Oh sure, you can believe things without a sound proof (especially since even those must rely on assumptions). I was mostly trying to demonstrate that there are sincere counter-arguments to even such an uncontroversial belief. Would love to see your rigorous proof if you think you have one though.

I would challenge you to. Saying literally anything about the future requires an assumption that it is affected by the past (ie. that previous events cause future ones).

I mean there is technically no sound way to prove causality (at least to my knowledge). It all goes back to "It's been that way before" which is fair enough, but not rigorous.

They're talking about the desktop application.

Maybe there's a cultural idea about mirrors being somehow "the same". After all, a mirror shows the same thing regardless of which one it is. Or related in cultural mythology to a singular adjoining world that contains your doppelganger (in such media, you don't usually have a separate mirror-self for every mirror, but one that can be accessed from any mirror). Also could be a turn of phrase that stuck without a good reason.

I couldn't find a feature there either.

Not from this community, so I might get the vibe wrong, but is the idea that renting shouldn't exist at all? Because there are some situations where renting is preferable to ownership. Though none of that excuses price gouging, horrible practices, or disproportionate amount of space that renting takes up in the housing market.

What do you find not great about mouse/keyboard GNOME? All the gestures I know have pretty simple mouse and keyboard equivalents. So far I just gesture three fingers up/down/left/right, which I can do on a keyboard with super/alt-super-left/alt-super-right or on a mouse with hot-corner/corner-click/corner-scroll. If there's a gesture I'm missing out on please let me know, I always like to learn new tricks.

I haven't had to use any application like that in a while, though I'm sure you're right that they exist. Could you give me an example of an application feature that's only accessible from the system tray?

I mean, two nuclear bombs were used in war and a bunch in testing, unless I'm forgetting something. I feel like tectonic activity could definitely be much worse than that, judging by the early earth environment.

With two bedrooms? It would be nice if the average person could support a dependant, but I feel like the point would be made more strongly by showing that the average person can't even afford their own rent (which I assume is the case in many of these areas).
