  • "baked" pun intended maybe?

  • Neon is still alive and well but there's going to be another reference implementation of KDE coming soon so I'm getting worried.

  • How do I deal with someone who's been shitting in front of my house?

  • You could buy a toy camera. Pretty sure most people don't want to shit in front of a camera

  • Zohran Mamdani hires car-hating activist Ben Furnas for NYC transportation team: ‘War on drivers’

  • Where can I enlist for this war on cars?

    Either way I read the article and I absolutely love everything they are saying Furnas is going to do.

    I want to highlight a thingy in the article, NYT mentions "What about the mobility of seniors?" like they are all allowed to drive or have someone to drive them around if not.

  • A lot of guides can get overly technical but keyboards usually have a pretty standardised BT connection and all keyboards I've used have worked. Did you look up the manual and see if you need to put it into pairing mode/make it discoverable/reset it to connect to another device?

    If yes, you should provide the keyboard model so people here can help you with it.

  • I've been using boost for the past year, and I just switched to Summit last week. Recommend trying it out.

  • Yeah, in general Gnome feels more like an entry point for Mac users and the default experience is super polished. KDE has made massive stability improvements and they don't do the whole fiasco that 4.0 was anymore. I really like that it's more oriented towards people who like a lot of settings to play with and you can pretty much make your own desktop UI without installing a bunch of less supported extensions.

    I currently jammed everything into a small bar at the top with a global menu, tasks, system tray, clock and quick notes, set up shortcuts for loads of stuff and removed the title bar. My screen space probably is the biggest I've seen and I feel like other people are in toolbar hell, lol.

  • The system continues to work as intended

  • Nice, let's I'm going to nerd out a bit more.

    I'm happy you mentioned game theory since it has also a naïve econ type issue. The prisoner's dilemma is a bad example of game theory since the game is only played one time. One time a bunch of guys decided to do a game theory tournament where they made bots play tons of games against each other and see which one does best. To the researcher's surprise the sample "Tit for tat" approach was the best, it just did whatever the opponent did last.

    And of course people sometimes conflate Economics with hard science when it's a social science. We can't just make an alternate universe and run an experiment to see which policy creates the most GDP growth or whatever people are measuring.

    Also, assuming homo economicus is an accurate representation of humans just doesn't work, but it does make the math a lot simpler. It's the issue with economic models is that a simple model doesn't accurately reflect society and a complex model, although a better simulation, is a lot harder to analyse and draw conclusions from. The superhuman homo economicus can assign monetary value to everything, is aware of all choices and can rank them accurately according to each choices utility. Nobody does that, everyone makes a shit purchase every now and then.

    Economics is great but it's soooo incredibly oversimplified to the point where people are making claims that are opposite to what economics is actually teaching.

    Btw, have you checked out Money & Macro on YouTube/Nebula? It's a channel from a professor in economics and he's really good at getting into the economic nuances of current events.

  • I have 1065 Ti without any issues. The "nvidia not compatible" sentiment is outdated and they started playing ball recently by working on open source drivers. Nvidia is huge in the AI space and AI computing is pretty much 100% Linux.

    There are gaming issues though on Linux in the form of anti-cheat systems, but other than that running things with Steam Proton just works although specific games that use obscure windows APIs might not be as performant.

    Dirt 3 used the NTsynch for the NTFS filesystem and once it got fixed the frame rate saw a massive jump for example.

    Long term people are supporting Linux gaming a lot more since it's already 3% of the playerbase and requires pretty minimal effort for added 3% audience to make Steam Proton play work. Also with the release of the Steam Machine 2026 is going to be the Year of the Linux Desktop™

  • The defaults are more similar to Windows, Gnome is really good too, more aesthetically pleasing also IMO.

  • Mint 100% to start with, install Nvidia drivers if you have an Nvidia graphics card. Install and run a game though Steam or whatever and if all the hardware works and you can get the refresh rate you want you're good to go.

    If not, install Fedora KDE and do the same.

    If you still have issues on Fedora make another post here with some hardware details and say what you tried.

  • You don't really need to be bleeding edge to have some hardware issues or Cinnamon Mint. Their wayland transition is still ongoing so HDR, variable refresh rate, fractional scaling and maybe some bugs for specific hardware might be present. X11 has also seen a lot less love recently after the major distros stopped actively supporting it.

    KDE has nailed the Wayland transition so moving to Fedora KDE would have fixed Wayland/X11 bugs.

  • I use KDE neon, I'd never recommend it to my friends though because quirks pop up every now and then and disappear after a couple of weeks.

    I'd tell them to use Kubuntu which is just much more stable and is the same thing without quirks.

    I considering moving to Hyperland on Arch which I'd recommend even less.

  • Worst of all is that negative and positive externalities are also taught in Econ 101 but they are almost never mentioned by these types.

    TL;DR For positive/negative externalities: Company produces pollution, pollution negatively affects the economic value of things outside of the company's business (e.g. kills fish in rivers), company most efficient process should be produce less at higher price.

    This means the supply/demand curve can be shifted with taxes (called Pigovian taxes) to correct the supply/demand curve so it accurately reflects the value of broader society. Conversely a healthy population is more productive so subsidising healthcare makes sense since creates more benefits than the benefit of the consumer and entity providing it.

    Taxes and subsidies can be an effective tool to adjust the supply/demand curve to maximise the benefit of society as a whole in many cases when used aggressively enough.

    You can effectively solve climate change pretty easily by taxing emissions from fossil fuels and providing the entire amount as energy subsidies. This way renewables get a massive advantage from the energy subsidies at no cost to the tax payer. You can count on the market to min/max based on the rules.

    These types still go "Hurr durr, bUt ThE dEaDwEiGhT lOsS".

  • Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response

    Jump

  • Sure, the study would be best if we did a randomised double blind study on a sample of 100 people that all are going to get a tattoo anyway but that doesn't make the mouse study irrelevant.

    Mice and humans, although very different in appearance have biomechanics that are very similar. For every human study you could make a 20 mouse studies with the same funding so you could do a lot more exploration.

    This study found something, notably that ink in the blood affected the immune system. This just means that future studies are needed like injecting people with tattoo ink and blood samples diagnosis after tattoo to see how much ink is in the blood. If confirmed this will push tattoo ink manufacturers to develop a new ink that eliminates the effect and we can all enjoy safer more effective tattooing.

    This study is not flawed, it's pushing human knowledge forward like it always does.
