  Next phone I get I’ll get fairphone and check the market for an alternative OS at that time. This might be the push that the Linux phone community needs to make it proper and good.

  We currently need a KDE phone that they sell where I can buy a KDE phone and support them that way.

  The pieces are coming together for Linux notably:

  • SPA support instead of apps.
  • Waydroid
  • Core components such as calling, sim card actions, recording, speakers can be provided by fairphone via drivers.

  I’m getting pretty sick of Google and other corpos locking down Android so fuck them, third best phone OS will have to do and I’ll do banking in the mobile browser page.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to guess the cup is around 12 nuts high and 5 nuts in diameter at the center.

  Let’s assume it’s a cylinder to get the volume (2/5)^2 * pi * 12 as the volume or around 236 nuts.

  The packing density of a sphere is 74% but the edges do play a factor so nudge it down by a bit to get 70%

  So I’m going to guess 165 nuts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Couple of nuances with this that are not fully accounted for.

  1. Farting in a vacuum will make the scale go down because the fart has a non-zero mass.
  2. Direction of fart and speed of exiting will also affect the scale when farting against a base not connected to the scale such as a platform.

  Excellent distro, would be careful about going to distros without systemd for desktop setup. Alpine is absolute banging for server containers.

  It’s tricky to use in programming though for non neural network math, I can see it used in video compression and decompression or some very specialised video game math.

  Video game AI could be a big one though where difficulty would be AI based instead of just stat modifiers.

  There has been no change in the way microwaves work aside from circuit board and adding an inverter to control the power of the microwaves. Microwaves function the same as a laser pointer except the emit photons with a frequency of 2.45GHz.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Listen here, Little Dicky⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing is that it’s legit a fraction and d/dx actually explains what’s going on under the hood. People interact with it as an operator because it’s mostly looking up common derivatives and using the properties.

  Take for example ∫f(x) dx to mean "the sum (∫) of supersmall sections of x (dx) multiplied by the value of x at that point ( f(x) ). This is why there’s dx at the end of all integrals.

  The same way you can say that the slope at x is tiny f(x) divided by tiny x or d*f(x) / dx or more traditionally (d/dx) * f(x).
