Yes and no. As my physics professor used to say, all models are wrong, our goal is to make the least wrong model. It's literally impossible to simulate every event. For example, what if there was an anthill under the area where the rock is dropped? Maybe that will affect the resulting sound? Maybe, but it's not going to make a difference to the observer.

We know enough physics to simulate a huge number of simultaneous events, but at some point a model becomes far too complicated (e.g. taking a week to run on a powerful computer), when a more simplified model will do the trick just fine. I personally compare it to FLAC and MP3--FLAC is of course best quality, but will eat up a ton of storage space, and MP3 (with compression) is good enough

I thought he was de-listing January 1st?

Delisting if the fees were not changed--they were. While new devs should probably steer clear of Unity, a game where development is 95% done should be released

Savages ... and legends

My prescription eyeglasses have a blue light filter built in, and I still use night shift at night--whether it makes any difference to sleep is up for debate, but overall it's just more comfortable to use I think!

Very true--the specific EOS repo has given me a bit of trouble in the past, but it takes like 3 commands to remove it and then you've got just arch (although some purests may disagree 🤣)

I disagree--a system (even Arch!) should be able to update after a couple months and not break! I recently booted an EndeavourOS image after 6 months and was able to update it properly, although I needed to completely rebuild the keyring first

Good writeup, but I don't see the Fediverse as a single entity--if a single instance gets to 51%, and even 25% of the other instances fork and continue federating among themselves, then those 25% would function just as well, and likely maintain users with shared interests (i.e. how Lemmy is still interesting despite being much smaller than Reddit)

If Beehaw defederates, I will no longer think or care about Beehaw, since at the end of the day, the power of federation is by far the coolest thing in the fediverse; I am not interested in joining another Reddit clone! No hard feelings though, do what you think is right!

I'm using the Surface Laptop Studio with EndeavourOS (basically arch, so I have all the latest packages)--the performance issues stem from Nvidia's drivers, so AMD should not suffer from the same problems, although I don't have any AMD cards to test if hotplug with monitors is functional

I have extensively used an eGPU (Razer Core X) with an Nvidia RTX 3050 for gaming under Wayland. Using X11 gave me nothing but problems, but Wayland allows for full hotplug capabilities (as long as no monitors are ever connected to the GPU).

Of course, performance is fairly bad with the official Nvidia drivers + Wayland, but it's good enough to play The Outer Worlds and a few other single player games, which is good enough for me! I have been entirely unable to get external monitors to work with the Nvidia driver (any help would be much appreciated), although they did work (coldplug) with the Nouveau driver.

When I was using Windows, I was able to hotplug/unplug the eGPU with monitors attached, effectively turning the GPU into an external docking station--I am closely following driver improvements, as this would be great to have on Linux to get around the 2-monitor limitation of the Intel iGPU.
