Many people never give it a thought and just stick to the model of solar system itself. So, planets move in a circle, forever and ever…right?

Bisexual confirmed

First of all, welcome! Hope you’ll like it here.

Politics surely seems to drown the regular conversations at times. But some niche communities are quite active! Places like !newcommunities@lemmy.world , as well as general search might be of great help in finding your gems.

As per federation and stuff, I think Mastodon of all places does a more or less decent job on boarding new users, and Lemmy has a lot to learn from it.

Regardless, the core idea is that there are plenty of various interconnected physical servers operated by different people. A simple and rough analogy is e-mail, which is actually also federated. You may have your mailbox somewhere like Gmail, and I can have mine in Outlook or even host my own (and you can do that with Lemmy, too). But we’ll be able to write to each other like if we use same service.

Here, everything is organized in a way as to allow not only private communication, but public discussion. Posts and comments are public and can be seen by everyone from the server the post is made on.

For example:

• You connect to a server under the lemmy.ca domain. So, some Canadian guy just rents/owns a physical server and puts Lemmy software on it.
• I connect to rekabu.ru, hosted by a guy somewhere in Russia. Same idea.
• The post is in the community on the lemmy.world server, which is a third one.
• Our servers connect to lemmy.world, where the post is made, and exchange information with it. My server sends my comments, your server sends yours, and so we can see each other despite connecting to different places.
• Should I send you a direct message instead, it will go straight from rekabu.ru to lemmy.ca, just like e-mail. And vice versa.

Some Lemmy apps (and probably frontends, too) have filter settings allowing you to remove any mentions of various political figures to focus on what matters.

But yeah, Lemmy and most of Fediverse really need the influx of regular folks and regular topics.

This part is important too! Fediverse is remarkably active for its user count, and that’s its strength!

The point here is not racism - there’s nothing wrong about having Filipina wife - but the bitter irony and oddity of someone working to deport immigrants while the person closest to him is one. Doesn’t he worry that one day, his own very team will be dispatched to send her to Alligator Alcatraz?

This is mostly shared as an arrogant statement towards laymen, but really, it’s a reminder for scientists themselves

No matter what you think or believe your experiment should yield, reality check is always waiting around the corner.

Nice, when seen in this light!

First, what it really measures is not the rate of monogamy (as in being with one partner at a time), but the rate at which animals only mate with one other animal throughout life, without contraception (which humans have).

Second, I wonder how culture shapes the score for humans. A lot of monogamous behavior in humans is shaped not by natural drive to stick to one partner, but by culturally defined repercussions for going out with someone else.

Ambulance should be dispatched in all such cases regardless of severity, because, first, you never know the extent of damage, second, even in case of a fatality, a doctor must confirm death and direct the body for autopsy.

Eventually, it was dispatched by ICE officials themselves, but in a way that thoroughly prevented any attempt to save the victim’s life. Citing the article:

After the shooting, Callenson said a neighbor identifying himself as a doctor asked if he could render aid to the woman who shot but was told by ICE agents to stand back. She said emergency responders’ vehicles couldn’t get past ICE vehicles, so firefighters and other first responders had to walk to the injured woman.

So, they basically made all they legally could (they MUST call ambulance) to ensure she dies anyway. This was possibly preventable.

What rings odd to me is that witnesses on the video are screaming “shame” and “what the fuck” instead of getting out of sight and calling ambulance ASAP. Odd priorities and highly dangerous behavior, given the situation, and speaks as a red flag that we may not know everything.

But then again, maybe it’s a state of shock, or I don’t know something about America.

It’s in the context of her eating ass

Makeup can do this and much more

Nice poker mates you got there

But really, the world is small :)

Nah it’s about the alt text to a Wikipedia article, which is itself inside the screenshot linked as a picture.

Entry point: Manjaro. Yes, many will tell it’s not super stable in the long run, but since you plan on jumping from one to the other, this doesn’t matter. What does matter is that it’s simple, fast, and gets you up to speed with latest Linux developments without any stress. It’s easy, it’s fun, and you can go anywhere from there

After some experience: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. This thing is a tinkerer’s paradise. Solid foundation and the newest software, snapshots beautifully configured by default so you could unwind everything, and no unnecessary guardrails so you can do whatever you want. However, it expects the user to know at least a little of what they’re doing, so it’s not a novice choice.

Take all the time in the world!

Photon is doing just fine, and it’s a good time to focus on the backbone of the project.

Cell biologists: hey, that smells good

Microbiologists working with YPD, MRS etc.: kill me

Followed through until the doom and gloom. Organize!

The problem I see with it is that we’ve gone the full circle.

First games loaded slow on HDDs, but SSDs solved it.

Then, seeing how SSDs are faster, game developers decided they could fit more read/write operations.

Now games load slow on SSDs.
