You’re referring to quantum effects? Don’t worry about whether you’re not watching, the universe is watching. If one photon is emitted from the thing in a quantum state and hits anything, that’s the observation

That’s medicine. Science just sees it as a problem to be sorted by good study design and statistics

Most people believe red painkillers work better than other colours. Because of that when painkillers are tested, red ones work better (and red placebos also). You might find the placebo effect of red painkillers effective

Wheat was the first farmed plant, about 10k years ago, at least the first we can see in the archaeological record. I shouldn’t have said “bread” as that was at least hundreds of years later

I’m not sure whether the Nile region invented bread before they exported farming

They’re right on the beach, they don’t need quality signs, just good enough fish, chips, potato cakes, and chiko rolls

They also do good enough coffee

Sure, usually, but this was a bike

Some mouses have scroll wheels that click too easily. So when you scroll, you paste. In my collection of mouses the Logitech ones are fine, gaming mouses are the worst, and the one Microsoft mouse has no way to do a middle click

It was great before we had scroll wheels. Now it’s too easy to middle click while scrolling a document

People in the thread say the proposal is to change the default and add a toggle to switch it to the mouse settings

I’m going to continue using gnome

We didn’t have scroll wheels back when I first used middle button paste. Scroll wheels make it less good, as too many are too easy to click while scrolling

The question though is who gets their preference as the default, and who has to reconfigure stuff

In this case they’re giving the default to new users and letting X fans reconfigure which seems right to me.

Embedded Linux is fine, just make it so if the owner wanted to they could hire any programmer to modify or update it

When I last set up LFS it took a week, but I read everything. I was doing it to better understand how Linuxes work

…that was a full week, it would have taken much longer had I had other things to do

When humanity discovered bread it made their heads and brains smaller. We all need dental work because of bread - our heads are too small for our teeth.

Wouldn’t they do it like birds?

Be aware that it’s not always true that seasons are opposite between northern and southern hemispheres, Australian seasons start 1 December (summer), 1 March (autumn), 1 June (winter), 1 September (Spring); Europe and America change on the solstice or equinox 20 or 21 days later

Thanks for letting me know about that one

Now with the vampire politicians gone you can help shape the new government of the city
