This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?
    • What color was the ball? Grey.
    • What gender was the person that pushed the ball? No idea, was there even a person? Couldn't really get it to move more than just rolling along.
    • What did they look like? Se above, I've no idea as I couldn't really image a person.
    • What size is the ball? Like a marble, or a baseball, or a basketball, or something else? Like a palintar in lord of the rings (commonly known as a "seeing stone" I believe?).
    • What about the table, what shape was it? What is it made of? Couldn't image a table, it just kinda layed in the emptyness.

    TDLR, can't really image stuff and really can't image people, who especially not faces.

  • How much do Americans actually pay for healthcare?
  • Holy shit. That would probably have been a quick in and talk with a doctor and a quick test for about 15 USD + maybe 20 USD for the antibiotics here in Sweden. No monthly coverage other then state taxes.

  • My brother claims that Vanguard for League can do the same to gaming PCs that install it as CrowdStrike did to businesses who installed that, is this true? Does Vanguard have as much access/power?
  • Yup, I seem to remember the same thing and I also seem to remember it being loaded at boot. Iirc you can stop it when the system has started and you've logged in but then you have to reboot in order for it to load again so you can plain. But same, I also don't use windows and haven't played leaugh for many many years.

  • Guess how I spent my morning...
  • Yhea, that's my though. I wanna keep up to date and quite frequently change my system. I like having the reproducibility but feel like the immutable might get in the way. My servers though stay pretty static.

  • Guess how I spent my morning...
  • Yup, only reason I can't move on is because of the AUR and the rolling release, though, having said that I'm thinking of trying NixOS but not quite sure it's for me as it isn't posix. It seems some software doesn't really like that although I've heard it's pretty awesome as a server OS.

  • wifi Temperature gauges?
  • The thing with wifi is that it drains a shit ton of energy. A WiFi temperature sensor might last a few weeks or months but ZigBee devices can last years. Of course this depends on what kind of batteries were talking about.

  • I'm not quite certain this will work because I've not used pop os in a while. Back then they used gnome so the toggle your talking about should be available via gsettings (cli). If you find the key you should be able to run a script every boot/login to disable it.

    Not the easiest solution but maybe a solution.

  • What universally beloved videogame you just can't enjoy?
  • I can understand your feeling. I first bought Witcher 3 in 2016 or so and didn't touch it for years. Picked it up 2 years ago again and loved it. It's not he best combat, not the best complex game but the story really hooked me. Mind you, it does take a couple of hours for it to get going. And the secondary quests (side quests) are some of the most memorable I've ever played.

  • One must imagine Saddam Hussein happy
  • I don't remember the name but it's a depiction of a cave explorer that got stuck like that and died. While there was help at the place to try and get him out they couldn't. If I remember correctly he's still stuck in that same place.

  • Why are SMS messages so expensive?
  • Holy hell. Sure, I bought my phone (a OnePlus 9) out of pocket but I pay about 20 USD for unlimited calls and SMS with 5Gb of data per month (I can also save unused data from each month to the other up to 15Gb). This is in Sweden for reference.
