Yeah, the kurzgesagt episode on meat production did note that overall cows have a pretty good life right up until the final fattening feed lots which is pretty bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sVfTPaxRwk They did note

Even if food shortages aren't an issue, reducing the amount of land dedicated to food production is a win for ecosystems. Not saying people have to go vegetarian, but reducing meat consumption or using more efficiently produced meats (

Soybeans do pretty well a lot more efficiently. Not perfect, naturally, but close, and other stuff can cover gaps. Obviously not all land is good for crops, but a lot of land used for animals or animal feed could be used for crops.

At least Xitter has Nitter proxies after they went full Javascript - which is also great since it allows accessing content that's often behind a registration wall.

I also like the powerful revision querying mechanisms that they pulled in from mercurial. They seem to work just like mercurial revset queries which can be used in various operations on sets of revisions. I would like them to have mercur

I've had the ctrl-a setup ever since migrating from screen to tmux, just due to muscle memory. But it is more conveniently located than ctrl-b - it's also rather nice if I have multiple nested layers of tmux due to temporary ones

Most of our servers are Debian (well, mine are Devuan) but there are a few that have to be Ubuntu or Redhat for official support of COTS. Of those choices, I prefer Ubuntu as being closer to the Debian/Devuan ones.

It is possible to just not use snap on ubuntu. The few ubuntu servers we have, even the couple with a minimal XFCE interface for some gui pieces, don't have snap installed. I realise local exploits happen all the time, but why add a w

Our corporate linux machines have exactly the same monitoring software as Windows - even the servers. The performance is still not even remotely comparable. Could be the hooks are more performant on linux, could be the filesystem, maybe th

Could it possibly be that it wasn't the drive, but maybe the import application? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45274277 (Apple Photos corrupts images on import - images truncated)

My mom's been installing Ubuntu on her own. I've not been involved in the process and have no remote access to the machine to even fix the snap situation. At home, I run a mix of Devuan and Gentoo. At work, primarily Devuan with

I agree. I was putting a shout out for MATE as the option for those who want a predictable traditional UI since it is essentially the long-term maintenance of GNOME 2. When GNOME 3 was first released, I gave it an honest try for several mon

My family switched to Gnome 2 a couple of decades ago. My mother quite liked it and has consistently installed it on every new computer she bought. Her only confusion lately has been with the ubuntu snap packages and how they behave betwe

Well, there's also burning regular fuel in a fuel cell, a FCEV. That doubles the efficiencies over ICE, so I guess that bumps it back up to 8x away? Given the great energy densities and stability in transport of hydrocarbons, there&#x

Alright, now I'm doubly confused, since the search bar is typically on the address bar which is at the top of the screen. You might want to test a clean profile. Perhaps some customisation along the way changed things on your setup.

As well as contrast issues, could also be that there was a javascript error on their end (or they don't whitelist sites for JS by default). This is unfortunately one of those sites that renders a completely blank page unless you use r

If you're talking about url/search bar at the bottom on mobile, that's customisable - actually they ask you which you prefer when you install it, but you can change it at any time in settings. (personally I prefer all that st

From wikipedia... UTF-8 always has the same byte order,[5] so its only use in UTF-8 is to signal at the start that the text stream is encoded in UTF-8... Not using a BOM allows text to be backwards-compatible with software designe

Git's plumbing also kinda sucks (in places). Some of the current limitations of jj in what syncing state between repos is due to things missing from git that they are having a hard working around, at least based on what I've seen

This is why Firefox chose to implement a custom PDF reader in pure JS for better sandboxing leveraging the existing browser JS sandboxing. As a side effect, it's been a helpful JS library for embedding PDFs on websites. The Chrome PDF

Interesting. First I've heard of Xwiki - it does look nice, and what with Atlassian's price increases... do you have any migration tips? [edit] I found https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/E

Amusingly, exactly opposite experience here. That said, our on-prem is jira and confluence integrated with db on same machine, and apache in front doing additional caching. I imagine like so many things it is how you set it up...

Checking the Firefox bugs on this, it seems they decided to replace the C++ libjxl with a rust version which is a WIP, to address security concerns with the implementation. All this started a few months ago. Maybe the zen fork is a bit old

I suspect that applies specifically to their cloud rewrite which was apparently a bloat of JS libs and hundreds of requests even by Atlassian standards. The on-prem self-host Confluence I've used is still pretty snappy and pleasant to

It definitely uses whatever is available, but on review of the models (and there are quite a few) the ones I checked included instructions for integrating into linux speech engines. What your distro uses by default might be espeak-ng, but y
