  • I just ate wholemeal rice and still would not have guessed rice. 🥴

  • I was overplaying it for comedic effect. 🙃

    My mum makes fruit salad with oranges, apples, bananas and then adds in apple juice to make it blend well.

  • Interesting. I was mainly aware of hot water stressing them, which is where sea currents can play into.

    Apparently, there's even more stressors:

    What stresses out coral? Primarily, increased water temperatures, ocean acidification, pollution, overfishing, and physical damage threaten their survival, causing coral bleaching and ultimately, death.

  • To be honest, I've noticed that with lots of foods. I know what the thing looks like in stores, but I have no idea what it's like in nature.

    Cashews were another recent one, where I never would have guessed what they look like:

  • Excuse me, it's smoothies that are an abomination, if anything.

    You've got beautiful fruit where each bite tastes and feels different, which have long fibers with structural integrity to prevent your stomach from ingesting the sugar all at once, and then you decide:Nah, I'd rather have fruit soup, where the whole thing just has a singular monotonous taste. And where there's nothing to chew. Just sign me up for the retirement home now.

  • I believe, it's a US thing. This is a quote from the official Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA):

    Other Vegetables: All other fresh, frozen, and canned vegetables, cooked or raw: for example, asparagus, avocado, bamboo shoots, beets, bitter melon, Brussels sprouts, cabbage (green, red, napa, savoy), cactus pads (nopales), cauliflower, celery, chayote (mirliton), cucumber, eggplant, green beans, kohlrabi, luffa, mushrooms, okra, onions, radish, rutabaga, seaweed, snow peas, summer squash, tomatillos, and turnips.

    I've read elsewhere that the reason for the DGA to conflate them, is because mushrooms have comparable nutrients to vegetables. So, from a dietary and regulatory viewpoint, it makes some amount of sense. But yeah, I feel like you could have just had a category "vegetables & mushrooms".

  • It also doesn't just look like a tiling WM. OP is using Krohnkite, which actually gives KDE tiling window management.

  • This distinguishes you from some random, semi-anonymous piece of paper or text header.

    It also just gives them a lot more information about who you are as a person. A list of skills or lived experience can be misleading in all kinds of ways. And they only allow inferring personality traits indirectly, like someone with good grades is less likely to be a slacker, but ultimately you don't know.

  • I doubt, it's going to work the same, because trans folks can pretend to be the gender they were assigned at birth for a long time. They won't be happy and they might want to leave the country either way, but if they do so, they're less likely to bring along their whole family, since those won't be persecuted.

  • The nazis' definition of Jewish people had hardly anything to do with religion. They persecuted them based on lineage and pseudoscientific horseshit that was supposed to identify Jewish "genes"...

  • There's no way they actually checked that it works. It includes code for:

    • XDG
    • GNOME
    • "GNOME_old"
    • KDE

    Verifying this would mean logging into several different desktop environments.

    It's also extremely fragile code, running external commands and filtering through various files. There just is no good API on Linux for querying whether the desktop environment is using a dark theme, so it's doing absolutely inane shit that no sane developer would type out.

    Because it's a maintenance nightmare. Because they almost certainly don't actually need to solve this. That's software development 101, to not write code that you don't actually need. But apparently some devs never got the memo that this is because of the maintenance cost, not because you weren't able to generate the code up until now.

  • Yeah, I feel this one. We currently have significantly less dev velocity than the velocity at which requirements come in. So, unless something actually is the highest priority right now, there's a pretty low chance of it ever being worked on.

    And then, yeah, I can be "professional" and say that we'll work on it when we find time for it. That's technically not a lie.But we both know that it's not going to happen, so it's actually better for the customer to take that reality at face value and find another solution.

  • YouTube made a change to their content curation algorithm a few years ago, which favors longer videos, because they can fit more ads into those. As a result, even topics that could be perfectly covered in shortform videos get documentary-length videos.

    But actually creating a densely packed documentary is a lot of work, so instead you get three intros, an unboxing, a tasting and half a life story for a video on how to bake a bread.

  • I choose to believe that it's the human that jumps on the counter in this story.

  • Ah, so you've scripted a whole bunch of stuff with YUM. Then you automatically have the downside that switching over could incur hours of work.

    As much as the software developer in me wants to encourage you to use DNF (or an abstraction like pkcon) for newer scripts, in case they want to remove YUM one day, I get not wanting to deal with two separate tools.

    In my head, switching over was trivial, i.e. just typing D, N, F instead of Y, U, M, because that was my experience when I switched over way back when I was still a freshly hatched penguin.

  • I've always liked Zypper (and if I remember correctly, DNF was also fine), purely because it feels sane in everything it does.

    We love to make a religion out of them, but a package manager is ultimately just a secondary tool. It installs other tools, which are what you're actually interested in using.So, I shouldn't need to learn a scramble of letters to achieve that. I shouldn't need to think about refreshing the repository listing. The less I need to worry about instructing the package manager, the better.

  • There's a section at the end where they're mentioned.

  • No idea, if it has a TUI, but I feel like improved performance should be good enough of a reason to switch, if there are no downsides...

  • You not using any libraries? We have like 1100 animals in our software at work (that we know of).
