Hi, I’m NightDice and this is my Lemmy account.

I’m an avid Guild Wars 2 and Magic the Gathering player and general nerd.

Looking to see how many of my communities I can connect with on the fediverse.

    I think anything after (whichever grade your country introduces fractions in) should exclusively use fractions or multiplication with fractions to express division in order to disambiguate. A division symbol should never be used after fractions are introduced.

    This way, it doesn’t really matter which juxtaposition you prefer, because it will never be ambiguous.

    Anything before (whichever grade introduces fractions) should simply overuse brackets.

    This comment was written in a couple of seconds, so if I missed something obvious, feel free to obliterate me.










  • Because… They are? Whenever there is a problem in Windows itself, they release an update to fix that ASAP.

    Defender doesn’t just work against viruses that exploit weaknesses in Windows. It also works against viruses in programs the user installs. The purpose of Defender is the same as any other antivirus software, to detect known virus signatures in downloaded software, as well as attempt to detect programs that display virus-like behaviour. It also attempts to ensure that users only install software from sources they trust. For these purposes, Windows Defender is at least as good as most other antivirus software on the market.

    I would also generally recommend using an antivirus program on a Linux/OSX machine, unless you really know the risk you’re accepting by not using one. Even then, I recommend occasionally running ClamAV or a Malwarebytes scan. There is a misconception of “there are no viruses for non-Windows platforms”, but the thing is that a lot of viruses these days are cross-platform compatible, and all it takes is one program or dependency becoming an infection vector. Keep yourselves safe, people!
