thanks for the tip, I’ll check out krohnkite

Been a KDE user for many years. I recently started using Niri with DankMaterialShell, and it’s pretty awesome. I suspect at some point I’ll drift back to my beloved KDE. But I’m loving the new shiny thing at the moment.

I keep a win10 VM around that I fire up on the rare instance I need to do something in windows. I agree with forgetting about dual boot.

All my airport signs run Arch, BTW.

Right, the thing that caught my eye was running a full desktop OS for a sign board.

Lake disappointment (contains no water)

Well, that would be very disappointing if your lake had no water. So I think they nailed that one.

“Maybe we should describe bacteria by their individual features and give that group a name”

We already do that. The function and genes of bacteria are what defines a bacterial species (or genus, family, or order). I do agree that the Wikipedia definition of “species” doesn’t strictly apply to bacteria due to asexual reproduction and HGT. But it is still a useful tool for classifying bacteria.

Giving it a name makes talking about the organism easier. If I know that a person is infected with Staphylococcus aureus I know that the characteristics and treatment are going to be very different than if they were infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Giving it a species name is a lot easier than saying they are infected with a coagulase positive, gram positive coccus.

My girlfriend and I followed the stinkymeat and stinkyfeet projects eagerly anticipating each update. The feet one was especially horrifying. I’m surprised he didn’t end up in the hospital.

I also feel old

zombocom! Came here to say the same thing. I still pull it up once or twice a year for inspiration. You can do anything! The unattainable is unknown!
