Can somebody explain the fruit thing? I've seen fruit flies demolish fresh fruit. The amount of yeast biomass on them must be negligible at that point. Do the eggs/larvae spread the yeast before they start eating?

Ganz ehrlich ich will auch weniger DönerlÀden. Jede Stadt hat 30 LÀden und 3 davon sind gut.

Die richtige Maßnahme ist also keine Obergrenze fĂŒr die Anzahl der LĂ€den, sondern strenge QualitĂ€tskontrollen und eine Dönerpreisbremse

finally somebody explains the joke, thank you :D

People aren't asking her to nuke israel, they're asking her to stop funding Israel.

Wow I grew up eating this stuff and only today do I learn it's spelled Plootz. Always thought it was Bloz

The ad revenue part is true but what do you mean by not harvesting data? Mastodon definitely stores your boosts and likes, it just doesn't use that data to recommend more content. And the big difference is of course that it is stored on your instance's server, not a centralized location.

That's fair! Although I fear big money will always come up with some way to make a "better" UX, either simply because they can afford more/better devs, and often by compromising privacy, accessibility, etc.

embrace extend extinguish has worked in the past and it can work again

So it should be Plato not Socrates in the meme?

It's centralized. They allow federation using their own protocol.

But all you need to know is that it's a capitalist, for-profit undertaking.

it's quite different in the sense that you don't see any recommended content, just your follows and their boosts.

Hey friends!

Basically, here is my problem. I open the launcher menu (or KRunner) and start typing. Let's say I type "firefox", and hit Enter.

The launcher menu is very slow. It often opens "Files" instead, because that pops up after I type the first two letters.

Basically this means I need to wait a second for the launcher to finish searching, show me firefox, and then press enter.

This is frankly infuriating. Every other launcher on any other desktop or WM does not have this issue.

I have experienced this on two different machines running both Plasma 5 and 6, on different distros, both are beefy machines.

I'm sure there is a way to avoid it, does anybody know?

Hey, I've been hearing a LOT about the xz backdoor. Crazy story, but rather than reading 10 different articles about it from 3 days ago when the story was quite new, does anybody know a high quality write-up that has all the juicy details and facts? I really like in-depth guides that cover every aspect of the story.

Thanks in advance guys!

After years of suspecting ADHD (and two decades of struggling), I decided that maybe I have ADHD. While I wait for an answer from the psychologists, I decided to take an online ADHD self-diagnosis questionnaire out of curiosity.

I found myself mousing over and highlighting the text in one of the questions over and over, thinking about something my girlfriend told me the other day, struggling to actually read the question. When I finally read the question, it was:

How often are you easily distracted by external stimuli, like something in your environment or unrelated thoughts?

Safe to say I started laughing out loud. Starting to feel pretty certain that I'm one of you :P

(I am still mid questionnaire)
