I also know less about sound on Linux now. I don't even know if my system is running Pulseaudio or Pipewire. I don't need to know! I consider this an improvement.

As a term of comparison, here's a back of the envelope calculation estimating that 0.18% of the surface is covered by roads and parking areas. https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/comments/zwni88/

I just switched my work computer from a Linux laptop running Gnome (on Wayland, with working drag and drop) to a MacBook Air M2. The hardware is a great improvement, the desktop environment is not.

I mean, you'd typically rinse it pretty thouroughly, I doubt a lot of micro anything remains. I'm not sure pan cleaning is a significant source of overall micro plastics emissions, though I'm open to it.

Huh. Stainless steel is like the perfect cooking surface for searing chicken and salmon. Cleanup is super easy, ten seconds with a steel wool and/or, unique among pans, you can put it in the dishwasher with zero worries.

I was left wondering why only 8% of roofs quality for rooftop solar. I haven't checked the underlying paper, maybe it has an answer.

This is final energy demand and thus presumably includes energy used for heating and transportation that's currently provided via fossil fuels. In fact, that's the point: electrical motors and heat pumps are more efficient, and th

A public lab in Germany found 0.13-1.22 mg/kg lead in turmeric in 2020. The legal limit for vegetables is 0.1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg for nutritional supplements; there is (or was, in 2020) no legal limit for spices. At 1 tsp/day

It's getting less relevant as regular users stop using the filesystem directly and instead rely on proprietary services for their data. Google Drive doesn't rely on file extensions. Though for all I know, Microsoft's web stu

Also: much lower income inequality. Strange, huh. And the average family income was 4400 USD, ie. 50000 USD in 2023, so pretty much the 18000 USD per capita we started with. Shame about the institutional racism, mysoginy, homophobia, etc th

Oh, I don't think my post was advocating anybody give anything away. But if we just arrived there, magically, it would be pretty great, from a utilitarian point of view. But thanks for the knee-jerk anti-communist rant, it's reall

I think it's pretty close, actually. Our family could easily live off that. Easily worth it if it got rid of income inequality. And it'd still increase a percent or two, every year, inflation-adjusted! Thanks for the argument.

Firefox is up against companies like Microsoft, Apple and Google, who are happy to use their dominance in their fields to increase their own browser market share. Microsoft's own attempts are almost pathetically desperate, in fact. So,

People commonly downvote to signal disagreement, and that's not discouraged by the guidelines. There is, however, a rule against complaining about votes.

Once you get into academic linguistics, determining what's a letter and what's a word gets very murky again. And you mostly just don't use those categories and talk about phonemes and utterances instead, ie. sound.

The two featured stories I read were both awful. Bland. Cheesy. Nonsensical. Saccharine. The non-sequitur, occasionally AI-nightmarish illustrations might serve as brief entertainment for a small child. https://www.storybooks.app

Ticketmaster isn't huge in Europe. I think CTS Eventim is the closest equivalent, with a similar share of tickets sold in a few countries, including their home turf, Germany. But I don't think it's comparable, as they're

I wasn't asking for anything. I wouldn't expect much help from Sonos, and, indeed, and the OP got what I'd expect. If pressed, I'd wish at least an aspiring boutique manufacturer like Sonos would make service manuals and

How did they help? Your expensive speaker is still broken. All they accomplished is making it likely to get another direct sale. Anybody can get a 20% discount on almost any Sonos product by buying it retail instead of direct.
