    I can’t taste the breed in market milk, but I could differentiate most cows just by taste of milk from my family’s farm. I can still tell the difference between brands and seasons.

    Market milk tastes kinda devoid of personality. But it is still milk. Just that milk from hundreds of cows gets mixed together





  • Flameshot works on Wayland (atleast on KDE)

    Gnome is just being stupid in hardcoding an exception for only its own tool under the guise of privacy.

    And yeah, it’s complicated, but it’s fast for power users. Maybe it’s no frills design makes it appear more complicated and as a other comment states, maybe there’s a way to uncomplicate it (but I totally understand if you don’t want to use it)






  • Without context this link is just bad. Plant growth will not reduce CO2 levels because biosphere is temporary store or carbon (since it is a part of the carbon cycle)

    We are putting carbon (into the atmosphere) that was previously buried. So putting a tiny bit of it back into plants doesn’t help because:

    • those plants will die and release the carbon back
    • the number of plants added is inconsequential compared to the deforestation
    • the number of plants needed to offset additional carbon is humongous

    X code is convoluted, so much so that the maintainers didn’t want to continue. AFAIK, no commercial entity has put any significant money behind Xorg and friends. Potentially unmaintained code with known bugs, unknown CVEs and demands for permission system for privacy made continuing with Xorg a near impossibility.

    If you don’t want new features and don’t care about CVEs that will be discovered in future as well as the bugs (present and future), then you can continue using Xorg, and ignore all this. If not, then you need to find an alternative, which doesn’t need to be Wayland

    Oh, and you might need to manage Xorg while other people and software including your distro move onto something else.

    So yeah, “xorg bad” is literally the short summary for creating Mir and Wayland




  • That’s why it’s interesting that inverse square is in electrostatic and gravitational forces only. Weak and strong force don’t follow inverse square. And we don’t see the highly complex organization inside the nucleus that we see outside it (otherwise we’d have stable orbits inside the nucleus as well)


  • Bertrand’s theorem states that stable orbits are only possible for one single inverse distance relation (in classical mechanics): inverse square

    If the law is not inverse square (or harmonic oscillator), there will be no long lasting orbits, no galaxy clusters, no galaxies, no star systems, no planet and moon pairs.

    If the electrostatic force wasn’t inverse square, electromagnetic force would look much different. No gauss law would be possible.

    Inverse square relationship is really neat
