RX6650XT running bazzite about a year here. Never had an issue.

If it's voluntarily excreted by a vegan with full informed consent, it is also vegan.

In a time when water levels universally sucked, it was a bold move to make the entire game a water level. I remember enjoying it too, never did complete it tho.

Back on my OG DooM bullshit. I gave Almalgoom a go and it inspired me to get back into mapping again after about 30 years.

Unrelated, but why are there two different styles of crosswalk? I'm not from the states and I've never seen either before.

Assuming these are trinary chips, something the USSR pioneered in the late 1950s and early 60's.

Sorry, can't help. I just ate a wedge of cheese.

Hi. This is my area. I'm about six months away from finishing a postgrad nutrition degree. While I'm not in the States so I can't speak to how things work there, I don't think it's a stretch to say it's probably similar to where I am.

Firstly, "nutritionist" isn't really a title that's protected in anyway like "doctor" -- you don't need any qualification to call yourself a nutritionist. There are usually professional bodies you can register with that have various requirements. You can put those on a resume and anyone who knows what they're talking about will recognise them, but the general public doesn't really know the difference between a Registered Nutritionist and someone who's just calling themselves a nutritionist.

Secondly, the field of capital-N Nutrition is generally very concerned with public health. It's a more population-level, research focused field than dietetics, which is more about individual cases. Not so much that one is more qualified than the other, more like the difference between psychology and psychiatry. Dietitians tend to be clinical and will develop meal plans for people with specific issues (dysphagia from cancer treatment, for example). Nutritionists are the ones developing the healthy eating guidelines, contributing to labelling regulations, building evidence bases for policy, designing food literacy courses for schools, that kind of thing. Unfortunately, rampant corruption and regulatory capture means when they do that, they have to sit down at the table with industry, which tends to lead to very watered-down public health advice.

Personally, I tend to stay away from mainstream socmed so I don't really have any recommendations. But the field as a whole is very aware that disinfo is a real problem. Unfortunately, bullshit asymmetry principle means it's very hard to get a signal through the (sponsored) noise, and socmed is notoriously poorly regulated wrt disinformation. It doesn't help that real nutrition advice doesn't tend to make for "fun" content. It's the same shit you've been hearing since you were a kid; eat more vegetables. Drink less soda. Nobody wants to watch that, it doesn't attract sponsors, and it doesn't feed the algorithm.

Can I get mine with a side of plomeek soup?

I had to fart after reading this post so maybe

 

I have some downtime at the moment so I'm thinking of reviving my personal blog again. I have enough experience with managed services that I'm reasonably confident to self-host. I'm aware that WordPress / Drupal / Joomla will most likely do what I want, but they're way overkill for my needs and I don't need the extra headaches.

Currently I'm leaning towards ghost, even though activitypub is only in alpha as far as I know. Plume isn't actively maintained any more, which is a shame. WriteFreely is a great project but doesn't suit my aesthetics and doesn't support themes as far as I know. I know connecting a flat-file CMS to activitypub is possible, but seems like way more trouble than I'd like to go to.

Is there anything I've missed that I should be looking at?

 

I'm pretty deadset on switching my Legion Go over to Bazzite (for the controller support). One of the games I play a lot of is Elite Dangerous. While I'm quite sure I can get that up and running, there's a few third-party tools I use like EDMC and Voice Attack. EDMC and the like I'm fairly sure just need to get pointed to the logfiles, but I'm not sure how well VA will operate in a Linux environment. Anyone out there dealt with anything like this? It's not a deal breaker if it just doesn't work, but I'd like to know ahead of time.

 

Normally I'd go to r/mousereview for this kind of thing, but fuck that website.

Can anybody recommend me a mouse that isn't going to fuck out inside of a couple years? Was previously using an Ironclaw until the USB port went, replaced it with a Basilisk and the scroll on that one's started to jitter up and down now. I have fairly large hands and tend to use knuckle claw grip. Wireless is a must, builtin battery preferred, but requiring a single AA isn't a dealbreaker. I don't mind heavy, prefer a little weight tbh.
