> How can this situation be changed? First, psychiatry must reduce medicalization as a commitment to doing no harm, by engaging in the multidimensional construction of alternatives to the conventional paradigm, which despite being dominant, is ineffective in the face of the complex challenges that involve mental care, such as stigma, social exclusion, and violation of rights.

I don't want to be flippant, especially not when discussing mental health. Still, how can you look at this sentence and think "yep, that's a good way to communicate my message"?

Good to know. I was going of a sibling comment with a link to their Github repo, in which Cosmic is described as a Gnome skin.

Isn't Cosmic based on Gnome? If yes, at least they did a service to enable the Cosmic DE.

I love the sketchy UI elements. I hate the sketchy text font. Do normal sans-serif fonts and sketchy UI not fit together stylistically?

> Stop dumping knowledge into a black hole. Use forums. Use the open web.

I feel like there are two discussions to be had:

(1) Discord as a commercial platform vs. open web; (2) Discord as an IRC-style platform vs. forums.

For me, only (2) is about the point of OP of "dumping knowledge into a black hole". It's a black hole because it's IRC, not because it's commercial.

Do you care to share what forum that is? And is its irc-like chat section searchable? Otherwise it is just forum and chat available under the same domain. But information in the IRC section is still ephemeral.

I'm not the first to say this, but Discord is essentially IRC. It's great for ephemeral chatting and arguably the best platform for that currently. The content on it is not indexed and not discoverable with web search engines.

I have been wondering: is it even possible for a platform to fulfill both needs?

For searchable, "forum style" discussions, we already have a large accessible platform: Reddit! I genuinely ask myself: why is "Join our Discord" much more popular than "Join our Reddit"?

I personally prefer "forum style" discussion over "IRC style" discussions, but the polularity of Discord even in technical circles proves to me that a lot of people like the IRC style of communication.

"Literally any" would include glances, wormhole, yt-dlp, nvitop for me. For which I don't care about performance.

That is true. I guess this specific advice is meant for people who have such high standards (for better or for worse) that they could bring more benefit to the world if they half-ass more things.

I agree that telling everybody to half-ass more would probably not yield a net benefit.

Ok, but what CLI tools are you using where you would care about performance between CPython and PyPy?

Flatpak is actually pretty nice and not affiliated with Canonical. No forced automatic updates with a daemon and easy to manage.

Would there be a more canonical way do do this?

I wanted to submit this just now. I guess we watched the same recent Youtube video by number 0.

You're not wrong, but the production team might be more justified when you account for the huge number of users seeing this image.

Would a synthetic image sufficed? Yes. Can it be worth it to invest in artists creating something nice if millions of people see it? Yes.

Could you elaborate on the toxicity articles?

If anything this makes me less scared of turbulence. If such an event does not damage the plane, the common turbulence surely won't.

webm seems to be the modern replacement for GIFs in browsers. I would suspect gifs.com supports them. Somehow their site is buggy for me atm so I could not test it.

Creating GIFs for Google Slides is also exactly my main usecase for gifski. Today I played around with different formats for animated images (GIFs, apng, svg) and videos (webm, mp4, ...) in Google Slides. Only GIFs can be directly embedded. Other animated images are not supported, and videos have to be files in Google Drive.

Ironically, GIFs are way larger than e.g. a webm video but are the only format which can be directly embedded in a presentation.

Thanks, I was expecting something along those lines. I assume misaligned partitions are kinda hard to produce these days if you are using the default partitioning from your GUI Linux distro installer? Last time I heard this being really relevant was over ten years ago iirc.

...which should be much faster also on CPU, I assume.

> There are a couple of good file system options, but I chose btrfs for a couple of reasons. Subvolumes work in practice, like more convenient partitions, snapshots are incredibly useful for backups (more on that later) and compression can save quite a bit of space on the not-so-big included SSD, which also reduces wear.

I am also running btrfs (as the default disk partitioning on Fedora 40). I used to do regular snapshots with snapper on my laptop but at some point ~20% of my SSD were reserved for metadata. From that only 10% was used (so 2% overall) without any apparent possibility to reduce the reserved space.

These days, I do snapshots only on my homeserver (which is running syncthing) but not on my laptop.

> By default, many modern SSDs, including the one in this laptop, report a smaller sector size than their optimal one. This is done for compatibility with Windows XP and older systems…

I had never heard of this. Of course, checking on my new NVME SSD I also get the suboptimal 512 bytes. I won't do a reinstall for this, but I wonder how large the performance impact actually is?

If I didn't know any better I'd consider it technobabble

You can run nvtop on iGPUs, but with a reduced feature set I think. Just try it.

Without data going through the server it should be pretty cheap to host, right?

From the post:

> well, admittedly, we do propagate $TERM, but that's an explicit exception, i.e. allowlist rather than denylist

Why the snark? Even if it disappeared, that's better than never existing (helping people) at all.

Or simply not Ubuntu 22.04? You could also install new Python via conda, then overturemaps with pip.
