  • I think it’s more fundamental than that. He could talk about relativity and electrostatics and particle spin, but at some level the electromagnetic force is called a “fundamental force” because it’s one of the postulates we just kinda accept about the universe, and any explanation he could give would depend on that assumption.

  • To be fair: "A magnet works because negatively charged electrons repel each other. "

    This is the Coloumbic (electrostatic) force, which is related to magnetism but this explanation would be insufficient to explain magnetism.

    "..... Well .. Ok, so hear me out. You're going to need to understand quantum mechanics and then the fermion principal. Then you'll know that the electrons aren't allowed to occupy the same space, and the easiest way to avoid being in the same space is to not touch each other. The electrons know they aren't allowed to touch because they've studied fermions."

    This is the Pauli exclusion principle, which does act like a force, but is not the same as the electrostatic force or magnetism.

    Magnetism is moving electrons repel/attract/affect each other depending on the direction they are moving.

    The simplest explanation for that I know of is that force needs to exist alongside the electrostatic force for the motion of electrons to be consistent with relativistic time and space dilation effects.

    And no, that’s not a simple explanation, and it requires explaining relativity, and at the end of the day the best explanation we’ve got for the electrostatic force is more or less “electrons repel each other because they do”.

  • Doesn’t seem to be a bug.

    here’s an issue on GitHub for GE-Proton about this problem, where they blame it on Valve.

    As I understand it, PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND is needed for HDR, at least on gnome, which is what I am using.

    I think KDE might have somewhat better HDR support right now, but I much prefer gnome and am trying to use Bazzite as a daily driver besides just games.

  • It’s also hard to get certain things working.

    I’ve started trying out Bazzite, but it’s definitely not ready to replace Windows yet. HDR was a pain to get working, only for me to find SteamInput is disabled when I get HDR active. I haven’t tried VR yet, but I’m a bit worried that won’t go well.

  • Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)?

  • I’ve been doing my work in Linux for a while now. I’ve started trying out Bazzite for gaming. It’s been quite nice, but not without issues.

  • I think it’s a reference to light cones

    The idea being that if you take relativity into account, everything is always moving “at the same speed”, it’s just something stationary is moving only in the time direction, and something moving in a spatial direction is therefore moving slightly slower in the time dimension.

    I’ve heard this description before but I don’t think the math quite works out and it also doesn’t really explain why the speed of light is the speed limit.

  • Prism Launcher shows up in flat hub (the “app store” that comes with Bazzite).

    It manages different Minecraft instances of different versions, and helps manage mods, texture packs, shaderpacks, etc.

    (But in general, all versions of Minecraft: Java Edition support Linux, and most if not all Minecraft launchers, including the official one, support Linux)
