I found kde-neon to be more stable than Kubuntu, and it has a weird mix of rolling release and LTS. That is, it stays on LTS (22.04 currently) but regularly releases updates to the window manager. They're Ubuntu based, but it's ea

I guess I know why you're getting downvoted. Saying Twitter is at death's door is like saying that sanctions are going to crush Russia any day now. People really really want to believe it despite all the evidence. Twitter is very

If LLM organizations are free to throw billions at hardware they can spare a paltry €50 million for 10 million e-books though, right?

Exactly this, especially as journalism melts down into slag. Soon all anybody will have to train on is social media, Wikipedia and GitHub, and that last one will slowly be metastasized by AI-generated code anyway. It reminds me of 1984 in a

An interesting way to affect gut bacteria is to get a fecal transplant. It doesn't look fun, and I don't know how well it works, but I bet that's the direction to go. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health&#x2

Hey just wanna say I was sick yesterday, so if I was a schmuck I apologize. I think we actually agree on most of the things, and even as I was posting responses I was like, "... there's something hypocritical here but I can't

Right, so it sounds like it's working then given how much people are starting to care about them in this sphere. We can laugh at that (like I like to do with everything from Facebook's React to Zuck's MMA training), or you ca

If it is preachy it uses very few words to preach. In fact it only mentions Amazon once, and that's to highlight the average pay of an Amazon warehouse worker.

The one wrinkle in this, to me, is that Trump spent four years as President already. Full disclosure: I despise the guy and wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire, BUT ... what if he saw a bunch of waste in his first run and therefore

I mean maybe you're right. Maybe people are like, "Oat milk is so different than almond milk that I am going to pay twice the price." I'm like uhhh it's white, vegan, and I can dunk a cookie in it. I'll buy wha

That's how the term is used in the U.S. as well, when history classes describe "settlers" who wiped out the Native Americans who lived here through genocide, germ warfare, regular ol' warfare and displacement. I think in

This is cool. It would be pretty easy to add the domains from this list to Kagi's blocked domain list and have it integrated in the search without a plugin. The downside obviously is having to update that list from the repo, but still,

Blarg, you're getting downvoted just for explaining your reasoning. We're a community, the flag feature is there for a reason, and near as I can tell it's fairly proofed against misuse. I don't agree with your assessment

This is what drives me crazy about oat milk. Oats grow everywhere. Almonds, on the other hand, take a gallon of water per almond to make[1]. Despite this, at my store anyway, almond milk is about $2.89/half gallon while oat milk is at
