UCLA chemists have found a big problem with a fundamental rule of organic chemistry that has been around for 100 years—it's just not true. And they say, It's time to rewrite the textbooks.University of California, Los Angeles (Phys.org)

As a chemist when I read such a title I already know it's one of those organic chemistry rule of thumb rules. All of them are named and most of them old and from text books. Such rules are useful rules for drawing stick figures of molecules. They are not the same as actual rules of physics for example.
But it's always cool when someone finds out how to make molecular structures we thought wouldn't work.

To me, if Valve wants Linux multiplayer to have a future, they need to demonstrate that they can develop a good Linux anti-cheat solution.
That's much easier said than done. But I hope it's a problem that they're working on. Otherwise, it's going to limit the potential of the Steam Deck and other future Valve Linux hardware.
We'll see if Valve's partnership with Arch expands, it's been suggested that Valve could do signature verification on the OS as a fork of verification.
It would be nice of Valve could put this issue to rest considering its the top blocker on some leaderboards games.
Personally I hope they solve it by making it "opt-in" for "Verified Multiplayer" as opposed to opt-out 'take it or leave it' as many games get canned robbing purchasers of their ability to enjoy abandoned games.
one way to burn this all down is for hardware cheats to become even more popular, a triggerbot hardware cheat is as simple as a adruino plugged into your USB and your computer sees it as a capture card and a mouse and that's the simpler solution.
If they start to ban capture cards or PCs with 2 mouse, it can be upgraded to be a hdmi and mouse pass through

For some, it might feel as though their mind is mimicking the physical act of writing the word, a phenomenon known as motor imagery. “Some might notice typing words on a phone or a computer keyboard,” says Price.
I have this, really interesting to know there is a term for it. Actually, “had” is more accurate, as it slowly diminished over the years and has essentially gone away now, probably stopped happening in my mid 20s or so. Sometimes it was handwriting, but usually QWERTY keyboard typing or even T9 dumbphone typing.
Also experienced other mild forms of synaesthesia too, but those are gone now as well. Kinda miss it sometimes. Being a kid was kinda magical.
also what fucking cancer is github? apparently my account is "flagged". i literary made one single "issue" before where simply i asked how to donate. now this trash company needs my phone number to allow me to contact the support or delete my account lol.
anyway, if anyone has an account there, would be cool of you to comment the following (or something similar) on this issue:
I agree that it's a bit useless right now, but please consider removing it. Because auto-repetitions with a (custom) limit would be super cool. Certain languages contain countless words with double letters.
Simple example: typing the word better equals touching the display 6 times. With the feature "key repeat on long press until the character is typed 2 times" it would just be 5 times.

What we're experiencing right now is basically the impact of around 1.5 degrees. All of that is basically from very old emissions. We're on the hook for at least a couple more degrees, but its not like we've even slowed or stopped the rate of emissions, so perhaps even more than that.
The impacts of these forcings won't be linear.

Pop!_OS crashes on suspend after updating to Nvidia 560 drivers.
I updated my graphics drivers from nvidia 470 to nvidia 560 due to issues running certain games. It's fixed my gaming issue but reintroduced the problem that kept me from updating for so long.
After setting my computer to "suspend," it wakes up to this screen on all monitors. I am unable to scroll up or type further commands, my only option is to reboot the machine.
- My graphics card is: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1070]
- Nvidia driver version: 560.35.03
- My desktop environment is Cinnamon X11. (This does not occur on Wayland, but there is no Cinnamon Wayland.)
I can't make heads or tails of this error screen. The best I can understand is the "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is required!" line. How can I get more information? Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks in advance.
Edit: It seems important to mention this is happening only on X11 (Pop default and Cinnamon), and not on Pop!_OS on Wayland.

Cinnamon on mint has an option to log in using Wayland.
Where you type your login/password (mint uses light-dm as the login window) there is a small icon/avatar to the right. Clicking that gives the DE options:
- Cinnamon
- Cinnamon 2D
- Cinnamon Wayland (experimental)
Since pop is Ubuntu based you could try the Ubuntu ppa (there are other nvidia tips here, too)
itsfoss.com/ubuntu-official-pp…
And, here's the 550 download directly from nvidia
Hey thank you! I'll give this a shot tomorrow. I think my install uses GDM, not light-dm? I have Cinnamon but not Cinnamon Wayland in my list.
But I'll try the 550 drivers for sure!

I recently tried to buy tickets on Ticketmaster for an hour. But no matter what I tried, different browsers, different device, I always got blocked from buying because I supposedly "browsed too fast".
I gave up and bought the tickets in 5 minutes elsewhere.

Based on the sash, this is a woman celebrating a birthday or bachelorette. Due to the pattern on it I’m leaning toward birthday, as bachelorette sashes tend to be solid white.
She’s probably hammered, having been day drinking since 10AM (that’s what those sashes are for; to give lunch goers a clear visual warning sign.) and based on the shadow line and assumed time of year (I’m just assuming it’s not northern California in winter, but it might be) that is probably like 4-5pm, so she’s been drunk for a solid while, probably in the sun.
So very drunk, good mood woman gets an idea that twerking poolside (very possibly to no music or music played off a shitty phone) is the way to keep the party going (a shockingly common sort of happening at those two categories of sash-wearing events).

This makes me wonder, though, if those dumb attention seeking sashes exist outside of the us (baseball hat in background seems to indicate US).. I’m sure they must in some form, but I really sort of hope it’s just here that people are so self absorbed as to think a birthday or wedding is a free pass to be a public disaster. (Also there used to be a trend of wearing a sash so strangers would staple money to it, but thankfully that seems to have died..)
