"Against the storm" is really really good, I'm not sure about chill. They offer different speed settings and I have a tendency to go as fast as I can.

Wait. i know.
"Terra Nil" is about restoring earth's ecosystem through building.
If not, how do you find stuff you care about?
You go to explore, or your home instance feed and follow people and hashtags.
If you have interests, definitely try finding them in the hashtags.
And is reblogging the equivalent to upvoting?
There are no "upvotes". The idea is that you're in your little bubble with a handful of followers, and so is basically everyone else. When you find something neat, you boost it, to share it with your followers. If your followers also like, they can boost it as well, and that way, it can spread in a viral way and reach everyone. Or not, if it's not that interesting and fizzles out.
There are no upvotes because there is no home page. It's entirely right now. You pick it up, you scroll for a bit, you do something and then you put it down.
I recommend the "federated" feed, to see what I mean. Normally, your home feed is filtered to what you have followed. "Federated" is everything you device can see. All of it. Right now. Slowed down a bit so you can read something, but it's a cool "stream of consciousness" thing.
Do they have memes there or what’s the range of content?
Everything you want. It really depends on what you filter for.
How does it compare to bluesky?
I don't know in terms of tone, but the technical difference is that bluesky is only theoretically "independent", with mastodon, you can have people in basements hosting servers and running communities.
Something you didn't ask, but that I think is a major feature is filters. You can filter groups of keywords from your feed. So if you want to be informed, but you don't really care about the specifics of [Team Rockets] Deeds, because they do something every day, you can set a filter for "Team Rocket", "Jessie", "James" and it will be hidden, but not completely, you can set it to appear as "team rocket did something again". You can then still click on it, if you want, but it's less in your face, if you don't want to.
Mastodon dot SOCIAL did, the big public instance. Mastodon the software doesn't have these restrictions.
Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness
Is actually every easy to understand. NS is the basic fluid dynamics equation, it describes how fluids move.
Never mind the actual equation, you can think of it as "speed" depending on "pressure" and "inertia". We can use it in parts, in CFD, which is splitting the problem into very small pieces and calculating the pieces and then adding them up bit by bit. But that is super expensive to calculate, not as precise as we would like and difficult to understand.
We would really prefer an "analytical" equation like position = speed * time. The process to get there is usually the integral operation. That's what the problem is all about.
The problem with the equation we have, is that "pressure" and "inertia" variables are so mixed up in the equation, that we can't do that integral operation on the equation we have. You end up with something that's like
y/x = (y/(x-y)) + x
and
x/y = (x/(y-x)) + y
Idk if that explains anything if I put it like that... You can just look at the whole thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Prize_Problems#Navier%E2%80%93Stokes_existence_and_smoothness
Both sides of that equation describe the same thing, one with forces and pressures, one with measures of speed and time. But BOTH sides contain both space and time parts.
The pieces are interlocked in a way, where we can't isolate variables, can't get an integral.
Understanding NS itself isn't that hard either, but I couldn't do it just from wikipedia, if you have a bit of help guiding you through it, it's not that complicated.
The problem is finding / proving that an integral exists and is smooth.
As for how hard it is and how useful it would be, the 1$ million are a joke. The solution is worth billions and billions.
And the problem is old.
The equations were developed over several decades of progressively building the theories, from 1822 (Navier) to 1842–1850 (Stokes).
2025 is a banger year for open source and internet freedom.
The question is mostly about what kind of gaming.
Most single player experiences are no longer a problem because of steam proton, but multiplayer anti cheat and other AAA DRM is sometimes a windows only thing.
Coding is just superior on linux. It's the platform built by coders to make their own life easier for 30 years.
You should dual boot, try it out for a few games and see how the dev process translates and get your feet wet.
Setting up a VM is probably a lot more effort than just installing it.
Ok, I'm looking forward to them changing this practice then. We'll see if they do.

Disgusting. I don't demand or expect them to rewrite their website, but those people are nowhere near even "neutral" status, as long as they behave this way.
Certainly not allies or friends I would support.
What then?
Yeah it'll just be over.
Meaning, people would try to barter, which is really bad because it forces extremely bad trades, because it's so hard to establish a good value for things.
We 100% rely on consistently working electricity and network connectivity for digital currency to work.
Which is why we should never get 100% rid of cash, even if we transition to mostly cashless, people should keep an emergency stash of hard currency. The same way people should keep an emergency food and water supply, in case of power outages like the one in spain. We can secure our infrastructure against many things, but not 100% secure against everything. Keeping a few bottles of clean water, a little bit of essentially never perishing food and a little cash and a few candles really isn't too much to ask.
Sure, it's a matter taste and I too like a good UI.
Both can exist, that's a another beauty of linux.
Even if it wasn't a population density correlation, there are lots of totally unrelated correlations.
Someone made a fun website with them!
