yes as far as i can remember debian has always had this option.
I think it mattered more in the days of install cds, limited space on the disc and slow internet.
Maybe it also helps them prioritise maintenance of the repositories in line with user needs.
I’m just agreeing with mrfinnbean that science is to an individual what science is to society.
My point was individuals can do science without society, but they probably will still need a language/database before too long. Maybe I’m wrong about that in he small scale, but i’d think after several hundred experiments most people would struggle to keep track.
This zen meditation thing sounds very different - presumably there is no recording of the observations or conclusions?
Society will for sure be better at science than any individual, but the individual can still do it if they follow a scientific system of observation, hypothesis and test. Making the results and data accessible to others is a huge bonus, no doubt, shoulders of giants and that, but systematic documentation is intrinsically useful to the isolated scientist too even with no prospect of collaboration.
I don’t know about this zen malarkey. but if there’s no systematic study of reality, no observation , hypothesis, and testing cycle then i just don’t see the corollary with science.
The individual will need some way to record their observations to do science, some sort of a database. This probably involves something with characteristics of a language even if it’s just to communicate their observations accurately to themself in the future, or just organise their observations so that they’re amenable to analysis and testing new hypotheses.
I guess you could do some rudimentary science with non-language/non-abstract recording, like marking a single subjects height height on a wall, or putting sticks in the ground to mark sunrise and sunsets across the year or collecting stuffed animals. But eventually you’ll want to record more complex data and do more complex analysis, or get so many specimens that you’d need an abstraction like labels and a card index or something.
Isn’t monasticism being like a religious monk or something?
For sales , word of mouth. and consumer organisations doing “independent” testing. That’s sort of where the line gets blurry between a genuinely charitable independent consumer testing and review organisation, and a corrupt for-profit youtube “influencer”.
Consumers need to trust reviewers but that trust should always be tested and not unconditional.
Maybe regulated advertising, where they can be sued or fined for lying and misleading people. This should be covered under general fraud laws but probably so common you’d want a regulatory body that didn’t detract from law enforcement.
if you don’t institute battle royal, you’ll pretty soon end up with mad max.
Should maybe be the Toecutter in Oz.
I’m sure I can think of vertebrates that have things that make them “them” that don’t also apply to fish. For example do any fish have hips of any type? If not i can use “hip or not” to group vertebrates distinctly.
It’s similar to the process that lets me differentiate vertebrates from invertebrates in the first place. squishy worm, worm with teeth, worm with jaws, worm with backbone etc.
However good it is and however many certificates it has i personally agree with the dogshit classification. It won’t install on any of about 8 computers in my house, including one I bought from apple. Literally unusable to me for the last 10ish years. Windows would probably install on one or two of them I think, so I’ll give it a few hypothetical points for usability for that.
They need another column for the approximate population of twats.
yes as others have said. microcontroller with decent io and wifi, fairly easy to make web interfaces which is handy. A step up from arduino and i dont think it eats too much more power if the wifi is used sparingly.
I’ve got a wildlife infrared camera made off a pi zero. I reckon if i can switch that to esp32 the battery life might stretch quite a bit - or i can shrink the case to a smaller battery. raspberry pipico would probably do similar tbf, but i bought like 10 esp32 for cheap. but i’m not quite sure how well they handle the image processing triggering.
Recently i’ve been making these: https://github.com/gadec-uk/departures-board as gifts for people who i know that live in London who i sometimes stay with. extremely useful.
There’s loads of projects like this that people have done and you can just put them together for a few tens of quid and a few hours of time if you dont have to write the software.
I think esp32 is more commonly used. i think they’re pretty similar capabilities and both dirt cheap. I just see more projects with esp32.
That’s no moon, it’s a space station.
16gb raspberry pi was always weird, even 8gb. It’s more just a desktop pc or something at that level - the used pc market has usually been similar vfm when you factor in storage and peripherals.
The pizero2(W) is still very cheap for real raspberry pi stuff - where you just want an OS for some reason instead of esp32.
I too would create a burner account if i were to post pictures of radish-porn like that without nsfw tag.
in an omni-blind trial. Everyone is blindfolded including the donkey. Donkey is wearing protective synthetic skin except at the right spot. It’ll let you know.
totally , check out this one. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fvplwvjho7jw81.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=1daceedf488d025d41edc41f326aeac2cbfb578e41918c6a4fc609a23db9aa4a
fucking ridiculous, I can’t believe the council allows it.
