Unless you’re in Indonesia how is learning that language useful at all?

The world is rapidly (compared to history) moving towards ONE language. We don’t know which one it’ll be but all the signs are there. One thing we know for certain though is that only today’s top 5 are contenders and Indonesian isn’t one of them.

Another thing we know is that languages that use ideographic writing systems are on the way out. The spoken language may survive but the written language just can’t compete with languages that use phonographic alphabets and spelling. It’s just too inefficient to remember all the symbols and write them out and it’s nearly impossible to write a program or script with them (and maintain such code).

It looks like latin characters are going to win out for sure. Probably with emoji being accepted as acceptable grammar/cues/hints at some point.

Maoster would like a word. Forget showing skin… It’s so cool it explicitly bans intellectuals from its platform.

Does the bottom say anything or is it just random characters?

Hall effect sensor expert here! No, the magnets in the joycons that are used to attach to the display/body of the Switch 2 would not interfere with hall effect analog sticks.

Two reasons:

• The magnets are too far away (sensors are usually only sensitive to magnets within 10-12mm directly above/below)
• The mounting/attachment magnets would be perpendicular to the magnets in the analog sticks (if you imagine the flux lines they wouldn’t cross the sensory boundary).

Regardless, it would be trivial to place a tiny little piece of ferromagnetic blocking tape wherever necessary to prevent interference.

You jest but automated blowguns with face recognition could be deadly and nearly impossible to spot!

All state legislatures have people that are nuts. Remember: Someone needs to represent the ignorant and stupid and also live there.

caoacity storage clusters.

At my work we use CoAssity clusters.

In college I would teach the latest quantum encabulator technology. I would open the class by hiding in a box and the students wouldn’t know if I was actually alive in the box until they opened it. At which point I would demonstrate the process of using a matter translation array and quantum encabulation to be able to find the answers to such things without having to actually open the box by way of deterministic reality differentiation using a standard wainscotted multiversimeter.

Reminder: TikTok is not actually important. Everyone can live their lives without TikTok, YouTube, etc. There’s an infinite amount of ways to entertain ourselves and there’s a lot of competing apps.

This isn’t the government abusing its power to shut down some small business/upstart. It’s shutting down a serious national security threat and a monopoly. TikTok has abused their position many times in many ways, refused to cooperate, and has reached the, “find out” phase.

Yes but diversity is good 👍

Why let the Chinese get all the eyeballs for propaganda? Surely we should give other nations a chance?

IMHO they should shut down every app that is both popular and has an exceedingly difficult to penetrate monopoly. Let the competitors rush in and do a it again when the same situation occurs!

Finally the Jews can have their own version of Jeezits!

Nobody is learning Mandarin. Not even the Chinese! LOL

They’re all relying on automatic translation and even the Chinese are using speech recognition to enter characters on their phones. The written language is rapidly being forgotten.

…which is the destiny of all pictographic and logographic languages so it shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing, necessarily 🤷

Yeah but under the current misinformation curve the people who rely on government support the most will direct their anger at those that are trying to help them.

Their not the only ones who should be punished!

Your marbles.

Fake! I don’t see the default cube anywhere!

The first pic had nine default cubes and some raspberries 🤔

He started labelling random shit as masculine/feminine.

FYI: This is totally normal in France.

Says the guy that won’t allow Meta Quest developers the same level of access to their own hardware. Example: How would someone develop a 3rd party controller for the Quest VR headsets? You can’t. They haven’t exposed that API (or the cameras fully!).

They don’t even let you set the clock on your Quest headset! Need to change timezones? Factory Reset

Tim Sweeney: They should stop pretending and be genuine assholes… Like me!

The enemy is the deniers of this science
