Easiest way to prove it:

1 = 3/3 = 1/3 * 3 = 0.333... * 3 = 0.999...

While you're not incorrect for some parts of the world (namely the richer ones, in poor parts of the world buying overpriced things often still is seen as a statue symbol) that doesn't change that he's not asking a question in ask lemmy.

Well we know nowadays that the universe isn't infinite, but is expanding, and the speed of expanding is accelerating. We don't know if that will keep accelerating, if the universe will keep expanding forever.

I'm atheist but that's not one of the reasons for it since you can explain it logically. The usual case here is that there can't be good without evil (either there are both or everything is the same).

Example experience from my life: You eat great food at a restaurant every now and then. Then you join the military and eat bad food every day. After a while the bad food becomes normal, and when you're at home and just cook something that was normal before it's great.

If everything just is great, nothing is great anymore. If everything is good, nothing is good.

Because of the cosmic microwave background.

Here, this covers it quite well on a very basic level https://www.space.com/33892-cosmic-microwave-background.html

The only issue I see is that they make a new Chinese equivalent for GitHub where they can censor code easier (or was GitHub already blocked?), but they already censor everything anyway so there's probably effectively no change.

Except the population (at least in my country) is quickly growing anyway because so many refugees come. And there will be far more if climate change continues at this speed.

Edit: this comment isn't directed against immigration (judging by the downvotes you probably interpreted it that way), I'm just stating the way it is rn

Like fascist Italy with South Tyrol... Can we please stop repeating fascist things?

pumpkinseedoil ,

At the time it was annexed (after ww1) it was about 99% German, 1% Ladinian and 0% Italian (obviously, since it never was affiliated with Italy), so they had to try really hard to change that. To do that, they created Italian names for all places (ironically English-speaking people typically use the Italian names nowadays that haven't even existed before), made the native language illegal, made the native culture partly illegal, taught alternative history in school (saying it always was that way and it just was a missing part of Italy despite having been Tyrol for over a thousand years), deporting the native population to Germany, etc. Fascism doing fascism things.

After Italian fascism ended in 1945 it got better, but it took until the 70s for South Tyrol to gain autonomy in most regards and for the native population to gain back their rights. And that also only happened because of a lot of protesting (going as far as blowing things up).

The result of all: Still >70% German, a few % Ladinian, rest Italian. But it would've been different if they hadn't had as much support (from North Tyrol for example) and if it wasn't mountainous (that really helps with doing things secretly that have been made illegal.

Now that less and less people still are here who have experienced fascist oppression it's our task to ensure that it isn't forgotten, forgetting fascism's crimes is the first step towards the return of fascism. Right-wing populist parties are becoming stronger again all over Europe right now, and a few of them have been downplaying fascist crimes already - which wouldn't even be possible if everyone was well informed.

(Btw it already was a widely controversial topic back then - on one side the UK had promised Italy that they'd get South Tyrol (among other areas, some that they also got and some that they didn't get because of mainly USA's concerns) if they joined their side in the war, on the other the USA for example saw the problems that'd be coming with annexing a culturally and historically 100% different region (and trying to replace the native culture) and was firmly against it)

Those two were always mixed. Majorly German but still mixed. Most importantly they never were their own culture, just part of a bigger culture. And they weren't cultural core regions.

North Tyrol and South Tyrol, even when ignoring their well over a thousand year old ties with Austria and going back to a time before Austria existed, have always been one culture, united. I guess you could compare it to taking Latium (the region around Rome), splitting it in two parts, choosing one part and making it let's say French, forcing everyone there to be French, trying to replace local culture, cuisine, language, clothes, festivities etc. with their French equivalent, telling people that it has always been French, etc. Not sure if North Latium and South Latium are as close culturally as North Tyrol and South Tyrol, but I suppose so and at least they're an Italian cultural core region and have been for ages so at least in that regard they're comparable.

(Except the people there would have a harder time resisting since they can't hide as easily as in the mountains, so chances for success would be higher.)

And that's not even considering that the cultural gap between Tyrol (typical Alpine culture) and Italy is much bigger than between for example the Provence and Latium (both maritime).

You say "all" but I'm pretty sure you only mean the ones in specific countries. In most European countries they simply do their job and don't have a negative connotation (apart from people getting angry when they have to pay fines for speeding / parking wrongly / etc.).

Requirements and training also are much harsher here.

Pretty much everyone is making posts in English because I'm pretty sure literally everyone on Lemmy can speak English. You can't assume someone's nationality / first language just because a post is in English.

What does the world think of India?

I am an Indian and I have noticed that Indians are way too proud of their country for some reason and at the same time lack any civic sense towards it, they are extremely loud and extremely proud. We feel like the world revolves around India and our culture is superior to that of others. Also, a considerable chunk of the...

How did you come to the conclusion that Ukraine is affiliated with national socialism?

Laptop:

  • Cheap when buying used, meanwhile used PC parts still are insanely expensive. So on the used market in my country you get the most value when buying a used gaming pc.

  • Especially cheap when considering I don't have to buy a laptop. A useful laptop would cost like 400€, I bought my gaming laptop for 900€ (3 months used, instead of 1400€), same performance in a desktop would cost 1000€+ So normal laptop + gaming desktop would be 1400€+, I only spent 900€.

  • Portable. Not much to say here.

Why? Just remember: After some time (depending on your instrument, age and talent) you'll suddenly be able to play really good sounding music <3

Try GrapheneOS (on a Google pixel, ironically) if you truly want privacy

Child of his time. A working society without slaves wasn't imaginable.

pumpkinseedoil ,

Not if you disable all voice commands and use something like GrapheneOS (maybe even with stock android and ios when disabling all voice commands but I wouldn't count on it)

pumpkinseedoil ,

True, but the comment I've replied to talked about smartphones in general. My point was that it is possible to avoid being stalked.

I prefer MultiMC as it does the same while being extremely lightweight. Or does prism have any special features that multimc doesn't have?

Is the Intel + Nvidia performance on Linux worse than on windows?

pumpkinseedoil ,

Which kind of restrictions?

Switching to AMD isn't an option, I don't want to spend money to switch to Linux.

Yes, multimc only has a repository of finished modpacks you can download.

And if they aren't, don't call them Nazis. For example I strongly disagree with the term "grammar nazi" that English speaking people sometimes use for people who point out grammatical flaws in comments or articles - that may sensitise people to view the term lightly, not taking it seriously when someone seriously is a nazi. Apart from that it's a cruel joke towards the people who suffered under the nazi regime or died fighting it.

For YouTube install NewPipe (from the internet or from F-Droid)

On android? In general!

A local VPN defeats the purpose. A VPN server that gets lots of request from different devices is what you want because then noone can know who made which request, they only see it's coming from the VPN server.

Which features do you enjoy?

It's such a strange concept that people in America don't generally have Sundays off
