you can't tell me it's nonaddictive

The theory of general relativity. Honestly, I understand it better now, and it's still pretty crazy.

I don't want to wear the same thing as last year, and I don't want to half-ass it because it's my favorite holiday, so I start planning it in July, and the plans get more and more elaborate, until finally it's October 29th, I'm scheduled doubles the next two days, my perfect costume is elaborately planned... but I haven't actually started on *making* it yet.

We're very specialized kinds of mathematicians, sometimes. In other languages the term is often "Information Science" and in German, IIRC, it's "Infomathics", both arguably better names. Theoretical Computer Scientists write mathematical proofs showing the limits of how information can be stored, transmitted, permuted, hidden, and extracted. Practicing Computer Scientist learn the current best ways to do the above and write implementations thereof. Examples: Storage: Compression algorithms like zip files, jpeg, mp3 Transmitted: protocols like FTP, HTTP, and yes, ActivityPub Permuted: A lot of sound editing is done by turning an array of of pitches over time into an array of frequencies over time, changing those frequencies, then turning them back. Hidden: Encryption, obviously, but also steganography Extracted: Decryption, obviously, but also natural speech processing and image recognition

bro doesn't even know about bubblegum goths, lmao

Seconding this. We're in freefall right now.

Similarly eating at work, but my workplace provides a hot meal (though not necessarily time to eat it while it's still hot).

!FolkPunkFolks@lemmy.zip is a *lot* more active than !FolkPunk@lemmy.tf

70% or so

No, I don't.

Thank God my depression doesn't come with a side serving of guilt. The self-blame is bad enough.

I'm sure someone else will cover the big ones for the US but I just want to chime in that my son's classmate is named Cattleya. (It's a type of orchid.)

They generally each get a new set of pajamas, a new set of gloves, and a new stylish sweatshirt or jacket every year. Sometimes those are from an aunt or grandparent, but usually from us. Most of the rest of their Christmas presents from us are via the gift economy. Toys, electronics, games, and media generally come from the grandparents, aunts, and uncles.

Be twice as annoying back.

So, some blogs *are* social media: Blogger, Blogspot, live journal are examples. The users of the site provide the content, have profiles and submissions, all that. But some are not! Dev blogs for software projects and site update blogs are good examples of this. They may or may not have comments but it's the proprietors of the websites providing the ordinary content. Who provides the content, users or proprietors, is what makes it social media or not.

Maaasybe but I'd be badly concussed.

Is someone just discovering anarchism?

No, both social. "Social media" means content is provided by the users, not the website proprietor.

don't rule out "Spike"

Depends on if you think of formal proofs as a kind of code, I guess.

undermine your internalized capitalism with this one weird trick

Wikipedia is, yes.

seconding Jelly

I don't think she meant "micro", no.

You mean besides Arch Linux?
