When I wear my glasses I'm not actually looking directly at my surroundings. I'm looking at projections on the two screens in front of my eyes.

    Since the light actually passes through the glasses and just gets refracted, there's no screen in front of your eyes. It's like looking through water, a window or anything else translucent/transparent.

    What is your favourite animal?
  • illectrility illectrility 1mo ago 100%

    Tungsten. It's just so cool that it's so dense and has such a high melting point. It's also really hard and tough.

    Edit: also dragonflies are pretty badass

  • What is one thing you love & hate about ObsidianMD?
  • illectrility illectrility 2mo ago 100%

    I love how quickly I can get things done using keybindings (I use Vim in Obsidian) and how I can link everything together to really form a second brain with lots and lots of stuff all linked together nicely. I also love Obsidian Sync, I think it's worth it.

    I hate the unreasonably long startup time. It's even worse on mobile as every time you open the app, it fully restarts, taking 10+ seconds. I've been trying to leave it open in the background but it's muscle memory to close all apps immediately.

    I also don't like the lack of a good CAS plugin. I currently use mathpad which gets the job done but I often find myself tinkering with my input because mathpad sometimes just refuses to work properly. Maybe it approximates too much or sth but often times it just doesn't calculate accurately, doesn't solve equations properly, etc.

    The Best way to switch to Linux is to NOT
  • illectrility illectrility 2mo ago 76%

    I would say: "Don't switch to Linux. Just start with Linux and never use Windows or Mac in the first place"

    Don't have to get used to something if you've never used something else.

    It means that 91.9% are smarter than him and he is smarter than 8.1%. So the vast majority of people have a higher IQ than he does.

    When they have some of the same interests as you, but for different reasons. It provides for excellent conversation when you can talk about something you're both passionate about, but because you're passionate for different reasons, you have different perspectives, and it keeps a topic you're very familiar with very interesting.

  • Why is Lemmy so absurdly woke?
  • illectrility illectrility 3mo ago 75%

    Woke has got to be one of the most meaningless words out there. So many things are labeled as being "woke". From left-wing to right-wing, from progressive to conservative, it's genuinely insane.

    Can you please define what you mean by "woke"? (Funnily enough, most people that regularly use the word "woke" can't even properly explain what it means)

    (Not directly answering your question but) if it works like a VPN service then yeah. However, P2P connections might not be routed through TOR in that case. Be careful about that

    So science teachers also shouldn't teach science because they're not scientists?

    That's not what "qualified" means.

    People don't need to meet the definition of being a scientist in order for them to be educating others on scientific topics.

    Found this pamphlet in my mailbox this morning. I pretty much agree with it and I think I'll keep it for the next time Jehovah's Witnesses decide to show up way too early in the morning. Edit: I linked the digital mirror that was printed on the back of the pamphlet. Also, it's CC0 which I think is cool

    So, recently I was talking to a friend and somehow we got to talking about religion and stuff. When I complained that religion is often put on a huge pedestal and that it's really just a glorified opinion and should be subject to the same criticism as any other opinion, they told me that that was a really hot take. According to them, belief and religion is more than just an opinion since it's such a big part of people's lives. I countered that opinions are also big parts of people's lives and personalities. I mean, a huge chunk of your personality is based on your opinions, right? We agreed to disagree but I kept thinking about it. I don't get why religion shouldn't just be treated like any other opinion just because people tend to cling to it. I get that ~~it~~ people are emotionally invested but that's not just the case with religion but other opinions too. I would appreciate your thoughts to help me understand better, is it really a hot take?

    I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask this, I also asked over at [!python@programming.dev](https://programming.dev/c/python). So what I want to do is this: Two RasPis are at different locations. They're on different networks but have internet access. Pressing a button on one of the Pis turns on an LED over at the other Pi via GPIO. How can I make the communication work? My first thought was Telegram bots as I'm familiar with those for notifications but you can't have Telegram bots communicate with each other, sadly. Is there a good (and secure) solution to this? Preferably using Python code and without continuous costs like server hosting, etc? Thanks!
