Afaik people don’t trust the in house desktop environment they’re still developing. It’s not mature yet, but pop uses a stable release model. That’s the biggest thing besides snaps? I can’t remember if they use snaps but everyone hates on snaps a lot.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an interesting etymology for a common term?
3·9 hours agoThanks ☺️! I’m glad you like it! It blew my mind when I first learned it.
It probably is for all of us. I can understand the first order effects of a 20% shortage for the world, and missing ⅓ of it’s fertillizer. The nth order effects I have no idea.
I’ve been buying more canned food, multiple bags of rice and different beans. Where I live 99% of our grid comes from hydro power so I’m not worried about blackouts. I’m buying stuff I normally eat anyways (sprats and sardines. Tuna/salmon snacks. Canned soups) and stockpiling since prices keep going up…
I keep hearing end of July, early August, but the very latest by September will be when the full shock hits in its entirety.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some good alternatives to android these days?
5·9 hours agoFYI you should switch to morphe instead of revanced. All of the maintainers left revanced after a falling out with OsumAtriX (or however you capitalize it) who was apparently toxic and impossible to work with.
Morphe is updated daily and is lightyears ahead of revanced. Revanced has been copying code wholesale without attribution from morphe (including typos. No attribution is a GPL violation) so morphe DMCA’d revanced (which might get both projects killed… Not wise IMO but they did it…)
Anyways, morphe is the bees knees and revanced is basically abandonware at this point due to lack of maintainers. Osum is so toxic people who want to help can’t stand him and just go to morphe.

371·13 hours ago“Helicopter” isn’t heli - copter
It’s helico - pter.
Helico: Greek for helix or spiral.
Pter: Greek for wing, like a pterodactyl.

science@lemmy.world•Artery widening, not blockages, linked to common strokeEnglish
4·21 hours agoA stroke is caused by one of two things:
-
A blood clot blocking an artery feeding part of your brain
-
A blood vessel rupturing (aneurysm rupture) that causes pressure to build inside or against your brain, squeezing blood vessels shut like a pressure bandage.
Both of them cause a lack of oxygenated blood to the brain, and treating one type makes the other worse.
As an aside: the city I used to live in had an ambulance with a CAT scanner in it that would be dispatched to suspected strokes. They could diagnose whether it was 1 or 2 and treat it right away.
As to why arterial widening causes lacunar strokes, the article didn’t make it clear how or what small vessel disease is.
Gas exchange also doesn’t happen in your arteries or veins, but in your capillaries. Your capillaries are small enough to just barely fit a single red blood cell (the RBC often need to bend to fit through) and that close contact of RBC and capillary wall allows fast and near complete gas exchange. The tightness of a capillary is a feature, not a bug. So it could be that you don’t have consistent contact with the same RBC for long, and mostly are in contact with blood plasma?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What questions do interviewers need to stop asking during a job interview?
4·2 days agoThe other thing businesses do that should be illegal is target “high cost” employees.
Their healthcare insurance provider will provide them a monthly report and if you suddenly start $1 million worth of chemo it shows up in next month’s bill. The insurance provider doesn’t tell them who it is by law, but they DO tell them it’s costing the company a ton and hiking their monthly premiums. in a company of 100 people it’s not hard to figure out who it is…
Yep same. Got a 3 day ban for jokingly saying they should have tested a mk-48 torpedo on the hantavirus cruise instead of letting them scatter to the wind like dandelion seeds.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the deal with AI datacenters using water for cooling?
3·2 days agoNot meaningfully, no. In the middle of a dry desert far from other bodies of water you could theoretically form cumulus clouds downwind of your site (I have heard of this happening), but it would be teeny tiny.
The amount of water evaporation is just orders of magnitude too small. The earth gets about 1kW of energy per square meter, so a 9GW data center is approximately the same amount of waste heat as 9 million square meters, which is 900 hectares.
The answer is probably boring and dystopian like SEO for engagement ragebait. It’s hoping you have the same opinion you’re searching and will devolve into arguing with others needlessly over which Linux distros suck (all of them except yours) why yours is the best (it isn’t) and why others need to switch (they don’t unless they still use Windows)
