It’s because they solved all the version control problems, but not accessibility and discoverability. I’m probably not going to try and use git peer-to-peer with a total stranger.

shitty LLM-generated nonsense sites

It’s kind of impossible to filter these out computationally, regardless of brand. You pretty much need to run them through a bigger LLM than generated them, and the economics of doing that for every indexed site are obviously bad. Doing it by hand may or may not be workable either, depending on how quickly you can detect bad domains versus how quickly a new domain can be put up.

It’s on us to figure out who’s trustworthy, and who just sounds authoritative, unfortunately.

Yeah, they were big on arts (and had the civilisation to actually sponsor a lot of it) but with a strong bent towards geometric and abstract art, and calligraphy. Y’know, like mosques are famously covered in.

They also had a thing for water features and gardens, which are the actual articles instead of mere depictions. I’m wondering now if they had much in the way of zoos.

And honestly, it could be that 90% wouldn’t know what the HRE was or who the Kaiser was once you told them. It’s just not a thing that usually comes up in everyday life.

TBH I knew about the Kaiserreich, but I had to look up the first one myself. It was the Holy Roman Empire. (Which wasn’t really much of a reich, but the Nazis weren’t noted for their attention to historical accuracy)

Yes, it’s true, you do. Left doesn’t really imply an up so much as it comes as a package with one, though. I’m not OP, but historically I had the same issue. I just didn’t automatically jump to “in is down, and I’m on the rim”, and instead was thinking about my actual physical left and right at that moment.

Ah, so the car isn’t even important. You’re one of the people imagining standing on the screw. As long as you have a convention about which way is “up” on it, that does work.

Oh, I see.

Car steering wheels work that way because of the convention. Change the side that the steering column’s pinion meets the rack and the wheel would work the opposite way. From the mathematical perspective, there’s two ways to continuously map an arc of the steering wheel to an arc of the wheels, and since they aren’t in the same plane neither is “wrong”.

See, that’s what we need to settle the debate about the biological status of viruses. A fatwa.

Maybe they can decide between tabs and spaces next.

Well, I know less about music, but iconoclasm is a pretty traditional feature of Islam. That’s why they have all the crazy geometrical art everywhere.

That’s accurate to historical Islamic practice, unlike a lot of their crazy shit, but nobody else does it because it’s going to be insanely difficult to work with.

Slightly, anyway. If you’re both standing over the thing it can potentially be agreed on. If you’re all over the place working on some big machine you need to use some language, and I’m not aware of a standard way to do it.

Wrist is going left.

So you’re explaining rotation, in terms of a smaller imaginary rotation, which engages with imaginary traction wheels, which engage with the work to be turned?

If that works for you, great, but it is complicated.

SAME!

Even “clockwise/counter-clockwise” is a bit vague if you’re not both on the same side of the thing, since something turning clockwise from one perspective turns counter seen from the opposite side.

Probably someone did. Not all English-speakers know about the first two, or have thought to ask.

Suuure. I’ve played this game enough to know that it doesn’t matter what decision you make, someone is going to be loudly unhappy. This is always the case; it’s not a game you can win by appealing to the true will of the shitposters, because that doesn’t exist.

Love has nothing to do with it. Some people enjoy conflict.

Downvote away, my sparkly sluts.

Yeah, I don’t expect anything to single-handedly solve the problem.

Ah yes, people roasting volunteer mods about a thing they could easily ignore. We’re encroaching more and more on Reddit’s turf every day.

MSN is cancerous and was barely usable the last few times I’ve been bamboozled into going there. Yahoo is the same, just easier to avoid. I honestly haven’t run into the Google one.

They literally add nothing to the internet as far as I can tell.
