Ah, okay. Yes, I can understand that now

Why condolences?

I don’t feel like I’m addicted to it I just play Aram a few times a week - and I have a plentiful life outside of LoL

Wow, you nearly described the same experiences I had just recently - when I installed steam and a few games for the first time on Linux. And I was also like “Oh, what? It actually works!!”

I immediately shrunk my windows on dual boot and will likely uninstall it completely in near future. No need for bloated windows anymore

Wow, this is so well articulated and to the point.

The example with gravity is interesting indeed. We have only acceleration sensors behind our ears, but our body notices the pressure of the body tissue pressing down towards the gravity. And obviously, we also feel gravity when moving.

However, the difference to magnetism is, that we frankly don’t have any contact with magnets during our evolution - except for the earth’s magnetic field.

Even if we are able to sense it, it’s definitely far from being able to reliably feel it like we do for gravity.

Good point! 😄

We also don’t have any feeling of how that’s like!

Finally mens nipples get something to be useful at.

I vote for mens liberation and rights for magnetic nipples!

Fair point, but then, most people don’t have this.

And even if you do it, you need to get some experience for your brain to develop a model of what to expect in certain situations. For instance, your brain will need some time to get used to the fact, that putting our hand on a fridge will give the brain new sensory stimuli because of the magnets on the fridge.

This intuitive understanding of light and sound is just that - brain neurons being used to what to expect. And even with an implant you would need to train that.

Though I’m definitely curious to experience once how that would feel like 😄

Fair point, I didn’t know about that. But even then, most of us don’t feel like we can feel it - and in the modern city living spaces it gets even less important to train such a sense.

I have to disagree there regardless of how one interprets “know”.

If you mean “know intuitively”, then we don’t, precisely because we have no sensors for it and hence no experience with it. We intuitively know light, because we sense it and know what to expect in a closed room with no light source.

If you mean it scientifically, then light and magnets are extensively studied and far from “know nothing about it”. Our knowledge of light, magnetism and sound is very good on all levels.

It has been used so much recently that there is even a wikitionar entry for it - with a link to its original creation!

Even then. If steam actually locks out out of your games, then I bet hacked will quickly put more effort to sidestep the drm and make that more easily accessible.

One of the few companies I’ve purchased digital good from - and they haven’t enshittified themselves yet

thanks, I’ve actually known the video - but not the larger picture.

nevertheless, one of the most impressive and extraordinary and important clips in humanity

Wow. I had never seen the full image. thanks!

Exactly.

Wow, what a coincidence. I was just there for in the museum for the first (and probably only) time in life and the next moment I open Lemmy, I read this.
