Hello, fellow Dendron user. I haven't found good-enough alternatives either.

They're loud because silence is not a priority in their design and their fans run non-stop.

Yes. One might want to take care of the main stuff the usual way at least in part before passing on to the bidet, though, so as not to risk soiling. Source: Argentina, land of bidets.

That would be a reimplementation of the venerable HP 95LX palmtop.

Too bad its UI is ugly and its update procedures make me nervous. It needs a rewrite.

The message seems to be: sales is a soul-sucking job, a demoralizing exercise on psychopathic exploitation in which making people feel something (be it good or not) is the way into their wallets.

Looking forward to there being some derivative technology for mosquitoes.

For anyone interested in the phenomenon of consciousness who finds this microtubules idea suspiciously impenetrable like I do, I suggest to look into the Reticular Activation System in the human brain, which acts as its on-off switch and could well be its seat too.

"And up to this point, no other VPN solution has ever been integrated into the kernel." Not so. IPSec is implemented by a kernel module.

It's probably the carbs.

We exist but p-zombies, as far as we can tell, do not. So their existence is a hypothesis we cannot assume.

And without milk. Milk has no place in mate cocido. There's a different name for combining it with milk (mate de leche).

It's not a matter of disrespect as much as of disobeyance. If there isn't (or shouldn't be) any subordination, disobeyance may not imply disrespect. The problem arises when people differ about whether there's subordination.

Right on!

To make it explicit for those who haven't tasted it, mother's milk tastes distinctly sweet (literally), in a way cow milk does not.

So yeah, there's a probable purpose for sweet receptors. An interesting question is whether seeking sweet foods in modern adult life, which would probably not have been available in our evolution, guides us to a healthy diet.

I know. It may well be so, but I'm willing to try it because I don't find "may contribute" to be a strong deterrent, even supposing it's not wrong. There are many people with various inflammations that have found the carnivore diet to be very effective, (e.g., see Mikhaila Peterson). It may be that red meat is bad, or not entirely healthy, and the diet could still work because it's a very extreme keto and elimination diet. Elimination diets are known to work, see the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet. Leaving out all processed food or some vegetables could mean excluding some unknown allergenic or noxious substance to which some of us may be too sensitive to. There's also an interesting argument about it being the diet we evolved with for millions of years.

Same here, but I opted for the carnivore diet.

The traditional TradingView black Friday discount always deserves a mention. Although this year it's only 40% off the Plus plan, the Premium one costs only one dollar more so there's that.

The collective "intelligence and character of the masses" was a topic of the highest relevance back in 1939, particularly to a Jew like Einstein, while the average of its individuals less so (and of more interest to the racist ideologies he opposed). And this is not a metaphor: it is literally what is said in the note. On the contrary, it's a stretch to interpret it as a reference to the individuals in the masses instead of the masses themselves.

I wish somebody takes it up again. I'll keep using it for the foreseeable future because it's great, and haven't found better alternatives.

Extreme luck is indistinguishable from proficiency. Or magic, for that matter.

Good candidate for a computer science case study.

Very interesting, I like its design better. Could you comment on whether bupstash supports ACLs (POSIX, xattr, etc.)? According to issue #25 it does, but I couldn't find documentation on how to exclude it when restoring, viewing it, etc.

It's the spike protein that would mutate so as not to be attached by antibodies, but it would still attach to cell receptors (probably different ones).

Yes, new mRNA vaccines could be produced and distributed, thereby generating even more tolerance as this article shows and making things even worse for people's immune systems if so. The point is these vaccines are generating resistance to the virus but at the same time, unlike traditional ones, they are making the immune systems tolerant of the virus. The infection is incompletely suppressed, symptoms are mild or imperceptible, but the virus is getting passed on despite being partly suppressed.

The emergence of new strains is favored when there is a large medium (the reservoir population of people, tolerant but infected and shedding) where the virus can proliferate (thus plenty of viral code copying, where mutations happen) and where there is selective pressure (i.e., an advantage to the new strain such as being able to enter cells even more effectively because of the lack of interference compared to the current strain) for a mutated virus to thrive.

It would be harder to tackle because it would be even more infective than the current strain (given the tolerance that has been introduced in the population) but at the same time more aggressive (because more cells being entered would mean more damage to the body) and maybe with different kinds of damage (because it could trigger autoimmune responses, they say, although I'm not sure how that argument goes).

I'm not an expert on this so I cannot elaborate further, but that's the idea as far as I grasp it. We'll see, I guess.

My chosen solution to all this is Dendron. It's not perfect yet, but I found it better than the rest.

Some argue that precisely that mechanism generates evolutionary pressure for the virus to mutate so as to avoid being attached to by the antibodies but still being able to enter the cell (maybe through a different receptor, and there exist some viable candidates for this). The fact that such a large population has been vaccinated with mRNA vaccines, it is thought, has created a huge reservoir for the virus to attempt such a mutation because all those people get infected and shed the virus while being mostly asymptomatic or experiencing mild symptoms. New strains should soon appear if this is correct, and some other dire predictions are made in that case (see Geert Vanden Bossche).

He may have said that about Don Quijote, but it may well have been just another humorous comment by him. He was known for his dry humor and deadpan delivery. He was extremely learned, no doubt about it, but the reader has to keep in mind that about half of the elaborate citations and detailed references he uses in his writings were simply his fabrications, his way to play with the reader's ability to make out reality from fiction. He loved labyrinths, and putting people in them. Source: born and raised in Argentina, having a Literature professor as mother and another one as wife.

"Like the workplace itself, for most of us the stock market is simply another arena of capital extraction". So, to the author, workplace is an arena of capital extraction. Although the comparison is uncalled for, I'm glad of this candid Marxism because it lets me put this opinion piece in perspective. Given that bias I don't think I'll spend time reading it unless I'm bored.

Logseq forces to use too many bullets for my linking. I prefer Dendron, although it takes a bit of an effort at first.

Get your iron ass over to Errius.
