- Comment on Why isint lemmy more popular? 1 day ago:
“Because I fucking hate my privacy, and Lemmy and other FOSS media platforms is like veggies on my dinner plate – I don’t want it.
I want people to know when I get my first boner, when I inevitably kick the bucket, and when i announce I got a new position (while users on the platform give context that I was hard the entire interview process). Because why celebrate with family and friends when I got the whole internets asshole comments to read and respond to.”
This is my interpretation of why users don’t join Lemmy.
- Comment on If dark matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, what happens when light hits it? 2 weeks ago:
Dark matter isn’t matter, I know shitty name to call something “matter” that isn’t matter, Dark matter is a force. The most common example where dark matter shows up is in astronomy, where galaxy positions aren’t where we calculated them to be, hence there is some external force that is being applied, that we don’t know and haven’t found a way to take into account. I guess we call it “dark matter” instead of “dark force” is because for a force to be applied there must be some mass. Still i think it’s illogical to assume that dark matter is a matter, because we don’t know what force is exerting on it. For all we know it could be the accumulation of other galaxies applying a force on the observed galaxy that we’re simply not taking into account.
- Comment on Gaming Laptop with Linux Preinstalled and 32GB+ RAM? 2 weeks ago:
I would say I’m fine supporting Microsoft by buying their laptops, I just don’t want it to be surveiled and capitalized off of through spyware in the OS. I suggest going used instead of new, reason being, you can get really good specs that makes the license practically free. My current laptop is a thinkpad E14, the previous owner loaded it with 40 GB of ram and a 1tb ssd with a ryzen 7 7730. I paid $400 for that machine. If you don’t mind going used with slightly older specs, maybe a haircrack or two, the payout is worth it.

No. physics is generalized to algebra, you don’t need to know a lot of math to learn physics. Having more math will allow you to do more complicated problems and understand concepts the way it was discovered, but it isn’t limited to those who know calculus.

Yea I’m trying out tuta it supposidly is end to end encrypted. My hope is that I’ll take a look at it, and see if I like it. It does have RSA encryption so from my preliminary testing it is believable.

My god, yes. Just yesterday I stopped using duckduckgo since even that has now become increasingly infuriating with AI. I’m using this search engine with no AI it’s based on database queries and to go to a specific website there is a small tab you can use. I love it because now I get to appreciate and use textbooks (whereas i would have chatGPT’d it) because of how limited the queries are and the limited selection. It’s not like google where it dumps the most relevant information at the top, you have to search for it. Anyways, if you were wondering it’s called marginalia search.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 4 weeks ago:
I unironically said this in my group chat, “proton mail is becoming more and more sketchy as being a privacy focused mail service” just like how signal is becoming more sketchy as a instant message service. There are things proton mail does such as logging activity that shouldn’t be the case as a paying customer, and yet here we are. When I request privacy I want it to be private, as in don’t give my data to anyone. it seems for that to happen it must be community driven and decentralized.

I didn’t fully understood the joke, my only understanding of episilon comes epsilon-delta proofs… I forgot that epsilon in that context measures the certainty of the “Infinitesimal” displacement in x. So when epsilon is really large everyone looses their shit as if the world’s going to collapse into a black hole. 😂
- Comment on Just up the production quality and they'll love it, Trust me bro 👍 5 weeks ago:
Why did I read this as nodes. Am I seriously that married to CS that I read Nudes as nodes (as in nodes from linked lists).
I guess it doesn’t help that the they’ve used the character ‘•’ in place of the ‘u’ to solicite the word “Nudes.”
