Bolivian Government Denounces Attempted Coup D’éTat
  • lol, i just accepted the title tag from the page which the create post form auto-filled 🤡

  • Props to Alpine and Kali for disabling this bullshit out of the box
  • Redhat, however, found this solution too simple and instead devised their own scheme for assigning network interface names. It fails at solving the problem it was created to solve

    I somehow first read "Redhat" as "Reddit" in this sentence, and so was briefly thinking that perhaps this bad idea originated there 😂

  • There are better ways to protest climate change than spray painting Stonehenge [with easily removed corn starch] | Just Stop Oil activists could take a page from the civil rights movement, experts say
  • Otoh, the Washington Post and their "experts" didn't think any of those civil rights movement direct actions they're celebrating now were reasonable at the time either 🤡

  • Chat control vote postponed
    www.patrick-breyer.de Chat control vote postponed: Huge success in defense of digital privacy of correspondence!

    Today EU governments will not adopt their position on the EU regulation on “combating child sexual abuse”, the so-called chat control regulation, as planned, which would have heralded the end of private messages and secure encryption. The Belgian Council presidency postponed the vote at short notice

    Photographs of the front and back of Apple's original Mac 128k. A finger is touching the power switch on the back, and a hand is inserting a floppy disk into the front. Text below reads: Insert the Macintosh System Disk into the disk drive, metal end first, label side up. Push the disk until it clicks into place. The soft hum is your Macintosh getting information from the disk. A message appears, welcoming you to Macintosh.

    Why do so many people still hate GrapheneOS?
  • If you're ready to break free of Android, I would recommend https://postmarketos.org/ though it only works well on a small (but growing!) number of devices.

    imho if you want to (or must) run Android and have (or don't mind getting) a Pixel, Graphene is an OK choice, but CalyxOS is good too and runs on a few more devices.

  • agile is far left too. I will die on this hill
  • i guess maybe if you're using a device with a tiny screen and a lemmy client that doesn't let you zoom in on images

  • How to become a moderator of an external community?
  • Hi, I'm an admin on lemmy.ml. The account of the one existing mod of the session community here has apparently been deleted.

    I've heard there are some bugs with moderation of remote communities, but, I just made you a mod there anyway. I don't know the state of those bugs; it might work better if you made an account on this instance.

    Btw, I recommend against using Session for a variety of reasons including the one I posted in your thread here.

  • Why do so many people still hate GrapheneOS?
  • It’s literally a covert project funded by google to both sell pixels and harvest data of “privooocy” minded users. It seems to be working well.

    Is it actually funded by Google? Citation needed.

    I would assume Graphene users make up a statistically insignificant number of Pixel buyers, and most of the users of it I've met opt to use it without any Google services.

  • there is no rule
  • 17 × 59 = 10003

    you've got an extra zero in there, and you forgot the 1, but the rest of your divisors match my crude brute-force approach:

    >>> n=31521281
    >>> d = [ x for x in range(1,n//2+1) if not n%x ]
    >>> d
    [1, 11, 17, 59, 187, 649, 1003, 2857, 11033, 31427, 48569, 168563, 534259, 1854193, 2865571]
    >>> yours=list(map(int,"11+17+59+2857+11033+534259+1854193+2865571+168563+48569+10003+31427+649+187".split("+")))
    >>> set(yours) - set(d)
    {10003}
    >>> set(d) - set(yours)
    {1, 1003}
    >>> sum(d)
    5518399
    

    same conclusion though: 5518399 also ≠ 31521281

    bonus nonsense
    >>> isperfect = lambda n: n == sum(x for x in range(1,n//2+1) if not n%x)
    >>> [n for n in range(1, 10000) if isperfect(n)]
    [6, 28, 496, 8128]
    

    (from https://oeis.org/A000396 i see the next perfect number after 8128 is 33550336 which is too big for me to wait for the naive approach above to test...)

    more bonus nonsense
    >>> divisors_if_perfect = lambda n: n == sum(d:=[x for x in range(1,n//2+1) if not n%x]) and d
    >>> print("\n".join(f"{n:>5} == sum{tuple(d)}" for n in range(10000) if (d:=divisors_if_perfect(n))))
        6 == sum(1, 2, 3)
       28 == sum(1, 2, 4, 7, 14)
      496 == sum(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248)
     8128 == sum(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 127, 254, 508, 1016, 2032, 4064)

  • shoutout to the person who reported this post with "Reason: Bot meme, you can't even read it. whoever replies is a bot too" 😂

  • A lasting legacy
  • it’s the same joke as “caesar salad was invented by julius caesar”

    Except it's a bit different because the Caesar in Caesar salad (named after chef Caesar Cardini) is actually spelled the same way as Julius Caesar, whereas Neapolitan (meaning of Naples) is not related to the name Napoleon at all.

    It hadn't occurred to me that Neapolitan ice cream might have something to do with the name Napoleon before I saw this meme; the similarity of the words and incorrect implication that they are related is what makes it funny.

  • A lasting legacy
  • I think OP has no idea that it’s called Neapolitan ice cream

    "Confused Nick Young" meme (image of a man with a perplexed facial expression and three question marks on each side of his head)

    (i think you're mistaken, and also that OP's meme is good)

  • Neapolitan ice cream is not named after Napoleon
