Don’t forget Dispatcharr for IPTV.

Logic gates?

I miss the days when MTG stood for Magic the Gathering.

Math terminology is so shitty sometimes.

The names in the number hierarchy are one of my favorite examples: natural, integer. rational, real, complex/imaginary. WTF? These terms are all misleading and completely removed from the underlying mathematical concepts. It’s terrible for math education, etc.

I would propose instead something like: counting numbers, negatives (?), fractions, number line, number plane… Or anything remotely equivalent, where the terms reflect the actual mathematics instead of some outdated, pseudo-scientific intuition.

“These numbers are real and these numbers are imaginary.” - Math still in the 21st century. It’s embarrassing. Symptomatic of wider rot in math education.

For streaming… Are you talking about IPTV? You could check the german playlist from IPTV.org.

In my experience many of those links are probably dead but, if you search around, you can probably get a decent set of channels.

The grift is too damn high.

Where I live, they own a big chunk of all the shitty beers at shitty gas stations. They’re a major reason why independent breweries are almost nonexistent.

Fuck Heineken.

How will humanity survive without the vital services offered by (checks notes) Heineken?!?!?

Spotify has public databases? That’s so nice of them. Really progressive.

So where can I download my fave albums?

This is the difference between randomly choosing songs and randomly choosing songs without repetition.

Both are random but the later is much better for humans.

Of course there are other possible methods of choosing. It seems like Spotify is doing some kind of weighting from another comment posted here.

The point of these apps is to leech as much money as possible.

An opposing goal would be to make the app better for users.

This is spotify. It’s just a music player. The overwhelming bulk of the code was probably written like 20 years ago by a 15 year old.

Is that supposed to be impressive? Spotify is among the dumbest, shittiest apps. It’s literally just a music library player.

Spotify doesn’t exist because it’s some genius app. It exists because of legal control. They have no reason to make the app better. Indeed their shitty capitalist motives continue to enshittify the app.

That’s exactly why they use these apps. The primary application is abdication of responsibility for atrocities.

“We were just following orders the genius of ‘AI’…”

A thousand white guys with degrees couldn’t stand up to him.

Nobody was trying to stand up to him. Some white dudes literally invited him to their university.

Discovered the a formula for pi.

FTFY. There are many methods for calculating pi. Some are thousands of years old.

Said math was the language of the gods.

It’s not. It’s literally a formal language made by people.

Best mathematician since euler.

That’s subjective but I would put a number of people before this guy: Cantor, Godel, Turing, et al.

None of these people are gods.

Died at 33 because they couldn’t fucking accept being made the fool.

He died because there’s no cure for TB.

racism is fake

“Race” is fake. Racism is very very real.

“plan to”

Just when you thought matplotlib was safe from the drama…

Don’t forget the support for genocide.

“intelligence” <—> incompetence

Yes, I have a “terminal” degree from a decent school in a related field. As I’ve said, I’m very unimpressed with the vast majority of “research”.

It’s the uneducated and the “educated” who worship these grifters. It doesn’t require an advanced degree to see through this. An advanced degree might even be an impediment.
