Just look at that word salad. I bet getting dressed is a real struggle for him

I currently use Gnome on my laptop, but I’ve toyed with returning to KDE for a while. I used KDE briefly back in the v3 and v4 days felt like it was a bit bloated compared to Gnome v1 and v2. Cinnamon is nice but a bit heavyweight on graphics. I should probably return to XFCE or Mate.

Although it is common to use churches as temporary polling places, I wonder how much ballots may be influenced by the location.

I haven’t read the entire article, but this raises some interesting points: https://theconversation.com/voting-while-god-is-watching-does-having-churches-as-polling-stations-sway-the-ballot-144709

Well that was an interesting rabbit hole. There have been a number of new studies in the past decade, and researchers are still investigating the effects of free fructose in sweeteners.

This study is fairly recent: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8188419/

This study notes how the actual amount of fructose varies from the expected amount in popular beverages: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0899900714001920

Every study I read continues to point out that sweeteners with free fructose taste sweeter and have negative health effects in large quantities while stating how results are inconclusive due to excessively caloric intake. I’m still skeptical of HFCS for now.

Yes but I like making cheap jabs at the drink industry.

On a serious note - you’re absolutely right to avoid sugar, and I stopped drinking sweetened beverages many years ago. From what I understand though, people would develop fewer health problems if they consumed cane sugar instead of HFCS. Apparently the unbound fructose makes a difference when consuming sugar at such a high volume.

Sugar or high fructose corn syrup?

Interesting question. I don’t think I’ve ever defended either. I’ve also only lived in capitalist countries, so I have no personal experience with other economic systems.

These remarks could discourage others from reading a useful and well-written article.

I still use GnuPG on occasion, but I’ve benefited from incorporatingsops and age into repositories. They’re pretty slick.

You do you man. I’m just trying to share some information that helped me.

For what it’s worth, some say that PGP is bad and needs to go away. I found that article pretty interesting when learning sops.

Same!

Thanks for the explanation. I’m in the Xennial cohort, and I never could develop an appreciation for gaming lexicons. I know every generation has their slang, but it does add some challenges with a broader audience.

I’m so glad to see some progress at last.

On a side note, I’m not sure what your last sentence means. I keep seeing people use the word “based” but I refuse to look it up 😄.

Noice

Canada works pretty well without them. If you forget your bags though you have to buy more.

Great! Now do other 49.

I’m going to vote for bad idea on this one too. Teenagers make emotional decisions, and I only see this encouraging kids to make bad decisions to receive attention.

Interesting article: https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?ContentTypeID=1&ContentID=3051

In fact, recent research has found that adult and teen brains work differently. Adults think with the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s rational part. This is the part of the brain that responds to situations with good judgment and an awareness of long-term consequences. Teens process information with the amygdala. This is the emotional part.

Dockerfiles act as instructions for the docker (or compatible) CLI to use for building OCI container images. Images may or may not have layers and can be exported as a tarball for inspection (with tools like dive).

Nix provides native support for building container images, and the resulting archive must be loaded using docker load. There is another library (nix2container) that aims for better performance and relies on skopeo for copying the built image to a docker-compatible server, local or remote.

Just wanted to share a some of the information I’ve learned. Cheers!

I currently use NixOS and nix-darwin, and I’ve enjoyed the ride so far. I use flakes with direnv for reproducible development environments, and this has been working out well. I’ve also been impressed with using Nix to build OCI containers.

The learning curve isn’t flat, but the ecosystem is fantastic.

I almost feel bad that I haven’t. I’ve used their documentation for years but never installed the distro. Most recently I’ve been having fun with NixOS.
