Running Arch in chroot
I found Archbox project and it is worked for me, but I couldn't start any Wayland compositor from tty (Error: can't connect to Wayland socket . ). How can I properly do this? Or maybe there is a better way than chroot?

You can use wayland in container but the easy way probably would require to give whole GPU to the container (but my knowlwdge is limited)
What I do know that this project is doing that:

That also came up in search results that could help:

How can I run a graphical application in a container under Wayland?
When I used an X11 desktop, I could run graphical applications in docker containers by sharing the $DISPLAY variable and /tmp/X11-unix directory. For example: docker run -ti -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v...Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
Container is just a term for a set of isolation solutions bundled together.
Like file system isolation (chroot), network isolation, process isolation, device isolation...
One of them is ofc chroot, yes container use exactly the same chroot functionality.
So to answer your question, no, you don't need full isolated container. You can use only chroot.
You just need to pass all required devices ( and match the driver version running in kernel with your files in container and (avoid) more than one app having full unrestricted access to GPU as that would result in issues (but dont know the details so can't help you with that)).
Twystlock - Free, 100% 3D printable gaming accessories
cross-posted from: lemmy.nowsci.com/post/9782732
cross-posted from: lemmy.nowsci.com/post/9782596
Hi all,I've finally gotten around to releasing these formally after much testing of prints and usage.
The Twystlock system is a set of 100% 3D printable gaming accessories that require no printed supports or additional parts. This means no springs to buy and no metal elements to melt in, just access to a 3D printer and a bit of super glue. Originally designed for the Steam Deck, these accessories can be applied to the case of any mobile gaming device.
The Twystlock connector itself is designed as a quick-connect that secures parts together with a simple twist motion, can be fully recreated with affordable home-based 3D printers, and doesn't require complicated supports to print. The first use of this connector has been for the Steam Deck, specifically to supply an alternative accessory platform that is more accessible to the everyday 3D printing hobbyist, however it could be utilized as a connector in almost any environment.
Feel free to download what you like, and if you would like to request a new accessory design, or vote on the next accessory to be created, please visit our Lemmy community at lemmy.world/c/twystlock@lemmy.…

what worries me about all these note taking apps is are they are future proof? (it's why i use libreoffice and org-mode), I am worried a project will get abandoned and then all the knowledge i inputted (which is years of work) could be hard to migrate.
Maybe all those note taking apps should develop a standard to import and export to?
If you really want to be future proof and interoperable, I suggest you to use something like a git repository + vscode + foam (github.com/foambubble/foam). All of the tech is open source and relatively easy to use, especially if you already know git.
Treedome on the other hand can be abandoned. It can be swallowed by the sands of time. It uses a custom file format after all. But because of its open-source nature, as long as you have the code, you can open the notes. But that's a good idea, to be able to export to a plaintext file. You could make a request here if you want codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treed…

I suggest you to use something like a git repository + vscode + foam (github.com/foambubble/foam).
It's not that future proof, it is using non standard extensions to markdown from what i can tell, so other software would not work with it . The most future proof alternative is creating some standard that is the result of a consensus among multiple implementations (maybe by enhancing common mark? but that seems like the wrong place).

the extension could cease to exist, but you can absolutely still access your notes with any text editor decades from now. I still don't get where the "non-future proof" here. Can't really be more future proof than a simple text file.
Arguably, open document format, although standardized, are harder to open and manage because it's far more complex than a text file that ends with .md.

Yeah but his kinda turns into a "programmers user interface" that will drastically reduce the usability. As time go by they could add more and more extensions that could make using it in a text editor harder to and harder (my cognitive bandwidth could be used for better things then monitoring that situation).

