Are reddit paying contributors, moderators or people creating posts¿? If no then how are they claiming that buying a golden upvote supports contributors

It seems your igpu is being used instead of the dGPU

If just most games wold run on Linux out of box at least same as on Windows, i can imagine there would be shift in market share.

You could argue that this is somewhat true by looking at the protondb numbers for the top 1000 games. 88% of the games are silver rated or better and the majority of those 12% games are competitive multiplayer titles with weird/invasive anti cheats.

So are you saying that privacy wise there is no difference between a device running stock rom and a rom like lineage with GApps??

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

My device doesn't have support for graphene or Divest unfortunately. Which is why I made this post. I am guessing that lack of Google play and Google location services alone would be a massive improvement for my privacy.

What if I use the aurora store¿? Will that protect my privacy

 

So recently my moto G60 reached the end of life with respect to security updates. That was the reason I was using to prevent myself from switching to a custom rom(actual reason is laziness). This phone has rom support for pixel experience and lineage OS. So my questions are if pixel experience has any privacy advantages when compared to the stock rom the phone ships with¿? Also if I flash GApps along with lineage OS will all the privacy advantages I get with lineage disappear¿? I might need Google play services for some banking applications.

I am a little slow - what exactly I am looking at here¿? Many of them seem to be playing modern warfare 2

First of all, talking about a photon's experience is weird because when moving at the the speed of light, the transformation equations associated with changing the frame of reference start having infinities appearing within them which makes it impossible to mathematically define things like time elapsed or distance travelled.

Secondly it is a little confusing to talk about of frames of reference but I will try my best to explain.

Assume there are two balls(A and B) in an empty region of spacing moving away from each other at speed of 1m/s. Since there are refrences in the background, we have no idea of both the balls are moving or ball A is the only one moving or ball B is the only one moving. From ball A's perspective, it would seem like ball B is moving away from it while it is stationary. Vice versa for ball B which thinks A is moving while it is stationary. Now let us say that the balls have a way to measure the time elapsed and distance travelled. Now when ball A sees that 10 seconds have passed and that ball B has travelled 10m. To verify this it measures the reading shown by ball B. To its surprise it finds out the reading from B's instruments show that only 8 seconds have and that B travelled only 8m. This is the time dialation and length contraction that happens in special relativity. Till now everything is fine but interesting things start to happen when you switch perspectives. In the frame of reference of B, it measures that 10 seconds has passed and that A has moved 10m in that duration. When it tries to verify these measurements from A's instruments, it finds out that they show that only 8sec have passed and that A has only travelled 8m. Now we are in trouble as these measurements seem incompatible. Not only are the instruments not agreeing with each, other, the instruments don't even agree with themselves depending on the frame. This is eventually resolved by the realisation that the order of events is not the same for all frames. In A's, frame, it seems to B that started measuring late by 2s while from B's frame it seems A started measurements later. Adding this 2 second delay in both frames solves all the measurement inconsistency issues.(The numbers used are random. If you actually calculate the difference in measurements coming from a relative velocity of 1m/s, the differences will be exceeding small)

Now that a basic understanding is out of the way, let us discuss the case of the photon. From our frame of reference, the photon is moving at the speed of light, we can measure with our instruments for how long the photon moved and what was the distance it moved but when we measure using the photon's instruments we see that the clock always shows the same time and no time has lapsed. From the photon's frame, it seems like it is stationary and everything else is moving at the speed of(which is obviously not true. Weird things happen when we try talk of moving at the speed of light beacuse of the infinities I aluded to before) and so while it clock is ticking, the clocks of the world around it seem stopped. So in conclusion while it valid to say that photons experience no time, it is only because we can't go to the photon's frame of reference because physics and math fail us that point.

Sorry for the incredibly long reply.

Actually light does experience time in its own frame of reference. For somebody observing(us in this example) the light or any object that moves at the speed of light in vacuum, it would seem that object is not experiencing time at all, that is, if there was clock on the object and we tried to measure the time that clock reads, it would give the same number as the result of the reading irrespective of when or where we measure it in our frame of reference.

Somebody please teach the bot to just say Twitter instead of X, formerly known as Twitter. Will save 4 words

Yes it's a luxury but in a lot of 3rd countries, these luxuries help people to learn and improve their English and general soft skills.

People are saying it is morally justified to pirate which is the same conclusion your seemed to have reached. Nobody is saying it is legally justified.
