I know it's not what you're asking but switching back is truly horrible, I have to use w11 at work and I hate every second of it. One drive shoven down your throat, Xbox stuff wants to install something everytime I update, installing stuff from random exes found on websites (I know the store exists but it sucks if your needs are not "I want to install candy crush"), changed something in your path variable? Reboot! Wtf? I really hope microsoft abandons windows in favour of its cloud apps for people who need it and lets Linux distros rule the desktop world

You sure Dolph won't be busy busting heads because he smelled crime or performing outrageous sexual experiments on his incredibly hot but skeptical female lab partner?

This is something I always wondered because some people have a bunch of theories about whether your head should face north or south or whatever, because of the earth magnetic field. Is there any science in this or just "superstition"?

Also, would it be better to have the head towards a window or away from a window, even if closed (e.g. in winter)?

I'm basically asking whether there exist "recommendations" on how to structure a bedroom backed by science.

After reading the abstract of the paper mentioned here I started wondering, why did human groups migrate away from southerner (warmer) places towards the north which is far colder and has less possibilities to grow crops and wild animals to hunt?

Was the population density too high?

And after they migrated, what did they mostly survive on? Were they hunters-gatherers? Did they cultivate? Was it not more difficult to survive in colder climates?

Kimyan Law - Mortal Life, the chords in the first part of the song remind me of some song but I can't remember which one, can anyone recognize them?

Whenever I try to install an Android extension, except for the Recommended ones, by pressing "Add to firefox", I'm prompted to download the .xpi file and when it finishes I press " Open file" but I get an error saying I don't have any app which can open those files.

Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix it?

I'm on Mull 120.1.0

I'm talking about

I read some time ago that there were doubts from package maintainers regarding the -march RFC because of lacking tooling. Does anyone know if there has been any progress on solving those problems?

And what about the other two RFCs?

Is there any way the community can help?

I think they should've done a community contest like for the wallpaper. But even more I think Plasma (or more in general KDE) should work on brand identity first and then, given the direction, decide a clear, original and distinct logo / wallpaper / whatever style.

I found this post on Hacker News https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38421110 and in it a comment that sparked my interest: "Only tangentially related but: I have a blue light filter (Plasma night color) always on on my laptop because I feel like, in combination with brightness reduction, I get less eye strain. I've always wondered if there exist a color scheme for desktop theme or IDE / neovim theme or whatever that is thought with night color in mind, i.e. it's made specifically to be looked at with blue light filter reduction, so that all choices of color work, because for example I use solarized light in neovim but when doing diff I need to turn night color off because otherwise I can't read selected text."

Does anyone know if such a thing exist? I too have blue light filter on my PC on all the time so everything is yellow/red tinted depending on the time of the day but sometimes I have difficulties reading some text in certain colours because of it.

I'm sorry if this isn't the right community to ask this.

And if so, how much? Less, same or more than if it was actually charging something?

I'm in the EU if that changes something.

Wouldn't grow something from the inside require a very strong force to "move" the already present one? Instead growing from the last "layer" towards the outside would require a lot less force, but perhaps a lot more matter.

Is it even correct that trees grow concentrically?

Now that I think about it, how do plants grow in general? Hahaha

Update: for everyone wondering, yes, my question doesn't make sense because the i.e. contradicts the question. I don't want to correct it because I don't know which part to correct since I was wrong, I thought trees grew new parts inside and pushed older parts outside. So I could correct the i.e. and swap "innemost" with "outermost" but that would mean that people would read a question stating something that is wrong, or I could correct the question and swap "inside" with "outside" but I was wrong and I'm glad I learnt something today. We can all agree that I asked a weird question in a weird way, thank you all for your answers.

Can you please explain how you did it or link to a guide explaining it? It could be useful to many people

Thanks, didn't think about the difference, english is not my 1st language, corrected now

I know about your decision regarding Threads but what are your thoughts on the blog post from the Mastodon CEO? https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-threads/ especially the address to the EEE concern
