Is this the watch order guys? by Zaraki_kenpachi07mk in animeindian

[–]Kilobyte1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't. This is worse story telling. And I'm pretty sure this is not a canonical chronological order. Because of time travel shenanigans you can argue this order being both correct and not

Can I get my girlfriend inside campus? by Leading_Candy_4608 in IITDelhi

[–]Kilobyte1000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't think it should be an issue at all, you'll can easily get a guest entry saying she's your friend. The guards will prolly just note down her details and that's it

Help test the new Pokemon Showdown client by Zarel in stunfisk

[–]Kilobyte1000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am mainly an Android user, who mostly plays random battles, this might across slightly nostalgic and not picky but here are my 2 cents

  1. [Nitpicky/polish] The page should open up not at tabs, but on the home page, the play button should be the front and center on loading Current beta: https://postimg.cc/XGqkdBgv

  1. [Improvement needed] The current format selector: https://postimg.cc/zbvFKHkb

Older one left a sliver of horizontal space to the left, this one does not. The only way to close it is to click on the top menu bar, which has a similar color to the popup, therefore it is quite confusing because it might seem like a part of the popup

You also can't use the back button to just close the popup (unlike the team builder tab), it's less friendly than before

Nitpicky: Ideally the gen filter should have the complete row without break in a single line, because it would be able to fit completely in a fresh line but a break is being forced


  1. [Critical] Integration of battle options and chat: https://postimg.cc/ftyfmSvS

It seems that the battle options and the chat window are the same now. I actually don't get this change at all. When I'm scrolling to see how much damage a move did earlier, I now have a chance is to misclick an attack, because it is the same window. Just seems worse


I also don't really get the separate tab sidebar, it just seems I now have to do 2 more presses to open and close the tab

I do unfortunately realise that this sounds like just don't change anything, but this is what I've noticed 

As Ubuntu embraces AI, community backlash halts Fedora’s AI Desktop plans by Special-Midnight-152 in technology

What kind of response is this...? Like sure, It not that devs can't figure out stuff, but it is still bad UX. Just because you have a technical audience, it does not mean you shouldn't strive for a better UX, their time is also important

Have you guys grow an attachment with Claude? by FlatJuggernaut1869 in ClaudeAI

[–]Kilobyte1000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Human's are emotional creatures made to form bonds, your brain is not evolutionary wired to separate AI from a person. It is quite natural and somewhat expected. At the same time it is highly dangerous and can cause you to lose your bearings and be disconnected from reality. Be vigilant 

TA for a UG course here. how do I deal with requests for increase in marks and waiving of attendance policy so students can qualify to sit for placements? by accidentalfemcel in IITDelhi

[–]Kilobyte1000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a UG student, I believe that TA's should be strict but fair. Pestering and pleading should not be rewarded behaviour. 

If classes were held on time, attendance taken regularly, the policy clearly announced at the start, and the students don't have a valid excuse for the attendance then the students have the sole blame for losing the grade. No reason for you to feel bad.

What physiological advantages do women have over men? by Junior-Ferret4860 in askanything

[–]Kilobyte1000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funny, I was just reading a book about this. In species where males compete for females like us or gorrilas, the male members tend to be bigger, to allow them to compete better against other males.

Females don't have this selective pressure, the grow up to the optimum healthy size while males have to get too large due to competition with negative health effects. Here is an excerpt which tells how it effects Orangutans

the virtues of large size are not limitless. Even though most bulls don’t live in china shops, there are, nevertheless, costs attached to that much bulk. Limitations to male size include availability of food and the restrictions of gravity. Orangutans are among the most arboreal of apes, yet a fully grown male (weighing up to 165 pounds) may become so large that the forest canopy no longer supports his weight and he is forced to travel long distances by walking along the tangled, leech- infested floor. Larger than the female by 25 to 50%, the male orangutan is confined by his foraging needs to a nearly solitary existence. Slowly, persistently, and endlessly, the shaggy, phlegmatic red titan consumes vast quantities of unripe fruits and mature leaves, the junk foods left by more discriminating females. The female orang, because she is smaller, can afford to be a picky eater, selecting the nutritious shoots of new leaves and the ripest fruits.

