I started to watch him as he never pulled punches and picked some great match ups of guests and hot topics.
I stopped because his insufferable ego kept compelling him to continuously talk over everyone with his non-stop opinionated smug. Once I noticed I was just watching one man listening to the sound of his own voice while guests that I wanted to hear from get repeatedly cut off at every third word by his desire to manufacture Jerry Springer type drama, I realised how punchable I truely found him to be.
How often do you think people ask Google a question, either to the assistant or just in the search bar and get served the answer scraped directly into the search results, and never need to actually click into the article at all?
Facebook does this too.
Between that and needing to adjust ones journalism style to appease click throughs and the algorithm just to get eyes on ads, dilutes the quality of the write ups as an added problem.
I think making social media pay might be misguided, but there is definitely a problem, maybe even a form of plagiarism committed by alot of these social media giants by taking other people’s work and serving it up directly, and summarized on their own sites next to a link that many people won’t click on. It is after all in their best interest to get you to stay on the feed feeding.
Reddit is absolutely guilty of this too. It’s just that we happily do it for them and create TLDR bots and the like.
It’s absolutely fair if Google is populating their feeds with weather, news and other content from other peoples hard work, and then having the balls to serve up ads, that these websites should have a right to claim a cut of the advertising or not have the information shown.
Good shout. Yeah I’m struggling to comprehend that people pay top tier laptop / second hand car prices for a phone. The 8 pro is basically perfect otherwise. 7 or maybe 8 vanilla could be the way to go.
Yeah. I imagine the Global’s are less of a hassle. The Chinese ROM was horrific. Got most of it to work eventually but could never get the assistant to work at all pretty much. MIUI in general I found to be a bit of a hack experience.
From my understanding, yeah kinda. Will preface this by saying I’m not an astrophysicist in even the broadest sense.
But for time to exist at all, we have to assume there was a zero. And seeing as time is a measure of space, if time was zero, then space was too.
We can also ‘see’ the age of the universe. As we can see the earliest cosmic soup behind our stars, and through red shift (the way light shifts it’s wavelength over time) can calculate the age of this background to 13 billion years. So we can say the age of the universe was 13 billion years ago (relative to our viewing angle of our telescopes.)
We also know that even though that light itself took 13 billion years to reach us, The universe, and space it occupies, is expanding and we theorise that it could be as much as 89 billion light years wide. This doesn’t mean the universe is now 89 billion years old though. If you drew on a balloon and blew it up, the drawing would get bigger but there wouldnt suddenly be more ink. It’s just expanded in all directions.
We also know that space and time is affected by gravity. Space shrinks around black holes, and so does time. It’s not a clean straight line, but waves, stretches and curves as it is affected by the masses around it. From the relative positions of these black holes time and space will still appear the same and light will still travel at the same speed, it will still cross the same distance even though that distance has been compressed.
In other words from an outsider looking in it would appear that light has slowed down, and from an insider looking out it would seem that the universe outside is moving faster than it does to us on earth but this is warping nature of time and space. It doesn’t make the universe older or younger, It makes the time it took light to reach them appear different.
So for a person living in a black hole today, the red shifted light of the cosmic microwave background may look much much older, or may not have reached them yet as space has compressed, and as such the background is also further away (in raw space) and the time would be older. But thats relative to them and not ACTUALLY longer ago. Only because we’re still measuring that time scale in earth time units from our perspective in this conversation.
When I say living in a black hole I mean off the edge of the event horizon where time and space can still work according to our known principles of course!
Astrophysicists in this thread please correct me. This is a layman’s attempt at an ELI5 and is likely riddled with slight misinterpretations.
It’s got to do with a poor sleep routine mixed with the stress and caffeine that it often comes with.
Cut out caffeine three hours before bed, don’t eat too soon before bed, try get into a regular sleep and wake up routine and try get at least 6 hours minimum. And don’t go to bed with your phone in your face!
Smooth rounded corners or continuous corners (used throughout iOS) can be easily achieved in Figma and other design software. I’m fairly sure there’s no way to do this simply on the web and it drives me mad. Do y’all know of any ways to do this that can actually be used in production?
Games are expensive in general, especially AAA new titles. But to say they are stealing from customers seems a bit disengenuous. Game prices have barely changed in 20 years, if anything they’ve gotten cheaper. PS games are often less than Nintendo, and if you aren’t fussed with waiting they tend to drop in price dramatically after a year.
Most polished titles can take many years and huge teams to make and provide 20+ hours of entertainment. Which is a lot more bang than a 2 hour film.
The only problem I have is with digital titles charging the same as a physical title. Theoretically the cut in brick and mortar, printing and 3rd party mark ups should be shared with the customer who no longer has a physical copy to hold or resell and needs and account and internet to enjoy.

In one short comment you’ve made me go from vaguely appreciating a friendly, prompt and punctuated reply to a review, to making every exclamation punched message smell like sweet sticky corporate sarcasm.
I’m getting completely sick of inanimate objects and concepts blasting and slamming people. It’s always Country X Slams Y, or building X blasts Y.
What’s wrong with Andrew Bates criticizing Elon Musk. Why do we sum these people up to a point they become shadows behind a larger concept?
The White House is a building filled with people and opinions. It doesn’t blast shit, shut the hell up. No take away from the content here. I’m just fed up with click bait and hearing that whole countries have a unified voice, going around slamming things everytime some asshole says something about another asshole just because the media needs to put a more famous face behind it to give it a bit more oomf.
Apologies for the rant, but I find it all very misleading and rather annoying. The amount of times a country of 300 million people has blasted some dude without consulting with said 300 million people is upsetting.
Having said that, Musk is a cunt. But I say that, not Lemmy. Lol.
I snagged a deal on grocery store basil. What sized pot(s) would be best to repot this into as 13 stems is a bit crowded for a 4" pot lol. Trying to keep this lil’ fella happy....
Theyre probably a bit big to separate out now, but what about trying cuttings?
Plant this one into a pot about twice the size, and cut all the stems down to just above the third node. Each cutting should be ‘leaf node - stem - leaf node - stem’. Trim off the bottom set of leaves on each cutting, and soak them all in a jar of water, ensuring the bottom cleaned node is submerged. ( You can leave about half an inch of stem below the second node).
In about 2-3 weeks you should have loads of roots springing from each node, and in 6 weeks you should have a few healthy trays of basil plants growing in pots sized in your picture and a never ending supply of basil.
Bonus: all the leaves left after trimming have on slices of mozzarella with a drizzle of balsamic.
Late reply, sorry just going though my messages here. But I get all the Linux love, however I assume you’re a developer or a writer. Linux is incredibly niche and basically a non option for a vast load of industries.
Im a professional video editor and animator. Adobe is my bread and butter. I can’t use another option realistically either as it mostly doesn’t exist or I have to send out my projects to other creators and need to be able to talk to other PCs.
Linux doesn’t support Adobe, it doesn’t support about 80% of my other creative softwares, it won’t play nice. Windows, for my use case runs like a dream.
Until Linux gets broader adoption of actual pro level applications for the film industry (and many others), it will always be a niche OS for coders and web devs sadly. I’d sooner roll back to windows XP than use Linux.

If time is relative, how can we say the known universe is 13 billion years old. Wouldn’t different parts of the universe been in existence for more or less time? Is this relative to us? Or an average?
