This week's comic is about how easily conventional wisdom gets turned on its head by bad faith actors, especially in a media environment lacking responsible editors.
The 'roided-up alpha chuds will start freebasing vintage lead paint peels before their backyard UFC fights and blame all the deaths on woke anti-lead policies and escaped lib-vaccine proteins attacking their hard-ass butch lead proteins. "Men stopped being men when liberals created unleaded gas to make men gay" and all that flouncy prattling and screeching they loooove to do to stay victims every day.
Trouble is, if you substitute fluoride for lead, you have the mirror image of this cartoon. The real problem is a population that has been systematically fed both-sideism for so long they can't tell the difference.
sadly the lead was found in pea protein, which has a niche market among vegans. The kinds of people you'd expect to ignore science will definitely be embracing this report. The deadshit meatheads will be Trollface lolling on their podcasts and saying THIS JUST PROVES YOU NEED MEAT. Confirmation bias and all that.
I'm for the cause, but not too proud to admit I'm going off half-cocked on the switch. I don't mind a little jank, but when games hard-crash at random times, well...
oh I miss 3 versions of microsoft teams and system UI implemented in there different levels of framework abstraction latest of which includes javascript
this is totally true, but I believe users are going for Windows games less than they were a couple of years ago. Linux support for gaming has been improving over the years and I hope it continues improving, so the few that move to Windows don't need to do it anymore.
Sadly, the problem is not Linux or their community at all, so their work doesn't really matter... The real problem are the companies who develop those games, support Linux!!
I only play MCOC on my device 😝 so can't comment over Linux or window 😁. But what I learnt after reading about Linux from books.. I found Linux is good for programmers and developers... For normal user(me 🤣) it's still tough to use
I was considering doing this just to play Skate specifically, as its anti-cheat detects and refuses to work under Wine and VMs, but now that Sonic Rumble has been released and uses an anti-cheat system that officially supports Wine, I've decided to keep my computer 100% Linux, as it has been for the last 5 years.
The Plex transition was practically impossible. I followed the main guide and a more deeper guide on transferring registry to XML.
Sadly most of the metadata was lost and playlists (largely Plex's fault) didn't transition.
So I put my Windows build on a travel pc I had that has the N-Series of processors by intel. I don't think it will ever be more than a media server going forward.
But I did nuke my entire steam library and moved that towards linux, mainly to my steam deck.
Today we celebrate the birthday of not one, but two amazing women in science! 🤗🎉Marie Skłodowska-Curie (1867), who discovered #radium & #polonium & pioneered #radioactivity, & Lise Meitner (1878), whose brilliance uncovered the physics behind #nuclearfission. Happy birthday! #OTD #WomenInStem #WomeninScience
Despite the virtue-signalling of the palm oil certification body the RSPO, Mondelez’s so-called “sustainable” palm oil is linked to 37.000ha of palm oil deforestation since 2016 (…
Threats to conservation from artificial-intelligence-generated wildlife images and videos
"Three distinctive characteristics of contemporary society can exacerbate this issue: the pervasive use of social media, anthropomorphizing of animal behavior, and disconnection from nature."
Which is different from #AI as #ML. In our nature park we try to reconnect children with nature via technics: on excursions in the forest etc. they may use their ID-Apps (which work with AI!) ... and many know more about species than their parents.
#India’s fifty year long Project #Tiger has been a successful conservation project. A new research study finds that protecting tigers and their rainforest home has additional benefits to #car…
Yes, but... the mental age of Americans writ large seems to be < 35 y.o. Sadly. That aside (in a bell curve, 50% ARE "of average intelligence) the average voter today is saturated in propaganda, both blatant and subliminal. Scary time.
This week in Linux, I'm back! Well kind of. I'm still recovering but I wanted to try. I dont know when TWIL will come back on a weekly basis but I wanted to at least start the process ... especially since Linux news has been INSANE since I've been gone!
For a while now Valve have been tweaking Steam store pages, including making them a fair bit wider which is now actually live everywhere for all users.
Good! I'm so tired of the awful web design trend that is skinny narrow maximum width pages. Mastodon is guilty of this trend. I have almost four thousand pixels and so many sites are using maybe a quarter of them tops. It's comical how little screen space modern sites use. Like sure, design a mobile layout that fits on phones, but also make a desktop layout that actually utilizes the majority of the screen.
Mientras el gobernador de Chiapas, Eduardo Ramírez Aguilar, presume que es el “segundo estado más seguro del país”, las agresiones contra defensores, periodistas y activistas aumentaron 29% en lo que va del año 2025, revela un informe elaborado por el Observatorio de Personas Defensoras de Derechos Humanos en Chiapas (El Obse).
Morrowind just got even better with the new OpenMW 0.50.0 release, the free and open source game engine reimplementation has some big fancy new features.
Perched on delicate leaves above rushing mountain streams, Centrolene savagei is a rare frog of wonder. The Savage’s Glass Frog, also known as the Savage’s Cochran Frog has translucent …
I'm in the middle of throwing a log on the bonfire crowdfunding campaign. This is one of the most important, creative, and principled projects in open social media. I can't wait to see it flourish! Join me. From: @bonfire indieweb.social/@bonfire/11550…
Bonfire Social 1.0 is live! A federated, community‑first social network built on the modular Bonfire toolkit, and it’s only the beginning.
It's time to go beyond microblogging and build apps for community organising, open science, mutual aid, and collective decision‑making. Let's take back the internet with open protocols, consent‑based governance, and portability by design.

With the Prime Gaming branding being retired, you now claim your monthly Amazon Prime games via Amazon Luna - here's what you can expect for November 2025.
"The moment of discovery" does not always exist: the scientist's work is too tenuous, too divided, for the certainty of success to crackle out suddenly in the midst of his laborious toil like a stroke of lightening, dazzling him by its fire.

This study by my colleagues at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa shows that deep sea mining waste to be released near the ocean surface would disrupt marine food webs.
The same would be true of grinding and spreading rocks in the ocean for CO₂ removal.
Deep-sea mining in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone may release waste into midwaters that support diverse marine life. This study finds such discharges could dilute key food particles and disrupt trophic links from zooplankton to large marine predators.
Valve popularized loot boxes in games in the West, which led many young people to casino analogues, but you still continue to use and advertise their product.
