Ask Electronics@discuss.tchncs.de•Buying a used Voltcraft VC-5070 analog multimeter good idea for hobby electronics?English
3·20 days agoI think it’s a good idea. I’d certainly get that over a new 25 bucks digital meter.
If ever you get more serious about electronics and want/need to buy a good dmm, an analog meter can still be useful alongside it.
Just one of the most important figures of the Paris commune and, as a side note, the first to wave the black flag.
You seem to misunderstand what anarchism means however

politics @lemmy.world•Canada could join EU, French foreign minister saysEnglish
4·1 month agoCountries can join the EU without switching to the euro.
Now I’m picturing snakes wearing fancy dresses and elaborate masks
The best jokes are still in the comments though
Regarding the other errors, it seems your compiler is simply on strike. This can happen occasionally when compiling french code, and should fix itself in a few days.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone else identify with a culture due to upbringing that doesn't show up significantly on an ancestry test?English
12·2 months agoCulture and identity has little to do with ancestry or actual ethnicity. It’s strongly correlated but ultimately we are what we were raised to be.
Elected US Politicians represent the political spectrum of electoral US politics? Wow, thanks for the insight.
The full spectrum on a left/right axis in a liberal democracy is actually not that subjective. It’s bordered on the left and right by people who actually reject the liberal democracy: the far left who want to overthrow the system to achieve better equality and conditions for the greater number, and the far right, who want to overthrow the system to achieve stronger privileges for the in-group they belong to.
Indeed, US politicians do not represent the full spectrum of ideas in between those extremes. The political spectrum of the US is what it is, sure, and that’s actually what this meme is all about.
No it wouldn’t, it’d be very busy sleeping, which is all it does outside of the few hours when I’m home and awake.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?English
5·2 months agoExcept that’s not what we mean when we talk about ghosts. Ghosts are meant to be actual beings with an actual existence, if very different from living beings.
The concept of ghosts exist (as does for all things for which we have words). Some people do believe ghosts exists, and some might have seen ghosts (just like someone actually sees a hallucination). All this doesn’t mean ghosts exist, or else the actual concept of non-existence doesn’t exist - which makes the fallacy evident: if we are to consider that all concepts actually exist (further than just an idea), non-existence has to exist.

Programmer Humor•Don't grow older than 255 or else it will overflowEnglish
2·2 months agoThe way I see it, if you want to be pedantic about it (it being a joke photo, so potentially unintentionally reversed by the camera, of a cake which is in 3d space and can be seen in both directions) you might as well do it properly and acknowledge that different orders exist for bits.
Indeed writing conventions are also a good point, however this is not writing. People actually working at bit level are probably more likely to see bits on a scope (so in both LSb or MSb order) than as 1 and 0s written on a piece of paper or a screen.

Programmer Humor•Don't grow older than 255 or else it will overflowEnglish
2·2 months agoIndeed, endianness is the order of bytes, my bad. I guess I meant LSb vs MSb
For those wondering this cryptic post is a copy/paste of a Reddit post, stating that over 135K OpenClaw agents are connected to the internet, reminding how fundamentally unsecure OpenClaw is. The bad idea referenced in the post title:
The (bad) idea: Breach all machines and transform them in the first ai-assisted autonomous tor-enabled self-growing botnet Target OpenAI infrastructure Sit back and laugh

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the best way to (start) learning a language?English
5·2 months agoI’m surprised no one seemed to mention this yet but IMO the best way is to find a good teacher.
Books (preferably with some sort of audio media) and apps can be decent but you need a lot of self-discipline and they won’t adapt to what you are struggling with.
Of course, nothing beats full immersion in a society that only speaks the language you want to learn, but even that, a complete beginner will be much better off with an actual teacher.

big-endianLSb orlittle-endianMSb. In other words, both directions can be valid.As explained below: Endianness is specifically the order of bytes. I was under the impression that it also implied a specific order of bits but anyways, the correct terms for this discussion is Least/Most Significant bit order.
they were saying the platform is full of porn and gore and stuff. Another user was saying that they wouldn’t be surprised if Zionists were filling up the platform with such stuff
Haven’t spent too much time on it but I’ve seen absolutely no porn on it and on the only “gory” stuff I’ve seen on it is related to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. I suppose hasbara trolls could add shitty content to it, I’d figure it’s much more likely that they give it a bad reputation by spreading lies on other social media.
Ultimately I don’t really trust it too much, although I deem it miles more trustworthy than established mainstream social media. Yet it remains a privately owned for profit social media that already plans to serve ads (says so on their faq)and as such, seems doomed to be enshittified at some point.
Personally, I had no issue subscribing with my own domain.
I know, but she also works at Meta, not sure what you would expect.






Then again, it feel very adhd-like to think about everything except the most obvious
