  • Not the person you replied to, but I do use Linux (arch btw).

    Linux is a free (as in freedom) and open source software that basically powers the internet.

    A vast majority of servers on the internet are running Linux. It’s powerfully but that’s a double edge sword. It’s easy to cut yourself too if your unfamiliar with the edges.

    Because it’s completely open source, there are endless customizations and optimizations you can make. The art is knowing what, how, and where. But that’s true of windows and macos.

    It’s vertically less creepy with AI and logging garbage compared to apple and Microsoft.

    It’s popular with nerds because it’s free and customizable. IMO that can come at a cost of user-friendly experiences. But it’s all about learning the edges. The other two have plenty, most are just used to it.

    I see the common mistake of associating the left with authoritarianism.

    China and such are not left. They’re even further right to the point of fascism labeled communism.

    Remebere communism/socialism is about the workers relation to the means of production. Chinese people do not own the factories they work on, so I’m not sure you can call them left.



  • You are correct that the raisins would have other constraints to keep it from infitatly expanding into nothing. Not because it’s not expanding but because it has external constraints like gravity keeping it there.

    They do have expansion applied to them, but gravity and other things effecting space time would be keeping it on place.

    As for attoms, I think you picture something solid. But there’s not. The electrons are getting further from the nucleas, but it’s still bound quantum mechanically to the attoms regardless of its position.

    But then the nucleas isn’t soldi either. It’s made of smaller things yet, and so on and so forth. So inside would also be expanding. But again other forces at play would bind things together.

    The expansion is also not a force. It can’t overcome other forces so it keeps things in line.

    So it does happen on a small local scale though. It happens on ALL scales.

    But everything is expanding from everything. Meaning the observer is always centred of the expansion. This is because volume is constant. The rasins themselves do expand, but locally it’s such a small scale (10^-23 m/s for our solar system).

    This also works for how we understand the change in density. Volume is constant, but we’ve gone from infinitely dense to almost nothing.
