even Hitler banned it

That’s kinda interesting.
What reasoning did that govt. have?

You can also mix diced onions with corn kernels, and spray some lemon an black pepper on top and it would be good to eat.
Although I find raw onion to be too strong to eat in such proportions, a few fistfuls should be fine.

I am assuming you are from the Apple/Android ecosystem.

A “distro” is short for “distribution”.

Same as iOS on iPad and Android on other tablets have an App Store, Linux distributions have an App Store like thingy. It is called a repository (different name, similar job).

The difference between an App Store and a Repository is that while app stores will only have Application Software (i.e. the stuff that you directly use), a repository will have everything that makes up the Operating System. So, System Software and Application Software.
How it affects you? Well when you do a system update, all apps including Linux and every base component can updated at the same time. This makes sure that everything works with each other, properly. The problem with this is that it gives you the power to install something that doesn’t work well with other things and if you don’t read the prompts before pressing “Yes” or typing “Y”, then you might cause some headache.

Now, the repository lies on the servers of those who build the software from their source code and provide binaries to you.
To access that, you have a program on you computer called a package manager.
If you find it hard to use a terminal, I suggest going with something like Ubuntu or Linux Mint and using the GUI (Graphical User Interface) package manager, which might be named something different you can easily get used to. The experience will be kinda similar to using the app store apps on tablets/mobiles except that it won’t go around giving you cash-grab notifications.
You can use the GUI package managers to install and update software as and when required.

Different Linux Distributions (distros) are geared towards different kinds of people and some of them don’t even come with a GUI from the start, for which you get to decide exactly what GUI software you want to install. This is better off left for when you have gotten privy with whatever default is available on the beginner-friendly distros and have the time to research all the available options and match them with your preferences.
The reason it is hard to find anyone to do this for you, is because you yourself are the best judge of what you like.

I was trying to be funny, but the 2 are related as in they are opposite cases of the same underlying phenomenon.

The sticker itself is red, so the joke is saying you must be travelling at some fraction of the speed of light to see the sticker as red and if you were going slower it would appear blue.

I’m not sure if you actually understand it and just did a brainfart while typing, or actually don’t understand it well, so I’ll just explain…

• In both cases (redshift and blueshift), you need to be going fast enough relative to the sticker for either of them to happen in any noticeable way. Although it still happens even if you are going only 1 cm/s
• The sticker is red and you will see it being red if you are not moving relative to the sticker. i.e. if the car is parked and you are just standing behind it, it will be red (don’t take my word for it. Go stand in front of a red thing and look at it to find out that you see red colour)
• If you are going away from the sticker, you will observe a redshift. And since the sticker is red (let’s assume for simplicity that it is the reddest of red (whatever that would mean)) the redshift will make it go infrared and hence you won’t be able to see it with human vision.
• If you are going towards the sticker, you will observe a blue shift and you can use the crude, but useful VIBGYOR to deduce that if you are not fast enough to see Blue, you can expect to see either of Orange, Yellow, Green.
• This effect is similar to the phenomenon that occurs to sound. i.e. when a car comes towards you with the horn continuously blowing, you will hear a higher pitch and when the car with the horn blowing is going away from you, you hear a lower pitched horn sound. The reason this is more easily observable with sound, is because sound in air is slow enough for us to notice this.

Bonus: I was playing the game X4: Foundations and realised that they actually have simulated this effect in the in-game sounds, which was an impressive little detail and I loved it.

I think they are trying to crack a joke.

Considering that the escape velocity on Earth’s surface is ~11200m/s and railgun speeds tend to be around 5000m/s^[1] (i.e. less than half) and also that the escape velocity would be considering a normal direction whereas railgun usage tends to be more tangential (from the surface of the Earth), I wouldn’t be expecting any casual leave-the-atmosphere scenarios.

As far as guided systems go, last I checked there wasn’t enough leeway to add any electronic or mechanical elements in the projectiles.

No, it has to do with blueshift.

It can actually (theoretically) shoot real far away.
As in, when the target area is far enough that the projectile would have slowed down due to drag, long ago and start dropping more than it is going forward.
The problem here, would lie in the stabilisation of the bullet and making sure it actually hits the target instead of a few km away, because faster bullets apparently have a greater difficulty staying on track.

It’s not a privacy problem.
It is a stalking problem.

We’re using the wrong words.

If we end up getting privacy in public, the police will then use it to stop people from filming them in public. That is the long-term goal of setting this in motion.

Might as well use it to track ICE

I’m pretty sure that the “non entitled to privacy” part was not about getting organisationally stalked, but that if someone were to randomly take a picture outside and post it somewhere, then you don’t get to make them take down photos.
Also, if you are creating a scene in public, other get to film you as they get to see you.

This is not a problem about privacy in public. This is a problem of:

• organisational stalking
• misrepresentation of actions
• shirking accountability and responsibility

Are you lost?
You want to be going to either a memes channel or an AI Slop posting channel.

Also, you always have the option to Block a Community yourself, so you don’t need to wait for others banning you.

And “commies” don’t get to sue?

The important part of taste is to tell if food is good.

Similarly for smell.
Thanks to capitalistic food engineering, that doesn’t work very well.

I have a few kilograms of sugar right now and I use it when I feel like.
Sugar maybe a sweetener, but not all sweeteners are sugar. Also, I don’t shy away from eating it when I feel like it.

Still a part of nutrition though, no?

I’ll also take this opportunity to point out that taking just fibre is not particularly useful either.
It only really makes sense when in conjunction with other substances in forms that come with traditional foods.

… reading comprehension of a 12yo

I’m going to disagree on the mod’s comment over here.
I am yet to see a 12yo with such a bad reading comprehension and I was pretty stupid back when I was 12.

Problem with humans is that due to the pesky human rights laws, it becomes exceedingly difficult to fully control their food intake and normalise any other variables that may cause similar effects.

But as long as those laws don’t prevent us from normalising the usage of our products in the society, that’s all well. Even better, if someone does such a study on humans, we can simply state “other variables” to invalidate those studies and it shouldn’t affect our revenue streams too much.

I always tend to avoid stuff with the “Diet” or “sugar free” labels, just for this reason.
And it didn’t require a study to convince me that random stuff that is not a part of nutrition, is better off being out of a regular diet.
But it definitely takes a study to validate my concerns.
