Something similar? I read a picture wrong going of a fact I’ve heard before.

I was just lazy I give you that. I did not double check but after someone pointed the mistake out I gave better numbers.

So how is that similar to what happened before? My main point wasn’t that I distrust the numbers they are posting but the way it is not backed up with good explanations and/or potential causes.

Reading back this comment does come off as overly defensive but I am genuinely confused what I did that is similar and how I should’ve behaved better in the face of my error.

Yes, I did not look too closely into the statistic in the picture but see my other comment where I provided a more relevant statistic.

That was such a culture shock when I went to the us for the first time.

In Germany and many places in Europe do not think of burgers as sandwiches. I was so confused when I ordered a sandwich and got something like a burger.

I expected something like this. My confusion must’ve been quite the sight, the waitress even seemed concerned. Tasted great though.

Jep, like I said did not look too closely into it. Anyway, the point is that taking statistics in a vacuum can lead to strange conclusions.

Btw the gist I was going for, that statistically black men make up a disproportionate chunk of the homicide perpetrators in the US is a fact.

Still misleading on its own as it does not give insight into the cause of the discrepancy. Racists use this all the time to justify bigotry.

Yeah, people think black men are dangerous because of racism. 🙄

That’s what you sound like, smh.

Disclaimer: I’ve not vetted the statistic I posted but seen similar numbers before.

Edit: As has been rightly pointed out the above statistic does not say what I thought it did. A better version would be:

Nope. Almost every day I learn something new.

I think they are just baking a cake. Delicious moist cake.

Did Lemmy’s front fall off?

In assessing risk assume everyone is a bumbling idiot. For we all have moments of great stupidity.

There is definitely a risk in changing it. Many automation systems that assume there is a master branch needed to be changed. Something that’s trivial yes but changing a perfectly running system is always a potential risk.

Also stuff like tutorials and documentation become outdated.

Why are Americans so riled up about this?

Do you guys not realize that this reaction is literally one of the reasons they do this? To be a distraction and to show their base that they made the bad people™ cry about it.

That’s a common misconception. You can measure a lot of ambient noise and extract entropy. Like time between inputs or how long it took an HDD to seek.

Most modern PC CPUs even have dedicated hardware for generating random numbers from electrical ambient noise. I don’t trust them however.

This will break if the filename has spaces in it iirc.

Why? I like combustion noises

On the internet nobody knows you are a horse.

In a literal sense or do you mean in a legal sense?

ZFS is unfortunately not in the upstream Linux Kernel :/

Btrfs is worse in many aspects but I like its flexibility of adding drives with different capacities over time.

Could be but there aren’t that many subways left. At some point you could find them everywhere then there was a problem? with the franchise and many rebranded to MrSub or something and soon after closed. At least in my area.

When I visited the us that was a major culture shock. How much of an almost irrelevant choice there is on food and many other things. In Germany if I go to a bar and order a beer there is no question. You just get the standard beer of the region and or bar. There are like 4-5 beers on tab at most.
