> I've been using XFCE for the better part of 15 years meanwhile.

Nice, nearly 20 years for me.

> (apparently they only have two full-time developers for the whole project?)

We actually have zero full time developers. I'm probably the closest thing to a full-time developer as I have a lot of free time on my hands these days, but even then I don't work on Xfce enough to call it full time. And we only have two people working on Wayland support, and so that's even less than the non-full-time each of us put in.

> Its Wayland support is a permanent unfortunate "work-in-progress"

We've probably made more progress in the past 6 months than all the time prior, combined. Things are coming along, but it'll probably be another 1-2 years before it's usable, and only "stable" in time for the 4.22.0 release at the end of 2026. And that's still all aspirational; it may not materialize in that time.

It turns out that the Wayland protocol is super limited, and a lot of things that you could do easily on X11 you essentially have to re-invent from scratch. And that's before we even talk about turning xfwm4 into a Wayland compositor. (Some rando has forked xfwm4 and is building a Wayland compositor with it, but has chosen not to collaborate with us at all, so it's unclear if their work will ever be mergeable.)

But that's what happens when you're a developer for a software project that has no corporate sponsorship or people hired specifically to work on it. Feel free to contribute; we could definitely use the help!

Anyhow: I run Xfce on a Framework 13, and it's fine. I've set UI scaling to 2x, and I've added a custom modeline to X11 for 2712x1805 (1.2x native). Big downside is apparently this turns off the iGPU's ability to eliminate tearing. I suspect there's a way to fix that, but I haven't had the motivation to dig into it (I wonder if simply using a more-even scaling factor like 1.25 would do it, even if things would appear a little smaller than I'd like).
Funny, my son used to have a cast off iPhone. He's now got a second hand Pixel phone and much prefers it. Then again, he doesn't seem to care about impressing his peers much.

Edit: he likes that his new phone has a headphone jack.

It isn't true outside of the US because salaries outside the US make iphones luxury items.

An iphone costs 1 month of salary in Spain and Spain has the highest youth unemployment rate of the EU (and those who are employed most likely make peanuts). How are young people going to afford it? If an iphone cost 200€, how many people would even use android to begin with?

Now extrapolate that to the rest of the world.
But I assume this was before todays teenagers were born?
I had the same experience as the guy in this BMJ article in terms of trouble filing a report. The process was extremely cumbersome and had to be lodged through my physician. The physician had no idea what paperwork was required or how to fill it out once I found it for him. I don't know whether the report was actually registered in the national database.

My mother-in-law was bedridden for days after each booster (without filing a VAERS report) until her doctor eventually said she maybe shouldn't take any more (god forbid she risk her practicing license by uttering the heresy that the vaccine may not be 100% safe).

A better measure of the prevalence of adverse events are the randomized phone surveys done by countries like Israel. They called 2000 people after their second dose, and magically 4% of men and 7% of women experienced chest pain soon afterwards. What a coincidence!
I have all the symptoms described (inattention type, not hyperactivity), including hyperfocus. A test my therapist had given me indicated that I do have ADHD. However, she told me that I do not actually have ADHD as my hyperfocus does not fit with "attention deficit", and there's alternative explanation for the symptoms from some other issues. Upon reading this post however where inattention and hyperfocus are both mentioned, I sense she may be wrong.

In my case, I feel sure that I did not have ADHD symptoms during childhood. These symptoms I believe have come extreme and unusual mental stresses I have been subjected for several years. However, there's not enough literature on ADHD coming during adulthood. Most, like the OP, say that it would have gone undetected during childhood. Some say that ADHD can develop during adulthood too. I have also read that Adult ADHD seemingly has a different mechanism than ADHD that develops during childhood.

In terms of what's working for me, nothing yet.
You're right I confused it with grafting. I thought that facial transplants meant grafting 'extra' skin onto the face. Still think there's carryover from other fields like plastic surgery and probably cancer treatments to make this easier.
The Pacifica is a bit different from other PHEVs in this way because the goal of its design was apparently for it to be super simple for soccer moms etc, and as such it doesn't have any modes, you can't say only use the battery or only use the engine, etc.
What is ballsy and what isn't is debatable. I would agree it is ballsy because Microsoft is using "Copilot" on now most of its AI products, just today:

- Bing Chat is now Microsoft Copilot [1]

- Microsoft Copilot Studio lets anyone build custom AI copilots [2]

Puts hands behind head

I'm just going to wait while the bootcamp set phases themselves out of the market and then wait for the "it doesn't work any more, please fix it" emails.

Assuming they price their skills at a premium, cleaning up the messes that AI will create in the process of it being treated as The Holy Grail are going to make some people absurdly wealthy.
"The problem with articles of this nature is that anecdotes are not data."

That could be an issue with this specific article (doesn't really seem like it to me). However, pubmed is filled with studies about how junky and underreported the data is. Basically, the system is only intended to find gross trends and it still largely does that with the junky data. It won't capture the extremely rare stuff though.

