I am pretty confident it’s the smartphone OSs (Android and iOS) that are more at fault. I remember having to install a file browser on my smartphone. Kids grown up with smartphones may not even know there are files and folder structures.

I don’t believe random “redditors” but one can only hope

If it changes the air pressure, changing the refractive index, it will affect how fast the waves will travel. If you put it behind the router blowing towards the computer, does that increase the pressure? Then it would slow down I think. But this would only make a difference for a single wave packet; any real connection sends many packets and would be limited by the frequency of packets sent.

I see nothing wrong here. We have had these alternatives to hot dogs called beef dogs. They are great!

Didn’t know it was that large yet, that’s pretty good! The point is whether 700k leaving twitter says anything about a trend. Bluesky could be twice the size of twitter without changing the point.

I will probably start using Bluesky and Mastodon shortly.

Gimp Is Maybe Photoshop

I think the poster wants to say it means not that many in the US are leaving twitter or looking for alternatives, contrary to what the headline suggests.

It was sarcasm, hoped the smileys were enough but we live in a crazy world

He was a meanie and very unpresidential and Hillary was disliked (even by me) and people wanted something different. Now he has been shown he will literally go against any advisors and literally tried to overturn the 2020 election results. Literal anti-democratic traitor to america.

Don’t worry there were no wars under Trump last time and there won’t be this time it’s that simple 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

I could understand Trump in 2016. I could also understand Trump in 2020 but much less. In 2024? Nahh… America voted for him in 2024 and I will judge Americans for it.

Big if true

Jarring reading this as my inner voice goes from singing the song and switching to a riddle-reading voice.

You are asking something different, but I think it’s interesting to mention that the particles that go into the LHC don’t start there. The LHC gets them from the SPS, which gets them from the PS and this keeps going for a few more steps.

that’s cool

I started in software and moved on to physics, which has a lot of programming and is similar in many ways. Still, it’s different and I like that I made the choice. I will soon have contributed to physics in a small but meaningful way, which was my reason for switching. I plan to stop after that and just go back to programming. Posts like these make me think I should switch again but to an even more orthogonal subject.

the most Gigachad thing I have read in a long time

gravity is cringe (compared to the electro-weak and strong forces)

I will comment this and go to bed, finally. Thanks!
