• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does this post appear on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes it takes me about 30 seconds before I realise where I am if I’m in a new place, otherwise instant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But macOS is even more locked down than windows?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3D printed Linux Mint emblem to cover up the illuminated Apple logo on my ancient MacBook⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s so cool! I don’t have a laptop or a working 3d printer, so I guess this doesn’t really apply to me, but good for you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If dark matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, what happens when light hits it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It passes right through. It only interacts with gravity. Which can indirectly bend light, however, by bending spacetime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone has died and it is by sleeping⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The people who wrote the Talmud thought that sleep was 1/60th of death.

• I doubt there are many people alive these days who died in WW2

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I let my thoughts wander, and pay attention to the world around me. I’ve been forced to do this since I can’t wear earbuds while my ear piercings heal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do no harm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What is the rating scale though? Surely it’s subjective to how the pain feels to you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't let the terrible be the enemy of the good.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Less bad is still bad, but preferable to worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What is your obsession with ‘chavs’?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans BY DEFAULT do not want to commit violence towards other humans, otherwise things like Killer's Remorse and PTSD would not exist.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People (that aren’t psychopaths or sociopaths) are very good at individually being empathetic to other members of their in group, that haven’t broken their ideological rules. However, even normal, empathetic people can shut off their empathy when people of a certain group belong to another out group, or are dehumanised (eg ‘well dark skinned people aren’t really human like light skinned people are, so it’s fine to enslave them’) or if they break your moral code (eg ‘well they’re gay, so it’s morally justifiable to kill them’)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m perfectly content to let console player enjoy their games, just PC games feel so much easier to control for me, especially with the fine control the mouse offers. Although I do appreciate the vibration handhelds can have, mice can have it too, but it’s not as good. PC keyboards also have lots more buttons that you can map to functions, meaning more things can be accessible with one click.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is a bad idea for anonymity and freedom of speech reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where can I post my Halloween outfit? It's awesome.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pixelfed?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you attempt to get visas or citizenship status, you usually need legal documents from your home country, but what about dissidents who fled, and their government refuses to issue papers?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re called refugees, and they can claim asylum in a sane country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Show your pride⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bi pride?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone hide!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That looks like the quantum moon from Outer Wilds

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone hide!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Quantum moon?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Time can be non arbitrarily defined as a round number value of times cesium oscillates between two hyperfine states, to allow time to be non arbitrary and still a useful size.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can a US state block porn?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hiding data in innocuous data could also work, eg by altering the pixel values of images subtly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Year is an incredibly arbitrary length

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Proton masses, the distance light travels in a vacuum in a certain time, and cesium oscillation times are quite constant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have for my worldbuilding project, but it’s not famous or anything.

  In base 12, there are 2 000 000 000 cesium oscillations in a tik (about 1.12 seconds), and light travels 80 000 000 mata in a tik (a mata is about 0.85m)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if Q-space/the Q-ocean is real? (More in post body)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, maybe you’re not conscious then. I know that I am.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You're out of your element, dude.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a partial lunar eclipse. Someone more knowledgeable than me could probably tell whether it’s a start or end eclipse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if Q-space/the Q-ocean is real? (More in post body)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you expand on what you mean by that? As I thought, the scientific method was about empirically testing things, and the empirical world is defined by what we can sense - ie our qualia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the self?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A fleeting subjective experience in an ocean of possible experiences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if Q-space/the Q-ocean is real? (More in post body)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The experience of time would exist, but each individual moment would in reality be timeless - just with a false experience of time for some of them.
