@futurebird @dancingtreefrog I vote for digits too. And you can make an example of weird digits even before getting to base 16 if you want to try your luck at teach them about balanced ternary after showing them the classic unbalanced version (use the the upper-side down 1 for the -1 value in writing, or T if typing: «why T?» «Because the Setun never gained commercial success»).

@futurebird this is hard to reply to because:(1) phone booths have become extremely rare, but they still exist and work(2) I have found a couple of solar powered bench chargers with USB ports around but never managed to get them to work reliably.So on the one hand, I'd like to check a couple of those, OTOH, «not really»?

@cwebber dunno, I'm feeling some great potential for a crossover with that wooden blocks fitting meme.«That's right, it goes in the slophole.»

@vriska luckily there's only 20 of them.

@futurebird integer divide. Floor divide may or may not be appropriate for negative operands depending on how it is defined.

I've had a thought about the whole #Discord thing. One of the reasons why it has become so popular even as a “#forum” thing, despite being *utterly unusable* in that sense, is that is provided single sign-on. Once logged into Discord, you could trivially join any community with zero to no effort. Compare this with the sign-up process in *any* other context and it becomes pretty clear.The only other place that offered a comparable experience was basically reddit, with its own sets of problems.

The migration from #Discord to anything else will not be a problem *only* because e.g. other chat systems to not provide a comparable UX, but *also* because each community going each separate way for *anything* (be it #chat or #forum) is that the first-time login/sign-up will have more friction than the funneling to Discord had.

One of the posts I saw in my timeline recently about the whole thing was pointing out that whatever is going to be proposed as a Discord alternative should focus on the UX, not on the kind of features that us nerds love, such as federation (or even security).I'll add to that this kind of seamless joining UX *is* something whose absence will reduce community participation.And while we're at it, I'll repeat something I've already mentioned: we need something like for the #Fediverse too.

One of the frustrating aspects of the #Fediverse remains the web-based cross-instance interaction. If I follow a link to a post anywhere on the Fediverse, and I want to interact with it in any way, the “flow” is still too cumbersome, especially when I want to interact with multiple different posts from the same instance.The effort that has gone into #Mastodon to improve the UX from this side *has* improved the situation since 2022 (when I joined), but even on Mastodon it's still suboptimal.

Ideally, #Fediverse platforms should be able to interoperate at a deeper level. I should be able to browse a #Lemmy #PeerTube or #PixelFed instance with my #Mastodon account, or vice versa.My understanding is that (some of) the platforms ideated by Mike Macgirvin (#HubZilla and #streams in particular, not sure about #Friendica) have this kind of integration (as well as other nifty features such as nomadic identities). Can we expand support for this to all Fedi platforms, I wonder?

@larsmb oh well, time to reset the sign «it has been 0 days since a self-proclaimed libertarian turned out to be OK with Nazis.»

@genmaicha @larsmb about as unsurprising as him defending having sex with minors.

@oloturia @zanmarco @kenobit «la direzione sbagliata». Perché non sarebbe mai esistito? Perché il nostro tempo è fagocitato dal servizio per altri.
