  • Oh yes I got my definition of correlation slightly wrong. Correlation doesn’t necessarily mean that two things have the same cause but they do relate in some way either by having a common cause or by occuring in the same system. They definitely have more in common than happening just at the same time or right after each other like a coincidence.

    I didn’t claim that correlation equals causation and I hope you didn’t get the impression because this would be oviously wrong.

    Edit: I stand corrected and today I learned that “correlation” means that two things have a statistical relation without any causal relation implied. There can be a causal relation but it’s not necessary. The key takeaway for me is that correlation describes a statistical relationship.








  • I was more curious why ver .33 is no longer working

    0.0.33 isn’t working anymore because Jerboa’s default instance (Lemmy.ml) has already been updated to 0.18 for testing purposes and trying to connect to a 0.18 instance causes Jerboa 0.0.34 and older to crash.

    We are in a rather silly state where we can’t use Jerboa 0.0.35 to log in to instances other than Lemmy.ml and can’t use Jerboa 0.0.34 when we haven’t been logged in before updating. 😬
