Choosing a hybrid Wayland Compositor
  • It honestly doesn't sound like you want existing wayland WMs. Most popular ones are tiling managers that don't target your workflow.

  • Choosing a hybrid Wayland Compositor
  • I'm aware. Krohnkite got updated to support 6

  • Choosing a hybrid Wayland Compositor
  • Even if you want tiling, Krohnkite is available for Plasma 6. It was enough for me to switch away from Sway, since I care less about minimalism.

  • Stanford University is the latest entrant to develop an open-source humanoid robot. Will future robots be cheap, and widely available, like open-source software today?
  • As robotics are essentially 3D AI

    This phrase kind of gives away that you don't know what you are talking about. "3D AI" makes no sense as a term.

  • Men, are you physically affectionate with other male friends? (eg, hugging, snuggling, playful wrestling, etc). If you aren't, do you wish it was more socially acceptable if it isn't in your culture?
  • I hug my guy friends when I haven't seen them in a while (e.g. my friends who live far away). Snuggling is super weird, and I don't know of any guys who have done that. Feels like if I did, my wife would not be very happy. Affectionate fighting seems just over the top. Seems like something limited to children and movies.

    I think the amount of physical affection I get from other men is fine. Don't really need more

  • Nintendo Issues Multiple DMCAs On The Modding Site 'GameBanana'
  • plenty of it doesn’t come from a company doing lousy stuff like this

    So you only play indie games? Because that's basically the only way you avoid "companies doing lousy stuff."

  • Microsoft is reportedly in early stages of working on a remaster of Halo: Combat Evolved and is considering launching it on PlayStation 5
  • Last of Us was rereleased the same number of times in a shorter period. Not that this excuses the lack of innovation, but it's not the worst example of re-releasing a game.

  • Alien: Romulus | Official Trailer
  • Nothing really stands out. Looks like just more Aliens. I liked Evil Dead 2013, so I'll hold my judgement.

  • How easy is it to switch back to windows?
  • I would argue that it is better to have two separate drives for the installation. It simplifies things for non tech savvy people, and I believe Windows has less of an opportunity to mess with your linux install, such as messing with the efi partition.

  • "Maybe This is Too Cool" - After years of layoffs and pay/resource freezes, Amazon execs treat themselves to a private Foo Fighters concert worth millions
  • Again, not giving them a free pass. Just pointing out the terminology used is an overstatement.

  • "Maybe This is Too Cool" - After years of layoffs and pay/resource freezes, Amazon execs treat themselves to a private Foo Fighters concert worth millions
  • I mean, I'm not exactly giving FF a pass here but rewarded is factually incorrect considering FF was paid to do the gig. The show wasn't some free pat on the back for the execs doing such a great job.

  • AI and Robots Are Automating the IVF Process: Here's How It's Already Helped 11 Women Get Pregnant
  • Maybe the AI writing the articles are just taking credit for everything. "Yeah, that was me"

  • What do you think of the term "short king" as a term that's supposed to champion body positivity for men?
  • Personally I do not let internet trends affect my behavior out in the real world. Why is that? Because if I use the term "short king" anywhere in the real world, 99% of people won't know what I'm talking about. Until you hear a real person say it (that means not on lemmy, not on twitter, not on dating apps, etc. or people you meet through these platforms) you can assume that there is no real impact to be had there. I think we give way too much credit to the internet for affecting real life trends. Most people don't care about these cute terminologies people come up with, and neither should you. The term was made to get someone attention, not to make short people feel better.

  • Help with kitty terminal
  • Ctrl + Shift + - should decrease the font size of the current terminal, which isn't what you are looking for, but could be useful while you sort it out. Is it possible that the font in the config doesn't exist, causing this issue?

  • Linux kernel Rust coding guidelines are heretic.
  • What happens when the defaults change? Is old code all of a sudden not following the style guidelines?

  • Why making pretend people with AGI is a waste of energy
  • I'm talking about the energy and resources to actually create and provide this service.

  • Why making pretend people with AGI is a waste of energy
  • Depends on how much energy it takes. If it takes more resources than it frees, then I'd say it is not worth it.

  • Anyone tried CoffeeSock? A V60 Style Reusable Cloth Coffee Filter
  • I don't have experience with the coffeesock, but I have use the Hario Woodneck filters daily. My method is this: boil water, run hot water through filter, add grinds, then do normal pourover method (may want to adjust grind since it may drain faster). After brewing, dump grinds in compost, rinse filter, put filter in small jar. Pour leftover boiling water from kettle into jar. Store in the fridge until tomorrow. Periodically (preferably monthly), you should clean the filter by soaking it in a combination of water and a little Cafiza. You have to really rinse well after the soak, because you really don't want to taste that in your coffee. I have never used a Moccamaster, but I don't see why this filter wouldn't work for that since it takes V60 filters.

    This process is basically what Hoffman recommends. I personally prefer my coffee through this filter since I like the oils of the coffee, but don't really want the fines passing through the filter. That said, it does get very tedious sometimes; I have a metal filter that I use when I'm too lazy to go through this whole process. They aren't really much of a cost-saving or waste-reducing measure. It takes quite a few pourovers before you save money (though I dunno, maybe you buy really fancy filters) and paper coffee filters are compostable. The most cost-effective solution really is a metal filter. However I think the fabric filters produce the best coffee IMO, but I'd imagine people who prefer lighter roasts might actually prefer the paper filters.

  • Looking for application to do very simple 2D animation

    I spend a lot of time creating system diagrams for presentations. I always use Inkscape to draw these diagrams. However I ran into a scenario where I wanted to animate them. The animations I'm looking for are dead simple. I want to be able to fade in, fade out, and slide basic shapes. The way I worked around it this time was by using PowerPoint. However, is there an FOSS alternative I could use? I would probably need to also export the animation into a gif or some other platform agnostic format. Bonus points for something that can use the images I draw in Inkscape.

    Temperature drop with pourover

    I'm using a Fellow Stag and a metal V60 with a fabric filter. I do a 1:16 ratio (16g of coffee and 256g of water). Generally I'll place the V60 on the Stag while it brings the water up to a boil in order to heat it up. Then I'll saturate the fabric filter with the hot water. I'll use 212F water, but after pouring the water over the grounds, my instant read thermometer will read 195F. It seems weird that despite doing everything in my power to preheat all the equipment, the water drops a lot in temperature as soon as it hits the grounds. Any tips to tackle this problem?
