Griffith is the best best quantum mechanics book I’ve ever read, what are you on about.

I honestly can’t tell if you’re doing a bit or are actually serious.

As if american measurements have ever made sense. Look up how they measure screws or wires and despair.

Was supposed to be the cosmic phenomenon, but sure, why not.

Bullshit.

¡Ay, caramba!

Those recommendation systems have lots of problems, I agree, especially if they optimize for monetary benefit of the platform above all else.

But you need them if you want to have interesting stuff recommended, simple as that. I can’t (and have no interest to) read every Mastodon post ever, same for Lemmy. And I admit it, I don’t even want to read every post my friends make.

Mastodon feels like a torrent of random unrelated comments drowing out anything that might be interesting. I tried it, I don’t see any value in it. Even for following friends it’s unusable, there is the one that posts three times a day and the one that posts once every three weeks, there is no way to ever see one of his posts, unless I specifically go to his profile to look. I’ve given up on Mastodon.

I once broke my Ubuntu install by trying to convert it KDE Neon, that reinstalled half my packages and left it in an basically unusable state.

Fuck, I think you just gave me an idea for an issue in my code that has bugged me for days.

Jep, always the K in KDE applications, like oKular and dolphin.

\pi

Hard to do as those functions are often limits and need infinite function applications. I’m telling you, math.PI is a finite lie!
