Aren’t all barcodes 2D?

EDIT No wait, they’re basically 1D aren’t they? Nevermind!

I must not have been clear.

A mail delivery person loads up on all the mail they are delivering once, and then they travel from mailbox to mailbox to deliver it.

A food delivery person has to drive back and forth from restaurants to houses over and over, which is much less efficient than mail.

Borb*

The mail is delivered in batches, house after house, so one trip by the mail delivery driver hits a whole batch of houses.

It would be far less efficient for the mail delivery driver to drive back to the post office between every single house.

Duh?

Not exactly.

The ruling class gets to decide the score. They didn’t fail to recognize the atrocity quickly enough, they supported it.

You mean like if the Alberta independence referendum succeeds and the country collapses? If Alberta goes, Quebec independence soon follows, and at that point Canada mostly just Vancouver+lesser provinces.

And then all three countries join BRICS. 😎

I’ll put chili lime seasoning on fruit sometimes.

Elaborate. You too @grue@lemmy.world Have there been mass deaths of civilians in Russian-occupied areas? Are they segregating the population or practicing apartheid based on ethnicity? Are they sterilizing Ukainians? Have marriages between Russians and Ukrainians been outlawed?

What kind of extermination campaign are they running? I’m not seeing it, besides relocating children out of the war zone. I suppose that could be argued as ethnic cleansing, but it can also be justified as protecting children from war so this alone isn’t enough imo

Is Russia trying to exterminate Ukrainian people in the annexed regions and replace them with Russian settlers?

No matter how I read it, it sounds like you’re saying “it’s sustainable under the right circumstances” and I just don’t see how that’s useful to even acknowledge.

Literally anything is sustainable by this argument, what are you even talking about?

They hate them for racial and ethnic reasons.

It’s very relevant, because this is the reason they hallucinate. They’re just completing the pattern, no matter how nonsensical it is, because they don’t even know what they’re doing. They don’t reason, they just regurgitate whatever fits the pattern. There’s no awareness of what they’re saying, there’s just a logic chain that says “if I say this, then I say this next” without concern about context or reality. No reason, no awareness, no thought.

It does not think it’s human. It’s just mindlessly regurgitating words to fit a pattern. That’s it.

No it doesn’t, it doesn’t even think.

Okay, now imagine the tool is advertised in a way that tells you to use it wrong.

Do you mean in the magical sense? That there’s a karmic force in the universe that causes bad things to happen to bad people.

Or do you mean it in the moral sense? That bad people deserve to have bad things happen to them and it’s good when it does.

Just shovel them into my mouth. 👀

Digg and Reddit invented the terminology and I don’t think people are unfamiliar with it.

If you sort on Lemmy by activity you can get exactly the same behaviour.

Point. That’s not the default behavior, though, and most users aren’t using the site that way - and I’d argue the site isn’t designed the be used that way, and that’s why most users don’t use that functionality.

And bumping is even often frowned upon because it pollutes active discussions. It’s just people abusing how those forums sort threads.

Not what I meant. I don’t mean people making worthless “bump” comments (that often just gets people banned) I mean that forums bump up threads that get new comments.

I use forums, and they’re just different.

Lemmy posts are still designed to decay and fall off the front page. The posts last longer if they have participation but the only way to make something last a long time is to sticky the post so it doesn’t decay.

Forums aren’t like that. Forum threads are meant to stay around as long as people bump them and they can be ancient, with hundreds of pages of comments, and the thread still keeps getting bumped because new content is added to the thread.

Also, the way comments are organized is different. Our comments are threaded so we can have a conversation between us in a comment chain, but forum comments are sequential. The comments section of every thread would look way different if it was a forum.

Forums are just structurally different. If you don’t like “link aggregator” that’s understandable, it’s actually not very descriptive, but you still need to be able to differentiate between forums and whatever-the-heck this space is.
