I’m not sure if my comment is whoosh, but just in case; it’s the transliteration of the letters in the picture if you read them as cyrillic letters, highlighting that they should be understood as faux-cyrillic instead

Exactly

I think this (admittedly long) video is a good summary https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PfrtN2LlgSI

I’m sorry but you can totally control the margin size in LaTeX if you learn the right incantation

then you spread the entrails slightly and stab towards the sky. Really don’t see what the big fuss is all about.

I took “rather than the other way around” to mean “rather than negatively-correlated” in this context, since positively was emphasized

I don’t really have great knowledge on this topic but my understanding is that it wasn’t just because it was purple, it was that the resulting purple dye was excellent; it was bright, beautiful and never faded. You can dye stuff purple with cabbage but it’s just not a very good dye in those regards

Yeah I would say that one could explain the picture here

Ultimately, the phenomenon is happening much much higher up in the atmosphere, so being a few kilometers closer vertically won’t make a difference; but by being further up on the ground, you could see an aurora from further away and through a lot more molecules that could scatter non-red light

That’s a cool photo, thanks for sharing.

For more context why this wouldn’t be related to redshift, redshift is a concept in physics for light that’s analogous to the Doppler shift for sound. The typical example of Doppler shift is the EEEEE-OO-UUUUUM sound a car makes when moving fast past you. When the car is speeding away from you, the sound pitch is noticeably lower

Similarly, when a light emitter moves away from you at extremely fast speeds (i.e. hundreds of millions of meters or yards per second), the light you see reaching you will be shifted down in frequency, towards red in visible light. This can happen in other more complicated relativistic situations too but they are less easy to explain and also not applicable here

I don’t know why the people in the photo see this beautiful red aurora but redshift is almost certainly not a related concept here

The answer is almost certainly no but I’m curious why you think this might be the case

Oh I see; I knew they stopped supporting it after a while but I thought the official app was a descendent of that codebase

The comparison is even more apt when you remember that the official Reddit app also used to be the most popular and great 3rd-party app called AlienBlue, which was purchased from 1 guy and rebranded a decade ago.

It’s pretty clear that the reason why the official Reddit app isn’t good is because a good experience for their users isn’t their goal.

I had a blunt umbrella several years ago (not the compact model however) and it was great quality and would buy it again. I sadly lost mine a while back

I agree with you; I think it is indeed the absolute bare minimum they had to do but I also agree with xc2215x that it’s a good move. They moved from -100 to -99 on my shithead-o-meter scale

I mean, Substack lit all the benefit of the doubt I had for them on fire with their previous response.

This new action doesn’t restore that, but all things being equal, I do want nazi shitheads to be de-platformed and have their funding cut off.

I think one can both acknowledge that they finally did a move in the correct direction and still think that they suck overall
