As a scientist who put the work in and took longer than most to find my niche, this dude’s a punk for cosplaying as a scientist. Technically, having an OChem/Microbio/Any science degree doesn’t make someone a scientist. It requires actively applying the principles and knowledge gained in education as ones profession.

Similar to oil and water, like attracts like when it comes to people. So Vivek being a well-known conman just makes being picked by Trump logical.

Neuroscience covers anything involving the brain’s impact on behavioral and cognitive function. When you look at Neuroscience, there’s more we don’t know than we know because of the complexity and the difficulty in conducting studies. Immunology is the other field in which there’s more we don’t know than we do for similar reasons. Both of these fields can have life altering impacts on someone’s life, which tells me we definitely need to spend more time figuring out what’s going on! Both are a blend of microbiology, cellular biology, and molecular biology.

Right! But, if you zoom out, it’s not exactly too wild. Ground squirrels have voles beat in size and they have habitat overlap with both living underground. Additionally, dietary shifts give animals the flexibly to respond to changes in the environment plus foraging risks and opportunities. It’s been known since the early 2000’s that squirrels can supplement some of their diet with insects or bird eggs/baby birds. Knowing this, it starts to make a lot more sense ground squirrels would hunt voles, as the environment is rapidly changing, they’re known to already hunt a bit, and voles could be their annoying neighbor.

Yes, always make a new alias anytime an email address is requested. This helps prevent tracking and gives you more control over spam emails. Get spam? Pause/delete the alias! While it can sound like a lot of work, it’s a one time thing and then your password manager handles the rest. Also, ensuring you can send emails from the alias is always ideal too. Otherwise, the company will not recognize the email and they’ll have your main email address you were trying to obfuscate.

With the deterioration of our ecosystem, it makes sense lifespans will decrease. But this one seems fishy. At the turn of the century, which preceded the discovery of antibiotics, the average life span was 32. Back then, childbirth was actually dangerous and the amount of kids dying under 3 years old was wild. These were the primary reasons for the 32 year average lifespan. Which means 26 in todays world is almost certainly a sign of fowl play…

The image at the top of the page is from one of the figures provided in the research paper this article discusses. But the reason it’s difficult to imagine is because the concept isn’t as straightforward as it sounds. Here’s one of the helpful figures:

This does a great job showing how they’re both antiparallel and rotating in different directions, as well as how it looks when scaled up.

Dark Reader is the best extention for this, pretty sure it’s open sourced too!

1. Ignorance
2. Easily Swayed
3. Rabid Consumerism
4. Opposition to Change
5. Mastery of Half Truths
6. No Value in Proven Facts
7. Politicization of Everything
8. Pre Civil Rights Era Fanatic
9. Absence of Follow Through
10. Illogical Conspiracy Theorys

In 2019, the advertising/data science company System1 became the majority owner of Startpage. Based on this, I’d say it’s worth finding an alternative to Startpage.

Anyone of the many SearXNG instances is your best choice for balancing privacy and quality results. It’s open source, sources multiple search engines which you can control, is anonymous, and provides solid results. Here’s a list of active SearXNG instances: https://searx.space/

I’m pretty sure just using the “sudo dnf update --refresh” command in terminal will fix this problem. It will ask you verify those packages new repositories. After that, you should be good using the store again for updates. This is assuming you upgraded from Fedora 40 before these errors occurred.

I love the KDE plasma theme Underworld. It’s definitely black and pairs well with a ton of stuff. I like Breeze Dark as the global theme, Ball10050’s Black color, and Underworld for the plasma style. This makes it all primarily black.

I trust the DivestOS team while I have no clue who runs Cromite. Plus, Bromite being abandoned made me look into other options, which makes me trust Divest to keep Mulch running longer than the Cromite team I guess.

Mulch is a mobile chromium browser made by DivestOS (same folks who make Mull). Maybe worth checking out over Cromite.

No sheet

Be sure to include Nobara and Bazzite, both of which are gaming focused distros. Both are Fedora based, but Bazzite is known more as a SteamOS 3 clone. There’s also another gaming focused distro, it just escapes my mind. But I love Fedora KDE as is and then just installing the required software. So I’d say add Fedora, Nobara, and Bazzite for sure!

I’d say I’m one (1) eldritch scientist + Sat[censored]art

Being it’s open source, it should be available on F-Droid here soon, right? I’m only seeing it available through the play store as of right now.

KDE is the way! I’ve heard KDE called the swiss army knife of DE’s, and I couldn’t agree more! I’d be curious to see a comparison of Gnome and KDE users previous OS. I’d bet KDE has more windows converts and gnome favors mac, but I really don’t hear about many mac folks switching to linux.

Guess it all comes down to your definition of makeover. In looking up the definition, it’s defined as “a radical change in appearance, it may imply a change in clothing, haircut, or cosmetics”. This being the case, I’d say the title’s spot on. But it all comes down to how you define makeover regarding if the titles misleading. It’s a bit ambiguous, so I see what you’re saying.
