I am not sure where to start, but let's take the easy way:
At the moment of writing, the wikipedia page "Persecution of Uyghurs in China" has 585 references.
They're probably all written by seemingly independent institutions, journalists and scientists who somehow have a McCarthyist-like fear of communism that they'd risk their credibility just to add a bit of damage to communist China's moral standing?
Or are they all factually incorrect through some other mechanism?
The communism preference, yes. As for the CCP: They literally denied Uyghur persecution. Not even genocide, which is a claim that, due to its severity, is always going to be hard to prove, and thus debatable, I get that.
But even just the fact that the ethnic-religious group of Uyghurs are being persecuted on a large scale, had to be denied. That's pretty extreme.
The definition part of the wikipedia article has a table with these "nice relationships for addition and scaling".
You will see that they also hold for many kinds of functions, such as polynomials and other more abstract things than points and directions in 2D or 3D. N-dimensional vectors for example, or using complex numbers, or both.
Good point. I guess you're right, there are no flattering roles. But each of those options you list would have been less on top of existing prejudices.
Making her the (non-technical) project manager whose only contribution is "how many story points is that?", who's then silenced because "this is important!", confirms the typical prejudices about women in tech:
no technical expertise
is not in charge
does not have anything to say that is worth listening to in times of crisis
Especially being talked over. This matches many women's experiences in men-dominated environments to a T.
I'd much rather the technically competent, important but socially weird engineer (Jared) be the woman, or the incompetent boss, who's in charge and calls the shots. Even having no women in the skit would be better than this Cindy role.
Or, weird idea I know, multiple people with different roles being women. 🙄
The most mind-blowing moment I've ever had was the course Relativistic Electrodynamics.
If you assume static electricity (charges attract or repel), then apply special relativity to see what the situation looks like to an observer travelling by, you get magnetism!
Turns out half of Maxwell's laws is a direct consequence of the other half once you know about special relativity.
I have never heard of WattOS but that sounds terrible.
It seems like antiX is a systemd-free Debian flavor.
If you want systemd, why not just use Debian? Or, if you are looking for a nice preconfigured DE/WM, any of a number of Debian/Ubuntu derivatives.
Mint for best out of the box setup, Pop!_OS for tiling, Zorin OS if you're looking for a funky styling, any of the Ubuntu derivatives for the major DEs: Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.
Makes sense. Mono was necessary in the "old .NET" world, where runtimes were tied to Windows versions and the framework was a pure Windows framework. Mono made it possible to run old dotNET framework versions (up to 4.8) on other OSes.
Since dotNET Core and then dotNET 5 and higher, the framework itself is cross-platform so Mono is not necessary anymore, except for backwards compatibility for apps that use a now unsupported framework.
So it makes sense that Microsoft, after dropping the old dotNET Framework versions, also wants to stop supporting the cross-platform library that was only needed for those old versions.
@lemmyrolinga@lemmy.ml I second Bitflip's comment.
F-droid repos are amazing and a must-have, but the default F-droid front-end is not the most user-friendly.
I have been very happy with the Droidify front-end, as have other F-droid users to whom I recommended it.
You can get Droidify using F-Droid, of course.
