Science deals with the natural, gods are by definition supernatural.

Science can not either prove or disprove existence of supernatural. It may only erode the reasoning why supernatural should exist.

That reasoning is subjective, and as such, there are no definite answers to your question unless we add additional constraints.

Sweeney has had a chip on his shoulder with Linux for at least 15 years. It's honestly a bit weird since if you look at stuff before around 2005, he had quite a different tone.

No

Slapping "quantum" in front of something does not make it magic.

I have yet to meet a single pro-Russian leftist in my country. Or a tankie. Sure, shit like lemmygrad, r/communism, etc. exists, but you have to go digging pretty deep to find those people.

Most leftists I know, even those who identify as socialists are pretty much in the "yeah, fuck Russia" camp. To the point that they openly advocate financing Ukraine.

This video is blatant propaganda piece, and not even truthful at what it tries to be.

That is not the definition that natural sciences use for natural. Going down that rabbit hole is completely meaningless, since we are no longer talking about science at that point.

In addition, if using your definition, nothing is natural according to our current understanding.

Go on then: what definition do they use?

Natural means pretty much "element of the physical universe, identified by observation".

You're claiming in another comment to this thread that you have M.Sc., you should be aware of this, please stop wasting everyone's time.

Slapping “quantum” in front of something generally makes it involve indeterminism (excepting the many-worlds interpretation)

Indeterminism is by no means non-natural, and it does not make things any less observable. We can observe quantum states just fine.

And as for

Yeah all the Bell stuff

"All the Bell stuff" doesn't have anything to do with "Didn’t some quantum nondeterminism prove the existence of effects without a natural cause?"

And no, it didn't. AFAIK there are exactly zero physicists who argue that.

You made a ludicrous claim, and are unable or unwilling to back it up even a bit, yet somehow you feel continuing this without anything to show is a good use of anyone's time. If you are not going to make an actual argument, I do not see value in continuing this conversation, as all it does is make this thread more difficult to read for others who most likely are not very interested watching yet another internet argument sidethread.

Yeah, agreed. There is an issue/feature request on Lemmy's github for that so it's probably going to receive some attention in the coming weeks.

That has very little to do with anything related to the arguments you've made before, and I am not interested in participating in a Gish Gallop.

Finland. Living next to Russian border might bring some reality checks here.

And yea, I can imagine you could dig some nutjob podcaster here too, but can't imagine finding those people walking around IRL.

But the thing I'm most against is "western left", which is the point where I call out the BS. Vice seat of our right-wing party literally went to a Putin propaganda camp in Russia in around 2015 (by his own admission, no less), yet it is somehow "western left" that gets the blame for few tankies who are nowhere to be found.

And indeterminism says that those natural things are not sufficient explanations of experimental results.

According to who, exactly? This is just not even remotely true.

If you want to continue this, link me the papers that have any support to what you are proposing, I'm tired of fighting vague, unsubstantiated claims and you dodging every point I try to make.

If they were, it has nothing to do with nature being supernatural. It just means that nature's state is not locally real. That does not tie into religion in any objective way.

In addition, both of those articles are (slightly) wrong. There was a lenghty discussion about how in r/physics when they came out. The tl;dr is that it boils down to:

• locality
• realism
• independence of measurement

Pick two.

But that has no relevance to religion other than you can make either philosophical or religious argument out of anything.

It's highly unlikely 2FA is enough to mitigate this kind of an attack. It's a security vulnerability in lemmy itself, and they are stealing your access token instead of trying to log in as you.

edit: People, please, no reason to downvote admin ACKs. Just means they've at least read the message, after that, it's their instance and they'll do as they see fit.

On the issue with bots: Lemmy is more resistant to bot spam than reddit is, because of the federation.

If an instance becomes bot-ridden, it is likely to get defederated so the damage is mitigated and mostly localised to that single instance. Sure, if you were an user of that instance it will probably suck for you, but the larger community remains mostly unaffected.

From my own experience:

1. Start using open source stuff.
2. Get annoyed by lack of a feature / a bug / something
3. Fix it, without ever intending to upstream the changes
4. Notice somebody has made an issue about a thing you already fixed
5. Send the patches to upstream.
6. Repeat ad infinitum.

That's pretty much how I've ended up contributing to a plethora of different stuff.

Well I have separate computer for music production which I don't think has any FOSS software on it, so everything that has to do with that.

Oversimplification ahead.

Oauth is a solution when single provider offers many services.

Lemmy is a single service offered by many providers.