It does a lot more then .md . The structure of incentives will make it usable for a very long time if not forever (there is a lot of content in it, and having it standardized means organisations are more likely to use it). it has also passed the test of time by existing for 19 years. foam is less then 4 years old as far as i can tell.
seems fairly simple , some form of XML? that gives you a schema that can be used to check the file and a rich software ecosystem of writers and parsers. Speaking of consensus based standards its also a standard way to store data.
I would not worry too much about encryption, i use gocryptfs which gives me a encrypted folder where i store my notes in org-mode (there is also gui software for this). the encrypted notes could be some encrypted folder and some sort of standardized encryption (or maybe the encryption type specified in the metadata?)
Simply because good encryption tends to be slow, making the app unproductive imo.
gocryptfs is very fast for me. i have a file with about 5600 lines and i detect no difference when opening it under encryption and not under encryption. but in gocryptfs each file is encrypted separately . so you could get some information about the directory structure. but the name of the files and folders is encrypted ("archive" for example turns into something like "AaL6P86WWMnqQkMYnsRBXg").
Bazzite - The next generation of Linux gaming
Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices - including your favorite handheld.bazzite.gg
I’d recommend checking out Distrobox, which allows you to create containers of other Linux distros then export their applications as if they were native. Install a distrobox with one of the distros that this program works with, use the terminal to install the program within it, then if it isn’t immediately in your applications menu use the distrobox export feature to place it there.
You could also layer Nix onto your bazzite image and install it that way, but if you don’t know Nix it’ll be complicated

Should one remove all Reddit posts and comments?
Do the advantages of deleting one's entire Reddit history outweigh the disadvantages?
I have previously nuked my first Reddit account because it felt satisfactory to be completely detached from a platform one considers unethical/bad. Though, I have garnered quite some history on a second account—because Duty Calls*, of course—and I'm considering doing the same.
However, I don't want to do it impulsively. I think I might be blind to some disadvantages. What do you think?

I haven't done so personally. A lot of my old activity had to do with helping people with programming questions, so if it's still useful to someone on occasion, I don't feel inclined to remove it.
I left reddit a little over a year ago now, and I don't really care about what goes on over there. I made my statement of displeasure by simply ending all activity on the platform. I figure whatever legacy I left will eventually descend into irrelevance without my having to physically delete it all. At this point, that just sounds like work.
When I left reddit over the paid api, I left all my posts there.
But as soon as I heard about the plans re AI, I edited then deleted all content.
I see no reason why reddit should profit from my intellectual property without even consulting me about it.
I mean I could have used the GDPR (still a thing in the UK, at least for now). But didn't see it as worth it. It really wouldn't be worth the risk selling data that was deleted from a GDPR request.
I don't know that they'll risk using the data from deleted posts/comments though anyway. Most comments and posts will be deleted for a reason (moderation, or otherwise mistakes) and as such, likely isn't going to make the best training data really.
It's far easier to just sell the live data and be done with it.
Deleting posts is basically pointless - reddit keeps everything you delete, it just is no longer shown to front end, regular users.
If you are concerned of your posts and comments being used to feed openai, its way too late
And why should an American cooperation care about that? They can basically do whatever they want without ever having to fear any consequences.
Remember, when they simply restored accounts, posts, and subreddits that were deleted during the API protests?
What's better is to edit every comment and keep your acc active so they can't roll it back.
I asked through support whether they keep previous versions of edited comments and posts, which they claimed that they don't.

