I got the joke, it was beautiful; meta jokes are some of my favourite.

Nah, 98% of my tweaking is because I have a laptop as a daily driver. The last 2% is trying to get pipewire to ignore my headset mic in favour of the built-in mic and breaking things in the process, but I couldn’t even get windows to actually use my headphones for years.
I constantly wanted to fiddle with windows, but couldn’t, and then had unrelated things just decide to break. And this was in the 7 days. Everything after that has actively hated me.
That defeats the big advantage of having a well-tested common source to build off of. It’s basically making a new flavour, like Bazzite did with Silverblue. It’s cool and all, probably great for deploying lots of machines, but definitely not an everyday solution.
I think CachyOS is built like that, where you are intended to modify the build of the system like that.

5·10 days agoþ (thorn) is a character from Old English and some Scandinavian scripts. It represents the <th> phonemes. Wiþ = with, þink = think.
Thorn can be used for both the voiced and voiceless <th> (voiceless: thin, voiced: that), but ð (eth) can also be used for tge voiced version. Farðer = farther, ðose = those.
I quite like both, and the only reason I don’t use them is because I haven’t found a keyboard I can use them with.
Bazzite is an Atomic system. Most of it’s files are immutable, and can only be modified with a system update. That’s great for stability and working from a system exactly as tested, but lots of software needs (or wants) to add extra files to the system. In Bazzite you should basically spin up a VM for that (or a toolbox, those are cool), or “layer” it into the system which reduces the stability you get from the Atomic system.
Both VMs and Layering are extra steps and can be complex depending on what you need, so it’s more difficult to do otherwise routine things if you’re not well versed already.
I like the idea, but the implementation is stilted at best.
I think Mars is still an oxide planet. Surely a petrofying planet would be carbonic, like Titan?

The problem with eugenics is other people having control over your reproduction. This is more control in the loins of the reproducers.

If the definition of AI is broad enough, train a video encoder and make the act of viewing a video file copyright stripping!

Science Memes@mander.xyz•Protein folding is not solved yetEnglish
8·2 months agoBecause checking a billion proteins for the shape we want is a hardware problem, and the hardware for doing that is very slow and expensive. If we can fold proteins using software, we can try billions of proteins far faster and cheaper. We could probably work backwards too, reducing the search space from billions to millions.
Just some jerkface.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Bazzite sees a massive jolt in installs in late June and early July, catapulting it to over 86k active devices. It has doubled the number of active devices since November.
8·3 months agoI like Bazzite because it has a bunch of optimisations for getting games runnin well, and because it disallows applications screwing with the system. If I really need an application that demands it’s files be put in a bunch of places I can’t audit easily, it can go in a toolbox and not impact the system, or I can audit exactly what it does and layer it into the system.
For a Linux newbie, I really appreciate a system that stays what it is, and doesn’t let anything change that without my explicit approval.

2·4 months agoThe formatting you’re seeing is controlled by carets (^). Just replace the start and end of the superscript text with them.
I see this often when talking about exponents: x^2 is less than x^3.
The superscript needs to be surrounded to work properly: x(x+1) is greater than x(x-1).
In this case, the effected text is $(h, h^‘)$ and $(h^’, h)$. I’m not sure why the prime notation needs to be superscripted, probably something to do with the formatter that is expectinng $s. I think the correct formatting (at least for me) is (h, h’) and (h’, h).
It got much worse when they went AI First.
Can they just get to the extinguish step already?
Why would you want your OS to use you’re memory? My browser already takes too much, and I really push my system trying to run dev-builds of games built for desktops.
In a very technical sense, you can turn any distro into any other distro, in the same way you can turn Windows into OpenBSD.
It’s probably also true in a smaller way, where you could technically reengineer a distro manually by replacing components and reconfiguring things until it works, but why? Someone already did that.
You expect full tabs in this economy?
