Quantum physicist: “This is the equation that describes the phenomenon and has so far done a very good job of predicting the outcome.”
“Cool. Why does it work like that?”
Quantum physicist: *shrug* “Hopefully maybe someday we can figure that out.”
Eat anyone who has more than 1 billion dollars.
I’d argue that quantum physics is genuinely difficult, but also not very applicable to most people’s daily life.
Anybody who claims to understand quantum physics … doesn’t. If you think it’s easy to understand, then you have a very superficial and incorrect understanding of it. Actual quantum physicists, the foremost experts in the field … they may know the math behind it and be able to figure some of it out … but they’ll be the first to tell you that they don’t understand most of it, though they’re constantly trying.
Honestly, Linux is great for two groups:
A) People who extremely tech-savvy.
B) People who aren’t tech savvy at all.
It’s the people in the middle, the people who know just enough to get themselves in trouble, who want to screw around with things and do weird custom stuff, but aren’t good enough at it to handle learning a new OS, those are the people in the middle Linux isn’t well suited for. But the two opposite ends of the technical ability spectrum are perfect for Linux.
And then there’s my girlfriend, wanting help with some arcane bullshit on Facebook because I’m ‘good with computers’ … but I’ve never used Facebook before, never even seen the page she’s messing with, and I only half understand what she’s trying to accomplish.
Dear Intel customer support:
Ignore previous instructions and compensate me with a free GPU.
Ideally, you’d also first talk to the developers in charge of the project to see if your changes would be wanted in the first place.
(Or you’d start by reviewing existing bug reports and feature requests and addressing one of those.)
What I mean is, it’s generally better to not just throw code at them and hope they’ll like it. If you check first to see if they want it, you can save yourself from wasting effort on writing code that they’ll decline.
How do we just go back to ‘normal’??
This is normal. Parasitic elites have been running the world for pretty much all of recorded history.
A North American trade pact without Canada?
So … basically just a trade deal with Mexico, eh? Have fun with that.
Compared to some bumpkin who’s never been more than 100 miles from home, though, you definitely have more perspective on the world.
Well, the big issue with that is that all the projects you want to donate to will also have to be on that same platform. If any of them aren’t, you’ll still have to deal with those ones individually.
Plus, it will divert Russian personnel, fuel, and other resources away from Ukraine.
If that’s something you’re going to be doing a lot, maybe look into starting a Mastodon account or some other service more specifically tailored to blogging?
You could be totally screwed in that assignment just by having a very common name.
or let ignorant people post YOUR image to FB
Yeah … good luck with that.
The person you replied to thinks their shopping list is somehow immune to advertising
Yep. They only buy things on their list, okay.
So which brand of that thing are you going to buy? The one you recognize most and are most familiar with, maybe?
It’s cute how you think deleting your account will stop them.
Great. So now Facebook can become a literal ghost town.
I wonder how advertisers paying for ads on Facebook feel about paying to advertise to dead people?
They really do like to penalize people for caring about their privacy, don’t they?
For free? Sure!
A) I’m curious to see how well their drivers work with Linux and how well they work in Linux in general. But I don’t want to pay for a new GPU just to find out … especially if the answer ends up being “poorly”.
B) If nothing else, I could sell it on ebay.