Why Wayland adoption to have official support in programs is so slow?
Wayland seems ready to me but the main problem that many programs are not configured / compiled to support it. Why is that? I know it's not easy as "Wayland support? Yes" (but in many cases adding a flag is enough but maybe it's not a perfect support). What am I missing? Even Blender says if it fails to use Wayland it will use X11.
When Wayland is detected, it is the preferred system, otherwise X11 will be used
Also XWayland has many limitations as X11 does.
It is not enough to make a better product.
It is not enough to create all tooling and libraries to seamlessly migrate to the new product, but it helps.
There also needs to be a great big positive reason to make the change. Paying developers, huge user base, the only hardware support, great visuals, etc.
Until I cannot run software on X11, I won't switch over knowingly.
Once the desktops switch to Wayland and all distros ship with Wayland by default, support should slow.
Ideally, developers stop improving xwayland over time and go into maintenance mode for a bit. Once it goes into maintenance mode, developers should naturally fall off as it winds down.
If every desktop makes a very public announcement about the xwayland protocol being put into maintenance mode, actively supported apps should switch over. It's up to the public how long they want to keep maintaining xwayland (open source etc).
I don't think kde plasma was the only one. Anyway, it just feels natural for xwayland to stop pushing for feature parody and for focus to switch over to Wayland after a while.
The biggest target for developers is the Ubuntu/Debian platform so their switch to Wayland should motivate other projects and paid applications to at least take notice.
New projects will try to support both but typically will focus more on Wayland. There's already an unintentional incentive to partially support xdg protocols Wayland relies on thanks to flatpak.
If developers drop off there's not much we can do. It'll eventually have to be removed or become a bigger security risk than developers say it is already.
Support on the x server itself has dropped off precipitously since Wayland hit the mainstream and most small x11 DEs are trying to build off of WM like wayfire or wlroots.
Your arguments kinda weak, no offense. I do have a solution for you though. If you want to stick with a version of Linux that's guaranteed to support xorg for eight years, I'd recommend Rocky linux! When that reaches EOL I guess you could just stay on it.
Enterprise plans on being fully switched over to Wayland by the next major version. You won't be able to install xorg on redhat for example. The biggest contributors to xorg(Enterprise) are going to shift focus to xwayland to support legacy software on wayland.
Besides it's exciting finally catching up to truly hardware accelerated desktops like Mac OS 10.0 and windows vista. At its heart xorg is a purely single threaded software accelerated bitmap based windowing system from 84. They've had to rewrite small but incredibly complex chunks of the code just to try to keep up with the modern world. Just look at the history of 3D acceleration in x11.
Your free to give it a good go though! The very same team that actively maintained xorg threw in the towel ten years ago when they diverted resources towards a new windowing protocol and they're not going back.
Rocky Linux Release and Version Guide - Rocky Linux Wiki
The wiki for the Rocky Linux projectwiki.rockylinux.org
new features are fine. But first and foremost, is not breaking existing apps, or committing to porting them yourself. So if desktop apps need to do xyz, then wayland needs to support doing xyz. period. No 'but that's insecure', no 'but why would you want to do that' (for setting a window icon or positioning the window ffs). Support existing applications. I'm not saying it should support x protocols. But it should offer replacement features for existing apps to be ported to. And it needs to be wayland. Because it's already the case that certain functionality is implemented for gnome, or kde, with incompatible apis, to fill in the void left by wayland itself. If I want an app to work as I want it, consistently, everywhere? X, with all its warts, is my only choice.
As an example, the accessibility protocols. They're good to have. Except they're opt-in. So incompatible with existing apps. Some apps need to restrict access. They could declare that and make use of additional functionality. But no, choose a default that break everything instead.
The argument that apps just need to be ported also assumes the app is still maintained. Are you willing to do the work yourself if not? Probably not. You're just the one looking down on people like me for wanting functionality in existing apps to be "not literally impossible to implement"
This whole argument ignores xwayland and the fact that new features are added as a standard of Wayland literally every day.
For as long as xwayland is supported you can use your old apps. Wayland actually supports different window icons for multi window apps. But Wayland has always supported window icons, kde just had an annoying bug they finally fixed. Chromium and electron apps kinda just didn't support window icons very well in wayland for a while.
For accessibility, it's been broken on Linux for literally years but there's an active effort to make it better and more universal than it ever could have been on x11. The effort of building a fully featured accessibility stack is being led by the gnome team with help from the free desktop organization and kde.
This is my last response, this conversation isn't going anywhere anyway. I'm not the one transitioning the Linux world to Wayland, I don't see why you could blame me for it anyhow.
staging: Add xdg-toplevel-icon to allow windows to set dedicated icons (!269) · Merge requests · wayland / wayland-protocols · GitLab
Hi everyone! Here is yet another controversial protocol, but I think it is a lot easier to discuss pros and cons if there is a concrete...GitLab
As a disclaimer: I really like Wayland and use it as my daily driver for months now with KDE/Proton.
Now my answer, based on my best knowledge:
Because there is no real Wayland to implement, the base Wayland protocols are extremely bare bone and most of the heavy lifting is done by all the different wayland compositors like hyprland, plasma, Mutter, weston, wlroots, gamescope so as a developer you don't have one target to program against (X11) but lots of different wayland implementations and those are not always doing things the same way or providing the identical interfaces/API or have the same level of features.
On my system is at least one wayland only program that works absolutely fine when started in a wlroots environment but crashes (reproduceable on different systems) with a segmentation fault in Mutter or Plasma.
for one, it's missing a good chunk of A11y stuff, activity watch requires something to monitor the active window, there is a PR for that, still not merged, this has been an issue for years
It's missing protocols that will let applications request to be a privileged application, which is necessary for applications to use other functionality.
Missing protocols to control always-on-top / layers, which is needed for OSKs to function, and a couple other A11y things off the top of my head.
It's not just a11y either, Window positioning still isn't merged, which means if your app opens two "windows", you cannot currently select where to open them, or to even bind two windows together (Android emulator does this for instance).
