bones, no pun intended. Is that right?

I'm interested in some bigger picture basics like that. Any suggestions for resources?

Selfhosted rss w/ push? (lemmy.world)
 

With Google podcast dying I'm looking for a replacement.

I'd like to unchain myself from the corpos if I can too. So I'm not interested in another pod catcher that'll just try to monetize me.

Are there are self hosted rss readers with push? That seems like a great solution for pods and just about anything else I might want to keep up with.
