If the postman is your ISP, and the people in your house are computers, then the person who picks up your mail at the mailbox and hands it out is the router.

Also A is using polite sentence endings. 〜ます, 〜ました, and です.

I recently found a ublock filter for that!

I'll usually stop and read them for apps that I like. I like knowing what's changed.

The scene where they reference other movies is just establishing the in-universe rules for time travel. Specifically, that when they time travel, they're actually traveling to a different branch of the "many worlds" tree of possibilities. This is a real theory that says that every time a quantum waveform collapses, what's actually happening is that the universe is splitting into multiple copies, one for each possible outcome, so that all the possible outcomes actually happen. So their time travel is actually finding a different universe that is identical to the one they want to travel to. The in-universe consequence of this is that, since they're going to a whole different universe, any changes made there don't affect the universe that they came from.

It's accurate in that the "many words" theory is a real (but unproven, possibly unfalsifiable) theory. It's not accurate in that there's no reason to think you could get from one universe to another. And maybe questionable that a universe identical to your own universe's past actually exists as one of the many words.

It's also internally inaccurate, since Steve Rogers travels to the past and then apparently just waits around to show up in the present again, which is exactly how they said it doesn't work.

At that price, you'd be a fool not to get some!

It combigated them.

I think that just makes it easier to use smaller amounts at a time.

I just hope that when the dust settles from all this hyperpartisan redistricting, enough voters will recognize it as a problem that we can push toward banning it nationally. Dare I dream of moving to proportional representation?

 
 

I'd be interested in hearing recommendations for other music that is similar to the instrumental bit of this song starting at about 2:43

Sound cutoff issues (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by ProfessorScience@lemmy.world to c/pop_os@lemmy.world
 

Hello! I'm pretty new to pop_os and linux, but am trying to switch over from windows. I've been having some sound issues where it seems like sounds get cut off. It seems to most noticeable with something like doing duolingo from my browser (lots of short sound clips of words and such; if I click on words quickly, then spotify playing in the background will stop playing briefly). I've tried disabling sleep, as described by https://support.system76.com/articles/audio/, without luck. I've also noticed that I see errors listed in pw-top which sometimes correspond to sounds getting cut off. That is, sometimes I notice a cutoff without seeing an increase in the number of errors, but when I notice an increase in the number of errors it usually corresponds to something getting cut off.

Is there a way to see what the errors from pw-top are? Or suggestions for other things I should look into? I've looked at dmesg and systemctl status --user pipewire.service (and pipewire-pulse) but the only error I see is a nvidia-drm thing which seems to be innocuous. I've also uploaded my alsa-info results, if that's useful.
