Good on you for just casually getting a computational physics degree without inherent math talent... like holy shit that's impressive!

I have also cried over coursework on linear algebra as well as electricity and magnetism :') Brutal stuff.

With math, is it arithmetic that gives you trouble or the actual symbolic manipulation of mathematics?

I am hot garbage at keeping track of numbers but turn those fuckers into letters and (at least for me) it's off to the races. Then I just convert everything back to numbers in the last step before jamming it all into a calculator. This method saved my ass in 400-level biochemistry courses. (Annoyed the shit out of the grad students grading my exams, I'm sure...)

You may be better at "math" than you think :]

 

Something you're just good at with minimal effort and/or you learned much more quickly than average.

For me, it's paper snowflakes. My brain just seems to effortlessly figure out what cuts to make to the paper wedge to make it turn out exactly how I want it. Largely useless, but good fun and was a much-needed ego boost when I was a kid :]

I'm gay but I'm a lady so a regular log cabin is already pretty butch if I build it 😁

I was also having the Jerboa startup crashes starting yesterday. Version 0.0.35 fixed it for me (it's not on vanilla F-Droid yet but it is on the IzzyOnDroid repo)

If this ever gets ported for NewPipe and/or LibreTube it'll be sensational

The fact that it exists makes me happy :]

Isn't the ultimate issue enforceability? For a dev to be awarded some of the profit made off an open source project:

  1. A whistleblower would have to discover, gather, and publish evidence that the software was being used to generate profit
  2. The dev would have to win a court case against the company

It would be fuckin rad if that happened and a dev got a huge payout and a legal precedent was set. But it'd be more rad if we didn't live in a society where this was an issue in the first place :[

I use AsteroidOS since afaik it's the only working FOSS watch OS. It's still pretty bare feature-wise. Everything has to be done via PC terminal, even loading custom background images. There are basically no apps published by the community.

BUT now I have a watch on my wrist instead of in a drawer, it interfaces with my LineageOS phone, and it's not uploading all the details of my boring life to Google :]

I need to learn how to fuckin code...

Oh for sure. Any language sounds intense asf when you're yelling it. Didn't mean to hit some nerves by linking a decade old video... I believe the creators meant no harm and I didn't either :[

If someone who didn't speak English overheard me greeting my cousins, they'd probably think I was trying to start a fight :P
