  • this site

    This isn't a site. It's a collection of sites (instances).
    \ If there is an instance that doesn't tolerate your kind of speech, then choose another instance that does.

    Be aware that two of the largest hardcore left-leaning instances (hexbear, ml) have been widely defederated (instance-blocked), so it's not fair to say that this only happens to right leaning or centrist ideas.

    The beauty (and point) of Lemmy and fediverse is that if you feel like you're being censored, you can join or make an instance of like-minded people, while still having access to the other area if you want it.
    \ Lemmy is uncensorable, but doesn't force people to listen to you.

  • It seems strange that these two curves so closely match eachother in shape.

    When 6month active users drop that means 6 months ago a user stopped using the platform.
    \ When monthly active users drop that means a month ago a user stopped using the platform.
    \ So this would suggest that there is a correlation between user attrition 6 months ago and last month.

  • Thank you!

    This is almost exactly my motivation when I recently started my homelab journey. A bit of privacy, but what pushed me over the edge is that I was supporting these anti-social corporations with my money or data, when they went fully mask-off.

  • Your argument you haven't made is backed up by math textbooks you haven't provided written for children.

    What is it that you want addressed?

    How can that specific order of operations be a law of mathematics if it only applies to infix notation, and not prefix or postfix notations? Laws of mathematics are universal across notations.

    Show me a textbook that discusses other notations and also says that order of operations is a law of mathematics.
    \ You don't have it, and you also aren't a maths teacher, or a teacher at all. Just because you say it a lot doesn't make it true.

  • Not really much, tbh.

    Decent quality door locks
    \ Clear line of sight from the street to likely entry points
    \ Loud alarms so if they do break in they're not likely to stay long

    If someone wants to get into a house, there isn't much you can do to stop them unless you're rich and can afford exotic shit like bullet proof glass windows and thick metal reinforced doors.
    \ All to can really do is discourage crimes of opportunity by making them seem like bad opportunities.

  • Man, this whole post has been embarrassing for you. Oof.

    I can't help but notice youve once again failed to address prefix and postfix notations.
    \ And that you've not actually made any argument other than "nuh uh"
    \ Not to mention the other threads you've been in. Yikes.

    We can all tell you're not a maths teacher.

  • To a "maths teacher"

    Yeah sure
    \ A "teacher" who doesn't know that all lessons are simplifications that get corrected at a higher level, and confidentiality refers to children's textbook as an infallible source of college level information.

    A "teacher" incapable of differentiating between rules of a convention and the laws of mathematics.

    A "teacher" incapable of looking up information on notations of their own specialization, and synthesizing it into coherent response.

    Uh huh, sounds totally legit

  • Without subversive profit incentives, the incentives become to make necessary-but-undesirable jobs more safe/pleasant/automated. Without worrying about their next paycheque, people can spend time on the issue.

    This requires a post-scarcity society that is fairly well developed, before they try to convert to communism.

    I wouldn't necessarily say that capitalism pays dangerous or unpleasant jobs well, though. Some do, but lots don't.

  • They don't, they apply to all notations

    I love how confident you are about something you clearly have no knowledge of.
    \ Adorable.

    Well, you made a good effort. At least if we're judging by word count.

  • Many of these rely on big words, or are actually pretty obviously insults even if you don't understand.

    The real gems are the ones that read like simple english compliments, unless you spend actual effort looking for the insult.

  • Wikipedia

    In mathematics and computer programming, the order of operations is a collection of conventions about which arithmetic operations to perform first in order to evaluate a given mathematical expression

    What's that? You don't trust Wikipedia?
    \ Ok, you've yet to explain why notations like prefix and postfix dont need these "rules".
    \ If they were _rules of mathematics itself_ how could they only apply to certain notations?
