Which ants? What important work do they do?
Where I come from, Argentine ants are dominant, and considered pests. Apparently, there is also some evidence of them being problematic for pollinators.
I know I didn’t put adaptive in there, but that is what I meant when I said the triggers don’t work.
Yes, I understood, but I wanted to clarify for the sake of other readers who wouldn't. Most people who don't have a DualSense don't know about its adaptive triggers, since they're not a common feature on game controllers and not used by most games.
And how do you get the touchpad to work? I can get the buttons on it to work, but I haven’t gotten the mouse-like touch input to actually work, despite being able to map it.
On the desktop, I didn't have to do a thing. It was automatically recognized when I connected the device, and I could move the mouse pointer and click right away. (I ended up disabling it in Xfce, because it sometimes got in my way.)
In Steam, I usually remap areas of it to produce keyboard events (useful in Elite Dangerous), but I think it can also be mapped as a mouse. I haven't fiddled with Steam Input's many options in a while.
Not when done at a large scale.
Critics, however, see a more nefarious White House agenda – namely, gutting universities of what it sees as a liberal-left bias, while using antisemitism as a cudgel in an authoritarian power grab.
Seems to me that crying liberal bias is just a lie behind another a lie.
Education tends to counter authoritarianism/fascism.
Indeed, but I didn't comment on audio, and you didn't specify the other bits in your original comment. Triggers (without Sony's proprietary variable resistance), gyro, and touchpad all work fine over bluetooth.
Most games require the DualSense to be physically plugged in to use the triggers, gyro, touchpad,
Most games? Not in my experience. Perhaps that's because I mostly play on Steam (which has Steam Input to map those things as I like) and console emulators.
the development experience for native software has sucked for a long time.
For as long as Windows has existed, I have found its APIs to be noisy, awkward, and generally unpleasant to use. It was a major part of why I switched my development focus to Unix a long time ago. I guess this is a matter of personal taste; I wonder how you'll feel about the APIs more commonly used on Linux after five or ten years of using them full-time.
Despite a few niggles (I don't care for Bourne-style shell syntax or Windows shell syntax) I have found my productivity to be better and more enjoyable since the switch. Nowadays, benefits include everything that comes with an open-source ecosystem, like the software install/update model of Linux distros, and the ability to solve or work around library/OS problems myself if I can't wait for someone else to fix something.
And, of course, having a privacy-respecting platform for myself and my users is important to me.
In short, I'm happier here. Welcome.
By the way, if you do cross-platform desktop app development, give Qt a try. It does an excellent job overall.
I played it last year. It was fun for a few days, but once I got the hang of the water physics and had a well-functioning city, it became mostly repetitive.
I wonder if newer updates bring more to the mid/late game. I'll have to check it out again at some point.
At These Grocery Stores, No One Pays: A growing number of free grocery stores offer shoppers not just free food, but choice, ambiance, and space for dignity, too.
These are the three that the article refers to:
- KeePass
- KeePassXC
- Bitwarden (Self-Hosted)
From a Kirkland, Washington, USA health hazards sheet that I found in a quick search:
TIPS TO REDUCE EXPOSURES TO BISPHENOLS IN RECEIPTS:
- DO NOT compost or recycle receipts and other thermal paper. BPA & BPS residues from receipts will contaminate recycled paper.
- Minimize receipt collection by declining receipts at gas pumps, ATMs and other machines when possible.
- Never give a child a receipt to hold or play with.
- After handling a receipt, wash hands before preparing and eating food.
- Do not use alcohol-based hand cleaners after handling receipts. A recent study showed that these products can increase the skin's BPA absorption.
- Take advantage of store services that email or archive paperless purchase records.
- Store receipts separately in an envelope in a wallet or purse.
HAZARDS FOUND IN LABORATORY TESTS INCLUDE:
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Early Puberty
- Cardiovascular system disorders
- Abnormal reproductive system development
- Hormone abnormalities in children
- Susceptibility to various cancers
- Resistance to chemotherapy
- Diminished intellectual capacity
I disagree.
- OP wasn't at all specific about what kind of transit app they were seeking, as others have noted.
- Whatever kind of privacy-friendly transit app they want, F-Droid is exactly the place to find it.
- There are only a handful of each type there. Comparing that to an ocean is absurd.
- Many people don't know about F-Droid at all, and just need a pointer to it.
Despite disagreeing, I appreciate that you used your words. Thanks.
I suggest browsing the apps available here:
Edit: I have no idea who would downvote this or why, but doing so is not helpful to anyone, in any way. If you have a question or concern, please just write it in a comment.
I was referring to the image-only link and the embed that you suggested. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Neither of those is a good approach, because part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.
The environment looks real enough. The "cats" look like weird demon creatures created by some entity that only knows dogs.
Why is he so interested in Greenland? Is it just the natural resources?
I often sit at a desk all day and all evening. I find that these things help:
- Good chair. Height adjusted for my keyboard/mouse height. Upright back. Lumbar support. Comfortable-but-supportive seat.
- Good posture (when I remember to pay attention to it).
- Split, tented keyboard. Mechanical switches that don't require too much pressure.
- Good display. IPS panel. Light anti-glare surface. Backlight that actually dims the light source, either without pulse-width modulation, or with PWM at such high frequency that it cannot induce flicker fatigue. Brightness turned down much lower than the default. Calibrated at that brightness setting, optionally to a slightly warm color temperature.
- Muted room lighting. Nothing behind me bright enough to reflect much on the screen.
- Comfortable clothes.
- Cup of water. Regular trips to the kitchen to keep it filled.
- Frequent short breaks. Start the laundry. Get a snack. Look at objects outside. Wash a dish. Bring in the mail. Make the bed.
- Exercise. At least 10 minutes daily; preferably 30 minutes or more. Stretches. Squats. Rhythm games that require full-body movement.
Congratulations!
For those who didn't notice that OP posted 2 links:

Its an actual term
It's a phrase coined very recently based on a misconception, and happened to be picked up by some online publishers. That's all.
Saying "its an actual term" [sic] just attempts to give it an air of legitimacy, without actually meaning anything.
The phrase itself is not only ignorant, but also insulting. The gamers it refers to are not Baby Boomers, but Generation X, which had nothing to do with the damage to society that Boomers are famous for and most of us in younger generations are suffering from now. (Housing crisis and out-of-touch legislators, for example.)
