also, for complex societal reasons, lesbians just tend to like things where carabiners are used, such as bouldering. based on that, carabiners have then used by some to signal that they’re lesbian (i haven’t heard of anyone using it to signal availability, that seems like it would lead to confusion very easily). important to keep in mind that carabiners are still worn primarily for their function for most people, including lesbians (that’s how it caught on)
apropos algebra, that comes from al-Jabr, which (approximately) means reunion, resetting of broken parts, or balancing, and is a shortnening of the title of the book (copy-pasted from wiktionary) al-kitāb al-muḵtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-jabr wa-l-muqābala, “The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing”. the author of this book, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi also gave us the word “algorithm” (from al-Khwarizmi)


obligatory disclaimer that i am not a lawyer and this isn’t legal advice.
legal answer:
i think distributing a song in full on your blog is pretty unambiguously copyright infringement. i think having select snippets that you highlight and talk about would be fine though, as that would likely fall under using the work for critisism. the general rule for fair use is that your work should not replace or supersede the original (which uploading the song in full could). if you absolutely need the songs to be accessible in full, you would probably need to link to something like a streaming service.
also be aware that things like album covers might be considered their own works under their own copyright, so reproducing that without critique could also constitue infringement.
practical answer:
i don’t think there are scrapers on the general internet looking for copyrighted content so if you’re sufficiently small and/or the artists are sufficiently lenient you’ll probably be fine, and at worst you’ll get a cease and desist and take down the tracks they complain about

det er vel bedre at være afhængig af noget hvor levetiden måles i år, frem for noget hvor levetiden måles i timer. hvis det bliver et problem af skaffe solceller og batterier fra kina har vi masser (ift fossile brændstoffer) af tid til at finde en løsning
you can just use sodium + lithium + ferritecore and whatever other optimization mods you like for a much better speedup and no loss in quality at all


your frontend of choice probably has some option to hide posts containing specific keywords
you get a blue check for paying something like $9/month. very good feature because it instantly tells you that you can entirely disregard the post you’re about to read because it was written by someone stupid enough to give money to the app formerly known as twitter (and thus elon musk) every month
wait that says hydrofluoric acid that seems way worse???
i think my brain just kinda autocorrected it to HCl because it scares me to think that there’s someone out there who a) has access to HF and b) is dumb enough to put it in their ass
tbf this uses a lot of medical jargon that most people who aren’t doctors will never need. put simply, it’s a case of a man who put hydrofluoric acid in his ass (owie) while high from snorting cocaine
edit: wrong acid, it’s actually way worse than i thought
wdym? fortnite is owned by epic games. that is steam’s competition
part of the skill of cooking is learning why a dish working. rather than tasting some and going “this tastes bad”, you should be thinking “what is not working here?” too much or too little salt? did you overcook the meat? do some of the flavors clash? a major skill in cooking is being able to identify why your meal didn’t turn out how you wanted it to, and then hopefully finding out how to fix or avoid that.
i think following the recipe to the letter can weaken that skill because you just kinda uncritically follow the steps in front of you
how in the hell did you find out that it was weird al from just this image???


as far as i can tell this only accounts for games on steam, which means massive games like fortnite, valorant, league of legends and genshin impact are excluded. also for some reason apex legends is rated as silver on protondb despite very much not working on linux? so i guess at least one of the silvers in the top 10 chart should be downgraded to not working


the problem is that the way version numbers are handled now, it’s more like 1.MAJOR.MINOR, with no real definition of what counts as a “minor” update, so it’s hard to tell which versions are compatible. i feel like this problem would mostly go away if they either added another number to the version to signify patches, or actually used semver properly (they could mix these approaches to do something similar to java, so the next version would be 22.0.0)
i feel like this whole version debacle is only gonna get worse because microsoft is planning to move to a “content drop” model, with smaller more frequent updates, which means even more pressure on the “patch” version. so unless their update model or versioning systen changes, we’ll probably be playing 1.21.37 in a couple of years, and good luck figuring out which of those versions are actually compatible


i wonder how these numbers change if you weight by active players. like sure, Shooty Guns 2 (2008) running on linux is a good thing, but if it has a grand total of 5 people in the world playing it, it won’t really do much for linux adoption as long as games like league of legends, apex legends and fortnite still don’t work
(for the record i don’t play any of those games and i’ve been happily daily-driving linux with no windows intervention for the last 4 year)
if it’s any consolation, native danish speakers don’t think about it like this, you just kinda memorize what each multiple of 10 is called. although the etymology does appear a little when using ordinals, e.g. 72nd in danish is tooghalvfjerdsindstyvende (two and half four twenties), but i think most young people would just say tooghalvfjerdsende (72 + ordinal suffix)
that’s basically just co2, since (iirc) the panic from not being able to breathe comes from high co2 levels the blood, rather than low oxygen levels in the blood. this is also why simple asphyxiants like nitrogen gas are still very dangerous, because you might not notice that you’re not getting any oxygen, especially since your ability to think is probably also impaired because of said low oxygen.
so if you wanna make yourself anxious for funsies, then you can just breathe a bunch of co2 (but also don’t because you might die, and even if you don’t, elevated co2 levels are still pretty bad for you)
i think for my purposes i’m fine with hosting that through a separate service, so instead of XMPP + mumble i would run polyproto + mumble (or some other voip solution, screen sharing seems to be a decent way away in mumble)
but (as i understand it), polyproto isn’t a chat protocol per se, but more a protocol for federated message authentication. as an application of this protocol, they’re building polyproto-chat, which is a chat protocol. in theory, one could then also build a polyproto-voice so you can use the same account for both chatting and voice calls. i still think this is pretty far away, considering how young polyproto is, which is why my current vision is chat and voice as two separate services (which i also prefer because i imagine it makes the technology simpler and hosting easier)
ehh not exactly. the current wave within ai was started in 2017 with the google paper “attention is all you need”, which introduced the transformer architecture (the T in GPT). deep neural networks were still used for NLP before this, it was just LSTMs instead of transformers, which had various limitations
