Technology@beehaw.org•Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Satellite for smartphones fails to take off

Linux@lemmy.ml•Distrobox is such a cool utility! Tried it out today and don't see myself switching distros now for a long time :)English

“Tautological denial of magic” seems like a total misunderstanding of the scientific method. If you know there’s something “magical” you still can study it’s effects on the real world.
Like someone here already commented, this is what we do in case of medical studies, “how good does this thing work compared to something that gives the illusion of working”, the same can be done for whatever you define as your “magic”.
