Uspol

I'm also stunned at how Harris is not saying anything on Twitter (not calling it X, ever) but news outlets are reporting there will be a speech from her today. Not linking it here because I don't want to give Elon more traffic and money. #trump

The fact that the orange guy won ruined my sleep tonight and my hopes for the future where we have best in class science and education with critical thinking and protections/opportunities regardless of our race and gender.

Statistics on wisconsin show no turnaround... I calculated earlier this morning if there were a remaining % of democratic votes in Milwaukee (or one of the counties) (3%) and if it were all dem, it would be 9,000 vs the 22,000 needed. I fear the future and am considering going to an international grad school for research. RIP US democracy. #electionday

Although hallmark greeting cards come with an envelope for their custom card size (A7, A6, or A2), it's free - I thought it cost more. How I should have known this lol. And not everyone even knows this because I see many existing envelopes with no cards 🤷‍♂️ #paper #random

TIL: How you can just solder usb headers to a motherboard, hook up a molex and adjustable power supply to the end of a dc barrel jack connector, find pinouts using multimeter voltages or continuity. Also love this guy's sense of humor. I recommend part 2 as well #circuits #reverseengineering

Opinions on fedora and wayland

I am glad that Fesco reached a compromise regarding wayland and F40. It's good for users who absolutely need compatibility, and Wayland is kept first-class enough by keeping it as the default on install and upgrade. However, people reading blogs to fix their apps would still install X11 thinking it's not much of a security risk, but the default and install breaker can deter people and still get packages to migrate #fedora #kde #wayland

In FDA guidelines, the margin of error on nutrition labels is 20% higher for calories, fat, saturated fat, and sugars, but 20% less for nutrients e.g. carbohydrates, protein, and vitamins. So, a 500 calorie food can be 600 max.

Overall, this selection of nutrients helps the junk food/healthcare industry by e.g. telling people that a protein bar with sugar is "healthy" #food #nutrition #capitalism

In my Abbott covid test box, if you want to report test results, it still advertises the binax app, which does not exist anymore. Instead, you can report US test results here (and doesn't require a lot of personal info): https://learn.makemytestcount.org/ (though I might be getting a biased sample of Mastodon users, it's better than nothing lol!) #covid

Fedora plasma wayland and virt manager are seeming to have issues right now 😞. I waited and waited and it turns out it just got weird and it "fixed itself" when I changed ports from auto to a specific port on another vm. 🤷 Same thing happens with remmina and other SPICE clients #fedora #virtualization

The standard diagram for recipe steps is a Gantt chart: https://www.leanblog.org/2016/11/improving-thanksgiving-dinner-operations/
A lot easier than reading paragraphs on a recipe website and eyeballing multiple steps

Opinions on fedora

The fedora 40 release effectively mandating wayland, I am for it because of better security. Though according to the forum, input about the change was determined by fesco rather than the public. It's good for me because I'm adapting to wayland but this precedent is alarming 🫤 https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f40-change-proposal-kde-plasma-6-system-wide/89794/106
