I did notice the sluggishness as well. but I didn’t mind much

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

Yeah, I’m using both all the time. Funny that you mention the teams Problems. My camera 9nly works ok Linux Teams but not on Windows 😂

I’m already using libre office all the time - but aside from gaming I heard that office is the only reason to still use windows. But I just need any document editor - not ms office - so that’s a no brainer for me But for some people at work when MS documents are sent via email and edited - then sometim3s it just doesn’t cut it.

it’s it though?

in our Fediverse bubble yes.

but so many average people just don’t care.

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

This!

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.

Sounds like a black mirror episode - if it weren’t actually possible reality…

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

ooffff

Exactly.
