Completely, if you look at tiling window managers.

If you're a gnome user check out PaperWM as well as Search Light (which is like Spotlight or whatever its called on Mac).

And Vim really is that good. I started using it a few years back and I can't imagine using anything else. There's a bunch of Vim alternatives, like Helix or NeoVim if you want to explore.

I was in a similar position to you. I had 500k karma iirc and I was legit addicted.

Delete your account. That's what I did. It was unthinkable and honestly kind of painful but looking back I'm so glad that I did. Rip the bandaid off and you'll never really have a reason to go back.

Find a Lemmy app that you like (or mbin or kbin, they all serve the same content (kinda)) and just use that.

Lemmy has far less content so when you run out of things to look at, realize that that is the addiction and try to do anything else.

When commenting, try and remember that you're (probably) responding to a real human and don't be an asshole. Admittedly I'm not always great about this but have made a lot of progress in the right direction.

Try not to get involved in the inter-instance drama. It isn't worth your time.

Its a process. You're going to find what works for you. You'll probably fail a bunch too but life is about getting back up when you fail so just keep at it and you can make meaningful change if you want to.

Yes, this is an excellent video! Thanks for finding this, I couldn't remember which video I saw this in when I was typing my reply.

If this is something that interests anyone reading this thread, PBS Space Time has a number of excellent videos on the topic of black holes and their theoretical alternatives.

Ah ha! Problem solved then. Nice troubleshooting skills!

You know I got super high a few weeks ago and imagined something similar to this so I'm pretty sure they're on to something here.

Its just a part in the equation where you're dividing by zero, that's all. We know you cant divide by zero, so it means our theories are incomplete.

The gravastar theory is notable (IMO) because it does away with the singularity. Although, it seems like this theory is borderline unfalsifiable, since any way you could detect a gravastar would also be insistinguishable from a black hole.

Personally, I am of the (completely unsubstantiated) opinion that black holes create universes (somehow) because it is a simple, succinct answer to many questions. So, any theory that takes that seriously would be worth further research, imo. But until there is some kind of observational evidence, I think this is just relegated to the realm of "that's a neat thing that math can do".

By asking them nicely?

If you aren't going to answer the question, then I will just assume that you didn't vote and handed the election to Trump.

Download a random app an execute it blindly to check for some malware I've never heard of? Hard pass.

I'm still rocking my RX480 and its going strong. Starting to show its age and not sure what I'll upgrade to next, but for now it works nicely.