While you can work around some of that, that is still the essence of the "problem".

RPi uses a lot of software hacks to get its low-cost hardware running. It is certainly doable on other distros, but using anything but the official ones on RPi is asking for trouble, and you better know how to deal with device trees, etc.

If you want SBC that is more standard-compliant and has better mainline driver support you should look at e.g. Pine64's SBCs, such as RockPro64.

And if the video didn't make sweeping generalisations this would be a fine point to tackle. But it's not saying "half of the german left", it is saying "the western left".

It's not OK to leave this kind of stuff as a side note in small print, that is one of the prime tactics propaganda in general uses.

There have been plenty of discoveries opposed by religion X. Those historically do not have significant impact on prevalence of such a religion.

I do think answers explaining why any answer to the original question suffers from logical fallacies are equally good to those that do try to get to the OP's intent, and I think it is good to have both. I do think the literal answers are more "straight" (and I tend to go to the literate mode when talking about science), so that's what I went up with.

I guess it would've been a bulletting board system that people used a 14k modem to connect to, one at a time, and it would completely block the phone line.

My parents weren't thrilled, but hey, we had a message board and LORD running there.

Yeah, if the video was less conflictory and was framed in a way that didn't scream polarisation to me, I wouldn't be as quick to dismiss it as a propaganda piece.

As a side note, I'm actually surprised that Germany has such divide within the left.

Vaultwarden and git are in daily use. Everything else comes far behind.

My simple uncontroversial claims

None of these is uncontroversial, C isn't even well-defined. I'd argue that B is correct only if A is correct. And A cannot be correct, since it leads to multitude of cotnradictions, one of which I'm going to demonstrate.

It appears from context to be the first: the claim that indeterminism means events are not explained by their causes. But that’s just the definition of indeterminism

No, it most definitely is not. If you used this as a definition, I'm fairly certain that most physicists would absolutely not agree with your B.

If you deny that indeterminism means things aren’t determined by observable causes, then what does it mean?

Indeterminism means that if an experiment is repeated with the same parameters, there are no guarantees to get the same result. Nothing more than that.

Your definition implies that there needs to be a cause in the first place. And that is bordering on begging the question, because with that definition you are guaranteed to reach a point where there is something "unexplainable" (since there are infinite amount of layers), which can always be attributed to whatever supernatural thing you choose. There is absolutely no need for this to be the case.

In fact, you yourself quoted the textbook

the outcome is intrinsically random.

Emphasis mine. That means, there is no cause, it's an intrinsic property of the theory, especially in Copenhagen interpretation, which is the status quo. As your definition implies a cause, it cannot apply here. There are other contradictions, but this one is simple and I only need one to show that the premise is flawed, and your other points rely on that.

you have not substantiated your claims with anything.

My only claim is that you are incorrect. There aren't really too many papers written about that. (I hope) I've shown your premise to be false because of faulty definitions, what more would you need? None of the stuff you quoted is supporting you, and in fact contradicts you, unless we specifically assume that other people use the definition you've given, which, again, is already shown to be erroneous.

You don't even need to go to the 90's. E.g. RSS feeds were pretty much killed by EEE in mid-2000s. XMPP is another more recent victim.

I guess that list could be helpful for some, but for me (and IMO, music production in general), it's woefully inadequate to the point of hilarity.

Pro audio has been a complete mess in Linux for ages, and it's not even close to where it should be in order to be generally usable. Every 7-8 years or so when my old music computer starts to die I try and check if it has made substantial improvement, but apart from Musescore actually being good, it is hard to find any tangible progress from 15 years ago. Pipewire gives me some hope, but it's far from production-ready in Pro audio world. And I'm not really going to get rid of all the VST stuff I've bought in the last 20 years (all of which still works out of the box on a new computer!)

In addition, making music is the one hobby I have to get me away from tinkering with computers. I am not interested if I could make my Linux setup equally good if I spent weeks tinkering on it, when it's literally easier for me to work for a week and buy a Macbook Air (or whatever crappy windows PC), where I get all of my old work ready for action in under a day, and I can trust that everything I do will just work, and work well at that. And it does it while allowing me to work remotely with other musicians since we can all use the same stuff.

I'm pretty sure I'll be in my grave before FOSS Pro Audio ever gets there, unfortunately.

Edit: Ironically, the one FOSS thing I would love to use in my audio stuff is Guitarix, which is then the thing that doesn't interop well with anything else. And I would love to have easy way to do all that I do on (Win/Mac Os) on Linux, but 20 years of disappointment is pretty hard to overcome at this point.

