  • I was under the impression that something along these lines was already accepted from the perspective of information theory. I.e. a machine that could simulate the universe must at least be composed of as much information as the universe itself. Given the vastness and complexity of the universe, this would make it rather unlikely that the universe is simulated. Unless you want to view the universe itself as a machine that calculates it’s own progression. But that is a bit of a semantic point.

    Disclaimer: this is not my area of expertise and I probably got some terms or concepts wrong. I am basing this off of ‘The information’ by James Gleick





  • I filled out this EU DMA form and I wrote the following:

    “Google unilaterally decreed that Android developers everywhere in the world are going to be required to register centrally with Google.
    This further threatens access to open software and the right to install software of choice on Android devices such as smartphones. This constitutes yet another obstacle to digital sovereignty. Furthermore, it is an antitrust issue because it serves Google’s aim to establish a monopoly over the Android software ecosystem.
    It is of vital importance that platforms such as the F-droid store can continue to offer open software independently from the influence of Google and the USA.
    Please table this matter for discussion. It is vital that the EU puts in place and enforces legislation that prevents companies like Google from harming user’s ability to run software of their choosing on the devices that they own.
    Please see Google’s unilateral decree:
