it turns out sharing audio devices through LAN with pipewire-pulse is really fucking easy but every single tutorial on how to do it sucks?? i spent hours on something that can be done in 5 minutes

lil guide in case anyone wants to do this:

on all devices:

open udp port 5353

install avahi and enable avahi-daemon

on the device receiving audio:

run:

pactl load-module module-native-protocol-tcp listen=<your local ip address> auth-anonymous=true

pactl load-module module-zeroconf-publish

on the devices sending audio:

run:

pactl load-module module-zeroconf-discover

now the audio output devices from one device will be available on the other devices and you can select them as output with whatever you want. you do need to the pactl commands every time you wanna set it up tho, and the receiving device must be set up first. i just set up some scripts to do it faster

Imagine a world where creationism was unanimously central both to the ruling class's conception of self and to the logic that justifies their power. Darwin's work still exists, attempts to suppress it outright would only drive interest; curious and rigorous scholars who've sought out his work can testify to its quality and relevance, and often teach natural selection in their courses. Still, there remains an understanding that Darwin is not what the people with money and power want to hear, and so when proposing research grants or attempting to climb the academic ladder, Darwin is typically ignored in favor of alternative theoretical frameworks which, while less useful, are far more likely to receive funding.

This creates a cycle where, because Darwinism has been ignored in all of the most influential and groundbreaking research, it becomes inessential. Scholars can receive their PhDs without ever having read a single work on natural selection. Despite its utility as a theory, intuition and an implicit trust in the social reality created by and within these institions creates the sense that Darwinism is, to put it bluntly "crank shit," the sort of thing you study to amuse your own curiosity and stroke your ego rather than actually trying to change the world.

Of course, none of this changes the fact that Darwin was correct, that evolution by natural selection is the primary mechanism by which species develop and change over time. However, since using Darwinist theory (or any alternative routes taken to similar models and conclusions) as anything but a garnish will get you labeled as a crank, the entire discipline of biology becomes warped around its absence. Entire fields form to cobble together makeshift solutions to the gaps Darwinism fills, further cementing it's irrelevance. Thousands of scholars devote their lives to fleshing out the forest of asterisks and duct tape holding on a vastly overstretched lamarckian and at times implictly creationist framework.

From the outside, the discipline begins looking absurd. Clearly driven by internal politics, sprawling in a million directions without any consistent underlying theory, shy on results. Despite billions pouring in year after year trying to answer some of the most fundamental questions about humanity, history, health, all lines of inquiry seem to eventually terminate in a shrug of "life is complex, how could we hope to understand everything about it?"

Okay now switch Darwin with Marx. This is the state of contemporary western social science.

I really love the youtube channel Sebastian Lague. Every time i watch a new video i get the urge to build a similar projekt. But i don't have the time. I need to spend my precious time on uni, work and non computer hobbies. I feel like Tantalus.

busses are better than trains. clearly there's a lower floor but you can just invest in them (for way less than investing in dedicated train lines) to make them good and fast

A circle inscribed in a square covers 79% of the square.

A ball inscribed in a cube fills 52% of the cube.

A 4-ball inscribed in a hypercube fills 31% of the hypercube.

A 5-ball inscribed in a 5-cube fills 16% of the 5-cube.

⋮

A 9-ball inscribed in a 9-cube fills it up less than 1% of the way, yet there’s no room to fit a second ball of the same size without intersecting the first.

⋮

In dimensions 23 and up, you can fit a little cube in the corner of the diagram, such that the cube has a larger volume than the ball!

That's especially disconcerting because the 23-cube has 8,388,608 corners. Even if you inscribe the little red cubes in all eight million corners, your big cube will still be 99.5% empty space.

tuxpaint

it is shitty like microsoft paint but nonfunctional like microsoft windows (doesn't seem to even fully support x11? idk all the widgets are fucked and it looks like it wants to draw straight to /dev/fb0)

The worst part about Linux is that I don't have MS Paint. Gimp is too good. Does anyone know of a really, really shitty painting program for linux?