You realize that the cost of completely switching your phone and ecosystem is not limited to the monetary price of the hardware. Right?

Especially versus the cost (monetary or otherwise) of installing another chat app?
> I don’t see how such things as negligence and/or willful misrepresentation of benefits and risks can be remedied simply by having the FDA say “whoops, actually you can’t inject this in people anymore.

What happens when New York stops following DST? Half of your precalculated events are now wrong. You could recalculate them but now you have to have logic for figuring out when to do that.

Much better solution is to store the repeating event, and each event time, in the originating time zone. Then calculate other time zones from that, which is a little more complicated but doable.

I've had good success putting code examples in a single txt file for our custom framework, and it seems to use that neatly for generating code. I'm surprised you've not had much success with them, I gave an assistant my wife's PhD thesis and while the API was working initially it seemed alright.

Like everyone else I was impressed with the iPhone when it came out as a new device.

A little later I got an Android, I've never liked mac desktops, it was cheaper, and I liked that it was more open.

Then a little after that I was shocked seeing a friend's iphone that amount of features it lacked. No app folders, no widgets, no real customization at all, not to mention the walled garden not allowing a lot of apps and thus functionality I use, like torrents and ad-blocking.

Since then it's always been Android only, either a custom rom or clean install.

Then, it wasn't until last year I learned that in the US "blue text bubbles" is seen as a negative thing, a sign of being poor or some nonsense. It's a uniquely American thing, and utterly insane and idiotic.

But then I figured it works as kind of a filter. If someone wants to judge and dismiss me for having "blue text bubbles", they are probably not worth talking to in the first place.

I think it still works that way. Most of the teens are just following what's popular without doing any critical thinking about it at all. They'll either grow out of it, or grow into people not really worth dealing with.

This was the first movie I tried to pirate. I think I was downloading in divx format from LimeWire or Kazaa over my 1mbs cable modem.

I came back a couple hours later and I had about 20 minutes of the movie that I could start to play while the rest downloaded. I remember it started so hard that I just ended up leaving and going to the movies to see the rest of it.

I realized then that damn these movie studios are doing it all wrong.
Android is somewhat more popular with men than women overall. That could be different for teenagers as opposed to the population as a whole, but it suggests that your gendered explanation is unlikely.
I think it's probably futile to argue with someone casually using "fascist", but you might be surprised that Google isn't a non-profit charity spreading joy.

Quote from their Wikipedia article:

"Google has had criticism over issues such as aggressive tax avoidance,[320] search neutrality, copyright, censorship of search results and content,[321] and privacy.[322][323]

Other criticisms are alleged misuse and manipulation of search results, its use of other people's intellectual property, concerns that its compilation of data may violate people's privacy, and the energy consumption of its servers, as well as concerns over traditional business issues such as monopoly, restraint of trade, anti-competitive practices, and patent infringement."

But yeah, they aren't 'fascist', so I guess you win.
The general argument from the pro-unionists is that police are agents of the state and agents of the state aren’t normal workers in need of typical union protections.
> your computer’s internal clock doesn’t actually go forward or back one hour

Kind of, there's multiple "internal clock"s. Windows (in)famously uses localtime instead of UTC by default for the RTC (stored in CMOS) which has caused many bugs (would list them all but my old bookmarks to MS KB pages were all broken by MS's site redesign), and setting the (unsupported) HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\RealTimeIsUniversal registry key causes yet more bugs.

A hilarious one was Windows getting stuck in a loop continuously changing the time back to 01:00 every time it reached 02:00 because it couldn't persist the "InDST" flag.
take good care of the kids nutrition. read up on it. take it serious. let it eat clean. don't fuck this up.

the connection between ADHD and nutrition is brutally underrated, in terms of amounts per meal, intake of food additives and the mix as well. if starchy carbs, then very little fat and little protein. if meat, then no bread, no potatoes, no noodles or similar stuff at all. veggies are always fine except if the digestion of the kid says otherwise. sugar is a tricky thing. timing is important in terms of time of day and time after food intake but it works bad after some foods, which is different depending on geographical origin of grandparents.

you don't need to point a camera on the kid or anything. the effects of foods and the stuff that the body releases to digest the different compounds on body and brain become obvious within an hour or two. but you need to know the baseline(s) of your kid, e.g. time of day, after activities, around certain people, in places, crowds, moods, etc. make sure you do.

I think this take is a bit ridiculous.

Apple didn't invent a "new form of discrimination", they have a product that works, and is tied to their ecosystem, nothing else. It is not even an exclusive technology, there are a hundred other messaging apps out there, and at least a handful of them are more popular than iMessage.

> Having a phone that doesn't open iMessage is basically a guarantee in the US that you will be excluded and ridiculed if you're a teen, and tbh even as an adult, not having iMessage can result in being excluded in the workplace as well as socially.

I can't speak about teens, but I haven't met a single adult in the US, so arrogant and petty, that they would exclude you from their social circle just because you don't own an iPhone.

And if you actually have encountered this, perhaps it is time for you to look for new friends.

