  • I have serious issues with Cosmic. When I lock the screen and come back, then it has kills all terminals except the Cosmic terminal, firefox has become… broken, for the lack of a better word, where all new pages just give gray background color and no menu items work, and the sound is reset to the laptop speaker instead of hdmi, not the disolay though, only sound. Then fullscreening terminals also makes them crash, as in they seem to refuse to take input.

    It is not really usable. But since nvidia on x11 in popos started resetting the display config when the screen went to sleep, it beats the alternative.



  • Look into a distro that you might like, and find a “live usb” of it, often it is the installation media itself. How it works is basically it is a linux already installed on a disk image you transfer to the usb, and tell the computer to boot from it. Instructions on all this usually comes with the live usb media. Then you usually get a “try it out” or “install” option, or it just leaves you at a pre-configured desktop. Click around, install stuff, browse the web, get a feel for it.








  • The bum on the rods is hunted down as an enemy of mankind
    The other is driven around to his club, is feted, wined and dined

    And they who curse the bum on the rods as the essence of all that’s bad
    Will greet the other with a willing smile and extend a hand so glad

    The bum on the rods is a social flea who gets an occassional bite
    The bum on the plush is a social leech, bloodsucking day and night

    The bum on the rods is a load so light that his weight we scarcely feel
    But it takes the labour of dozens of folks to furnish the other a meal

    As long as we sanction the bum on the plush the other will always be there
    But rid ourselves of the bum on the plush and the other will dissappear

    Then make an intelligent organised kick get rid of the weights that crush
    Dont worry about the bum on the rods get rid of the bum on the plush





  • I found this

    This manuscript was developed in dialogue with several artificial intelligence system

    I guess that is why you say

    With this project having escaped my competence long ago

    OK. Just to let you know, nothing here makes sense.

    Tanke my question. Like on some level, “$g_{rr}$” is the correct answer. But not in the context of the text in the manuscript. Then the answer would be “there is no spatial curvature in that metric, that statement and the section is wrong”.

    Your suggested improvements at the end of the comment would not help the situation either. None of them relevantly addresses the issue.

    Your answer here makes no sense. For the gravitational lensing calculation you use one metric. Here you try to juggle three metrics at once to… I’m not sure what the intent is, but there are barely anything that makes sense.

    Look. If you think that anything here make sense, that you believe that anything that these LLMs your are using is getting closer to some new description of reality, or are even coherent, then I advise you to talk to someone. Like a health professional. What you are doing is not healthy. I’m saying this out of genuine consern.

    I will not engage you on this anymore. Just one last thing before I leave, you are not to mention my user name in any contribution nor acknowledgment. Nothing I have said is to be taken as a positive encuragement as to indicate that you are making anything useful here. Hence it would not make sense to make a reference to this conversation as any sort of contribution, as it is not an attempt at contributing but only to critique. So please, do not attribute this to some “community contribution” in any of your texts.


  • May not be completely on topic… but in your manuscript there you appear to make physics claims. What are those actually? Like you appear to claim to resolve black hole singularities, but there is no substance in the article. Before solving unsolved problem, your theory must reproduce old results, in some way.

    An example of common GR exercises you should be able to reproduce is like the gravitational bending of light. Good, you have a chapter on that. However, it contains several errors and appears not to contain references to the claims or derivation of them from your “theory”. Like here is the simplest, first GR lecture stuff, on that section, you write:

    The factor of 4 (twice the Newtonian value) comes from the equal contribution of the temporal and spatial curvature in the metric

    Can you point to the spatial curvature part of that metric you show there? The one you say contribute an equal factor to the light bending angle.

    Then I’d have a lot of follow ups, but it would be helpful to spell out that in this section on light bending is derived from your priciples and what are just suppose to be GR statements.
