Anyone who unironically uses the word "praxis" should rethink their whole life.

When multiple fields of science all agree, yeah they know what they're talking about.

I just don't get these anti-science types...

Within that finite set, one combination is the complete text of Hamlet.

Exactly. That's the point.

This article fundamentally misunderstands the entire thought experiment by using finite monkeys. With infinite monkeys, we'd have the script as quickly as it is physically possible to type the script.

Doesn't matter in the real infinite monkeys thought experiment. The chance of an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters producing Shakespeare is 100%. That's how infinity works.

It's really not that long, if we can't get monkeys to write Shakespeare.

The probability of lots of things is zero. The probability of a monkey typing a Chinese character on an English keyboard is zero.

Similar idea: there are an infinite amount of numbers between zero and one, but none of those numbers is two.

That's not bold, we've known how long the universe will last for decades now.

You have all the powers that Putin currently does. Everyone completely loyal to Putin is now loyal to you. Enemies of Putin are enemies of you. Putin no longer exists, and there has been a clean and absolute transfer of power to you. The economic, military, social and political situations are the same as they now are. You are not inhabiting Putin's body, you are just you. You're magically transferred to the Kremlin. The world at large doesn't know your past life, to them you have magically appeared as the new ruler. To everyone who knew you before, you just vanished.

Edit: no one knows your past life YET. They'll quickly figure it out. You will not lose any support based on your actions in your past life.

What are your favorite privacy-focused alternatives to standard apps? (lemmy.world)
 

Especially for those of us with no coding background, who can't just build/edit an app.

For example, I like using Gadgetbridge to replace my fitness tracker app: https://gadgetbridge.org/

It's not nearly as full-featured as a regular fitness app, but it literally can't connect to the internet so there's no way anyone can get my health info.
