@futurebird EE student here. The need for complex numbers is to encode the phase angle of the voltage. The absolute value equals the reactance (i.e. the value) and the phase angle shows the "offset" caused by the reactance. This is relevant for amplifiers for instance. As to why we use imaginary numbers, no idea.

@mirabilos right yeah, that's a disaster. Nowadays most people think Github is the only source of free software. Like the fediverse there should be a centralized git
@mirabilos check out codeberg for a sensible alternative that even works without JS.
cw: pol, rant
Ironic twist of fate (well not fate, but you get the idea) that the countries wil the lowest standard of living and of little to no way capable battling the climate crisis will be the ones hit the hardest. Meanwhile there's still idiots denying it's happening and capitalists like oil execs still profiting from this mess.
I'm so tired of having to idly sit by while we're this close to societal collapse just because of the false god money.

I could use something like #Openreads for desktop linux tbh. Or the feature to sync it to #nextcloud. It's a pretty great open-source app; just a sync feature or native linux support would be the cherry on top.
For those who don't know: it allows tracking and rating of books read, bookmarking (ha) ones you want to read for later, and showing statistics about read books.

@BestGirlGrace iirc there are more than enough characters that #Debian can release for the next 50 years, easily.
Really just being angry about the state of the world right now. My tolerance for people who have no compassion for people who are different than themselves is rapidly diminishing to nothing.
I really like people who have the courage to say it how it is. https://youtu.be/HJcGTjAFGjk?si=Hrk_Zx_5Iv1b1LBv&t=267
The SPICE mode in #KiCad and its simulating capacities are way too underrated. I love it. Once again #FreeSoftware being awesome.
@drewdevault rpm and deb are battle-tested and will continue to be highly relevant. It is complicated and a lot of effort sometimes to create a good package, but at the end of the day it is rewarding. Because the users know they can trust it, it's high-quality and (often) the current version. Personally I'd rather see the efforts towards flatpak directed to create "proper" sandboxing for GUI applications. Flatpak isn't viable for compilers for instance. Just my 2 cents
@mirabilos well nextcloud-desktop can be installed without a keyservice, but it recommends either of the two and without any one has to re-type the password everytime when logging in. So not great, and even if I need elogind it shouldn't be an issue package-wise.
