  • actually we start numbering by minimising the number of highest order addition, which is the isobutyl, if it gets same number regardless, then we try to minimise the sum of numbers, so i think it should be called

    5-(isobutyl)-5,6,6,7,8-penta-ethyl-8-methyl-decane (I am assuming hydrogen's are present, just not represented, because that usually is the case)

    I may alo be wrong here, it has been 4 years since I have been required to do nomenclature myself

  • What does your OS do that I should steal?

  • it is not really "code" - it is a fancy shell script stringing a launcher like thing (if you have seen people use dmenu or rofi to launch applications and make menus, it is just that, but repurposed to do more). I just realised i forgot to add link the article (the said write up in the original comment) https://sga.codeberg.page/articles/Launcher/Launcher_for_Everything.html. Since then I have made many changes, and here is the script

    Although I was actually considering a rust rewrite, because I am learning it, and 150ms is way to long for me

  • I made a launcher inspired initially by kde's krunner, tries to do everything with a launcher, keeps the keyboard shortcuts to minimum, but having almost everything within a few keystrokes. Most things are os/de/wm agnostic. Since the write up, I have added a bluetooth device selector, network connections, vpns, and more stuff.

    edit: sorry I forgot to add the link - https://sga.codeberg.page/articles/Launcher/Launcher_for_Everything.html#how-does-this-work

    Say I have US$10,000. What's the best use of that money if my goal is to stop climate change?

  • Start a fund raiser, do advertisement, (make some donations your self so that it does not look dead) - ones you get a lot of money (lets say you have doubled) - start again and repeat until you double - within 10 cycles of doublings, you reach 10 million, and keep doing until you get rich enough (lets say 10 more cycles to reach 10B) then you have 2 paths to choose - either be a hero and actual invest in research and actively reversing shit done, maybe helping displaced or other good deeds, or the mlm path, and continue the doubling cycle, keep earning - with this much money, you can now have actors and fake donations, maybe even fake researches into how you are helping, and keep growing your wealth, and maybe then escape to a tax heaven.

    Apologies for the dystopian ending, but realistically a person even going full carbon negative is not even a dent. If you actually want to do good, then you realistically require trillions, and then you feed that money to politicians, and reverse launder your way towards actual green solutions.

  • there is a hindi song which is sorta long (5 mins without music, 6 with) - Breathless (not really breathless, but full song done in just 16 breaths(that is roughly 3 per minute), but almost none are easily audible) - it is a romance story - meetup - love blossom - heart break - life ruined - reunion - together forever. The lyricist is one of the best hindi/urdu lyricist, maybe among the best in the world

    also there are many old classical concerts (for example - beethoven) which are music only and at times were in conjunction with plays or dramas going through stories

  • What pieces of software can you recommend that's free, efficient and does not bullshit around?

    Jump

  • yes, both vlc and mpv use libffmpeg, but they sometimes have different support because of different version, or while compiling, they may enable/disable some optional bits

  • You have 300billion dollars to use for the good of the country/planet. What do you do?

    Jump

  • not a economist, but no, it does not help (at least not really in short term, in very long it does pay okay-ish (depends on what kind of debt is it, but it can help keep ties with other nations intact))

  • Lemmings, how good or bad would you decribe your ability to remember things?

    Jump

  • ecc can only help prevent (or fix) errors, what to do about lack of memory. that brings me back to, what was the question again

  • Lemmings, how good or bad would you decribe your ability to remember things?

    Jump

  • extremely bad, but it depend on what things, like i can't remember what was my last meal or something, but i can remember "stem" (can't think of a better word here) fairly.

  • How do you write a lengthy, informative comment/post?

    Jump

  • Most people have already written the most things, being passionate and explaining well, but for me it is - I do not interact much, if I dont have anything new to add, I usually don't, If I got interested enough to comment, then I must have something to speak on it, and if no one else has (I first search for other comments, If I find same stuff, I just upvote their comment and move on) then I am past a threshold where I can write something long.

  • Is anyone here not from reddit?

    Jump

  • Maybe I dont count, but I was a reddit mild lurker, I would check something like r/memes every week, and also r/linux with similar frequency, and learnt about lemmy close to reddit API stuff, and made a lemmy account sometime after

  • sleep

  • Lemmy should have a community called lemmy_guess

  • I agree, those are just 2 examples of people doing fact finding, idea is someone will post something, and other lemmings will do what people in the video did

  • if you looking for a good alternative for google search, try "SearXNG"

    Jump

  • I completely agree with you, and what i wrote was in haste, essentially, what i wanted to say, was that an individual running searxng does not provide the anonymity benefits you would get by using some public instance, but it it still better because you are not directly using google or whatever website, and now searxng kinda acts like a browser between you and them, which does limited conversation - there aren't any js based fingerprinting. I also use searxng locally, i cant stand the constant rate limiting of public servers, or sometimes only a few engines are blocked, and variation in result quality is unacceptable to me. I just wanted to add that bit for transparency,

  • if you looking for a good alternative for google search, try "SearXNG"

    Jump

  • If you are on a desktop, you can run it locally, you are much less likely to be rate limited, but this comes at cost of your ip being still visible to google or whatever search engine you choose to scrape from