There is a LOT wayland is missing, it IS getting better, just at a snails pace.
I'm not defending x11, both wayland and x11 are trash, it's just whichever trash pile you find yourself most comfortable in.
On x11, fractional scaling is more or less just handled by the gui toolkit. It does suck that you need to set an env var for it, but IMO that isn't too bad.
the multi monitor stuff does suck for sure. It's not an issue for me personally. One thing that is a massive issue for me is x11's terrible handling of touch, I use touch screens daily so that's a massive issue for me, wayland compositors are also typically quite a bit faster then x11 + wms on low end systems now too (not to be confused with total resource usage/lightness).
Wayland has a lot of things going for it, but it also has a lot going against it. Both are terrible. Arcan save us (oh how a man can dream)
It is still young and underdeveloped.
It is advertised to be simpler, but I don't understand any of this words thrown in this thread. And I don't care. Pulseaudio and pipewire is still making me troubles, even thou alsa worked without issues for me.
Point it, make it clear and stable and we will come. Until than we will use the beast we know. It os mich easier when there are no options, but Wayland is fighting something that exists and it takes time and effort.
Another problem is they pushed it to early and people got burned. Until I start seeing "I switched to Wayland in one command and everything works" I (as a user) will not touch it (unles my distro decides to drop X).
As someone who tries to look under the hood for a lot of the open source software I run, one thing that I have noticed is that there are a lot of cases where the general sentiment seems to be port to what. Wayland still doesn't support a number of things that some applications require. A lot of developers that I have interacted with would rather have the app run through XWayland rather than have a wayland version of the app with less features or certain features grayed out.
In the case of one project in paticular, that being the Sunshine game streaming project. I have personally witnessed. Them implementing a solution for wlroots based compositor. Having that solution eventually break as wlroots based projects deprecate the protocol they were using in favor of a new one and now that protocol is looking like it too is old news and is going to be deprecated in favor of a newer and better protocol. What I am getting at here is that protocols not existing isn't the only problem, but things are still very much in development. Even applications that implemented wayland support are being put in positions where they need yet another rewrite because things are far from finalized and still moving pretty fast.
In the case of one project in paticular, that being the Sunshine game streaming project
That's a terrible example, because they completely ignore the many many years old standardized APIs (screen casting and remote desktop portals) that they could use, in favor of doing hacky and broken things that require root access instead.
Because it’s so complicated that given a page (page and a half) to answer the simple question, “Why does Wayland support still give you more problems than solutions?” We had to describe it like the summary of a PHD theses in client server architecture?
Come on with that load of hot trash 😭
With the headline, yeah… kinda 
Your answer plus a bit of “this is why it’s important.” And I would have grunted and gone back under my bridge…
I’m feeling a bit sheepish about my comment on the other side of the day.
But I was also hoping for a lot more. Better desktop security… and that’s underselling it because my understanding is we’re pretty much coming from zero, so this was always going to be rough.
I have yet to run into an insurmountable issue, but I’ve just hopped distros rather than (successful) troubleshooting. Always makes me grumpy 
If I understand correctly, Wayland does provide better desktop security. At least two of the common issues are tied directly back to that.
Screen sharing apps, which need to access what one or more other apps are showing, and screen readers for the deaf, which need to access what text other apps are displaying.
Wayland intentionally recuses itself of these problems. That's understandable, as these problems aren't specifically in the realm of a display protocol. However, this has led to some significant problems.
Specifically, since there is a power and implementation void, and the Wayland crew haven't stepped in or endorsed any particular way to fill it, each compositor/desktop library is now implementing it's own means to achieve these ends. This leads to other problems.
You want to write software for X for some of these things, and regardless of the DE you're working in, there are more fundamental ways to address the information you need. But if you want to do so with Wayland, there's no "fundamental" layer to reach for, because it's handled by the DE compositor and toolkits.
So you need to do it the KDE way, or the Gnome way, or the wlroots way, etc etc - and what if you want it to work with all of them? Simple: just code it multiple times and deal with multiple different frameworks, each with their own learning curves, restrictions, and quirks.
..by which I mean, "/s, jk jk, not actually simple."
Really, my hope at this point is that maybe kde/plasma and gnome will standardize around wlroots (i.e., there is no hope).
So, failing that - maybe a single library for accessibility that does the work once (multiple times, but once), and is adopted and used by kde/gnome/wlroots, and a single library that does the same for display sharing.
Oh it sounds like you understand it correctly
Thank you for taking the time to type this all up, you have expertly summarized the situation and I’m very grateful. Even with focused research it can be very hard to gain an objective understanding of complex subjects these days… doubly so when polaring topics like how to do desktop linux right are involved.
I suppose it would be foolish of the Wayland devs to wade into the middle of those waters if they want their work to remain beneficial to all. And suddenly the abstract technical details in the linked article make more sense to me… they really want to remain abstract from some of the implementation details.
This does seem a bit grim… and it perfectly explains why my problems could be fixed and one distro/wm and not another while still somehow being a “waylaid issue.” I suppose the best solutions/implementations will probably at least end up being shared in principle… I don’t really know enough about the current state of either desktop to be sure, I just wanted to say something positive
Honestly, it's pretty normal for Linux. It'll fracture until it becomes glaringly obvious that there's a problem, and then it'll get standardized, and the standard may be supported in the next version.
Ubuntu could have gone flatpak. They didn't. Kde and gnome could have come to a common agreement about desktop-related stuff they have in common. They didn't. So it goes. The real pain points eventually get fixed.
Non linear evolution at it’s finest
It’s a lot harder to keep track of than it used to be but (holy crap) we won… mostly.
Honestly? Yeah. I agree. At the very least, a solid niche has been carved out, and it's growing. I like that.
I'd really like to see more governmental support, but.. ..so it goes.

Soon to be 4 months exclusively on Linux
I've tried to switch multiple times and always found or encountered some issue that got me back to Windows (on desktop PC).
Last year it was after 2 months on Fedora 38 KDE when I had enough with the KDE Window Manager acting weird and broken unusable VRR on desktop and some other smaller but daily issues that I went back to W11 on my PC.
I like GNOME over KDE and back then there was no VRR support on GNOME so I only had to stick with KDE, now it's a different story.
I still have some minor annoyance which are probably solvable but I don't know how as I didn't put enough effort in finding solution.
Namely:
1.) Sometimes my 2nd monitor after boot remains blank and I have to unplug and plug back in the DP cable from the graphics card. Typically happens after a kernel update or restart but rarely on cold boot. I've seen others having this issue on Fedora40 but I haven't seen any solution mentioned.
2.) Steam UI hangs up sometimes for several seconds when trying to navigate fast trough it and especially if it needs to pop a different window.
3.) GPU VRAM OC is completely busted and even doing +-1MHz will result in massive artifacting even on desktop, not a big deal but I would take the extra 5% boost I can have from VRAM OC on Windows :)
4.) After every Kernel update I have to run two commands to get my GPU overclock to work again. I haven't figured out yet how to make a scrip that can read output from 1st command and copy it into 2nd command so I just do it manually every time which is roughly once a week.
5.) Free scrolling does not work in Chromium based browsers :( Luckily Vivaldi has some nice workaround with mouse gestures but I would still like free scrolling like on Windows.
And these are about the only annoyance I found worthwhile to mention.
Gaming works fine.
The apps I use typically work fine on Linux as well. Mangohud is amazing. No issues with audio unlike my last experience. Heck even Discord has no issues streaming video and audio now despite just using the web app. VRR despite being experimental works flawlessly on GNOME for me. I'm happy.
RX 6800 XT
1.) I don't think it's a driver issue. For some reason the display just does not get picked up during boot. The system still behaves like there are 2 monitors connected though.
2.) Tried disabling HW acceleration in Steam, so far so good but haven't used it for long enough to see if it's completely fine.
3.) AMD changes VRAM timings with clock, it's not just simple clock change, thats why also negative offset affects VRAM stability. I don't think that CoreCTRL compensates for this with it's VRAM tune.
Any system logs that might be related to the display not being detected properly?
Since you're using AMD graphics, you're using the open source drivers right? The proprietary AMD drivers are not good.
Did some looking around and what I found is it could be a sign that the cable is starting to fail:
askubuntu.com/questions/111873…
Do you have another cable you could try?
It could also be a bug in Gnome, since you said it only happens after something like a kernel update. I wonder if it would happen if you used a live usb of gnome, and if so, would it happen if you used a live usb of KDE or some other desktop manager.
What's the likely cause of a get monitor geometry assertion?
I have a small NUC running Ubuntu 18.04; it has a Dell monitor connected via HDMI which has worked since initial setup. This week I had to move it from one desk to another and after connectingAsk Ubuntu
I'm 100% sure it's not a cable issue for many different valid reasons one of the main ones being that the cable is able to drive higher res monitor at higher refresh rate without issue.
Also if I just swap cables from my main monitor with the 2nd the same issue still happens with the 2nd monitor but only in Linux, never Windows.
I've been "on" linux for a decade and even ran it on my desktop without dualbooting for months at a time back in the Ubuntu 16 days. A few months ago I'd had enough of the Microsoftisms and installed straight Debian with i3wm on my desktop with intentions of dualbooting Windows for the rare graphical work I do. Maybe once a month. I managed to boot that thing 8 times, none without issues, before it finally stopped booting alltogether and I spent 14 hours yesterday trying to reinstall it to no success. It would commit suicide on second boot consistently and I said well dog darnit then. I guess I have to bite this bullet and learn how to do my graphical workflow on Linux.
Honestly, I should have done that sooner. I'm now Adobe and Windows free and I have literally no reason to go back. There's nothing I need or miss. All my games work (thanks valve) and all my creative tools are here in some capacity. There aren't many bugs I encounter daily in i3wm, and none are showstoppers.
Shoutout to Blender for being superior to industry standards, and Darktable for being good enough.
While I never had issues with dual booting in the past, I've just found it to be annoying in general and even thinking about having to switch to the other OS because of X for few minutes made me not want to deal with it.
I also use Blender. It's amazing. For my occasional office work OnlyOffice more than suffices. Photopea in browser as a Photoshop replacement or Krita in a pinch. OnShape for CAD for personal use. FreeCAD is nice too but has some severe limitations.
Tracked Steam games working on Linux Mint since I started > 4 years ago (from my final, successful attempt to stop using Windows).

