Do you mean —? That’s Alt + Minus
Sorry but a word processor that doesn’t trigger a 9 second laggy animation with every button press is just simply unusable
Mint is Ubuntu-based so yeah, most stuff will work.
But also: The only reason I don’t recommend Ubuntu is because of Snaps and telemetry. If someone decides that they don’t mind, I don’t care. Everyone should just use the distro they like best
You can have a look at Obsidian with the Excalidraw plugin
They do but the first element is still “me”, it just has the index 0.
Fahrenheit has one advantage here: You’re used to it. If you’re used to Celsius, you know that 25° is warm and 5° is cold and don’t give a shit about it not being a 0-100 scale for that particular use case.
The 0-100 thing is pretty much the only argument I’ve ever heard in favor of Fahrenheit btw. Again, if you’re used to one of them, that’s the one that will make the most sense.
Being used to Celsius has the advantage of automatically being used to Kelvin. For example, if you ever want to calculate anything to do with the energy required to heat something to a certain temperature, you will have a way better time with Kelvin. Being used to and measuring in Celsius helps a lot here.
But sure, I get that you’re used to Fahrenheit. It’s just that the whole world has decided to use Celsius. Honestly, for good reason.
It’s actually pretty quick for me with 95% JPEGs. But your mileage may of course vary.
You can just select them all and export them into a folder. Maybe overnight?
Throw them into darktable and export them to JPEG

I’m sorry for misunderstanding the thing with the lions. Thank you for helping me understand it, it makes much more sense now.
As I said, living in groups is desirable to humans on a very basic level. It’s what makes us survive and allows us to pass along our genes which is why staying in groups gives humans an evolutionary advantage.
I also said that what I described is how it used to work most of the time until the Neolithic Revolution happened. This enormous change also changed the way humans interact and behave. Stuff like greed and jealousy became much more common.
Despite that it is still baked into human biology that kindness and gratitude are advantageous to us. It explains the positive emotions that emerge when being kind and grateful.
I am also not doubting what you’re saying about sociology because how could I? It’s not wrong.
I think that our opinions don’t differ that greatly. The only point I am making is that behaving in a social manner is indeed evolutionary advantageous because it undeniably is.
species that form groups through social interaction will result in a group of individuals that gain an evolutionary advantage, such as increased protection against predators, access to potential mates, increased foraging efficiency and the access to social information.
Is what Wikipedia says about group living.
You’re assuming that you would be motivated to “return the favor,” but where does that motivation come from?
It would come from gratitude. Being grateful is simply a tool that emerged to motivate animals, including humans, to live in groups. The behaviour I mentioned earlier can also be seen in chimps and other primates, whose behavioral patterns are pretty similar to ours.
TL;DR
Living in groups does have evolutionary advantages thus staying part of one’s group is desirable which makes social behavior necessary. However, the Neolithic Revolution messed with human behavior and today’s society being much larger than human groups used to be thousands of years ago complicates things further. Gratefulness is simply a tool that emerged in many species, including humans, to further the goal of staying part of the group. It is still baked into human biology although not as much as it used to be.
I don’t agree completely. Using lions as a comparison doesn’t really work imo since their behavioural patterns differ greatly from ours.
Gratitude always served as the foundation of our communities. It’s what motivates us to look out and care for one another and work as a group. Humans are herd animals so it has an evolutionary advantage to be kind to people. Being excluded from a community (which is the most common response to dicks) usually meant dying.
For people who didn’t suffer that fate, it kind of went something like this: Your parents and other community members take care of you as a child (instinctively). You notice that and feel gratitude, motivating you to return the favor by doing something for other members of your community. They feel grateful as a response and also want to return the favor. Ideally, this loop continues.
It used to work way better, the Neolithic Revolution really fucked things up but it still works.
I use biology. Being grateful and kind just has an evolutionary advantage
Totally agree! “God” just has that ring to it. I haven’t found a suitable replacement yet
It does that, too, yes. But as I mentioned above it in fact does have its own web crawler and search algorithm, just like other search engines. It combines the results which makes DDG technically a true search engine, even though it improves its results by utilizing other search enignes, too. Shall we agree to this?
Hang on, I’m really trying to understand.
According to Wikpedia,
A Web crawler, sometimes called a spider or spiderbot and often shortened to crawler, is an Internet bot that systematically browses the World Wide Web and that is typically operated by search engines for the purpose of Web indexing.
DDG operates a crawler just like that which is a characteristic of a search engine.
A search engine is defined by Webster as
computer software used to search data (such as text or a database) for specified information also : a site on the World Wide Web that uses such software to locate key words in other sites
Which is what DDG is and does. How is DDG not a search engine?
DuckDuckGo’s results are a compilation of “over 400” sources according to itself, including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); but none from Google. It also uses data from crowdsourced sites such as Wikipedia, to populate knowledge panel boxes to the right of the search results.

And Firefox is not a browser?
Not an expert but iirc: Materials have a resonant frequency. If they are exposed to a sound of this frequency, the object will start to vibrate pretty strongly. If the sound is loud enough and hits the frequency well enough, it can cause such strong vibrations that the object breaks.
This is how people are able to break wine glasses using their voice.
However, I would think that different parts of a human body have different resonant frequencies so it probably wouldn’t work quite as well. Also, human tissue isn’t particularly resonant.
Definitely. I got a T470s that had barely been used for business purposes on eBay for 100€. It’s a great machine. Lots of I/O, great IPS touchscreen, great backlit keyboard, great trackpad, great build quality, awesome form factor, good battery life (about 6-8 hours). If you need a cheap laptop, get a used ThinkPad. They’re the best bang for the buck imo
