    y=log_a(x) <=> x=pow(a,y) where “a” is unknown. Let’s say the values of the progress bars in the image are in ]0,b]. That puts the cheetah on about b/5. It is know that cheetahs run at a maximum speed of 75mph. This gives us b/5=log_a(75) <=> pow(a,b/5)=75 <=> a=pow(75,5/b) Therefore, we have the relationship x=pow(75,pow(5/b,y)).

    For the speed of light, y=((b×3)/5). It is known that the speed of light is 671000000mph. That gives us x=pow(75,pow(5/b,(b×3)/5))=671000000mph <=> pow(75,pow(5/b,b))=514285405839088. For the airplane, y=((b×2)/5). The fastest airplane flied at about 2200mph. That gives us x=pow(75,pow(5/b,(b×2)/5))=2200mph <=> pow(75,pow(5/b,b))=227016123.

    514285405839088 =/= 227016123 (contradiction).

    Cannot be a logarithmic scale.




  • It’s probably astroturfed by a few loud trannies (porn addicts) who haven’t seen the sun for a few months. If you check out the “code of conduct” of Lemmy and their criterias for delisting instances, you will understand why stuff like this survives and thrives. In an organic social media environment these people would’ve been called out x1000 harder for being obnoxious, making no sense, or being degenerates.

    That is all true. The way to fix this is by always being pro-active, it can mean:

    • Voting with our wallets. Show that you will always spend on the more privacy-respecting option, even if no perfect option exists.
    • Raising our voices, to family and friends. Elaborate why we need open tech.
    • Lobbying for open hardware and software initiatives. The goal is to make openness and freedom more profitable than closed tech.

    Pro-activeness is important. Assume that our generation was perfectly privacy-demanding, that this was truly a core value that everybody held. If the next generation became lax on this issue, and didn’t care as much, things would start to deteriorate. Totalitarianism would creep in. So the current generation are always the torchbearers of freedom, we have to do our part.

    I understand that this is a meme, but dismissing one of the best distro family because snaps are included is dumb. It is easy to uninstall snap entirely.

    The only serious bummer is that the Firefox deb-package is now fake and only installs the snap version of Firefox. Go get Librewolf, which is basically a hardened Firefox, and use their repository.

    It is fun to meme around when it is with people that are familiar with Linux. But some Windows/MacOS users who are interested in Linux might take you seriously. Ubuntu and Ubuntu-like distros are really good in terms of ease of use, support and compatibility. My first recommendation for a new Linux user is Ubuntu or variations thereof.