Regarding 1: if you open up dmesg after it happens and you see an error regarding "No edid read", your GPU is having a hard time automatically getting the monitor's edid over display port. My 7800xt has this issue.
If your monitor setup doesn't change much, you can manually set the edid on a per output basis. Here is a good guide.
Also, regarding 3: you may need to set your amdgpu feature mask in your kernel parameters.
Thanks!
1.) will definitely give it a try
3.) I have set the amdgpu feature mask otherwise I wouldn't even have access to the power limit, voltages, etc... but VRAM overclocking just does not work. Everything else seems to work fine.
Significant Link Found Between Heme Iron, Found in Red Meat and Other Animal Products, and Type 2 Diabetes Risk
Significant link found between heme iron, found in red meat and other animal products, and type 2 diabetes risk
Higher intake of heme iron, the type found in red meat and other animal products—as opposed to non-heme iron, found mostly in plant-based foods—was associated with a higher risk of developing type …News

analysed data spanning 36 years from over 200,000 adults enrolled in the Nurses’ Health Studies I and II and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study.
So they looked at some data and found that the more heme you ate the higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes. That sounds a lot like a correlation not causation. What was the rest of their diet like? Did the higher heme eaters also consume more in general? I could not find a non paywalled copy of the paper (though I did not look that hard tbh) so cannot tell how good the study was, but from what I read I would not put any stock into these results.
Like so many other dietary studies that make the headlines, they really don't paint the whole, or even a useful part of the picture.

