tried mastodon did not understand how it works lemmy felt familiar so I stayed

I left immediately after the api pricing thing happened. Did not delete my account but poisoned it by replacing my posts with glibber. They are still up, I check from time to time. Just did my share to fuck AI.

What about Fuck Hurts?

I have no idea. I am a chemical engineer, this question has to be answered by a biologist or physician.

Sorry to disappoint y’all. This is actually not so dumb. Chemically she makes a buffer solution.

How a Buffer Solution Works: Example with Baking Soda and Citric Acid

A buffer solution is a system that resists changes in pH when small amounts of acids or bases are added. Buffers are essential in chemistry and biology because many processes require a stable pH.

How Buffer Solutions Work

A buffer usually consists of a weak acid and its corresponding conjugate base (or a weak base and its conjugate acid). When an acidic or basic substance is introduced, the buffer reacts to neutralize the added ions, thus stabilizing the pH.

• When an acid (H⁺) is added, the buffer’s base component reacts with it, “soaking up” the excess H⁺ ions.
• When a base (OH⁻) is added, the acid part of the buffer reacts with it, neutralizing the excess OH⁻ ions.

The ability of a buffer to do this depends on the presence of both a weak acid and its conjugate base in appreciable amounts.

Buffer Example: Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) and Citric Acid

Ingredients Involved

• Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO₃): A weak base that can act as a proton acceptor.
• Citric acid (C₆H₈O₇): A weak acid, commonly found in citrus fruits.

When these two substances are dissolved in water, they interact according to the following reaction:

$$ \text{C}_6\text{H}_8\text{O}_7 + \text{NaHCO}_3 \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_7\text{O}_7^- + \text{Na}^+ + \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_2\uparrow $$

This reaction creates a mixture containing both citric acid (weak acid) and its conjugate base (citrate ion).

How This Buffer System Functions

• If an acid is added to the solution (increasing H⁺), the citrate ion (Citrat-Anion) from the reaction will bind to the excess H⁺, lessening the pH shift.
• If a base is added (increasing OH⁻), the leftover citric acid will release H⁺, which neutralizes the OH⁻, keeping the pH stable.

Key Point:
This buffer is only effective within a certain pH range, which in this case is close to the pKa value of citric acid (around 3-7 depending on which proton is being lost, as citric acid is a triprotic acid).

Summary Table

This mixture resists pH changes thanks to the reversible interplay between the weak acid (citric acid) and its conjugate base (citrate ion), demonstrating the core principle of buffer solutions.

Pretty normal adhd behaviour

Essentially yes. I am very experienced with OBS Studio and now I am adding vMix to my portfolio because it’s capable things OBS cannot do. vMix is programmed to do the videoprocessing directly on the GPU while the CPU is only handling audio and the UI. Unfortunately this works only on Windows systems.

The sole reason for me owning a windows pc is that I use vMix which requires it as well a a nvidia graphics card. What I did is clean bloatware with Win11Debloat. Up to now nobody has been able to tell me how to effectively run vMix on Linux.

You are right, I don’t use it for text. Is that something illustrator does? Coming from inkscape I missed a lot of features in illustrator (university pays for the license). And as I stopped using After Effects the only reason to use it was gone.

I have been using inkscape for vector graphics since more than ten years. It is FOSS and does everything I expect.

And the last sentence is a call to action too!

Well said.

Maybe not smoking so much weed might help with this.

I quit smoking weed after I had been looking for my phone under the bed for half an hour - using the flashlight of my phone.

We say in Germany everything that is not explicitly allowed is forbidden. And this is just a little bit exaggerated, but not much.

In Germany there has been a court ruling that it is allowed to call the catholic church a “Kinderfickersekte” which translates to “child raping cult”.

It was only a lower court and the church choose to not object against it probably because they were smart enough to fear the additional publicity this would get if a higher court would confirm it. https://taz.de/Gotteslaesterung-ist-kein-Problem/!5067953/?t

Had a paywall in memmy but not when opening the link in mobile firefox.

I did not know about avclub up to now. So thanks for letting me know.

You, sir are asking the right questions. Thank you for this.
