Any pronouns. 33.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • What is the strangest math that turned out to be useful?

  • It's funny that you're saying this is "actively suppressed" while not naming this field or providing links for further readings.

  • RSA mostly uses 4096 bit keys nowadays. DSA is no longer used (or shouldn't be lol). Ed25519 uses 256 bit keys.

  • I am pretty sure that the first thing you mentioned (multiplying being easy and factoring being hard) is the basis of public key cryptography which is how HTTPS works.

  • It's imaginary numbers. Full stop. No debate about it. The idea of them is so wild that they were literally named imaginary numbers to demonstrate how silly they were, and yet they can be used to describe real things in nature.

  • any advice on buying a window AC unit?

    Jump

  • DO NOT BUY ONE THAT SITS IN YOUR ROOM. The ones that sit in the window are better because the heat is already outside instead of having to go through a tube.

  • Why do you think I'm advocating for getting rid of CSS and not being silly?

  • Hey folks, it's easy. Leave your leaves in the fall. It will take two years of this. The first year they'll nest there the next they'll hatch. I've been doing it for two years and have more. Especially my front yard where I've never seen them before.

    Also, the other day I saw one in a spider web and it flashed back when I put my flashlight on it. (Which is really sad lol.) I did it a second time to check and it did it back a second time. Definitely wasn't coincidence. So all the talk about lights on in your house absolutely is true and it probably confuses them. To the best of your ability turn off lights or at least close curtains and blinds. Definitely turn off porch lights.

    They're magical. The sounds and sights of a summer evening are truly an enchanting experience. Especially after dealing with a stupidly hot day lol.

  • What architectural style would you like to see come back?

  • Neofuturism.

  • If you could add any new rule to a sport or game you enjoy, what rule and why?

    Jump

  • I'm not super into sports so I don't know what the best specific rule to deal with this would be, but there needs to be more accountability for bad calls from referees.

  • I'm not going to spend hours downloading all of those and comparing and contrasting how easy I find their UIs. Some people have different hobbies. Imagine that, holy shit!

  • Would you become romantically involved with someone with vastly different religious views?

    Jump

  • I was raised Christian and am now atheist. I would have a very difficult time being romantic with anyone who calls themself Christian. I have come to despise all levels of it. I don't believe in the existence of the super natural. I don't believe in the Christian creation myth. I don't believe in the resurrection or any miracles of Jesus. I believe most churches are cults that we give a free pass to be cults because it's more socially acceptable. I believe religion did great harm to me growing up and I believe it does great harm to many other young people. I could go on, but that's the gist. If someone was somehow Christian and agreed with me on all of those points there might be a chance but I'd still view it as strange that they didn't see the whole thing as a scam and renounce their faith.

    People from other religions I may have similar problems with because even though religions are different their effects are often similar. Even a staunchly pro LGBT church/religion I would have difficulty meshing with because my problems go so much deeper than that.

    An exception would be people who are "spiritual" but not "religious". While I myself am quite skeptical, I am still open to the idea that there's more. And even if there's not, sometimes it's fun and/or beneficial to pretend that there is. So long as they themselves are similarly open to the ideas that they could be wrong and that others could be right I think I could get along quite well with people like this. The truth is I still have moments I would call religious experiences, but I don't believe they're revelations of truth. They're still interesting and fun to talk about. Like dreams.

    How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?

    Jump

  • most of us are here, because we got permabanned on reddit early this year, or shadowbanned recently.

    Doubt. A lot of us are here because of the API changes in July of 2023.

    Jump

  • I use Lemmy 99.999% of the time. I asked a plumbing question on Reddit, some radio questions a few months back, and that's really all I can remember. I don't browse it. I don't avoid it if search results go there though. But I don't seek it out often at all.

  • Don't think for a second that I'm approving of Andrew Tate types lol. I'm just saying if there wasn't incentive then they wouldn't be able to profit off of it. Maybe we're using different definitions of incentive. Or maybe you mean to actually make a true working long term fix for men as opposed to just content that monetizes off of it.
