There is absolutely a point to shaming and boycotting everyone who acts negatively in public. Of course beeing a secret scumbag is also bad but it doesn't promote scumbaggery to other. A quiet ass does less damage than a loud one.

There is no probability. No rolling dice. It is every combination of everything. I know Hilberts infinite hotel, I know (enough about) probability and statistics.

I am talking about the multiverse that many people imagine. The one where you can say "there is a universe in which I am president. And one where Lincoln is a velociraptor, and a universe where chairs sit on people instead of the other way round". In that multiverse, I can construct a universe without triangles that is identical to another universe with triangles in every regard except for the existence of triangles. And I can do that for every universe with triangles. Its a bijection.

We dont permute a (in)finite set of initial parameters and then evolve the universe from there, we have a universe for every CURRENT state.

In the hypothetical reality where such a multiverse exists (it would be a case of Russells paradox as OP has discovered), there is a 50% chance to be in a universe where it doesn't.

Standards are used to increase interoperability between systems. The more different standards a single system needs the harder it is to interface with other systems. If you have to define a list of 50 standard you use, chances are the other system uses a different standard for at least one of them. Much easier if you rely on only a handful instead

I think it is reasonable to say: "for all representation of times (points in time, intervals and sets of points or intervals etc) we follow the same standard".

The alternative would be using one standard for points in time, another for intervals, another for time differences, another for changes to a timezone, another for ...

I know. But I case of the multiverse that many people think about, the one where there is a universe for EVERYTHING, there will be exactly as many universes where triangles exist as there are universes where triangles dont exist. And the same is true for everything else.

And it is exactly the same number, not just the same type of infinity. Because for every universe with triangles there must also exist the exact same universe without triangles (and vice versa), otherwise the multiverse wouldn't contain all possible universes.

If there are infinite universes, covering all permutations of all properties (i asume thats what they mean by omniverse), then there will be exactly as many universes with a certain property then there are without it. So it is actually 50/50.

In the "multiverse of all possibilities" there will be 50% without a multiverse

Exactly. Germany also has free Universities but there are mandatory charges you have to pay in order to study. Its just not a university fee but a fee for a mandatory university service (still mutch lower than other countries with university fees).

Blender is widely used in many industries. digital images, movies, TV series, games, marketing material, and many more.

There are most definitely studios (indie and corporate) doing cool stuff in blender

Smartphone cameras are (bad and) very limited. Their sensor is very small and their lenses have to be flat, very small in diameter and cant have moving parts (maybe the aperture moves not sure). All this means they capture very little light on a ultra dense sensor (dense sensors have bleed where one pixel is influenced by the interference of the photons hitting the pixel next to it).

So they cheat. Wherever they can. They often take multiple pictures at the same time using multiple cameras and overlay them digitally (black/white and color). And of course they need different cameras with different lenses because they can't have a zoom (moving parts). They also heavily edit the pictures without ever telling the user.

Often a smartfone image will look better than an unedited image taken by a 5000$+ camera. At least until you zoom in and look at the colors

Why do i want a copy of something I am only going to watch once? And why should I keep a copy if I can just stream it again from the same or some different site for free in the future?

Streaming is just more practical. Doesn't matter if its legal or piracy

Edit to clarify: I am not saying this opinion is good, it is an example of how many people think and the reason why pirate streaming sites exist

What are egg wets? Tried to look it up but can't find anything that would fit this meme

Congrats you managed to skip over the first and second sentence in my 2 sentence comment.

A VPN is not like a physical product. YOU ARE BUYING TRUST. You shift the point of trust from your ISP, network provider, government etc to the VPN provider. You say "I trust this company more than I trust these other players, so I use their VPN which hides my traffic from these other players but puts the VPN provider in a position where they can see all my network traffic".

I have a few spare routers accumulated from moving houses, upgrading, home mates leaving theirs when they move etc.

So I was wondering what to do with these instead of throwing them out. Does anybody have experience with using a router as for example a media server, pihole , fan controller for the server shelf ...

What OS would be compatible or are routers just to limited in their computational power?

For reference, i have: Speedport smart 4 plus, Fritz!Box 3270, Fritz!Box 7530, EasyBox 804
