As you approach 0°F it is getting dangerously cold. As you approach 100°F it’s getting dangerously hot. Celsius is obviously better scientifically, but fahrenheit is pretty reasonable for everyday use (unlike other imperial measurements).

News@lemmy.world•User anger as Amazon ends support for some older KindlesEnglish
6·17 days agoCalibre is the main program for doing most things with ebooks. It’s plug-in support allows for things like deDRM that you can use for stripping DRM. There are a lot of tutorials out there for it.
K is already guessed, unfortunately.

Technology@beehaw.org•What will happen if the Linux kernel starts having AI generated code in it?English
2·2 months agoOh, I need a bunch of slightly different unit tests to cover a bunch of different cases. {AI} write the unit tests for me to review.
This is my main use case that ends to saving a lot of time not writing boilerplate code.

19·3 months agoYeah, I wish there was a good way for third party clients to detect game updates, though.
Listen bub, us North American River otters can be engineers, too. It’s just that societal structures that hold many of my fellow species back. I don’t appreciate the generalizations.
I would beg to differ:
Semiconductors work by having electrical conductivity that can be controlled and modified, allowing them to act as either conductors or insulators depending on conditions. This is achieved through a process called doping, where impurities are added to the semiconductor material, creating regions that can conduct electricity more easily.

171·6 months agoThe finals looked interesting, but on launch EAC wasn’t allowing Linux to play and by the time they fixed my friend group had moved on because of that.
Oh of course. Trying to guess the wild logic behind it.
Maybe a default number to have in for the temperature when location isn’t set? Would then probably assume fahrenheit where 75 is just a warm day.

Watches@lemmy.ml•Question: Can someone help me with what the complications on this watch are for?English
2·7 months agoThe top is functional as a 24 hr and the left as a 12 hr. For whatever reason the face of those doesn’t match the function ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Watches@lemmy.ml•Question: Can someone help me with what the complications on this watch are for?English
2·7 months agoLooks to be about the case. The buttons cause what appears to be a 1/24 and 1/12 in the top and left respectively. So I think that is what is going on, but the numbers just don’t make any sense to me…
Edit: After playing with a bit I think that’s exactly what’s going on. For some reason the 24 hour face is two blocks of ten which twice decimal time. Very odd, but that does seem to be what’s happening. And the 12 hour on the left just has the minute numbers for a hand that only does hours.

Watches@lemmy.ml•Question: Can someone help me with what the complications on this watch are for?English
3·7 months agoIt doesn’t appear to be a chronograph. The bottom one moves in time with the minutes. The buttons on top and bottom seem to be in line with the idea of a 24 hour on top and a 12 hour on the left by causing them to move forward/backward by about 1/24 and 1/12 of a rotation respectively. I’m very confused as to what the numbers mean in this case.
Yeah… I want to host mail, but I loath the idea of hosting my own mail.




Of course. I’m just adding that there is some logic to fahrenheit in day to day use.