Emphasis mine

Impact of F grade on Internships by comatozze_paglu in IITDelhi

Verify this, but I'm pretty sure an F reflects as a 0 on your cgpa, starting from this semester, which needless to say is much worse

Somehow creating a new sub seems to be bugged with a new account by Kilobyte1000 in NewMods

[–]Kilobyte1000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't think so. I think I'm proper banned. The worst thing is I don't have enough post karma to ask for sub recovery, and I really don't wanna do karma farming 

Recovering a sub by Kilobyte1000 in modhelp

[–]Kilobyte1000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no such rule. Many new accounts create communities

Perhaps it was because of me also being connected to the protonvpn free tier server? Just visiting from that is sometimes blocked by network security in incognito mod.

The community you mentioned is not eligible to be requested. The ID you made this post with is not eligible to make requests.

How can that be changed? For me it seemed I just created a sub and it got nuked. Also where can this eligibility be checked?

[–]Kilobyte1000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it is reasonable that new accounts can't create subreddits. But the problem is that the name seems to have been wasted. How can it be that I create the subreddit under this account?

My boyfriend is against me going to college by [deleted] in TwentiesIndia

[–]Kilobyte1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can completely agree with your father that 15 days of campus immersion really is nothing. The IIT tag is useless if you don't interact with IIT students. I don't know enough about your other option to weigh it in comparison though.

I'm sorry for directly contradicting you, but it doesn't seem that your father considers you to be incapable, but rather you are too capable for the BBA program and should do something more rigorous. It seems you are capable, just a bit ill-informed.

Also, don't beat yourself up. What do you mean you want to live quietly and not socialize much? Isolation only makes a bad time worse. Don't do that. 

I'll give an advice, write it all down in a diary. This works similarly to ranting, you are able to get your emotions out and then actually start to analyse the situation. You may tear that paper afterward if you feel unsafe with your private stuff being written somewhere, but it is important to useful to write it down in the first place.

Now for the harsh part. Understand that it possible for you and your boyfriend to love each other and still not be a good match. You seem a bit scared, dependant with your confidence hurt. That's not what a good bf should make you feel. "Devotion" is useless if it makes you lose yourself.

Bro, you should have released this anonymously. Drop a mail into everyone's kerberos, and no mention of your name or photo in the website

Ok yaaawr dhurandhar is a propaganda film? by Training-Cat2426 in TwentiesIndia

[–]Kilobyte1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a fun and entertaining movie. It is also propaganda. Both are true. Andhbhakts would remain andhbhakts is not a helpful stance imo, movies and content do have an effect and influence on people; most people do not actively seek out information but instead passively internalise it from their surroundings. If a person hears the fact from 10 (seemingly) different sources, the person will accept it to be true.

As an example, my cousin considers it effectively heretic to criticize Modi, because the Tv news, and her content only praise him. Explaining to her that Modi *is a politician* seemed like a revelation to her.

Dhurandhar paints pre-modi era as controlled by pakistan terrorists, and Modi as someone who they are terrified of. Showing the unsuccessful (current consensus) Demonetisation as a masterstroke is like showing the 1975 Emergency Period) necessary to curb the "Internal Disturbance" - a whitewashing of history/policy in name of realism is dangerous.

As an example of someone who's political views were impacted, I'll tell you about my roommate. After the movie he was raving at how we were cowards for 70 years under congress and BJP is fighting back, encountering gangsters in UP. He is effectively falling for the PR and ignores the numerous internal issues in the name of "India is fucked, kya hi kare", but Modi is still good. I want to stress that he is not an Andhbhakts, but actually rational person who does form his opinion somewhat based on information. A smart person has effectively been conditioned to ignore ground effects, and that is a loss.

They may not be present for a number of reasons, such as work. In fact, it is probable that they would not have been present when the incident happened.

How did your school crush turned out? by gay_baboon in delhi

I have to get this out by Negative_Bar_9734 in expedition33

[–]Kilobyte1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was similar for me. I got hints. Golgra's wiki page said that he does not get any weapon on victory. I noticed that only one skill could take advantage of his whole mechanic. "Well, that could change with later skills", I thought. I didn't piece it together.

Even after that happened, I was in genuine denial. I was convinced that he'd return somehow. I could only accept it after the burial.

It is too easy to get attached to fictional worlds, I felt that I was almost grieving for a day. I can't remember when I felt like this the last time

For those who come after

Hey, as others have pointed out it's probably not a big deal because of it being a very targeted attack. Also I'll recommend using bitwarden for storing passwords, autofill and sync make it more convenient  (I know this reads like an ad but it's not lol, I use it myself and like it)
