The fact I actually get this because I’m taking linear algebra right now 😭

Wow! That’s really cool! Good for the devs at TreeStyleTab!!!

This is genuinely terrifying

Reinforced binder paper where the holes are triangles and reinforced with tape. I hadn’t had to deal with my papers getting ripped out of a binder/refillable notebook since getting them

That’s not harmless that’s cruel 😭

I saw a video once of a prank where two girls go up to a stranger asking them to take a picture of them across the street. The stranger takes the photo and when the two girls start crossing over to the other side, a car passes by and the two girls are replaced with two old men wearing the same shirts. Even the Polaroid photo shows the old men. It’s genuinely funny and completely harmless. It just makes the person getting pranked go, “Wait, what the fuck???”

I do hope the people were told that they were pranked though and that they don’t live the rest of their lives thinking they’re insane 😂

ETA: also this video where the guy puts on the collar and leash of his blind husband’s service dog when he asks him to go get his watch. (He immediately reveals himself when the blind husband gets back to pick up his service dog’s leash again and the husband thinks it’s hysterical).

Tiny cock?

I don’t know the word but there’s one Japanese word that means “stupid” but is basically the equivalent to the r-word in English. It’s banned from being said on Japanese television.

Technology, open source software, operating systems, retro technology, furries

It’s a pretty popular writing software, though you mainly hear about it in writing circles so that might be why you never heard of it.

Some people have replied to the thread

The moment I read this comment is now my answer 😭😭😭

I was devastated to learn the creators intended it to be pronounced “jif” like the peanut butter brand

I haven’t read a lot in my RSS feed in a bit but here are my favorites:

• Buried Treasure - Reviews of hidden indie gems
• Dhole Moments - Writings about information security, cryptography, software, and humanity.
• Tales of the Aggronaut - A personal blog from Belghast about gaming, specifically MMOs, but there’s also a decent amount about his own personal life in the posts. That personal aspect of his blog appeals to me. He’s also on the Fediverse, and helps operate the Mastodon instance gamepad.club! You can find him at @belghast@gamepad.club
• Web3 is Going Just Great - A blog by Molly White tracking examples of how “things in the blockchains/crypto/web3 technology space aren’t actually going as well as its proponents might like you to believe.” I’m also subscribed to Molly’s reading list about blockchain stuff..
• Obsidian Roundup/Iceberg - A blog from Eleanor Konik about the Obsidian app. It’s about updates, workflow guides, new plugins, advice from other members, themes, and ancillary tools. I also recommend checking out the other tabs on Konik’s blog as she delves into history and world culture and even has fictional stories.
• MacStories - A blog about Apple tech and apps, including a lot of reviews which I really enjoy.
• The Digital Antiquarian - A blog about the history of computer entertainment, digital culture, and video games.
• AI Weirdness - Pretty self-explanatory. Highlights AI being weird.

This is a newsletter, but I also enjoy Garbage Day. I use Feedbin which allows me to have emails in my RSS feed.

Having federation between different platforms is a double edged sword because on one hand, I want to explore and experience the different platforms the Fediverse has to offer like Calckey/Firefish. On the other hand though, I feel like it wouldn’t be worth it because everything—or at least most things—are federated, so how much new content would I be seeing? On top of that, if I wanted to post something I’d have to choose which account I would post it to because crossposting would effectively be double posting which isn’t fun for anyone.

What terrible choices, out of curiosity?

I joined Raddle because I wanted to keep up with r/traa, r/egg_irl, and r/ennnnbbbyyyy 😭😭😭😭

Raddle and Tildes are open source

How do you know which language to use? And how do you know if you should stick to a language that you already know or if you should learn a new one?

Sorry if this is a dumb question I only just finished my first year of being a comp sci major

Not really a hack but I love using loose leaf paper with triangle holes that’s reinforced with tape. It’s called “College Ruled Reinforced Paper”. My papers don’t constantly rip out anymore.

Also I like refillable notebooks. They’re regular notebooks you can refill and much lighter and easier to carry.

Wait that meme format was Crowder?!
