  No - I prefer gnome. KDE has more “inbuilt” customisability in that you don’t necessarily have to mess about with extensions, but gnome has a large and well enough maintained extensions community that this doesn’t matter. I just thought it’d be more up your alley if you prefer cinnamon, which is also windows-like

  Did you try the KDE plasma environment for fedora on desktop?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iHave a Lovesick Teacher⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a better generalised solution, yeah. Though I do think that as far as conceptual clarity goes, doing it geometrically is a bit more transparent than using the chain rule, even if it’s sort of constrained to constant speed in this case

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iHave a Lovesick Teacher⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Rigourously overcomplicating the problem: Let dy = distance boy travels north in time dt, and dx = distance girl travels east in time dt. We know that dy = 5dx from the question, hence:

     |
     |
  

  dy | | |__ dx

  And the distance they separate dS in time dt is clearly the hypoteneuse. So we can write:

  dS = sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2)

  And divide through by dt:

  dS/dt = sqrt( (dx/dt)^2 + (dy/dt)^2 )

  Simply gives the rate of separation dS/dt as 5.1 feet per second.

  I’m not sure what you understand by the word “ideology”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Major L⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You are incorrect. Marx felt strongly that his ideas should be used politically to change the state of the world. Aspects Marxism can be applied in a scientific/apolitical way, but this is not what it was initially developed for.

  Combination of targeted oil money bribery + whipping up tribalism, some explicitly sell their souls while others tie their self-worth to a lie

  But the issue is that this post also does that. This is, essentially, a zionist post.

  The near side is at times blocked by the earth, and the far side is not. Simple as that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some cheeses are luminescent.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Dark side of the moon” is the most idiotic phrase ever. If anything, the far side gets significatnly more sunlight so should really be called the “light side”.

  Ah yeah. I’m from the UK and we don’t really experience that. Although the attitude still exists in the older generation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🫤🤬🥴⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A huge number of Gen X and boomers have a strange idea that you’re supposed to distrust and challenge doctors constantly. Like they’re going to try to cheat you or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gottem⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s probably (hopefully) not a majority, but a disturbing number of people really do believe it works like that. I’ve once had someone, whose intelligence I used to respect, calmly explain to me that telekinesis is possible because “QM proves that the mind can influence matter”.

  I just thought the stuff about muscle contractions in your shoulders/neck sounded concerning and unusual. I’ve never heard anyone mention something like that before.

  Not really

  Sounds like quite a serious reaction. Have you seen a doctor about it?

  Making you not sleep isn’t really the same as giving you energy, and since most people take it in the morning anyway it doesn’t really matter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has anxiety⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Caffeine is lowkey the most normalised and profitable drug addiction in the world, and it doesn’t really even do anything. The whole ‘giving you energy’ thing is a myth, all it does it make you tired without it. That’s why caffeine legally has to be listed as a ‘flavouring’ on the packaging, despite nobody on earth having a clue what it’s supposed to taste like

  Frankly, I don’t trust the intelligence of people who don’t have an internal monologue. If you don’t think in words, you can’t be thinking of anything very complicated
