Ask Lemmy

This is a good one. I interact with a lot of East and South Asians in my spare time, and I would love to speak all of their languages. Especially since their English is not the best (in my circle, that is).

This is a back up power to me. The best power is the power to control time however you like.

You could learn every language ever created with the ability to control time. As you would also live as long as you wanted.

You also would be able to timelock any object making it unmoving and indestructable.

You can heal anyone from anything by rolling them back to when they werent injured

No end to what you can do with controlling time

This is a neat idea until you're in a situation where you remember 38 different words for a thing, just not the one in the language you need

I thought the issue there was the processor not being able to run a single core long enough.

Or maybe it's just how the operating system works?

Have you tried Linux? I use Arch btw.

You had me until Java.

Our ideas are always good to us, but they're highly informed based on our own experiences and needs.

I had a neighbor who asked me to help them create some form of device that sits on the dashboard of their car and catalog billboards. Apparently, a hole in their life was passing by a billboard with kids in the car and forgetting what exit the food/restaurant was on.

This was in an era where cell phones and online maps/search existed.

I had another acquaintance (decades ago) who wanted me to work on a photography simulator in which you had to manipulate people in 3D to compose a picture. I tried to explain the high level of difficulty and the cost per unit being so high that no one would be willing to pay for it. They pushed me until I did some napkin match on arists/developer/marketing costs then they got all pissed off at me because it came in conservatively north of 300k.
