minus-square@AstroLightz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish5•3 months agoIs it truly random though? If in a specific point in time, the number generated is always the same, then that’s not truly random. Absolute true randomness would be a different result every time it is generated in that specific point in time. A bit Sci-Fi and probably unrealistic opinion, but it does make me curious about how this kind of randomness could be implemented.
