Mozilla could have allowed people the option to subscribe for a modest fee in addition to giving it away for free, to diversify their income and be less dependent on Google, but they have not been trying that hard to develop other revenue streams.

You linked to How Not to Die, which is by the same author as How Not to Diet.

He advocates WFPB. I have read How Not to Die and it was more interesting and funny than I expected. It’s a good tour of the scientific studies related to the foods correlated with the most common causes of death.

Studies about longevity have reached the conclusion that WFPB is best for long life as well. The Blue Zone diet focused on longevity also emphasis a plant-based diet with less processed food.

WFPB is a vegan way of eating focused on health. It recommends minimizing processed foods, especially added sugars and oils. Stricter versions also limit fattier foods like avocados and nuts.

When following WFPB closely, it’s necessary to count calories, because you are eating so much nutrient-dense food with lots of fiber and relatively fewer calories. So you get full without a lot of calories.

Although, If I have my own Amazon referral link in my blog post and they replace the referral code in their feed, I would not be happy about that.

They could be injecting their own ads or affiliate links into the content.

For example, if a post links to Amazon.

I have not looked at the source code.

I ended my Zellij eval when I ran into this dangerous bug when Sync and Fullscreen are combined.

It potentially sends commands to a server in a hidden window you can’t see.

Tmux doesn’t have this problem.

Interesting research project but it’s not Linux and doesn’t natively run Linux apps.

The story hypes this to be a bit more than this is.

Framework sent a laptop to the lead Mint dev. He’s going to try make sure it works well with Mint, but it already does.

The more low key framing straight on the Mint blog is here:

I used the Tandem app to meet native speakers of the target language who are learning my language.

Once I find a match, we set up calls on a regular basis. With one, we switch languages halfway through. With another, we alternate languages each call.

If you don’t feel ready for a voice call, you can text back and forth or send audio files.

Once you find a partner you like on Tandem you can switch to a different encrypted chat app for privacy.

Rights. Scammers were in the listing before, and AI has helped them appear more trustworthy.

Not sure why people downvoting this news. Any downvoters care to elaborate?

 

It is reportedly plug-n-play for basic features, but for more advanced features, something like this project would need to be patched to add support for the camera.

If you have been using an ergonomic mechanical keyboard for more than year, let us know which keyboard it is, and whether you plan to keep to keep using it for at least another year or if there's another keyboard you are considering trying instead.

 

I have a Logitech C920 and am looking to upgrade. Something suitable for streaming.

Some annoyances with the Logitech: sometimes autofocus fails and poor reproduction of blacks. Ex: Lack of detail when a black cat is on screen.

I already have a nice mic-- the webcam doesn't need one.
