Never heard of this channel before. Thanks!

I assume it was just named after r/politics - like most of the other communities here during the migration.

Every time I use NewPipe or PipePipe, etc. and see the actual default videos, I lose a little more faith in humanity. Sometimes an actual good science channel like Kurzgesagt will be there and restore some, but generally it really is this bad.

Yeah, This case especially since it includes XWayland

If you want one that isn’t actually from that time, just feels like it, I’d say https://tildes.net/

I also read the announcement (and FAQ, and other pages) but was still hoping someone would comment on what it is exactly.

(I did guess along the right lines at least, but wasn’t really sure)

I don’t see evidence in the article that it even is ‘their software’ being discussed here - just a framework they are suggesting for compositors to have new functionality (regardless of GPU brands).

It even says “They aren’t going into this alone but at this year’s DisplayNext Hackfest it was also backed up by AMD for going a similar route.”

Support it Here if you would like it to be a real set.

They won’t be able to afford it.

Interesting.
Although I’m sceptical about that working for me specifically: I have a very weak sense of smell and therefore taste, so sweet, salty, umami, etc is probably much more of my tasting experience compared to most people. Without that I think I’d be left with not much at all.

As an example, spicy (‘hot’) in food to me is pure pain. I literally can’t comprehend how there could be any kind of flavor to it that people not only enjoy, but so much that they actively seek it enough to build a tolerance to the capsaicin.

Seriously, that video had a horrible ending, with no advice on how that might be feasible.

And it sounds worse to me than just being overweight and eventually getting diabetes and dying early (like most of my family)

I’m guessing in the first one they were making a barrier for the fire, instead of hitting it directly and letting the edge of it continue to spread if they didn’t get it all?

Any time I see an article about someone doing things with Redstone circuits, I think about that comic.

This was my first exposure to Linux - one of the PCs in high school had it installed. (I had read about Linux before then, but not had a chance to try it)

It had a little foam Tux in the box, and I got to keep it:

It’s desktop only, and from 2008.

That typo reverses the meaning by being one letter off.
(It had said “diy cooking paint”)

I’d say very slightly past that. Quantum computers do work right now, but it’s the same way the Wright brothers’ first plane worked: as proof of concept and research, but not better than existing tech for solving any problems.

And it’s not that they fail to meet expectations of the designers, as far as I know they do exactly what they are built to do as well as predicted with the tech we have. Just the press is expecting more.

Software and hardware support definitely counts.

I would also guess that probably a lot of Microsoft enterprise stuff like active directory group policies likely aren’t supported well, but I don’t have enough knowledge to back that up.

I’m a little surprised they are even still going. I guess staying small really was a goal.

Also in the US, the dollar sign is written before the number, like $5, not 5$
(Even though it’s spoken after the number, and almost all other units are after the number in both speech and writing)
