It might be empty because your instance doesn’t get posts by that account, iirc it starts when someone follows the other account. In other words, if no one on your home instance is already following them, your instance doesn’t have their old posts. I might be wrong though.
Quadlets seem pretty nice! I wish there were more tutorials and howtos involving them.
Why is the time arrow squiggly?
This battle, yes. The wind was in the right direction so the blizzard was actually an advantage. But then, later, they decided to invade Russia in the fall, and found out that it’s quite cold and difficult.
Surely they will learn from their mistakes and want to be in control of their own data, instead of just switching to another centralized platform they have no control over?
Since the start of the war against Iran, I started taking the bus instead of driving to work. Now and then, someone will step off the bus in a way that makes me observe a certain post-impact soft tissue oscillation. It’s definitely an observation, but it could maybe count as measuring, in which case it would change the outcome?
I agree with that. In my ideal world, the person who said “evolution is just a theory” would hear the scientist explain the difference and think “Ah, using the word ‘theory’ like I have before is maybe not wrong in some contexts, but it’s causing confusion and in that sense it weakens our language. I will therefore be careful and use another word instead, perhaps ‘speculation’, to sharpen our shared language into a more precise tool for understanding each other. Since words mean what we all agree they mean, they are infinitely malleable and beautifully fragile, but we all have the opportunity, and duty, to influence the direction as we head into the future.”
I will philosophize, phallosophile, and fallacify as much as I want thank you. Memes are important. (I’m of course using the strict Dawkins definition here.)
You’ve obviously given this some thought. I’m curious what you think of an example. Think about this sentence: “The theory of gravity can help explain things.” And then this one: “Evolution is just a theory.” Is there a difference in what the word “theory” means?
All the more reason to really reflect on how we use words. When there’s confusion and misunderstanding, should we just accept it because that’s how it is, or should we consciously decide if we are helping or hurting communication through the words we choose to use?
What constitutes “measuring” here? Is it in the wider sense of any quantification of an observation, or are there conditions?
Exactly. If it happened once, it’s now a thing that can happen. People still talk about guillotines, and even if nobody is planning on making or using one it’s a reminder of possibilities.
As an internationally ignored rapper, I only rap in my car (and I lower the volume when stopping at an intersection because someone might hear me).
What generic content do you think is missing most?
Oh I understand Ohm’s law, I just throught the picture was yellow fisting green while the resistor (2.1 kΩ?) held her in place.
Oh… She’s pushing her. It makes more sense now.
How can we bridge this gap? At least to the point where users can give constructive feedback like “I wanted to do this thing, and searched for a way here and here. It took me hours to figure out how to do it. It would have been intuitive if…” Maybe we will have to be proactive about UX issues and have proper channels for this information?
We don’t know who it was, but their posts stopped the day Robert Mueller died. Coincidence? Probably yes.
That kerning though.
To sit in the hard gray rock and listen to silence, to have no yesterday and no tomorrow, to forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
