I've been using distrobox at work (on RHEL 8, Fedora 16 based) for a while, but the containerization tech (it uses podman) does seem to introduce some extra latency, which is especially painful when using CLI tools such as zoxide, eza and bat.

I'm in the process of switching to Nix, which should have native performance, the largest number of packages, and guaranteed reproducible, deterministic versions.

What a healthy animal, that muscle on the front looking tasty!

If you have any leftovers, such as intestine, and don't know what to do with them, remember you can always sell it to candy manufacturers, they often use animal sources for gelatin.

That way, after having been slaughtered at the healthy age of 3, he can still make kids happy! Haha.

I love barkon btw, plant-based bacon doesn't taste exactly the same

This has me confused.

Temperature can be used to refer to how fast the atoms are jiggling (kinetic or phonon temperature) or to how messy, disordered (opposite of ordered) a system is.

Time dilation is a relativistic effect where time appears to go slower when you are looking at something that has a very high speed (near light speed) compared to you (relative velocity). Can also happen with mass because gravity is acceleration, thus related to velocity.

If the atoms are jiggling slower, relative velocities only shrink, so you'd expect to see less relativistic effect. I am not aware of any relativistic effects due to thermal motion in normal conditions (room temp, atmospheric pressure), so I don't know how they'd appear when relative velocities only decrease.

I am really interested where you got this temperature - time dilation link from. Can't seem to crack it.

Of course!

Well, do still consider how other addicts might feel judged when they realize you quit. It will make them uncomfortable and they'll have to make up excuses.

It might sour your relationship with people who enjoyed using it with you.

Why don't you start with cocaineless Mondays?

How about solidarity with other addicts? If they see you quit, they will feel pressured to also quit, have you thought about that?

I did not realize in advance how much my quitting would hurt the other addicts.

Not quitting fully (either still using on some days or only fully quitting the least popular parts of the addiction) seems to console them a bit.

It's a tradeoff you'll have to make: do you

• .. make other addicts slightly uncomfortable by quitting?
• .. or continue to harm your health, low-wage workers' mental wellbeing, destroy nature and the climate, contribute to pandemic risk and unnecessarily hurt the animals you consume?

It's not an easy choice.

@lemmyrolinga@lemmy.ml I second Bitflip's comment.

F-droid repos are amazing and a must-have, but the default F-droid front-end is not the most user-friendly.

I have been very happy with the Droidify front-end, as have other F-droid users to whom I recommended it

The most mind-blowing moment I've ever had was the course Relativistic Electrodynamics.

If you assume static electricity (charges attract or repel), then apply special relativity to see what the situation looks like to an observer travelling by, you get magnetism!

Turns out half of Maxwell's laws is a direct consequence of the other half once you know about special relativity.

chezmoi does basically that, without actually making your home dir a git repo, it just syncs it. It also supports templating and per-machine differences. Pretty cool really.

Thank God yes. If we couldn't be assholes, who would be left to bring the meat eaters the bad news?

On that note:

Pigs are just as social and sensitive as dogs, and more intelligent.

Why cage and eat one and pet the other?

I wish we'd let all women live out their days without being sent to slaughter when their (yearly) milk production decreases. So humane!

Normally you'd only see the tip of the iceberg, but this..

.. does not accept an arbitrary difference between animals to eat and animals to pet may lead to a kinder world.

All Linux installations use Proton, DXVK and Wine to play Windows games. That is the biggest power of the Steam Deck. The rest is just bonus.

You can launch Big Picture mode on any pc with Steam installed for ease of use with a controller..

Software-wise, if you are using a Linux installation with KDE interface, on an AMD CPU and AMD GPU, and are using a wayland session with gamescope to play games, it is very VERY close to the Steam Deck and you are benefiting from all the optimizations that were made for Steam Deck. Bonus points if the hardware is Ryzen 3000 series and Radeon RX 6000 series.

You probably saw this, but Nexus Mods are asking feedback from Linux users, not just Steam Deck. Because, you know, apart from the sticks, size and touch pads, Steam Deck is just another Linux machine.

Just install Linux on your laptop or desktop.

If you want a hassle-free setup, get Linux Mint, or if you use Nvidia, Pop!_OS.

To get as close to the Steam Deck setup as reasonable, get EndeavourOS with KDE. It is Arch-based and may require maintenance though.

Kubuntu is a good middle ground, with the same desktop interface as SteamOS (KDE) but also pretty hassle-free setup.

F 😢

An animal's ability to feel pain is directly proportional to how cute and fuzzy it is (one to add to the list)

I used to consistently call meat "dead animal", for years. Then I went vegan. I'd say they're doing us a favor by avoiding the euphemism. Emphasize the cognitive dissonance!

Nice clean dark theme! Love the thin top bar.

Lovely!
