Only dragons, right?

I think this image on the Felidae wiki sums it up pretty well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felidae#Phylogeny

Note that everything in this graph is extinct, except the 2 circled subfamilies at the bottom.

EDIT: I basically know nothing about biology and paleontology and am just an amateur wiki-binger, but it seems that the half-whale was further away philogenetically from any live mammals.

I’m guessing that the fact that this is not just some bones but a very well-preserved mummy is what makes this find special.

At its core, my problem is that I tend to get angry and frustrated with myself, instead of being kind to myself. Self-kindness is easier said than done.

Pomodoro is just a structure that helps me to be kind to myself. Feel free to adapt it to your own needs, as long as it helps you to be kind to yourself and “reset” from distractions.

Thanks, TIL

How is SteamOS on the Deck dealing with this? I thought they also used gamescope

Use gamescope to run the game under Wayland. Gamescope creates an XWayland window (for which you can specify things like resolution, upscaling, and refresh rate) to run the game in, so the game can pretend it’s under X11, and gamescope interacts with Wayland.

The Pomodoro method works for me. Set a timer for 25 minutes. Decide the task (or task list) you’re going to do. Make it as specific as possible, for example “write 10 ideas of things to do at work next year and rate them by how desirable and achievable they are”. Then start the timer and do the task. When the timer goes off, you have to take a 5 minute break. Whether you’ve been productove or distracted, doesn’t matter. You HAVE to take a break. Drink something, go to the toilet, reply to a message whatever. Timer goes off after 5 minutes of break time. You’ve got a fresh start to try again.

For me, the first pomodoro is often wasted, sometimes even the first 2, but the forced break (I only have 25 minutes to a “deadline”) and mental reset afterwards help to create that setting to be productive.

Dangerous Waters.

Very old style, bit clumsy on the controls, but incredibly tense with the gritty sonar stuff.

Been only playing the P-3C airplane so far, but there’s also tons of submarines, a helicopter and a frigate.

It is so satisfying to find and torpedo a submarines after staring at sonar graphs and dropping buoys for a while. Love it! I’ll be sharing an updated aircraft-oriented controls config when I’m happy with it, based on the one community config that was there, which was more sub-oriented.

I think Plato said philosophers like him should have power. Philosopher-Kings.

More of a Lenin vibe

It was freely chosen for simplicity.

If you choose another R, the other sides (x and y) become R*cos(th) and R*sin(th)

I don’t understand what is harmful about the unity circle either.

What a healthy animal, that muscle on the front looking tasty!

If you have any leftovers, such as intestine, and don’t know what to do with them, remember you can always sell it to candy manufacturers, they often use animal sources for gelatin.

That way, after having been slaughtered at the healthy age of 3, he can still make kids happy! Haha.

I love barkon btw, plant-based bacon doesn’t taste exactly the same

You couldn’t be more wrong. 🍉🍉🍉

Of course, if you’re living in Russia, it’s dangerous to state anything other than support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

That doesn’t mean it isn’t cringeworthy to watch someone awkwardly dance around it, trying to ignore it while complaining about (checks notes) losing a bit of reputation over an unnecessary war that their country started and which literally cost thousands of lives.

Any Russian who stands up against that is incredibly brave. The others, just different levels of sad. Non-Russians who support Putin are the worst.

I understand why you’d want FOSS to not care abot borders, wars and politics and that is noble. But to call this comment racism, comes across as a veiled show of support for Putin. As if critiquing his invasion is a racist act that hurts the Russian people. Putins invasion is hurting the Russian people. Not this comment.

Windows XP… such expressive, truly material-like, design, only Vista comes close. But XP ran so much better.

Thank you for sharing your findings and the great explanation! I recognize number 2 a lot… I will try to stop engaging with the anxiety.

This has me confused.

Temperature can be used to refer to how fast the atoms are jiggling (kinetic or phonon temperature) or to how messy, disordered (opposite of ordered) a system is.

Time dilation is a relativistic effect where time appears to go slower when you are looking at something that has a very high speed (near light speed) compared to you (relative velocity). Can also happen with mass because gravity is acceleration, thus related to velocity.

If the atoms are jiggling slower, relative velocities only shrink, so you’d expect to see less relativistic effect. I am not aware of any relativistic effects due to thermal motion in normal conditions (room temp, atmospheric pressure), so I don’t know how they’d appear when relative velocities only decrease.

I am really interested where you got this temperature - time dilation link from. Can’t seem to crack it.

Great job on the title @teodor_from_achewood@lemmy.world

I’m sorry, you’re right it is another important piece of the puzzle and my comment didn’t really add anything.

Bazzite is based on Fedora.

OP is probably mostly running into hardware, rather than software limits. While ProtonDB does include hardware reports, it’s made to check Linux compatibility primarily, and other benchmark sites will be better suited for OP. Most single player games should run well on Linux now.

Of course!

Well, do still consider how other addicts might feel judged when they realize you quit. It will make them uncomfortable and they’ll have to make up excuses.

It might sour your relationship with people who enjoyed using it with you.

Why don’t you start with cocaineless Mondays?

How about solidarity with other addicts? If they see you quit, they will feel pressured to also quit, have you thought about that?

I did not realize in advance how much my quitting would hurt the other addicts.

Not quitting fully (either still using on some days or only fully quitting the least popular parts of the addiction) seems to console them a bit.

It’s a tradeoff you’ll have to make: do you

• … make other addicts slightly uncomfortable by quitting?
• … or continue to harm your health, low-wage workers’ mental wellbeing, destroy nature and the climate, contribute to pandemic risk and unnecessarily hurt the animals you consume?

It’s not an easy choice.
