@aeratis @KarolusWangus No he's making a different point
>The familiarity people have with the sun makes them careful; sunburn rates were lower because they were in the sun more.

>The availability of convenient unreliable protection reduces the use of inconvenient, reliable ones

@DeHumanitas @KarolusWangus That’s what he’s saying. Learn to read

Shirts. What changed is shirts. People back in the day wore long sleeve shirts and hats and shit to cover up. Amish still do. Dimwitted white collar types like me today halfheartedly roll on a lil' sunblock. Nobody who actually deals with the sun underestimates it.
Sama Hoole@SamaHoole
Sunburn rates before 1900: minimal, despite people working outdoors 12 hours a day in fields, on boats, on roofs. Sunburn rates after 1900: epidemic, despite air conditioning and office cubicles and SPF 50. What changed? The fat in the food. Your skin is built from the fats you eat. Saturated fat is stable under UV light. Polyunsaturated fat oxidises rapidly the moment the sun hits it. Eat seed oils → PUFA gets built into skin cell membranes → UV light strikes unstable fat → oxidation → sunburn. Eat saturated fat → stable membranes → UV tolerance climbs → natural sun protection from the inside out. Your great-grandfather worked in fields all day on butter, lard, and dripping. He didn't burn. He didn't reapply anything. He didn't own a hat with a UPF rating. You eat sunflower oil for 50 weeks of the year, then go to Spain for one and come back looking like a boiled lobster. The sun hasn't changed. The sun is the same sun. What changed is your cell membranes. They're now made from industrial fat that combusts under UV exposure like cooking oil left in a hot pan. Carnivores consistently report dramatically improved sun tolerance. Not because meat contains SPF. Because saturated fat builds UV-resistant skin. You've been blaming the sun for damage caused by what you ate 18 months ago.

@RalphCorderoy @esrtweet If you're using btrfs already, it's not really overhead. Though I wouldn't use btrfs

@DeHumanitas @esrtweet Eric, Vitry is right: Arch Linux rarely breaks given their testing repo's. Snapper sounds like an unneeded overhead/constraint. Arch also provide an archive of old package versions with wiki instructions for 'rewinding'. #Testing_repositories" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wiki.archlinux.org/title/Official…

Question for the X hivemind:
I'm seriously considering switching my main machine from Pop!_OS (a reskinned Ubuntu) to Arch, probably CachyOS.
The reason is I'm attracted to the rolling-release concept. Getting really tired of waiting 6 months for my development tools to upgrade after they ship.
I understand the downside: Arch doesn't protect me from upstream breakage. The plan to deal with that is to install snapper so I can revert to an earlier, working version of my system if things go badly awry.
If you think there are any reasons this is a really bad plan, tell me now.
English
@jayeleven0 @esrtweet I assume it's an aur package. When libraries update, the software needs to be recompiled to point to the new addresses. (perl is often a culprit.) Aur package managers should recompiled automatically, if the dependencies were properly specified in the PKGBUILD.
English
@esrtweet Very minor utilities need a remove/reinstall occasionally on Arch. The input remapper for my MMO mouse breaks on updates sometimes but its easy to fix. Cachy is probably the smoothest Arch experience you can get right now, I love it. I've never had an update break my system.

@CoughsOnWombats @NarcoNeocon @Will_Tanner_1 Moreso that you can tell.
He's playing out the story repeated over and over in Jewish history. A bunch of people use rules-lawyering to throw their country under the bus for personal profit, before God smites them all, and they return to following the rules as intended.

“America can’t reindustrialize because Mr Schwartz wants to resell wine at a huge markup”
New York Magazine@NYMag
As a small-business owner, wine importer Victor O. Schwartz has plenty of reasons to dislike the president’s policies. For almost 40 years, Schwartz has owned and operated VOS Selections, an importer and distributor of fine wines from 16 countries. Tariffs on wine have frustrated his industry since 2018, making the already heavily taxed business of sourcing from small farms and importing bottles from abroad more expensive. When Trump’s second-term tariffs were first announced last April, it looked like an even worse disaster for American wine importers than the first term. But the tariffs were also when he realized, unlike so many frustrated by Trump, he had an opportunity to do something. The weekend after the announcement of the tax on imports, a relative mentioned that their law professor, Ilya Somin, had put out a call for plaintiffs to challenge the tariffs. Somin a ragtag crew of small businesses who wanted to file a case against the administration: a tackle store on Lake Erie in Pennsylvania, a pipe manufacturer in Utah, a women’s cycling brand in Vermont, the maker of a banana-shaped synth in Virginia, and, eventually, Victor Schwartz and his wine-importing business. Within a few days, Somin, together with attorneys from the Liberty Justice Center, asked Schwartz to be the lead plaintiff. Read more from Matt Stieb’s conversation with Schwartz about how he and his fellow plaintiffs overturned Trump’s tariffs and earned a $166 billion refund: nymag.visitlink.me/tfzyVs

