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!

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

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.

Yikes that’s almost as bad.

When you’re supposed to choose between siding with the Mages and Templar, it tells you to go back to the war room, which I assume should activate some kind of cutscene…but nothing happens. You just get to choose more missions on the map. I can’t tell how far back it bugged out, even if I go back to before starting that questline, I get the same issue.

From the steam forums, it seems like this has been a known bug since at least the original steam release :/

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

I was playing through Inquisition for the first time earlier this year, and 30h in the main questline broke, and I cant proceed…a real bummer.

It says possibly snap, so we can hope…

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

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 my org is about to ban using anything but the outlook client for email access for “security” reasons, and ban all other logins. We’re on a Kubernetes cluster, so historically you’ve been able to login via Thunderbird or use the Gmail web interface as well.

If they go through with it I will riot.

Um I think it’s worth noting they had only been actually out for a month, and had unfinished firmware, etc.

Qualcomm basically said that if devs wanted to develop for their snapdragon laptops they should buy one of those, but six months after they came out is not a great time to make up your mind about that.

Not familiar with HeliumOS specifically, but for a generic atomic distro I would try layering Python temporarily, and then getting rid of it when you’re done.

In chemistry a lot of the foundational synthesis and work is as old as the 60s and 70s; people build on it, but in some cases those early papers said pretty much all there is to be said on a topic, so there’s no reason to republish on it.

I’ve had to cite papers as old as the late 30s before, because no one has ever found anything to fix or correct about their work! Pretty impressive if you ask me, given how few tools they had.

Truly. Also the springer nature ones load so slowly for absolutely no reason, and break 10% of the time. I really don’t get what their motivation is, do they think that after I’ve said no, I dont want a web version, I will be happy with a different web version?
