Broadly, what you said was “Power to her, but what’s proven is that our current mathematical models do not accurately represent the universe”. The “but” in that statement is that issue, as it sounds like you’re challenging her findings with a correction, but your correction was just to summarise her actual findings

Also, just in case, for pre-existing image collections (rather than one you will manually upload to immich) you need to use the “external libraries” feature in the admin settings. You should be pointing that feature at the docker mount point you have listed in your compose file

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Trans athlete of Lemmy, how do you manage the locker-room transition ?English
12·2 days agoIn Australia, it’s not the same issue it is in the US. Trans rights are protected here, and so, trans folk are legally allowed to use the locker room that is right for them, and on top of that, locker rooms in Australia generally don’t involve people getting naked around each other either to change or to shower. Locker room showers are generally in individual stalls, each with its own small changing area as part of the stall (something like this). That is where the majority of people change. There is a public area with lockers, but people in that space after a shower are mostly either already dressed, or in their underwear.
From my own personal experience, when I was a roller derby player before COVID, it was a non issue. Of course, roller derby is perhaps the most trans inclusive sport on the planet, so I’m not sure it’s a good example. Public swimming pools haven’t been an issue because of the shower design I mentioned above. And as a runner, I don’t really use public change rooms
tl;dr - It’s only an issue because transphobes choose to make it an issue

1·2 days agoThere’s no data on it, and I don’t care about the disk particularly. If I really need it at some point, I’ve got a dual boot windows PC in the lounge room that serves as a media PC for the family that I can use to unlock it.
I bring it up mostly because it’s indicative of the hardware pain points. It’s also typical of them in that it’s annoying, relatively minor, and generally the fault of proprietary locking down, rather than a true compatibility issue.

5·2 days agoNope. If it were that, I’d still be able to trash the partition.
The issue is apparently because it’s encrypted at the drive level and can’t even mount in windows without their proprietary software unlocking it first

13·2 days agoEverything is working in my daily use. But there are still little things that pop up less regularly, mostly around hardware.
I’ve got a USB SSD that I can’t use, because I need to “unlock” it in a windows device first. I can’t even re-partition it in linux.
I can’t update the firmware on my monitor because it can’t simply be done with a USB stick and on screen menus, but actually requires a windows only application.
And when I first started daily driving linux, my Nvidia GPU was a regular source of frustration, but it’s resolved now
Every one of these problems are because of manufacturers artificially locking hardware down, but they’re still problems. One can only hope that a growing linux using consumer base will shift their priorities

Linux@programming.dev•Those who've switched to Linux in the last year, how is it going?English
15·2 days agoI think it was two years or so for me now, but honestly, it’s going great. I’ve got alternatives for the windows only apps I used to use, and my games run smoothly.
Every time I have to use a windows computer for some reason, I’m reminded of why I stopped using that OS…
Originally, banjos post read like the line about Vera Rubin was outright incorrect, rather than simply being a case of the OP in the image making a poor summary of her contributions.
It sounded like Banjo was challenging Vera’s relevance in the list, rather than clarifying what she actually did
What’s proven is that our current mathematical models do not accurately represent the universe due to the way things move and effects of gravity
This is actually the bit that Vera Rubin discovered. The summary of her discovery in the quote is the issue :)
Yeah, I’m familiar. I’ve got more hours wracked up on Rallyman GT than I want to admit, and I own a lot of boardgames!
But I was talking about single player computer games, and didn’t want to complicate the analogy. Most board games only avoid the problems I was talking about, by dint of being multi player, and introducing the unpredictability factor through other people. But when we’re comparing single player computer games to board games, the analogy gets messy if the board games assume multiplayer. And I even acknowledge that there are single player board games that can scratch the itch (Final Girl, I’m looking at you), but for someone who doesn’t already play board games, it’s a big reach.
But yeah, the length of that paragraph is why I just skipped over boardgames in my previous reply :)
Nope, boardgames are too “fixed”. Think more like X-com, turn based roguelikes, iron man crusader kings, deck builders where you can’t choose the same cards every game etc… ie, games where the rules and combinations are always changing, so you can learn the system, but you need to apply that knowledge each game, rather than just learning to hyper-optimise a specific strategy by repetition.
My favourite type of game is turn based, with semi random/procedural generation of many elements of the gameplay, whether it be characters/map/team composition etc. The randomness is what lets me keep going and feeling like its new. The mechanics aren’t new, but the application is

Linux Questions@lemmy.zip•Is there any hope for accessibility on Linux?English
4·3 days agoThe threadiverse/lemmy is a niche community in the scheme of things, and talking about issues that impact a small portion of that niche community can often lead to resounding silence. Sometimes, someone taking a best guess, even if not speaking from first hand experience is better than no response at all, as long as they make it clear that they’re not speaking from lived experience.
Of course, the OP may not want to hear from people offering guesses, but even if they don’t make that explicit, unlike on reddit or other popular centralised spaces, at least they’re unlikely to be swamped with a wave of well intentioned guesses.

What I’m getting at is that your “but” made it sound like you were challenging her findings, rather than images incorrect summary of her findings.
