You are correct. Good that being blinded instantly makes your finger super sensitive to rows of dots and you speak perfect Spanish.

⠝⠕⠞⠕⠉⠁⠞ means “notocat” though. I prefer ⠽⠑⠎⠀⠞⠕⠀⠉⠁⠞ but anyway, “do not touch” would be ⠙⠕⠀⠝⠕⠞⠀⠞⠕⠥⠉⠓

QR codes can have arbitrary looks even without dirty tricks (abusing the error correction to add a logo or taking advantage of central sampling to color all but the middle 3x3 square of each data pixel) but boy, is it hard.

Examples:
https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/31694735/18805217 (strings a long number in Number mode (3 decimal digits per 10 bits) to the URL, and somehow the resulting number turns out to be a small even number times a very high power of 2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQkWjzqMbuA (uses padding bytes plus maybe some of that “intentional damage” in QR codes with logos)

It is designed to especially penalize ⬜⬛⬜⬛⬛⬛⬜, which is a part of the finder pattern (big squares in the corners) and the swastika.

fediversesearch.com another site uses a similar Google trick but instead of a specific domain, it filters by footer text that appears in the default Lemmy UI such as “Modlog”.

So much “nerd” paraphernalia is BS… This one is ridiculous (one doesn’t get to “be a programmer” by sorting and collecting 10 personality traits as if they’re goals or achievements) but at least it shows varied syntax in the C language: the number of unique keywords is very high.

To show you’re a nerd, don’t go with obvious “look, this is what I am” but use dogwhistles (Conway’s Game of Life or fractals can look like knitting patterns) or to be obvious, some things you personally like or made. Badge with your distro’s logo or mascot, code you actually wrote or its output, wearable blinkenlights project… Just be more focused on your interests than yourself.

#define unlocked endl

Yeah, nobody writes that except to make a single joke

You are correct, that is simplified. The whole line is

int personality = sizeof(goals) / sizeof(goals[0]);

To get the length of an array in C, it’s necessary to divide its memory footprint by the size of a single element!

BTW you can see what appears to be ASCII in the background of that image. You can decode it if you’re bored.

Here are some of the missing pixels:

Depends on what the angel would say in his schizophrenia-induced converstions. Either they’d refuse it outright or insist on a custom-trained model on public domain religious texts (and there’s not enough of those to make a model with unique, coherent output, so not much better than the random word generator).

You can send a (salted?) hash of an email or its contents but that’s just a bit too complicated.

Those aren’t really accents. In many Slavic languages, the declination of verbs is gender-specific in the past tense and conditionals. The form is -l for masculine and -la for feminine. You can pronounce it -lǝ (emphasize the schwa that comes at the end of -l) to be vague about it, use the -lo neutrum (dehumanizing), or, to also sound sassy, one of the plural forms -li (default), -ly (all female or neutral, pronounced the same as -li) or -la (all neutral). Yeah, no good gender-neutral options yet.

among other mistakes

It’s nothing but mistakes

Piezo buzzers have a resonant frequency they’re strongest at. Two-pin piezo disks need driving at the desired frequency. Usually only a GPIO pin (PWM-capable if possible) and a resistor is needed. Three-pin disks provide a phase-shifted feedback to the driving transistor to keep oscillating at the resonant frequency. Some include that whole circuit inside their housing so they have just 2 pins but those are for DC power, only the volume can be somewhat adjusted by changing the input voltage.

You can stick wires with mains voltage into any two pins of any motherboard connector but there’s a reason they’re not shaped like an AC receptacle 💥. Unless it’s a ZX Spectrum, that cheap thing used the most basic connector (3.5mm jack) for everything: cassette I/O, video output and, unregulated 9V DC power input from the transformer brick, and people would often fry it.

Technically, a CPU fan is also optional but you need to provide some other cooling (water pump?) or accept massive throttling.

Windows is not even source-available. Windows XP is source-unintentionally-available thanks to a leak but there’s no AI loophole in that.

The book, Das doppelte Lottchen, is better, and I think it had been adapted too

Not a genius. This thing is called a monogram, the most basic logo design. Used mostly by couples, law firms and couples’ law firms.

You’re right, at that size the AI is not very concerning either.