@dieworkwear @Libuse_Carodej Writers find writing easy. Lovecraft wrote some 100,000 letters of correspondence over <20 years
English
@Libuse_Carodej since you joined twitter on dec 2022, you've tweeted 195,700 times. assuming you sleep 8 hours a day, that's about 162 times per day. or roughly a new tweet every four mins, every day, for the last four years.
how do you have time to be a writer?
English
@Libuse_Carodej @dieworkwear Your reply reads naturally, unlike the OP, and the style I've also noticed elsewhere. I think it's an AI thing, because I saw it showing up everywhere at the same time.
English
@dieworkwear I sort of see your point, but much prefer broken up sentences to ACTUAL blocks of text.
As a writer, journalist, & sometime page designer, I can tell you that space between text makes the text more likely to be read.
Perhaps stick to your own expertise, which is considerable.
English
Why do people write tweets like this?
Where every sentence gets a new line.
Sometimes a line might have two sentences. Like this one.
But generally speaking, every sentence has a new line, making a tweet look like a long block of text that no one reads.
Worse still, such tweets are often repetitive and winding, hammering on the same point over and over again.
The writing is often very bad.

@DKruegerAuthor but we are just ingesting chemicals
English
It's interesting that America's stricter food labeling laws have caused people to think the food here has a lotta "chemicals" in it that other countries don't have.
I would think people would want more comprehensive ingredients lists but ig not.

@Rightanglenews Whenever I'm doing some observing at night using my telescope, some people use a laser pointer to mark locations. I've always been weary because I didn't want to accidentally even do this.
This dude just did it brazenly.

A Portland leftist who shined a high-powered laser at a CBP helicopter, Brian Nepaial, has pleaded guilty to federal charges and now faces up to 45 years in prison and a $5 million fine.

Yes. What I'm saying is that you need a different build for every system you support, (or statically link, or containerize, but those have their own usability issues). Ubuntu 22.x needs a different glibc linked from Ubuntu 24.x, needs a different one from redhat 9.6, etc.
It's easy to support the OS you're using. It's a pain in the ass to set up building and testing for a dozen other OSes. There's no good one-size-fits-all solution. So I'm not critical of an open-source dev who hasn't spent a week packaging builds and another week figuring out why Windows is loading the dll a guy installed to C:\system32 on accident with a game from 1998, instead of the dll in the same directory.
English
@DeHumanitas @planefag You can pass compiler flags that change the linker's behavior. Every major compiler (GCC, Clang, etc) supports cross compilation on just about every major platform (except maybe iOS, I'd have to check), and there are even more community-made extensions.
English
THEN WHY DO DEVS USE IT FOR DISTRIBUTING APPLICATIONS YOU NUMBNUTS MOTHERFUCKER
gabe@ggetzie
@planefag Github is for sharing code, not distributing applications.
English
@LogisticanofGod @planefag I was assuming the use of those. Basically impossible without.
Doesn't solve the linking problem when distribution binaries compiled for a different library version.
English
@DeHumanitas @planefag Cross-platform libraries, frameworks and runtimes exist which can easily be recompiled for different target architecture. Use macros for conditional compilation.
English
@RealCyng31 @smurfpappa123 @Neko_Tet Your response almost made me want to stop publishing my work open-source, to spite you. You are complaining that people working for free aren't working enough.
But perhaps it's more spiteful to leave it up, knowing you're too dumb to figure out how to compile it.
English
@smurfpappa123 @Neko_Tet They're willingly putting their software out there for free. This would be like going up to someone's house, offering to mow the lawn for free, then dumping the bag out on their driveway and saying "what, you expected me to clean up too? fuck you." Just petty as hell.
English
This is my argument with every """"helpful"""" Linux page out there.
If I want to install a program, if you publish a program and claim it is installable, it should be able to be installed.
Not built. Not made. Not "search 900 really odd dependancies".
Either a file, or a package manager command. That's it. anything else is like throwing flour sugar butter and eggs on a plate and calling it a cake. Nah. It's a pile.
Fuck your tarball. Fuck your git clone.

@_thisgamesucks @planefag Need a different build for every major version of the same locked-version distro if you want to be nice. Or a 100MB binary if you don't. Rolling-release distros are easier, ironically. And that's better than the god-awful mix of dynamic and static linking that Windows uses.
English
@newosphere @goblinodds My idea was to do a reversible transform to the map based on population density, (so that area = population) before trying to minimax per-district polarity (as a proxy for shared interests).
English
So ReCom is a good approach to scoring maps as in or out of distribution. I came up with a method that just takes in population and the shape of the state and it gives pretty decent maps. Basically I'm pouring unmixable liquids into a pan where depth is pop and pressure balances the boundaries. Not really confident in the specifics yet, but there are reasonable ways to draw maps algorithmically that are in line with good scores of when things are bs or not. Personally I think compactness scores are good for detecting obvious bs, but bad at comparing similarly good maps. Sometimes the pop do just be on a line, word up to Neom.

@d0ttiecom I have to interject: crocodilians aren't green. Their scales are black. The only way they can appear green is if they are covered in algae.
