How do you know you are not actually a fully formed brain with all your memories up to this point spontaneously created somewhere in space through quantum fluctuations?

They probably watched too many Disney movies.

So, people seem to have explained how the time dilation works.

Now to the why:

We found out that the speed of light in a vacuum never changes. It is always the same. Usually in our everyday life speeds add up.

Let’s say you have a cannon that shoots out a ball at 100 km/h. It would hit a wall at 100 km/h.
If you were now driving a car at 100 km/h and shot the ball out of that it would hit the wall at 200 km/h.

But the speed of light is different. If you had a light cannon to shoot some light at the wall it would hit at 1 c (the speed of light). But if you drove a car at 100 km/h and shot the cannon from there it would not hit the wall at 1c + 100 km/h. It would still be 1 c.

That’s pretty strange and counter intuitive. Albert Einstein calculated the results of that. What must really be happening is that time slows down and space contracts slightly the faster you drive. So that in the end the speed of light stays the same.

We usually don’t notice that effect at the speeds of your everday life. But we have satellites for GPS with atomic clocks in orbit where that effect becomes relevant. By now they are a few seconds out of sync with stationary earth clocks.

So GPS navigation proofs that time dilation is real.

The code doesn’t care where it lives. You could probably automatically push the changes to Github and whatever you end up using as the official source. Linux does that as well.

FYI: 2d printers deliberately place microscopic yellow markings on every page to identify the printer used.

Fake: she’s not really the mother (yet)

Gay: the flowers hopefully made her happy

And Maelle encourages me by aggressively shouting “Parry it!” at me.

Finally Linux can do a barrel roll!

That game (emulated) was actually one of the first games I played on my Deck.

Should crosspost to [email protected].

How do you launch it in desktop mode? Do you just click on play in Steam?

I used ChatGPT to help me make a package with SUSE’s Open Build Service. It was actually quite good. Was pulling my hair out for a while until I noticed that the project I wanted to build had changes URLs and I was using an outdated one.

In the end I just had to get one last detail right. And then my ChatGPT 4 allowance dried up and they dropped me back down to 3 and it couldn’t do anything. So I had to use my own brain, ugh.

Yeah, Star Wars isn’t science fiction at all. It’s fantasy.

We have just come to associate spaceships with science fiction. But in Star Wars there isn’t the least bit of science behind the technology.

I wouldn’t have closed my window myself but asked my son to do it for me. That small manoeuvre cost me pain and suffering today. Fuck Long Covid. Fuck CFS/ME.

Watch The Green Butchers.

Not for all launchers. It’s enabled by default for select titles but should work with everything using standard Win32 controls.

You rather be like the guy who survived Hiroshima, then went to work in Nagasaki and survived that one as well?

In the Solo movie Lando has a droid who wants to fight for droid liberation. But it’s mostly played for laughs without any real consequences.

Probably not. But they will have to be sued first.

N64 games never seemed blurry to me. But Wii games did.

That’s prevalent in the Might and Magic series. But (probably depending on the game) the high technology is often hidden from the common folk.