In part, according to one of the head researchers, “compared to prior studies that relied solely on epidemiological data, we integrated multiple layers of information, including epidemiological data, conventional metabolic biomarkers, and cutting-edge metabolomics”.
So in addition to finding the metadata, they also dug into the biomarkers present, which the molecular pathways are already known in detail. On top of this, metabolomics interpreted the chemical processes involving metabolites, the small molecule substrates, intermediates, and products of cell metabolism. Together, these aspects helped demonstrate the molecular consequences of ingesting animal products. The epidemiological layer assessed the incidence rate of developing T2D and then investigated how many involved the consumption of animal products for the individuals.
This being the case, it appears to be more than just correlation, as once the metadata was found, the team investigated the causation of the metadata's findings.

You don't think the Department of Nutrition at Harvard would've thought to try and control for this?
Not on sci-hub yet but here's a similar one:
And making heme is what they are proud of at impossible foods. impossiblefoods.com/heme
"Heme is what makes meat taste like meat. It’s an essential molecule found in every living plant and animal -- most abundantly in animals -- and something we’ve been eating and craving since the dawn of humanity. Here at Impossible Foods, our plant-based heme is made via fermentation of genetically engineered yeast, and safety-verified by America’s top food-safety experts and peer-reviewed academic journals. Watch more below."

WINE / PlayOnLinux
Hello all,
In a previous installation I was able to successfully use PlayOnLinux to run a few Windows apps. My most recent system, though, is not liking it. Currently on Kubuntu 24.04
WINE is present and up to date. However, when I tried to install PON from either Discover, or using APT, the app crashes immediately. I never even get to the GUI. I read on the page for the app in Discover, numerous others complain about this exact problem.
Anyone know about this and how to resolve it?
I included the link to the app's website because there are numerous versions and it states you need to use the correct one. I don't know what those different variables mean, so could someone please advise? (deb files, Cosmic, Trusty, Bionic, Xenial.... etc. I don't understand these).
playonlinux.com/en/download.ht…
Thank you to anyone who can assist.

Another easier option might be to install lutris from the app store and install and run windows software with it.
I used PlayOnLinux for years.
Recently I migrated to Lutris. I have a Wine installation which are 15 Years old and Works fine on Lutris.
Thanks to Lutris and its modern Settings I could use modern technology for my 32bit games.

