I don't think we should have to accept toxic behavior or content on facilitate discussions.
Perhaps the problem is that many folks are quick to label anything they don't immediately understand or agree with as toxic, and if that's what you mean I agree we need less of that.
I'm in agreement with you, cause even with the eye/brain processing time, you still have the time for light to reflect off whatever you're seeing and hit your eyes. So there's definitely some delays.
I think the interesting part for me, is when the orders of magnitude make a difference on the human scale
The few milliseconds it takes light to reflect and my brain to process it is not really tangible, but knowing that this nova in OP occurred thousands of years ago and is just reaching out eyes now is worth noting, IMO.
This has always confused me, but reference frames makes conceptual sense to me.
Even still, I like to think about how long ago what I'm seeing now actually occurred.
For example when we see a planet in our solar system in the sky we know it's still technically in the past, but it's still in timescales humans can relate to.
Not quite. Most literally couldn't survive without a car, due to the infrastructure of the city/town they live in. They are a necessity for the vast majority of folks.
I don't know about McDonald's abroad, as I've never had it out of country, but here state side McDonald's isn't even fast anymore. It used to be fast, cheap, and acceptable, but they've given up fast and cheap and it's really only acceptable now.
Still faster than most sit down restaurants, but nowhere near what it was in terms of speed ten years ago.
Did you forget the ./s or something? Lemmy itself is developed on GitHub, as are plenty of other "valuable" open source projects. To pretend nothing of value is built there is putting your head in the sand.
If you're developing software on GitHub you have a chance at getting some useful feedback, bug reports and maybe even PRs. Like it or not, the network effect is real.
What websites? I use Firefox as my daily driver on desktop and mobile, and I rarely run into problems. Like so infrequently that I don't even remember the last time.
Calendar colors just launched on proton calendar. Still not quite a full outlook calendar replacement, but the individual color choice for events is one step there.
Yeah. Just warning for those that didn't watch it, starting off on the pig one thinking you're gonna see the advertisement one could be a rude switch.
