Our smartphones, operating systems and apps are dominated by Google & Apple. "[...] these two Silicon Valley profit-driven companies decide which apps are or aren't allowed, and moderate what our mobile software looks like." says @danlammerhirt from @waag working on the Mobifree project (together with a.o. @efoundation@fdroid@NGIZero@murena@microg@delta
It’s not that easy, Google heavily dictates the development goals of Android. It’s basically developed behind closed doors, and then the source is dumped to the public after each release. Still better than iOS, but nothing like regular Linux distros
Telegram started the enshittification route already. Premium version, locked features and stickers, spam about their crypto crap, and now these useless stories
For what I can tell, after the clickbaits and the sensationalisms, there is an actual unexplained discrepancy in the values of the Hubble constant measured with different methods. This means that something is not right in one of the methods (perhaps both), or that we are missing something else.
And yes, the Hubble constant is closely related to the age of the universe, so it’s basically the same issue.
This is actually a good thing, because the “crisis” can be the first clue to discovering some new exciting science! Just look at how the “ultraviolet catastrophe” kickstarted the field of quantum mechanics a century ago
OK, I’ve actually watched the video this time (the last part, as you suggested). It seems that the author decided to leave out the debate about the Hubble constant and talk about other phenomena in the early universe, which also have their uncertainties.
As far as I can tell, the Hubble tension is still a thing, and JWST only confirmed the measurements of the Hubble telescope. See for example this recent article on ars technica.
If two people agree to a debate, but one of them participates in bad faith, and spends the majority of the time talking over the other, sidestepping virtually every point their counterpart makes, blatantly lies, employs personal insults and frequently airs irrelevant grievances, is it still considered a debate?
I want to switch from android phone to linux and i want to know which phone is closest to daily driver. I only need call sms and bluetooth to work and battery should last 1 day. also working map camera and web browser app would be great. for os i have thinked to use ubuntu touch or postmarket os. Phones what i have most...
I can’t give you any useful advice on the phone/os, but I really think you should keep an old or cheap android phone as a backup. You never know when you are going to absolutely need some app, that is unfortunately only available on mainstream phones (android or iOS).
