  • Plausible!

    I had a bachelor’s in physics a decade ago.

    But here’s how my memory describes how we discovered, or at least how we did it in my computational physics class.

    You have stars of known size, and there for light output as its directly proportional to size. You also have a known distance.

    You can then calculate how bright the star should be. But its wrong.

    Meaning there’s things in the way thats blocking light.

    So we call it dark matter because it hasn’t been directly observed and its clearly there. It could be our fundamentals are wrong, but that’s unlikely.

    It could very well follow gravitational fields, and then attracted to galaxies with large masses.

    But it could also be something in the vacuum. We just have no evidence to suggest either way.




  • I’ve been a professional developer for over a decade.

    Find something simple to solve a problem you actually have.

    Who cares if its been done better a thousand times. Thats not the point.

    The point is that the only way you get better is by doing it shittly first, and then learn from mistakes. After a while you make less.

    Black jack inna terminal is a good one, a to do app, or time tracker, or automated stop watch. Whatever.

    Even better if you find one that’s been done before. Do it yourself, then compare with what someone else did. What you like and dislike about how they did it, and keep learning.

    I don’t think it’s absurd that it happened.

    i think you underestimate the amount of CSAM that gets put on places like a random Lemmy instance. every admin that allows random people to post has to deal with this.

    also, the problem with Lemmy nsfw instance, is the admin has gone missing and there’s no one to fix it.

    so again, you just have wild accusations of them misshandeling of CSAM.

    edit: here’s where I’m at. (applying the little I know of US law) The crime here isn’t that CSAM got submitted so long as it was dealt with and reported. That’s not actually a crime. US law doesn’t hold hosting companies responsible for user submitted content. (section 32).

    What is a crime is doing nothing about it.

    so with that in mind, do you still accuse the moderators of a crime?

    we’re also talking about the admin gone missing here, not moderators.
