I've used ubuntu on and off for years. They have a history of questionable choices. Like making users opt out of Amazon searches. Or using unity. or abandoning unity. The most recent thing that made me switch was forcing snap packages on me, which would then be annoying with updates. I switched to debian stable with gnome and flatpak, and haven't missed anything about ubuntu since.

It's still a fine distro. The Amazon thing was the only egregious problem IMO

I feel like this is missing the forest for the trees. Elon was basically buying votes with his lottery, which there's already laws against. It doesn't show that we need "Campaign Finance Reform", it shows that there's a class of people who are above the law

I LOVE MANAGING DEPENDENCIES WITH apt AND BUILDING FROM SOURCE

From the paper's caption for that figure:

Regional trends of extreme temperatures are underestimated in climate model experiments in multiple regions globally. (A) Comparison of observed trends in tail-widening (yearly 99th percentile minus 87.5th percentile) with 49 simulations from coupled and SST-forced climate models (SI Appendix, Table S1). Observed trends are outside of the modeled range in several regions globally (dark red). Areas where the annual 87.5th percentile of Tx shows a negative trend in observations are shown in gray ~~ So I think that means tail-widening ~= more heat waves. Colored areas are where heat waves are increasing, and climate models have underestimated the observed heat waves. Gray = areas that heat waves have become less frequent~~ nevermind, I'm still confused lol

The caption from the columbia article seems wrong:

Regions where observed heat waves exceed trends from climate models. Boxed areas with the darkest red colors are the most extreme; lesser reds and oranges exceed models, but not by as much. Yellows roughly match models, while greens and blues are below what models would project.

Pretty sure that's wrong because the scale on the paper's graphic shows a scale going from blue (0%) to dark red (100%). That means the map is much worse than what article says. Yellow is not where it "roughly match models", it's actually where the models underestimate by 50-75%

yep. Browsing F-droid is a good way to find random apps, too. Like Audio Spectrum Analyzer is fun to play with.

As Western governments make it harder for China to access sensitive technologies—a trend expected to continue under the administration of President-elect Donald Trump—many Chinese companies are trying to get ahead by luring away top engineers in areas such as advanced semiconductors and artificial intelligence.

Hopefully the wsj made up the part about AI. They would do more harm to China than good

trying to fix speech issues on your own can make things worse in some cases. If

Just remember the golden rule: nothing with your voice is supposed to hurt. If it hurts, then stop

OP, I have the same problem and I recently made a ton of progress! Two things helped. First, I started humming almost all the time. I can't carry a tune, and it feels pretty silly. I was very self conscious about it at first, but it has really helped so much with producing sounds. Before all the humming, I never really knew what my voice would sound/feel like before I started talking. But now, it's like I always have that preview thanks to the humming.

The second thing that really helped is something I'm really lucky for. I live with a very supportive friend, and I told them that I would be making more noise and trying to talk to them more in general.

Oh, also apparently acid reflux was an issue too.

I still am not very good at knowing what to say, but at least producing the sounds has gotten so much easier

Just remember: practice is good, as long as you're not straining/hurting yoyr voice!

TLDR: misleading information about misleading information

it did send weapons just not the one that was requested at the time.

Read your own source

Cotton’s "comment is correct in the sense that Obama never approved transfer of lethal weaponry but Trump did," said Michael O’Hanlon, senior fellow in the foreign policy program of the Brookings Institution, a think tank.

What @Freagle@lemmy.zip said is correct [edit] said wrong user lol

Looking at his profile it all makes sense, must be a Trump supporter in hiding wandering Lemmy posts.

Liberal paranoia is getting out of hand. Can't wait to see what BlueAnon candidate the dems run in 2028

You mean a fash light?
