I mean honestly? If you’re not even keeping full cells from the prey, I think we can give it to them. Lil guy, you can photosynthesize. No need to bother them with the asterisks.

That is true, but part of improving our environmental impact will be decreasing that transport of raw materials, localizing chemical industries near the sources of their raw materials.

Oh interesting. My mistake!

Neat, wasn’t familiar with cover your tracks, super useful!

I’ve never had an issue with Flatseal in mint. Out of curiosity, what was your issue?

Oh I understood wikifunctions primarily as a way to operate on wikidata data, I don’t know if that’s right. And you’re right it is publically available, I guess I meant more that few few folks know about it.

Yep! The LD50 is 12.5% in air (higher than I thought, honestly) and yes the issue is that it binds preferentially to hemoglobin.

The main treatment for sub-lethal exposure is just supplying pure oxygen to kick the equilibrium the other way and slowly remove the CO from your system. It won’t all come off, but your body recycles red blood cells pretty quickly, so you’re back on your feet within a few hours and back to normal within a few days. However, there’s no treatment for lethal doses, people have proposed using things like cobalt porphyrins (which bind CO even better than iron hemes) to more quickly sequester the CO from your hemoglobin, but that’s not been trialled yet in humans.

I wasnt aware of its use as a neurotransmitter (but I’m absolutely going to look into it now), but its barely soluble in water so there must be more going on there. just like urea, it’s a natural waste product, and typically one your body wants to get rid of reasonably quickly.

Edit: from a chemical perspective, NO and CO “look” electronically similar to a NO-binding protein, so I expect most of these effects of CO are actually just it activating pathways natively activated by NO.

If it’s a laptop the wireless chipset would be part of the SOC, so I would assume that AMD does some variant of a chipset for that.

Wikidata is so cool, but not really public-exposed. I imagine it’s an incredible research tool though.

Oh interesting! I was reading something recently that said MS had clarified that it was for businesses only, but that must have been an old article.

Seconded. Newsflash does everything I need and looks pretty smooth.

Some toasters can’t.

Well, the size estimate on flathub assumes that you’re installing every dependency, which only happens if it’s the first app you’re installing with this FreeDesktop version, which is rare. I have like 15 flatpak apps installed, all of which had a claimed install of over “1 GB”, but the flatpak install directory is only like 2 or 3 GB.

There’s just not a great way to predict how big an install will actually be from flathub.

Edit: just to give you an idea, since its only downloading the deltas, most of these “1 GB download size” Flatpak apps are downloading less than 100 MB

It says possibly snap, so we can hope…

This isnt available to individuals anyhow, only to schools and businesses.

You can do that but it gets messy fast and it’s almost impossible to uninstall a DE effectively.

Uhhh is that not pretty much the definition of a “tech megacorp”?

Thats a good point. I think its probably because most of the corporations who fund and contribute to the kernel are American, and coordinating financial and physical contributions would be complicated across borders. Just a hypothesis though.

Jeeeeez that was a lot. I get the sense that the kernel has worked as well as it has because people saw it as separate from geopolitics and so didnt discuss them…now that politics has wedged its way in I feel like it may have opened that door permanently.

Yeah, 80-100 Wh with a Lunar Lake or any modern AMD CPU. 35 Wh with meteor lake of all things is a joke.
