For anyone like me who has math as their worst subject: PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is an acronym used to mention the order of operations to be followed while solving expressions having multiple operations. PEMDAS stands for P- Parentheses, E- Exponents, M- Multiplication, D- Division, A- Addition, and S- Subtraction.

So we gotta do it in the proper order. And remember, if the number is written like 2(3) then its multiplication, as if it was written 2 x 3 or 2 * 3.

So we read 8/2(2+2) and need to do the following;

  • Read the Parentheses of (2 + 2) and follow the order of operations within them, which gets us 4.
  • Then we do 2(4) which is the same as 2 x 4 which is 8
  • 8 / 8 is 1.

The answer is 1. The old calculator is correct, the phone app which has ads backed into it for a thing that all computers were invented to do is inaccurate.

I can see someone using Plex/Jellyfin to host their sex work media, like a "Netflix for my boobs/cock/ass/etc." since both let you manage who has access and what not.

That said, it's probably a bad idea for that, and general porn.

Windows helped to bring the concept of an operating system to the masses too. Does that mean it's impossible to ever ruin it's reputation?

Even now with more eyes on GNU, Herd still isn't a serious kernel. BSD has more users and support than GNU Herd.

I thank the GNU community for making wonderful tools and making libre software possible, but it doesn't exactly deserve top billing.

Linux without GNU can live, with BusyBox or Android. GNU without Linux would have never taken off. Though I'm curious if in another timeline without GNU, Linux might not have taken off, as GNU had all the tools but no kernel.

Probably nothing?

Fair enough. Tho I'm sure Janeway would still consider using Tuvix for that one editing your DNA thing.

"They're the same picture."

Also, that does not explain why:

  • Chrome users who use an adblocker don't get the issue
  • Firefox users who do not use an adblocker get the issue
  • FIrefox users who use an adblocker, but change User Agent to Chrome, don't get the issue

Now, if only we knew who made Chrome and YouTube... The mind boggles.

The only issues I have (currently, until proven wrong) with DIscovery with the Spore Drive and other technological things, is that it didn't seem to have an answer for why the Federation didn't use it later. I do know that in the timeskip season, a log does not mention the use of the s-drive.

But man I can only imagine how pissed Admiral Janeway would have been to find out it exists.

Plus I can't hate a show that has Doug Jones in it. I didn't get into Discovery, but I don't hate it.

From the article we're commenting on:

There is no law requiring AT&T to store decades’ worth of Americans’ call records for law enforcement purposes. Documents reviewed by WIRED show that AT&T officials have attended law enforcement conferences in Texas as recently as 2018 to train police officials on how best to utilize AT&T’s voluntary, albeit revenue-generating, assistance.

And I have voted, I voted for Biden to "not be Trump" and he's doing okay at that. I'm personally still waiting on protections for queer people, major laws against police brutality, higher minimum wages, healthcare reform, decriminalizing cannabis, codifying Roe v. Wade, or anything else that was planned to win over voters but still don't have the time to do anything about.

But i guess we have the political capital to:

Violate 26 federal laws to continue building the wall that Trump wanted

Have bipartisan support to enstate a formal dress code because a Senator wore a hoodie

And I don't recall ever voting to support Israel's bombing of Palestine, not in 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, or any other election year. There isn't some referendum of "Hey maybe don't play geopolitical chess that gets hundreds killed" that I can vote on. Joe "Nothing WIll Fundamentally Change" Biden said to Congress in the State of the Union, to a nation filled with people protesting police brutality We need to Fund the Police to a roaring clap from both parties.

Please tell me more to vote harder to stop the genocide of Ukrainians, Palestinians, Yemenis, and everyone other oppressed people. Please tell me to vote harder for milquetoast candidates who pay lip service while they allow fascism to grow openly and easily, because "they need to reach across the isles and compromise".

I don't think fascists support treating addicted members of society and not exporting them elsewhere via final solution methods. I could be wrong, but I don't think that's what they are famous for, compassion towards a health crisis.