I have a VPS subscription, which I use as a reverse proxy. Most of my services are on a headless computer in my bedroom. The two are connected with wireguard. (I also connect some SBC's to the VPS to host some other services)

Works perfectly, haven't had any connection issue or downtime expect when I manually reboot or service the case.

Yeah, my mother is an evacuaee from Karelia (though she was a small kid back then), so definitely relatively fresh - at least for my generation.

I've seen some of that America bad so Russia good - line of thinking in Finnish Internet forums too. But from what I've gathered, in our left wing it's usually more "both suck", which was certainly visible in our NATO discussion, but even then most of the Left Alliance (our most leftist party that isn't a complete joke, we have communist party too, but they've never held seats in parliament) supported joining NATO. When it comes to financing Ukraine I'd say it's way more unanimous "yeah, fuck Russia with this one".

Of course, the commie party is pretty much "yea, surely Russia not that bad, we need peace" from what I've seen, but well, they hardly have enough people to be able to keep the party an official party (requires 5000 signatures every 2 elections with no seats).

Sorry. I'm not American and I don't know anything about that except what quick google search told me.

There’s a certain kind of reactionary-left personality that I think is more common in parts of the west that used to be colonial powers, where if you’re far enough along the political spectrum that the mainstream parties all look like different variations on corporatist-fascists, you’re particularly vulnerable to messaging from geopolitical enemies of your own country for the simple reason that they’re opposed to the political structure you’re also opposed to.

Makes a lot of sense to me.

Here in the US I’ve run into a few such people, and it’s also clear that Russia’s soft-power operations have made efforts to cultivate relationships with the American left wing (people like Jill Stein and others in the Green Party). It’s pretty obvious, though, that they’ve had less success than they have on the right. It takes a particular kind of useful idiot to think, as a anti-colonial socialist or communist, that an oligarchic and socially-repressive right-wing autocracy is actually in your political corner.

I have to admit I know very little about the US politics. I'm fairly certain Russia tries that here in Finland as well, but well, our communist party is pretty much dead (and good riddance). Aside from the usual far-right wackos, their best bet here is probably to try to affect the peace movement people. Though even most of those I've talked with, with some exceptions, know that aggressors in wars should not be rewarded in order to keep the peace.

I have to say that Russian soft-power ops are scary. A lot of people here think that they are just the few wackos who everybody laughs at, and then think that when a certain popular right-wing party repeats Russian talking points they are completely unaffected by all that.

Video demonstration

Bird species, most of the time. I look for a bird that seems to have some connection with the intended purpose of the box, then use that. e.g. my work computer's hostname is cormorant.

I am placing careful (nevermind that, this seems very nice) interest in this.

Few questions (since I'm on mobile, and it'll take me a while to get back to my computer to find out for myself):

• How does managing sieve work with this?

• Does it play along with rspamd?

• Is it tested on x64_64 only?

• Does it support PGP, can email be encrypted-at-rest using this?

• Is there a way to run this behind a reverse proxy that handles the certificates? I'm not too keen on dealing with two separate sets of those in separate places.

• Does this require LDAP?

If missing, are those on roadmap?

I'm glad people want to conribute. But everybody has ideas.

You have to realise that "contributing an idea" for developers without any of your own work sounds awfully lot like asking people to work for you for free. That is not going to make you popular in FOSS circles. Most FOSS projects are undermanned as-is and maintaining is a thankless task.

Like others have said, the best way would be to just start coding it yourself. People see you put work into something, they can get more excited about it. Advertising is fine, but unless you have something to show, it's unlikely to attract much attention.

There is a reason "a platform where regular people can suggest FOSS ideas to developers" doesn't really exist. We have our own ideas, which take more time than we have already. A platform such as that would likely be full of people throwing out ideas and close to zero developers willing to work on them.

I've tried all of them except Zrythm. In fact, REAPER is my DAW of choice. But while that works on Linux, a lot of the plugins I require do not (or well, I guess it depends on how people define "work"), and REAPER in itself is not FOSS.

I'd say the entire politics thing has been an issue of the past for a good while. I remember there was a time when just about every thread about lemmy anywhere would turn into a complete mental shitshow and that wasn't exactly enticing. But I followed the development for a good while before jumping in, and the communication got gradually much more professional (in a good sense). And I wish people would stop digging that up from years ago since it doesn't really matter.

I'm glad you two can work on this full-time and hopefully the platform gets adopted by enough people that it will stay lively. Cheers.
