“This diet is fundamentally at odds with everything we know about long-term health”

Been noticing a worrying amount of keto post in my feed lately. please keep in mind that the keto diet consistently ranks as among the worst, if not the absolute worst diet overall for long-term health, not to mention its devastating environmental impact.

Best stick to the science on this one.

The key question about Trump and January 6 - one most pundits celebrating the Court’s decision are arrogantly dismissing - concerns the demands and limits of democratic self-defense in the face of extremism.

Re-posting this, in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling:

in reply to Thomas Zimmer

Since January 6, and especially since the January 6 Committee referred Trump to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, the discussion has disproportionally focused on the risk of doing something - and tended to neglect the considerable dangers of doing nothing. 5/

“Fascism must be defeated at the ballot box” - I see little value in presenting such platitudes as some kind of deep political or historical wisdom. If the threat is real and imminent, must we not mobilize *all* the resources our democratic system of government has at its disposal? 6/



Exactly the same content, posted on the same time, to similar crowd, gets 10x more engagement here than on Twitter, even tho I have 10x less followers here.

Why are people still using Twitter for promotion? And some are paying money thinking they're getting a good deal.

in reply to Sos Sosowski

because it's still the big established thing, where most people are - as sad as that is

part of the reason for the lower engagement is probably the for you feed, whereas mastodon is just a plain feed

Here's a question for #academia: why shouldn't I count my contributions to major open-source projects which are scientifically relevant (e.g. Linux [1], OpenCV [2]) just like publications?

- They have a unique identifier.
- They are most certainly peer-reviewed (if you don't believe me, try to submit a Linux patch sometime)
- They are archived long-term.
- They are publicly available.

So... where's the difference?

I see no reason why you could not, though perhaps under a different subsection heading similar to what is recommended for reviews vs original research.

The Supreme Court Must Be Stopped. “I think of the Supreme Court the way Batman thinks of Superman: an extremely powerful being who is untethered from the laws of physics and therefore must always be considered a threat to free society.” thenation.com/article/archive/…
in reply to kottke.org

I'm starting to think that the least credible trait of Superman is not that he can see through things, or have microscopic vision, or be invulnerable, or flying even through the solar system.

No, the most incredible thing (in 2024) is believing that, thanks to him being brought up in America, he would have such a strong moral compass that would never allow him to become a tyrant.

That's not bad at all 😁 I was kind of giving up hope looking at the steam survey numbers, but i guess we can conclude that the majority of linux users just aren't gamers? I guess that makes sense, even though that might change with linux handheld getting so good. Finally some good news.

Does anyone have any insight about what's going on with the plasma-desktop package on Arch, I know there's a todo list for KDE 6 but everything is checked off as complete but we're still waiting for it to leave testing archlinux.org/todo/plasma-6/
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Someone linked to a bug in the screenshot tool in plasma 6 in the arch linux matrix room (i think in offtopic one), which is pretty bad enough. In some cases, black boxes are shown instead of selecting the screenshot area. It was something like that, dont remember exactly. This might be a reason why things are held back.

Will try to see if I can find the bug report once again on kde's bugtracker

in reply to Brodie Robertson

they are probably waiting for the 6.0.1 release tomorrow.
There are a bunch of bugfixes in 6.0.1: pointieststick.com/2024/03/02/…

it is crazy that in the light theme of LibreOffice Writer, I can barely see the difference between the paper and the background... now they have some contour around, but for a few versions there wasn't...

what is going on with all the white and grey???



YES. I have turned my #RaspberryPi into the most wonderful media/music server. It's basically my own little super charged and non-capitalistic Spotify.

Here's how it works.

Playing music: It runs #Jellyfin (in a docker container). This is so amazing – it even has a phone app (this is how I listen mostly).

Adding more music:
The Pi has an external drive connected to it (mount at boot) with all my music, shared as a samba server on our home network, this makes it easy to manage the files.

in reply to Mads Kjeldgaard

very nice!

Two years ago I did a kodi install with a touchscreen and attached it to a tower that houses my sub, and it's a home music centre that everyone in the house loves. Media players are a great pi project and really reliable — I haven't had a single issue.

in reply to Jen Sorensen

I know it's a joke, but it does occur to me that there are cases where encouraging the employees to anthropomorphosize non-people like this is a good idea. Like, in a cryo facility, you want all the workers to operate on the belief that every single body is a person who may be revived some day, and that allowing them to thaw would be the end of their life, not when they were frozen: you don't want workers who think they are just working fancy storage for dead bodies, which was what a lot of the early scams did.

Good comic. Makes my brain do things.
