I think the thing that frustrates me the most about mathematics in school/university was that, to an autist, it *should* be a dream to work with. Everything has procedures and structures and if you did it right there is no opinion needed, you are either correct or incorrect.

And yet it still all falls apart because god forbid you had one bad year of math, the lack of understanding snowballs into later years if you don't catch up. And god forbid you do any sort of REAL math, you're gonna offload it to a computer anyway (every computer in the last 30 years can do all your algebras and calculuses).

People who got all bitchy about teachers/professors giving "partial credit" to math kids for getting the answer wrong but the process right didn't understand that the end result was never the point because nobody is doing this shit by hand. It's understanding how to get there. I did RSA by fucking hand with small primes in later years. Was it practical? Nope. Was the method interesting? Yep. So why bother rewarding only the right answer when the answer itself is useless and the real takeaway from these classes was the knowledge of HOW and not the end result?

@FaggotTourney I vote for SMetzeler. He brings Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin to shame with his ultra-Zionism.

>I think OoT remake is a given
I hope not. Both OOT and SF64 already have 3DS remakes that can easily be ported over (albeit without the 2nd screen or stereoscopic 3D of course).

>perhaps even what is next for Smash Bros.

I think that's way too early, I think Sakurai needs to find a way to move Smash in a different direction since topping Ultimate is out of the question. I think they'll pull a Mario Kart Word and change the gameplay (maybe having the stages be fully 3D planes), but I bet it's still in the planning stages given that Air Riders was only released last year.

@cjd @HLC These Europeans exaggerating US car dependency really gets on my nerves. Sure you can't really get around everywhere here without a car, but I've seen some people claim that you can't go out for walks in America.

@xianc78 haha I noticed this years ago, sample cds stealing samples

So virtually every video game released after the SNES is potentially infringing copyright in some way due to the legal gray area of soundfonts.

@sendpaws@mitra.pawslut.party Forced to use a real computer instead of phonepost? I don't see the issue

Turns out eating the bugs is a genetic inheritance that the enlightenment cultures don't have.

That said, it does seem they got an extra dose of the LIVE IN THE POD gene.

I can't stress how amazing Kagi translate is

It catches puns, cultural context and even shortened anime names. It has the deepL thing of choosing alternative words, but on top of that, it has that suggestion selector to select the "mood" of the message for more alternative translations possible

Funny how suckless software is universally shat on by neverclankers, DeVault orbiters and people generally pushing the linux phones. But somehow if you slap a different name on the same software, add some patches and host it on Sourcehut, it's suddenly kosher.

If there is one good thing to come out of the "AI derangement syndrome", it's that it has completely eclipsed the "cryptocurrency derangement syndrome", and it seems like people won't attack you for accepting crypto payments/donations anymore.

you know, poasties can't even like posts normally, they have to leave some non-sequitur emote reaction that nobody cares about

Dairy farmer Charles Goadby gives this powerful message against Ed Miliband’s “net zero at any cost” which includes drastic reductions in meat and dairy consumed. Miliband has no mandate to do this. No one voted for this.

@GD5426 Yeah. I remember him refusing to take therapy sessions and even refused to take his meds at one point and became a heavy smoker instead. But from what I've heard, schizo meds have terrible side effects such as loss in productivity and slurred speech, so there's that.
