I'd say to each their own, but it's also a source of BDD for a lot of women. One specific body type usually being the center of sexual attention creates a fair bit of unnecessary expectations. Same as porn industry in general, be it real or drawn, creates very much comparable problems for men. Please look at real people from time to time, it helps.

It's a bit sad how everybody talk about the new NTsync. Most games, like, 90% of them, are not bound by sync. You would get exactly no performance benefit in them. What's better about it is the correctness of the implementation, more programs will work under WINE as a result of switching to NTsync. It's a good thing, but media clearly seems to miss the point and only focus on a few cases where it would give an impressive performance benefit.

If someone didn't learn enough trigonometry in school:

1+tan^2^c = cos^2^c/cos^2^c + sin^2^c/cos^2^c = (cos^2^c + sin^2^c)/cos^2^c = 1/cos^2^c;

sqrt(1/cos^2^c) = |sec c|

And here is for the people who still don't get the jokeThe reading of the answer is very similar to the word "sexy", which makes the whole sentence a reference to the song "Sexy and I Know It" by LMFAO.

The divisability rule for 7 is that the difference of doubled last digit of a number and the remaining part of that number is divisible by 7.

E.g. 299'999 → 29'999 - 18 = 29'981 → 2'998 - 2 = 2'996 → 299 - 12 = 287 → 28 - 14 = 14 → 14 mod 7 = 0.

It's a very nasty divisibility rule. The one for 13 works in the same way, but instead of multiplying by 2, you multiply by 4. There are actually a couple of well-known rules for that, but these are the easiest to remember IMO.

Try MusicBrainz Picard. I've had good experience with their recognition quality.

There is no such thing as "zeroith". Does not matter which numbers you slap on the tables, the one with the lowest number will always be the first. The word "first" has nothing to do with indices, it's just an antonym for "last".

The problem is, in my opinion, that they post memes that are clerly provoking non-vegan people for discussion.

It's weird to jump under a "here are my 15 ways of cooking asparagus" post with anti-vegan content. But "look at these carnovorous clowns" memes are clearly offensive.

I'm looking for a website that aggregates specs for gamepads/controllers.

For example, for VR headsets we have VRcompare.

Does anything similar exist for gamepads?

Some people have to use their stuff for a variety of reasons, don't be a dick about it.

They are probably just using your IP address to determine the location. That will show the location of your ISP, not your location. That's not much more info than any other server gets when you are connecting to it. Also does not require Mozilla to send any geolocation data.

Good advice! (lemmy.ca)

It's just a domain name, it has nothing to do with sites being safe. Just as any other site, they may be malicious, may be not, depends on who runs the site.
