  • 4th dimension doesn't exist because even 1D or 2D themselves are not real.

    Jump

  • 1D and 2D are just mathematical abstractions.

    So are all dimensions. The number of dimensions is just an attribute of a vector space, and vector spaces are just models we humans define to describe natural phenomenona. You can claim that some of these models are more useful than others. But at no point does it make sense to claim that a model "exists" or not. There would be no meaning to such a statement, it would contain no information. Not wrong, just nonsensical.

  • Would you trust an open source software maintained by a developer who you disagree with politically (or otherwise don't like the developer)?

    Jump

  • I'd see it as a seal of quality if the developer is a crank.

  • It's weird that we "take a shit". I don't know what other people are doing, but i definitely leave a shit, not take it

  • I don't know what kinds of allegations you're trying to insinuate here. This isn't about me anyway.

  • That's irrelevant. But if someone leaves it, someone else will have to take it, is what I'm saying. Like in general.

  • So what do you think happens to all the shit you leave around? Someone's gotta take it.

  • The Fairphone 6 no longer feels like a compromise (except in the US)

  • Is this ironic or did they actually? I kind find any source saying they did.

  • Why is it so common to be interested in true crime when at the same time you're disturbed by it?

  • And if you had a dangerous person in your tribe, you better also paid very close attention to their behavior.

    What if memes aren't better than TikTok for your brain?

    Jump

  • The well-documented symptoms of various mental illnesses are a clear sign for needing help. Believing that psychologists, or at least those psychologists one has access to, don't have the competence to help is no such symptom.

  • I actually agree that they have similar effects if consumed similarly. Avoiding the mass consumption of short-form, attention-grabbing content is a great choice when you notice a decline in your ability to focus. I've occasionally done the same thing in my life, sometimes even cutting internet usage more radically than that, and it always created strongly noticeable improvements (or rather noticeable returns to my more natural state of mind).

    That being said, I still browse lemmy memes and think it's somewhat different from similar media for several reasons (these are broad generalizations, of course there are exceptions):

    • Memes are more honest as they're mainly aimed at making you laugh, and you can easily verify yourself whether you found them funny or not. Short-form videos will often contain stories, advice, or information, the value or danger of which you cannot verify so easily.
    • At least if you're looking in the right communities, memes are from the community members itself, not some slop by some influencer trying to get clicks at any price.
    • I can browse through top of the day of my lemmy meme communities in a relatively short amount of time, get some enjoyment out of it, and then just move on with my life. I don't think there is an equivalent platform for short videos. They want to keep you scrolling endlessly.

  • High Quality Offline Music - マリウス

    Jump

  • It is, the songs Lateralus and Reflection are both from the Lateralus album.

  • Can I block Tiktok purely by DNS?

    Jump

  • Not sure if this is relevant for your case, but make sure you're also blocking subdomains of the specified domains. Adguard for example allows doing that easily via regex-like rules.

  • Epstein puts my morality into perspective

    Jump

  • Like you said, society's version of morality. So it can be a very important distinction because your own version of morality might differ. Not being aware of this distinction is dangerous because it stops people from developing their own moral compass. This own morality is more firm and can be relied on in the absence of shame, or even when society encourages behavior one finds immoral.

    I'm even gonna go on a wilder speculation here and claim that one of the driving factors behind humanity's worst atrocities was that large portions of society who had the potential in them for a firm morality rooted in empathy and love never developed this potential.

    On a less import note, not being aware of this distinction can breed a lot of resentment and unhappiness, if someone is constantly compelled to follow rules that they, deep down, consider to be bullshit.

    Of course that doesn't mean I encourage people to just disregard society's version of morality and lightly assume that they know better.

    Edit: just noticed your username, I hope that furriosa is doing well <3

    Jump

  • Are you really feeling guilty about not tipping because of the moral implications, or do you just feel socially shamed? Important distinction.

  • Sharing personal information freely and willingly with anonymous strangers online very security oriented

  • I disagree.
