In the winter, you get less sunlight into your eyeballs, especially with the closed-off caves we live in these days. Which means your body doesn’t inhibit melatonin production properly. Which means you never properly wake up.

I have a really bright room light to combat that. Daylight lamps for desks are also available. Heading outside around noon is also a good idea.

It might be a consideration, but I would assume they’re doing this, because they can use LLMs to do the rewrite.

Language models are fairly good at translating between languages (so long as the semantics don’t differ too much) and they’re fairly good for building software that already exists, because all the requirements are already defined.

And then Rust just has lots of advantages with the one disadvantage that writing it by hand takes relatively much time. If you’re not writing it by hand, you don’t care about that.

Right, good that you’re here. I phrased it specifically as “anti-scientific”, because of this post of yours:

That’s a strawman argument. The comic makes up a situation that doesn’t happen to rail against scientific consensus. If you find a natural scientist claiming “All X is Y” with full confidence and without using a ton of qualifiers, then don’t talk to them.

Similarly, reading individual scientific papers isn’t very useful. Talk to a doctor for nutrition advice. They spend years learning a condensate of what science has figured out. You’re not gonna catch that up by reading a selection of papers.

Frankly, I would only downvote your comment, because there’s the anti-scientific carnivore community on here and while your take is technically correct, it just sounds like it leads into their horseshit.

Like, no, fibre isn’t a nutrient, but that’s the point. It being indigestible to humans is what makes it great.
It fills up your stomach without adding calories. It physically blocks your stomach acid from digesting food, therefore slowing sugar intake and avoiding excess sugar being put into fat on your hips. And on the way out, it scrubs your insides, which also seems to have tons of benefits. And it just makes your shit slide out very easily, which is also great.

Similarly with carbohydrates. No, they’re not essential, because our bodies are excellent at survival and can also use proteins or fat for energy. But them being essential would only be relevant, if we’re avoiding them completely, for which there’s no reason. Moderation and wholemeal is advisable, sure, but entirely avoiding food with carbohydrates limits your selection and could therefore deprive you of other nutrients.

Yeah, the COSMIC desktop environment is relatively newly developed. I also just checked on the PopOS webpage and their newest version is still 24.04, so you actually tried a version from two years ago when COSMIC was truly newly available.

They’ve been working on the 26.04 release (based on Ubuntu 26.04) since April, but at some point, I read that they’re still also heavily working on fixing up COSMIC to be actually decent, which is why that release is so delayed.

So, it could be that in a few months from now, it’s been released and it won’t be so buggy anymore.
But it still won’t be nearly as customizable as KDE Plasma, as that just requires years of work and a big community, so make of that what you will. 😅

You don’t have to compile it. Just right-click on the panel/taskbar → Add or Manage Widgets… → Get New… (at the top) → Search for “RunCat”…

What distro?

Just in case you’re new-ish to the Linux world: The customizations you mean are probably from KDE Plasma, which Fedora just …well, distributes. 😅

So, if you switched to openSUSE with KDE Plasma or Kubuntu or such, those customization options would still be there.

And yes, KDE is excellent. 🙂

Side-note: Fedora does have its own crash reporter (ABRT), but KDE has one, too (DrKonqi), so you’re right either way…

Be mindful that it’s often just a handful accounts that post this stuff.

Well, alright, it’s actually 36 accounts with the username “cm0002”, but you get the idea.

Started writing a lengthy response, then came across this Wikipedia link which slamdunks it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing#Pros_and_cons 😅
