Like I said, time is likely a dimension. It just doesn’t behave like a proper dimension in our universe / reality.

Nah, this universe is 3d.
I’m assuming you are thinking that time is the 4th dimension and we have time here so we are 4d?
Time may be the 4th dimension, but in our universe, time doesn’t actually behave like a proper dimension. For one thing, dimensions should be spatially perpendicular to each other and time is not. We also seem to only be able to move one way through time whereas we can move back and forth through the other 3 dimensions.
Dimensions get weird and complicated. For the intents and purposes of this conversation it’s correct to say that the universe were experiencing now is 3 dimensional.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmy, what's the meaning, or point if you prefer, of life? I know 42, but I'm serious. Nothing lasts, everything is meaningless - are we just amusing ourselves until death?

I love how they are also basically all the same guy haha
We’re moving towards an economy of low volume luxury good vs mass produced goods for the average person. Basically the floor will just keep rising until less and less people can afford things. The people who still can afford things will be getting nicer and more expensive stuff as time goes on.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Researching making the switch from Windows on my main PC and I have questions.
10·5 months agoOk so I’ll just focus on dual booting since there are other thorough replys here.
I really recommend that you DO dual boot but only in a specific way.
When people say “Dual Boot”, this can mean two very different things.
A common way to dual boot is to have windows and Linux exist on the same drive by partitioning the drive and installing a boot manager. I strongly advise against this. It’s not worth the risk and pain.
Just install linux on a totally new drive and select it as the boot drive from bios. Leave you windows drive untouched.
Linux is much better than it ever has been. There is a very good chance it can do everything you want. But, especially as someone running a business, there will be times when you just need to get something done and will want to fall back to what you know. These times often lead to people giving up and rolling back to windows in a panic.
Just leave yourself a way to instantly and effortlessly fall back into windows as needed and eventually you will end up doing that less and less. Until you don’t do it at all and the windows drive gets wiped for more Linux storage.
LM studio is not open source at all.

Why does a game console need a webcam?

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Fedora Linux devs discuss dropping 32-bit packages - potentially bad news for Steam gamersEnglish
1·6 months agoIt’s really unlikely this will become an issue. Especially not one without an easy solution. Fedora is a very popular distro.
Since when do cops do stuff like this? Is this some white privilege or something I’m confused.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Music Production and Software Synthesizers/VST's under Linux
31·6 months agoSo this is kind of going to be weird advice. Maybe not exactly what you are looking for.
You don’t need all those synths and plugins. You really don’t. You can get so, so far just by learning to use the tools that are built into Reaper or Bitwig.
There are really only a handful of audio effects that “really exist” a lot of FX plugins are just complex chains with fancy UIs. But if you understand what they’re doing “under the hood” you can reproduce almost any sound from from the basic building blocks you have.
The same is true for synthesisers. You truly only need one synth as long as it is a flexible, general purpose modern synth. Learning to use one specific synth to it’s full potential will let you make almost any sound you can imagine. Vital synth is a perfect candidate here btw.
Overall I kind of think part of the Linux mindset in general is kind of about doing things your self based on an understanding of the core principals at play.
That being said, there are tons of plugins coming out with native Linux support all the time and it’s getting better every day.
I’m actually about to drop some Linux builds of some plugins myself but I don’t want to dox myself here so that will have to remain a mystery for now.

Science Memes@mander.xyz•Leaves have evolved at least twice 🤔English
1·6 months agoOhh I also misunderstood the question.
The term for what your talking about is “convergent evolution”.

I understand the “lesson” he’s teaching them and also understand that open book tests should be harder.
Point is that he’s tricking them. Or letting them trick themselves. That’s not what a friend or trusted adult would do. That’s what an adversary would do.
He has power over these kids in a big way and should be honest and up front about the reality of the situation.



Yellow, Magenta and Cyan are not really “in between” 2 primary colors. More like a sum of 2 primary colors.
We can explore this with the RGB color space model.
R G B 1 0 0 - red 0 1 0 - green 0 0 1 - blue 1 1 0 - yellow 0 1 1 - cyan 1 0 1 - magenta 1 1 1 - white 0 0 0 - blackSo you can see for instance that yellow is actually 2x as “bright” as red. In this model, white is 3x as bright as red.
