  • As far as I’m aware, what you cited only proves that there is no ether that acts on light in a way such that the round trip time in the direction of ether travel is different from the round trip time in the direction perpendicular to ether travel.

    It’s not merely that:

    somehow the movement of this medium caused the speed of light in one direction to be faster than another due to the movement of this medium, measuring the speed in two directions perpendicular to each other would reveal that difference.

    Instead, it’s that the speed of light must be different in the two directions in a way such that their round trip times don’t average out to the same average as in the other direction.

    The theories of ether at the time predicted such a round trip difference because of the wind like interactions that you say.

    I believe that this in no way proves anything about the one way speed of light. The Michaelson Morley inteferometer only measures difference in round trip time.

    (Insert comment about the irony of your last statement). See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_speed_of_light





  • There’s definitely software that uses parts of the windows API that games don’t touch. And doesn’t work properly on Wine. I keep a windows install around just for using an analysis software for some lab equipment that refuses to start in wine.

    Things like CAD software are also a struggle, though the latest wine seems to have resolved a number of graphics issues with getting PTC Creo to properly use the nvapi and nvidia graphics drivers through wine.

    While wine is amazing, plenty of things don’t work with it. Usually you don’t need them, but if you do, you do








  • That make sense. I would use tags like that:

    • Flickr Published

    • year roundup/2022

    • type/Landscapes

    • type/Portraits

    • events/trips/Zion 2022

    • content/food

    • content/animals

    I actually do event level as my on-disk sorting. And then tag for stuff that’s not that. But I think it would work pretty well to do the event sorting under tags as well.

    Then I rate my favorite photos, usually using the green approved, not stars. But stars would work too. Then if you want to find say, favorite landscapes, the digikam interface makes it really easy to do so.

    I’m not sure if you can select what tags get written into the image, but if you can, you might be able to exclude certain parts of the hierarchy, and only include content/ or type/ subhierarchies
