I can live with that haha. Memerijen sounds like the more formal word. But it’s also silly so it’s okay

“Dude check this; they’re posting non-English memes on Lemmy”. It’s a picture of our king and former prime minister watching something funny instead of paying attention to the serious (UN?) meeting they’re in

Oh no definitely not. Unless it’s a meme haha. Among friends we regularly don’t send a tikkie even when getting beer or something, because you know it’s probably gonna be repaid sometime. As friends you definitely don’t always need to even the books

Yeah “ikiks” wouldn’t really work haha. “Mijmijs”? Idk at R*ddit people used “meems” in the Dutchs communities. Sounds logical to me, it’s a Dutch sounding word that believably could be “meme” in english. Just like “name” is “naam” in Dutch.

Yeah. We use it to settle a lot of things with friends etc. Going out for dinner or having a drink at someone’s place? Split the bill and send everyone a Tikkie. Sometimes there’s even multiple because someone paid for the beer and someone else for the pizza.

For context: in the Netherlands we generally pay using debit card instead of physical money or credit card. Almost every bank has their own “Tikkie” service nowadays. There’s also Splitser, which allows you to keep track of who paid for what over a longer timeframe with more people. Like a holiday with friends.

This is what my German teacher meant when he said that I’d “need it someday”.

Supertoll. Danke schön. Ich hätte auch gerne ein Pedalo.

I personally haven’t seen that either, but that’s what the meme says. Not necessarily that I think happens often

Oh yeah, the “information wants to be free” thing shouldn’t be attached to techbros. Totally agreed. I think the meme is meant to show a devolution from a tech activist into techbro, but obviously not everyone followed that pipeline. I used to be in the “information wants to be free” and privacy-focused camp 10 years ago and I still am. There will be plenty of us.

I have this on one of the digicams I own. I don’t think the designers ever considered that it would still be used in the year of our lord 2025. It’s probably from 2010 or something, and it has this horrendous touch UI for selecting the date. You have to press down like 15 times to get to 2025, but due to the laggy unresponsive UI and touchscreen, this is quite the journey. Obviously it forgets the date whenever I take the battery out to charge it.

I know the little thing isn’t sentient, but I still like to imagine it getting more and more astounded as the years increment further and further in the date selector.

“Techbro” is a specific name for a subsection of the tech population who have become complete douche canoes (much like the middle and right people in the image). The crypto/AI/whatever people. These people are mostly male.

All kinds of awesome people work in tech, but they are not considered “tech bro”, just cool tech people.

Personally I like the @ way more. You even read it as “at”, which makes sense in this context. “Gerryflap at feddit.nl” instantly makes sense. It aligns with email, so it also makes it easier for newcomers.

I’m still not sure what to think of early access. On the one hand, it is too often an excuse to push a buggy mess. That shit is seriously annoying.

But if it’s done right, it can allow developers to make games that are way larger than they otherwise could. In the end development costs money, so with only X million dollars of upfront investment you will run out at some point. With early access they can extend the money pile further, and therefore they can keep extending the scope of the game way beyond what would otherwise be possible as long as the game is popular enough. But then the focus should be on delivering a mostly stable core experience instead of a buggy unbalanced mess.

Imo it worked quite well for games like Factorio, Valheim, Satisfactory. I had like 80 hours in Satisfactory way before the official release, and then another 100 hours or so with friends a bit later (also before the final release). While there were definitely some bugs, the experience overall was worth my money and I was happy to be able to play it already.

Nah. Text > in person >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> video call > audio call. I hate calls so much. With in person communication people can at least see that I don’t have time for them, and I can also see them coming. I also find it easier to keep my train of thought while talking in person.

Calls are like a random interruption of everything I’m doing and therefore catch me by complete surprise, causing stress. Usually it completely clears my working memory, meaning that I have to spend time and energy to get back to what I was doing.

Yeah that’d explain some stuff. Happy to have switched to Linux

“AI” brought a lot of bad things, but this shit is pretty good. In the thumbnail I only see the text, but when the image opened in full size it looked like a completely different image without the text. The brain is a funky little meat computer

I’ve switched a few months ago. Plenty of issues, but none of them major enough anymore to go back again. All games I play regularly apart from Assetto Corsa work, and AC should also be fixable as far as I read.

Just a few days ago I got the first racing sim working properly with my wheel. AC doesn’t start yet and Automobilista 2 does not match the irl steering wheel movements (this also happened on Windows sometimes), but ACC worked without much of an issue.

For music production I also got most of my setup working. I’m having a lot of issues with opening my old projects, but I wasn’t actively working on them anyways and with some effort I can get them back. Still some issues like the Vital synth CLAP version crashing when the window is opened and the Splice sample thingy not allowing drag and drop, but we’ll get there. For new projects it’s mostly workable.

Basically everything else I need just works. Games, photography stuff, everyday programs, and obviously my programming stuff because it was already on Linux.

I use Arch by the way :3

Ah thanks for the info! Together with the other in-depth comment this is painting a good picture of what’s happening. Though I have some terms to study before I’ll get it.

Okay I have some reading to do haha. Thanks for the explanation!

As a programmer (who also did quite some math) it never ceases to amaze me how often math just uses single character variable/function names that apparently have a specific meaning. For instance the P^(n)® thingy. Without knowing this specific notation, one might easily assume it meant something else like power sets. Even within the niche I’m more familiar with (machine learning) there was plenty of that stuff going around.

Then again, this meme has an incentive to make it harder, it wouldn’t be funny if it explained symbols.

Yeah this was a possibility I was thinking as well. The superscript n could just be n recursive applications, but then n is still not defined. It’s one of the things that makes me thing that it’s just nonsense. Also, how do you do math on Lemmy? Can you just use LaTeX math syntax or did you copy those symbols?

Okay, so:

1. 🍇 = 1, because 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
2. Therefore, 🍪 = 2, because 2 - 1 - 1 = 0
3. 🥪 is the set of all integer numbers Z, as defined
4. I am not sure about 🍔, but I assume that it’s the set of integers with all even numbers removed, therefore it’s the set of all odd numbers.

Beyond that starts the nonsense for me. I’m very curious whether that stuff actually checks out. Some of the terms I remember from group theory, but other stuff seems incorrect to my (limited) knowledge.

• The second definition of 🍕 seems to contain redundant information, as far as I can see " --> " defines a morphism, so why does the predicate “φ is a morphism” matter?

• The first definition of 🍕 with the contravariant thing also doesn’t parse for me, what does that “-” mean in the function arguments?

• In the definition of 🌭, what is the n (or the P)? ChatGPT started yapping about real projective space, but I’m not sure if that’s correct.

If there’s an actual mathematician here who knows then I’d love to know the answer. I’ve kinda been nerd sniped by this question but I don’t possess the knowledge to fully get this one
