oh its 5 planes? I thought this was some kind of laser that somehow activated the sky’s icecrystals like … sigh … "chem"trails. (they are not ‘chem’ trails, they are atmospheric disturbances caused by planes)

couldn’t drones do this?

So, that would actually be: Mogh, son of Worf

Economics is not math, its a religion.

I ❤️ this so much. Thank you 😁

Eh, no. Mathematics is an hallucination of ours we are trying to desperately map onto reality. I say this as a mathematician. When you look out into our reality, you know what we see? A curved universe. There is nothing in our reality that is truely STRAIGHT.

YET, we creatures came up with such an natural thing as a straight line. Straight lines are a uniquely human hallucination. Its the logic we use to make sense of the world, but its a Rorschach test of our own making. You are attaching meaning to it because thats what our brains do. generate meaning out of chaos.

I need to look no further than pi, which is a number that represents our feeble attempts to push the round universe into our square heads. Its trying to represent the curved universe as a straight line (and visavers) - and reality said : LOL, NOPE!! YOU get a number that is more illusive than the irrationals. A never ending non patterned number.

All of nature is not based on mathematics. Mathematics is the language we use to describe nature. Thats like saying the Grand Canyon is BASED on book describing the Grand Canyon.

1.) No its not. Its our language, not nature’s.

2.) To a degree, yes. But thats because our brains are pattern seeking and pattern generating machines - not because nature follows a system WE made up.

3.) Did I mention Pi yet

THIS is a graph of a discovery that I made in number theory. Does it look like it has a pattern to you? I think this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, because IT MAKES NO SENSE. which means, we still have a lot to discover and learn

To quote the first words of the old Dune movie:

“A beginning is a very delicate time.”

What we should all take responsibility for is the health and quality of the community. We should be more active citizens, instead of the passive “consumers” we’ve all been corporately groomed to be.

I think more instances are the answer because this activity can’t be cheap. maybe Lemmy.world splits off into 2 or 4 instances. Lemmy1.world etc

This dynamic will have to stabilize in costs. I don’t know what that looks like.

squabbles is non federated… i just signed up with raddle

I mean, what other reddit clones are there?

sure, its “not acceptable” that the majority of your users are democratically voting to take these subs to NSFW.

This is the last gasp of the irrelevant. Just like applebees was blaming ‘the kids these days’ and their avocado toast as to why they won’t pay $17 for a microwaved cheeseburger… That generation was out of touch with the modern consumer, and instead of ADAPTING (like capitalism says it does), they blamed what should be “their customers” on their business model failing.

Well, reddit is being just as myopic.

To them its “not acceptable” that the majority of its users have changed their minds and are actively trying to ruin the site. They just can’t accept that idea, so the behavior is “not acceptable”. Get a clue guys. Just because we keep loading your website doesn’t mean we’re going to keep being your free content and moderation generators.

The third panel of that is LINUX: Can you install this 25 year old program?

It was already installed on there.