Suggestions for a nice endnote encouraging use of libre software
In my field of work, it is common to add end notes such as "avoid printing this mail. Save paper" or "this mail was sent at a time convenient to me. Please respond only during your work hours".
I wanted to use this to encourage adoption of libre software. But I am not sure if this is a good way to do it.
Here are some options that I was thinking:
- Libre software is sustainable software.
- Make computing sustainable, use libre software.
- Make computing free and safer with libre software.
- The email sender pledges to use libre software where possible. Join the cause and help.
I have put the hyper-link for FSF in the first instance of Libre as an example. I am considering using GNU or other websites based on your suggestions.
What do you think?
I dunno what's most appropriate for email, but I often joke:
Isn't open source kinda like a cult?
It's a not a cult I swear! Just switch to free software, and free yourself!
I've also heard my friend say something along the lines of:
Free software, free culture, free people
Or maybe it was free world or free trade? I can't remember.
Although, for slogans like this, I might go with something that has more of an immediate effect, like shilling an adblocker.
- Install uBlock Origin. Blocking ads is one of the easiest ways to increase your security.
- Install uBlock Origin. It blocks more than just ads, but also tracker scripts that follow you around the net and collect your data.
Or the ever so simple:
- Free software means free as in freedom — not as in beer.
Anyway, I partially agree with the other poster, but I think a one sentence quip at the end of an email is unobtrusive enough that it gets a pass. Of course, it depends on your specific workplace and how strict they are, but I would assume most workplaces have a little space for humanity.
uBlock Origin - Free, open-source ad content blocker.
uBlock Origin is not just an “ad blocker“, it's a wide-spectrum content blocker with CPU and memory efficiency as a primary feature. Developed by Raymond Hill.uBlock Origin

GitHub Profile Roast 🔥🔥🔥
cross-posted from: beehaw.org/post/15509445
Generates text after analyzing a profile. It's pretty funny. Mine:thingsiplay
Oh Tuncay, your GitHub bio proudly declares you're "just for fun" and unprofessional, which is ironic since it sounds like you’ve derived way too much fun from so many unremarkable scripts. With 46 public repositories, you must’ve thought quantity would mask the glaring mediocrity. The only thing more stale than your Bash scripts is your humor.Your "emojicherrypick" project? Really? The world needed another emoji picker like it needs more stale bread—there's a reason it's got more emojis than stars. And speaking of shadows, how does it feel to have just 9 followers? Maybe they were just passing by, or perhaps they clicked by accident while looking for actual developers.
You’ve got more forks than a family dinner, yet most of your repos look so uninspired that they might as well come with a disclaimer: “Do not expect much.” Word to the wise: if you're going for "just for fun," maybe consider an actual hobby or, dare I say, a personality. After all, your command line tools are more entertaining than your profile readme, which goes on like a bad self-help book— we get it, you like Linux and gaming, but what's next, a PowerPoint on your 9 followers? Spice it up a bit, bud.>

If you look to play the upcoming "Spectre Divide" game, don't hold your breath this is from an interview with Mountaintop Games CEO via The Verge.
It’s only currently planned for PC, with no controller or console plans yet — and Mountaintop won’t necessarily allow Steam Deck to join. “Steam Deck is a concern as a cheating vector, and I think our anti-cheat systems may block it right now,” Mountaintop CEO and cofounder Nate Mitchell tells me.

Oh no. a game I haven't heard of isn't going to play nicely on the deck, I guess I'll go back to my mountain of compatible games...
Sounds like it has forced multiplayer components always /yuck

Eh, it's also much easier to slap a client-side detector on because you can use generic detection methods. When you're doing it server-side, you have to rely a lot on statistical analysis and it's all game specific.
In the end you can, of course, reduce it all to not shelling out money, but there is some nuance too.
