Real is the stuff outside of your phone.

Why is “ios” the only one not in all-caps?

iOS begins with a lower-case ‘i’, making this error more frequent.

Why does the apple hq list their mobile system while the other two list their desktop/workstation/server systems?

Apple’s most iconic product is the iPhone, but the meme compares software. So the ‘Apple’-item then becomes iOS.

Why does each get a different proportion of the screen/why aren’t they equally sized/why are they not stacked vertically?

The rule of three applies to jokes and typically dictates that the punchline is third and given extra emphasis. The layout reflects that tradition.

Why is this man not using dark mode, and how is the obvious and glaring light bleed at the bottom-left of his monitor just get accepted?

From what I’ve seen, Linus Thorvalds uses default work environments and doesn’t care much about hardware beyond functionality.

Anyone who’s given it a good run and want to share?

First of all, his ‘authority’ (expertise) was specifically being called into question.

Second, appealing to authority isn’t fallacious when the authority is genuine and relevant.

It is not fallacious to reason that a math champion is likely better than the average person at math, or that a psychologist is likely better than the average person at understanding the psyche.

And it is not fallacious to argue that a former minister of trade ‘knows what they are talking about’ when they are talking about tariffs.

It doesn’t automatically prove them right, either. But again, that does not make the argument itself fallacious.

I’ve been thinking our ‘oiliness’ might be one of our most striking characteristics. If I wipe a finger over any smooth surface, I leave residue. Our exteriors are incredibly greasy compared to most technology.

I had amdgpu complete freezes for the longest time. Logs said it was ‘lost from bus’. Turned out it only happened while running Libre Office. Never found a fix/workaround, so I basically don’t do work in Linux on my amd machine.

So basically, it’s like, consciousness just declares … any time … now, so that’s why it’s like, always now you know?

Note that my (implied) emphasis is on experience. If the experience is what is important, convenience isn’t actually what creates desire paths. Instead it’s the experience of making a personal choice to increase efficiency, of joining a club of renegades who brave the path less traveled, etc… So maybe allowing for that experience in the managed environment is another way of limiting desire paths.

I wonder if the experience of ‘shortcut’ is part of the motivation, so that as soon as you’ve established a path, what constitutes ‘shortcut’ also changes. I’d be interested to know if curved paths were more desire path-resistant, because they appeal to an intuition about adjusting (and therefore optimizing) course.

If you ever talk to someone confused by this, maybe ask them to lightly push the front magnet in the direction it’s trying to go.

The inner monologue is thinking by ‘hearing’ your own voice ‘speaking’ in your mind. It’s the mental equivalent of literally talking to yourself.

Do people have a non metaphorical inner monologue where they physically hear thoughts?

Yes, in the sense that they hear themselves ‘voicing’ out their own thoughts. If you have the ability to form images in your mind, it’s like that, but with sound.

I don’t know if there is any, but I just came across this talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfWjhEWyblo&t=15868s

This language is a bit concerning

They won me over since Sunshine on Fedora was a hassle to install and gave me corrupted graphics. Wouldn’t be surprised if Fedora’s codec-hell had something to do with it. On Bazzite everything I needed was preinstalled and worked out of the box.

I could be an ant.

Additional meta-analysis confirmed that left-handers are overrepresented among artists and musicians – but not architects, as is often claimed. Expanding their investigation beyond those fields, the team re-analyzed data from a large study drawing upon U.S. government surveys with information on occupations and handedness. The data included nearly 12,000 individuals in more than 770 professions, which were ranked by the creativity each required. By this measure combining “originality” and “inductive reasoning,” physicists and mathematicians ranked alongside fine artists as the most creative jobs. When considering the full range of professions, the researchers found, left-handers were underrepresented in those that required the most creativity.
