  • i knew it, i felt it, sp3ctr4l is a reference to Spectral Theorem. Every real, symmetric matrix is diagonalizable.

  • I think the existential horror isn't because of the phone call or the pizza, but because everything else around you. The decline of society, the probable collapse of the economy, the uncertain future ...

  • Well, you could argue that computer chips are photolithography and therefore, in some sense, "written in stone", i guess.

  • Great to hear it! And i've had some of that feeling too 😊

  • "silberzunge" miss brainfart z.b.

    bist du nicht eh in mia's gruppenchat? dann kennst du sie ja

  • o.O du verarscht mich jetzt oder? noch so'n cutie das aus deutschland stammt. Ich wohne in Wien ;-)

  • My experiences are pretty similar to yours. I don't enjoy "typical male activities", i don't like my body hair, i don't want to be seen as "strong", i just want to be seen as small and let my hair grow.

    Fortunately, you don't have to be "all man" or "all woman". It's fine to not give yourself a label, and just be yourself. That is, in my opinion, the most healthy thing to do, if your circumstances allow it.

  • woag you speak german (gasp)

    where are you from?

  • actually i think it kinda is nice and easy to do, i'm just too lazy/cheap to rent a server with 8GB of RAM, even though it would only cost $15/month or sth.

  • well yeah if you look at it like that, then it might seem so. but they're underestimating exponential growth

    sources for the pictures: the first two are from ourworldindata.org, the last one is a plot i made my self, based on the extrapolation in the third picture.

  • i think termux is probably already the best way to go, it ensures linux-like flexibility, i guess. but yeah, properly wiring it up, with a nice Graphical User Interface, would be nice, i guess.

    Edit: now that i think about it, i guess running it on some server that you rent, is maybe better, because then you can access that chat log from everywhere, and also, it doesn't drain your battery so much. But then, you need to rent a server, so, idk.

    Edit again: Actually, somebody should hook up the DeepSeek chatbot to Matrix chat, so you can message it directly through your favorite messaging protocol/app.


    edit again: (one hour later) i tried setting up deepseek 8b model on my rented server, but it doesn't have enough RAM. i tried adding swap space, but it doesn't let me. I figured out that you can't easily add swap space in a container. somehow, there seems to be a reason to that. too tired to explore further. whatever.

  • I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, systemd/GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, systemd plus GNU plus Linux. GNU/Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning systemd init system made useful by the systemd daemons, shell utilities and redundant system components comprising a full init system as defined by systemd itself.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the systemd init system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of systemd which is widely used today is often called GNU/Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the systemd init system, developed by the Red Hat.

    There really is a GNU/Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the init system they use. GNU/Linux is the os: a collection of programs that can be run by the init system. The operating system is an essential part of an init system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete init system. GNU/Linux is normally used in combination with the systemd init system: the whole system is basically systwmd with GNU/Linux added, or systemd/GNU/Linux. All the so-called GNU/Linux distributions are really distributions of systemd/GNU/Linux!

  • Yes, it is possible. I think it will be something like this:

    image source

    where proprietary software will eventually be replaced by FOSS software. it just takes a while (Linux was released in 1991).


    also, for social media, it's not so much about the software used, more about who controls it, and hosting plays a significant part in this. the question is, how do we put up an organization large enough to actually sustain that many users?

    who pays for image/short video upload for a billion people? small instances on the fediverse already cost real money. feddit.org has 1000 users and reportedly already costs $1000/month to host, IIRC (which seems expensive, even to me, anyways), and catbox.moe, which is a donation-funded service also costs around $1000 (says so on their website). that number would obviously increase sharply if there were more users. So: who pays for it?

  • i, too, have :3 in the .bashrc

  • step 1: download the iso

    step 2: insert the round thing into your drive?

  • yeah you're right, i've also been thinking about developments in a parallel universe a lot.

    i cannot convince myself that the universe is purely deterministic because the universe is huge (it literally includes all things in existence); surely some of all those things must have non-deterministic behavior!

    I have started to think of it as deterministic behavior being actually pretty rare, with just a few things which we can actually predict reliably about the future and a huge sea of chance! It fits my intuition nicely. I must and will investigate these things into a lot of detail, for sure. I'm especially intrigued by seeing the world as a network of events, where deterministic connections run like trails through the network. It's interesting to see the structure of it all.
