  • I love talking with kids in that phase. The raw curiosity and interest in the mundane is so refreshing.

    Sometimes I feel like many adults hate to learn new stuff and even get offended by the idea. It's heartbreaking seeing those interact with inquisitive children, when they answer honest curiosity with indifference or worse anger.

  • Was ist mit der Luftqualität in Stralsund los?

    Gerade aus Langeweile auf Google Maps die Luftqualität angeschaut. Fast überall in Deutschland und Nordfrankreich gut bis sehr gut. Aber es gibt einen klaren blob um Stralsund.

  • The "this would never happen to me" mindset really is cancer to logical thought and reasoning.

    I somewhere read (maybe it was thinking fast and slow by Kahneman?) that even psychology students learning about certain behaviors would later anonymously claim they would never fall into these patterns. But plot twist: they are also only human, so of course they also could fall into these patterns.

    Another example: People that think they would never fall for a scam. If it is the right scam they will fall even more easily for it than people that know that it could happen.

    "Of course it can't be a scam. Scams are obvious and only idiots fall for them."

  • Boobplate (Ironlily)
  • Yea Plate Armour leaves place at the breasts anyways. As long as she does not have literal melon sized boobs they would fit comfortably.

    But then there are a lot of historical breast plates with abs and big muscles so it's not improbable that she just wants to express herself.

  • Is it better to check if a file exists before trying to load it, or to try to load it, and catch the error and move on?
  • Depends, are you using raw os APIs?

    If so stop it and use a library. A library will do all the necessary checks anyways, atomically. And you need to handle API errors anyways. So checking ahead of time just would be a waste of time.

    But in the end it's irrelevant. This all seems like premature optimization at best and optimizing the wrong thing at worst. You shouldn't need to open thousands of files a second to save a game and if you don't then the cost of all this checking is essentially zero.

    And if you are actually bound by the speed of opening files then you should investigate ways to open fewer files (or not closing files that you know will be needed later).

  • I needed to scroll way too much to see people mention marketing and advertising. It's a huge deal.

    The power of good advertising is not to be underestimated. There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it. And it's not only traditional advertising but viral and "astroturfed" advertising.

  • Jap, die extra Luft hat natürlich eine Funktion, nämlich als Polsterung.

    Eine alternative wäre nicht die Verpackungen zu 100% zu füllen, sondern erst im Markt zu verpacken als kg Ware. Gibt es auch schon für Müsli in manchen Läden. Leider natürlich als Luxusprodukt also teurer als billiges verpacktes.

  • 6800XT connected to PSU via single cable
  • You only need to ask yourself why the PSU manufacturer would bother including the second connector on the same cable if it wasn't ok to use it.

    If you use a third party extension/splitter that would be another story but it doesn't look that way in the diagram.

  • 6800XT connected to PSU via single cable
  • Only if you buy a shitty PSU. Quality ones have lots of protection circuits so worst case the PC would randomly shut down in high load situations.

    Even then if the manufacturer put two connectors on the end of the cable they made sure to put large enough conductors to handle at least the max load of the connectors specifications. Again if it's not a shitty no name brand. Probably with a good safety factor as well.

    It's not like 300-400W is that much energy in the grand scheme of things, so thicker wires wouldn't even be expensive.

  • Looks like it was a ... boobie trap
  • What I find really sad is how fast people call others transphobic. Numerous times I've even seen trans people being called transphobic.

    Sometimes it's also just people making honest mistakes and sometimes people double down on shitty positions if cornered by an insult like being called a transphob. Is that ok? No but it's also human nature unfortunately.

    But I get it there is a lot of hate especially in recent times where it is a constant topic in the US culture war. And it must be exhausting to see hate in so many places. A lot of actual transphobic people are akso not acting in good faith of course. This just makes me more sad :(

  • Too much US election content on Lemmy?

    I hope this is a good place for this. A few weeks ago I started a simple experiment: Block every community in the All feed that is about the US election in some way.

    I thought this up after a thread about the Biden debate, as someone kindly (not really kindly) informed me that I should curate my own experience here. I thought about it and realized just how much election/politics stuff there is on the front page. It was quite hard blocking communities I like, especially 196 on blahaj.

    Now the quality of my feed did go up in some ways but it's very slow. I also realized that I am feeling a lot less rage/anger than before when scrolling lemmy. I didn't even realize how much the constant political stuff from another continent affected me...

    What is your opinion on this? Is Lemmy really filled with too much US political rage bait? Should I continue with my zero tolerance policy?

    It would also interest me to hear an American perspective. Is there more or less politics here, on other platforms or real life. How does rage/hate affect you when scrolling through Lemmy and does it take a toll?

    Seitan?

    Found at a tram stop in Helsinki. I don't know what this is all about. Probably meant to be funny "Praise your Satan" but what does gluten have to do with it?

    Can someone help me figure this one out?