I also appreciate the irony. But I think their arguments missed the mark a bit, making it easier. I personally like the discussion it provokes more than the message itself.
What's your point? VAERS was never intended or documented to be used for risk analysis or individual healthcare decisions. If some people are misusing it that is an entirely different issue and off topic from the article.
The entire Midwest Energy Market (MISO) does not use DST, but not by disabling it but by setting their org's timezone to EST.

On one hand this simplifies a lot – days are always 24 hours for example.

But it does complicate interop outside of the market since energy is traded with DST based markets, and gas is bought using the gas day clock (also DST). The gas day starts at 10am eastern prevailing time, eg. 9am is yesterday, 10am is today.
Sorry, didn't mean to imply they can't--I just meant it could be "suggestion -> movie" which is nuts to consider.
> Windows (in)famously uses localtime instead of UTC by default for the RTC (stored in CMOS)

Probably because historically users could/would set the time in the BIOS setup and would use local time.
Its not so much that they're making fun of the poors. It's that green bubbles break the group chat, so Android users are usually excluded from them. And this is 100% by design. Apple could support RCS (the SMS replacement introduced in 2007) or just release an iMessage app for Android. But they have chosen not to in order to alienate Android users from their iOS contacts and create pressure for Android users to switch for the most petty reasons.

I say fuck all that noise. The correct response to this behavior is to switch to Telegram or Whatsapp or whatever and just be free of vendor lock in for something as basic as messaging.
The Canadian system had issues as well. Extremely difficult to lodge a report.
I can't help but wonder where the US would be at if they had pulled a France and had the vast majority of their power generation sourced from nuclear.

* Yes, I'm aware France's back was against the wall since they don't possess the vast hydrocarbon energy reserves like the US.

* Yes I'm aware of France's nuclear renaissance stagnated, and they're currently trying to play catchup

* No, nuclear waste is not an issue we need to be concerned with given current swimming pool technology

Unions are a right, not a privilege, and if the police and prison guards are racist, a good union representing them would also be racist.

We need to stop catering to them, however, and we need to make it those jobs fit for someone other than racists of fascists to do. But you can't create and uphold a racist system, and put all the responsibility on the hands needed to carry out the goals of that system. These horrible police abuses and prison abuses are usually being carried out under the oversight of hundreds of Democratic (often black) mayors and governors who love a docile and quiet minority population, but not the blame for the violent pacification that it takes to create and preserve one.

> It needs to be much easier to fire cops.

Unions don't make the rules, politicians doing what their donors say do. Giving the police unions what they want is a choice. Other unions don't get what they want.

> From the Director of the FBI, I would expect better than this.

Why?

I mean, I know you mean this as lead-in for arguing for accountability. I do get that. But the wording - it is sticking with me.

It sticks because US federal LEO & IC directors lie. Serially. Every administration. ~Every public remark.

As in some directors do not tell one meaningful public truth throughout their term. Most directors lie at close to that rate. Generally they lie by omission and obfuscation but they will lie about plain facts, if necessary, to advance an agenda or defer accountability. Believing them by default is an absurd thing to do.

The leadership directly below directors aren't well known to be better.

When certain positions have a low-truth history that stretches for generations, maybe we should recognize that. We ought not accept their assertions as factual; any consideration should come with worthwhile vetting and analysis.

While the barn was built in a day, months were spend before hand perparing. All the lumber was prepared by a much small group. Building a barn (the old way - without modern cranes) requires many many humans to lift and old large heavy beams into place while other parts are all set together. Eventually it becomes self supporting and everyone can go home, but there is a time when you need dozens of humans all working together or the job cannot be done. This was carefully planned, and everyone coming to a barn raising would check (to various amounts depending on how much you trusted the organizer) that all the premade parts were already made so that they could get done in a day. Even after the barn was built there often was a lot time between a barn shaped building, and a building you could use for barn purposes.

The barn raising is a big event that has obvious visual progress. I've seen bridged being built - they work for months with seaming little progress (putting in foundations!) before they put up beams - before then it looks like nothing, then in a few days they have the beams up and they are painting lines on the new bridge.
> Certainly the US intelligence apparatus existed pre 9/11

yeah, the CIA was busy welcoming terrorists into the country [1], one of whom would get convicted of planning the 1993 WTC bombing:

"he tried to re-enter the U.S. in August 1991. At that point, U.S. officials recognized that he was on the lookout list, and began the procedure to revoke his permanent resident status. The U.S. government still allowed him to enter the country, as he had the right to appeal the decision to revoke his residency status. Abdel-Rahman failed to appeal the decision, and on 6 March 1992, the U.S. government revoked his green card. He then requested political asylum. A hearing on that matter was held on 20 January 1993.[14] It was later revealed that Abdel-Rahman was given most of his visa approvals by the CIA.[15] Egyptian officials have testified that the CIA was actively assisting him in entering the US.[16][17] The CIA also protected Abdel-Rahman after he arrived in the United States.[18]"
