I literally got banned from the “awfulsystems” Lemmy instance for suggesting that Firefox isn't horrible. No exaggeration, there was nothing else to my comment than a polite suggestion that Firefox is pretty good actually.
If that ban isn't driven by hate, I don't want to see how real hate looks like.
This shows how unhinged the whole recent hate on Firefox is. Turning off GenAI is literally one single setting AND Mozilla is doing things infinitely better than others (e.g. the translation feature is completely local, and having a chatbot in the sidebar is opt-in)
The USA continues to baffle me. You people still have paper checks? I haven't seen one in at least 30 years in Europe (before that I was too little to care about such things, so I might never have seen one)
Sorry, I'm not a physicist, but the big bang happening everywhere at once isn't up for debate. As far as I understand, it's a well-settled fact. Read the article!
The universe expanding means it gets sparser. It has no edge and no center, so it's not spherical. It's either infinite or repeating (e.g. it might be the surface of a 4D torus, but as said: that doesn't imply an edge). I personally believe it's infinite and not repeating.
Metaphors like this at helpful for approaching understanding, but you can't extrapolate from them. There was no 3D space in which the big bang occurred, “nothing” is not the same as “a patch of vacuum in spacetime”. An explosion doesn't start as dimensionless singularity, it starts with the matter that explodes. And so on.
There's also no reason to believe that the big bang happened at one “point”. I believe that the universe (and therefore the big bang) are infinite.
Everything is relative, so something infinite can still expand: since there's no absolute speed, galaxies can move away from each other everywhere, at all times.
No:
Just user Zarr or so for array data. A table with more than 200 rows isn't ”human readable” anyway.
