What I hope it will be:

• 2D side-scrolling with similar gameplay as the original, but in renaissance painting style

What it is most likely going to be:

• Open-world 3D action RPG just like God of War

Apparently Bing Chat is able to do some maths. I asked Bing multiple variations of this question based on different speeds of the solar sail (e.g. what if it travels at 50% the speed of light). It was able to calculate both the travel time and the time dilation.

If it is only pulling the answer from web sources, how did it handle the variable speeds?

Bing Chat is doing quite well:

That’s an interesting question. Proxima Centauri b is a planet that orbits Proxima Centauri, the closest star to Earth. The planet orbits its parent star at a distance of roughly 4.6 million miles (7.5 million km) with an orbital period of approximately 11.2 Earth days. Proxima Centauri b is only four light years away from Earth.

A solar sail is a spacecraft that uses the pressure of photons from the sun or other light sources to propel itself. The maximum theoretical speed a solar sail could reach is around 420 kilometers per second, or about 1/4 of the speed of light. However, this would require a very large and thin sail, and a close approach to the sun. A more realistic speed for solar sails is 10% of the speed of light, or 67,100,000 mph.

Assuming a solar sail could reach 10% of the speed of light, it would take about 40 years to travel to Proxima Centauri b. However, this does not account for the time it would take to accelerate and decelerate the spacecraft, or the effects of gravity from other bodies in the solar system. A more accurate estimate would require a detailed trajectory analysis and simulation.

I even asked Bing to calculate the time dilation for the person on earth. It answered correctly with the formula and steps shown clearly.

A flyby mission has been proposed to Proxima Centauri b, an Earth-sized exoplanet in the habitable zone of its host star, Proxima Centauri, in the Alpha Centauri system. At a speed between 15% and 20% of the speed of light, it would take between 20 and 30 years to complete the journey, and approximately 4 years for a return message from the starship to Earth.

The first rule of gaming articles/posts: you do not mention the game titles

I hate this. I understand when a for-profit company tries to do this. But too many posts hide the game titles for no reason.

I created a magazine hoping that people who migrated from Reddit would find a new home. I intended to moderate the magazine, just to help the community grow.

It turns out there just aren't enough participants. It would be pointless if the moderator is the only person contributing to the community.

I don't see anything worth bragging about being a moderator. I do hope there is a way to "free" the magazine name so someone else can manage it.

Not until they launch yet another product with even less functionality, and then they will put Google Podcasts into the graveyard.

I don't like the boss fights, especially when the save point is too far.

Is OOP considered archaic now? What is a more preferable paradigm nowadays?

I would suggest that you censor the spammer's company name in the screen shot. They want to have more exposure and they don't deserve any.

It is not newsworthy when there is no new development. Most people don't care, they continue using Twitter, Facebook, Reddit no matter what.

We (fediverse users) are not "normal" people. And I am proud of being different.

Sleepytime gets me every time. As a parent it is so bittersweet seeing the child becoming independent.

Don't forget knife, fork, and a napkin.

Non-native speaker here. I get kay-bin, but how are you supposed to say k'bin?

Ideally you should learn through a good teacher/tutor, they should inform you common variations etc.

I am not a learner so I can't really point you to learner resources. But I can suggest:

• Some wikipeida pages are in Cantonese language, you can read them for practising
• Visit some Cantonese-based forums so you can observe how people write cantonese casually

Keep posting questions to Cantonese communities on Lemmy. Many people are willing to help.

How? I feel like it might be too easy for such accounts to be created. And they already pollute the fediverse before their accounts get banned. I think this will be more common until we have more proactive measures.

Grammar books are written by linguists. But languages are used by people.

比 is not officially a variation of 畀, but people commonly use or misuse it as one. No native Cantonese speaker will misunderstand the use of 比 in this context, even if it is not strictly correct.

It is similar to how some English words are often misspelled, but the meaning is still clear. For example, supersede vs supercede, advise vs advice.

Would you recommend that some of us move to other kbin instances? Or should we stay on kbin.social to help it grow?

Thank you for all your hard work. I would like more people to discover kbin, instead of the other software developed by the tankies.

I think it was a reasonable response to someone wrongfully accusing me of spreading misinformation.

They could have said that my statement was incorrect/inaccurate. But they straight said I was spreading misinformation, as if I did it intentionally.

The title is very confusing. And the article is like a long essay.

Here is a summary by Chat GPT:

The web page is a blog post by a teacher who argues that most kids today can’t use computers effectively. He shares several anecdotes of students and adults who lack basic computer skills, such as troubleshooting, googling, and programming. He criticizes the education system for not teaching computer literacy and problem-solving, and he urges parents and teachers to help kids become more competent and confident with computers. He also warns that relying too much on technology can make us vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation by those who control it.

That's why I prefer to use open source solutions.

Is it illegal if I read the book, write a summary and post the summary online?

I think people's interests/hobbies are much more interesting than there gender/country etc. Like:

• Are you a dog person or cat person?
• Do you think video games are too violent?
• Do you believe in alternative medicine?
• Toilet seat up or down?
• Do you like beans?

Good you can add a slogan: wefwef - save your right hand for more important tasks ;-)

Honestly I like the name wefwef. It is easily searchable especially when it is not exactly easy to search things across the Fediverse.

You can search by site using the "site" operator, for example:

"whatever you want site:lemmy.world"

All the results will be from/via the lemmy.world instance.

In plain English:
"You are no longer allowed to provide us free labour."

Wake up mods!! You are working for Spez for free.

Read right here if you don't bother to click the link and see the "flimsy evidence".

Here is one of the Lemmy devs denying that the Uyghur genocide in China is happening:

https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/xq49ct/deleted_by_user/iq954mu/

"The Uyghur genocide is as real as white genocide."

Here they are again denying it:

https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/xq49ct/deleted_by_user/iq951cv/

"The holocaust was a genocide that actually happened, with all the evidence that goes along with it. There is no Uyghur genocide."

"Do you believe in anything as soon as the word "genocide" gets attached to it? What about "white genocide"? Are you a white genocide denier?"

And just so nobody can deny that parentis_shotgun is a Lemmy dev: -

"I'm one of the devs of Lemmy"

Direct links to the posts will not work but still exist on the user's profile page: https://old.reddit.com/user/parentis_shotgun/ - hold PgDn until comments stop loading then Control+F. In fact feel free to peruse their history in general - it's quite interesting.

One of my favorite posts is their defense of the government of North Korea in /r/AskTankies: https://old.reddit.com/r/asktankies/comments/tb1836/okay_but_dprk_seriously/i04d1wu/

Now ask yourself why would someone who is not a Red Fascist Tankie piece of shit be answering questions on behalf of Tankies in /r/AskTankies while defending a totalitarian regime? Is it... perhaps because they're in support of such a regime because they are in fact a Tankie piece of shit?

I stopped using Facebook altogether because of that.
