Submission + - SPAM: The Gravity of the Situation

jd writes: A number of sites are reporting an unconfirmed breakdown of Relativity at extreme distance: Researchers have stumbled upon a phenomenon that could rewrite our understanding of the universe’s gravitational forces. Known as the “cosmic glitch,” this discovery highlights anomalies in gravity’s behavior on an immense scale, challenging the established norms set by Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. However, when applied to the vast scales of galaxy clusters and beyond, this model begins to show cracks. Robin Wen is the project’s lead author and a recent graduate in Mathematical Physics from the University of Waterloo. “At these colossal distances, general relativity starts to deviate from what we observe. It’s as if gravity’s influence weakens by about one percent when dealing with distances spanning billions of light years,” explained Wen. Here's the research paper causing the excitement: [spam URL stripped]

Plato was a big thinker but he suffered from "left-brain poisoning" which leads to over abstraction, including racism, classism, political parties, communism, and other mental disorders. "Plutonic Ideals" were supposed to be a though experiment originally.

Aristotle did major work to fix Plato's fuzzy-headed thinking.

Has someone written a feature to make this better and it's being ignored?

Or is this a matter of insisting someone else do something?

TBH it sounds like we need a standard for pre-rendered blurb and thumbs.

Extended OpenGraph for thumbs? Or does that exist?

Social media is moving to distributed no matter who dislikes that idea, so make it as efficient as possible, yes, but don't bitch about reality.

You'll stop when you get less value from it than the fee is worth.

It sounds like they're lazily destroying their value proposition but Subjective Value Theory says that set point will be different than everybody else.

It's still stupid of them to remove features for paying customers. Probably they are losing devs or hiring unqualified people for non-merit reasons. Their shareholders should be pissed.

FWIW when I was a teen I probably spent $100 a months (in 2024 dollars) on music so I can see why so many people subscribe.

I still own my CD's but only ever listen to the mp3 rips.
