36% of the eligible population didn't vote and that can only mean they were fine with both Trump and Harris. That makes 71% of the population - the majority of the people.

That article has a number of problems.

The force of gravity is weak. And not just a little bit weak. It’s so much weaker than the other three fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—that it’s almost impossible to provide analogies.

Gravity isn't a force. It's the curvature of spacetime, the bending itself. You can't compare it to the three other forces.

We can’t see the bulk, touch the bulk, experience the bulk, or otherwise interact with the bulk because our entire universe—all the particles and forces of nature—are restricted to life on the brane.

That means it isn't falsifiable. It's same as believing in god - it's faith and not a scientific theory. Also the article says:

Physicists just need some way to pierce the veil of the brane and peer into the realm of the bulk.

How should physicists do that when by definition a bulk can't be detected? In the later parts it is claimed that the bulk-brane-interactions somehow influences gravity and that this influence could be detected. I call bullshit.

If our running knowledge of gravity is mistaken

We know that our understanding of gravity is flawed because we can't unify it with the theory of quantum mechanics. But there must be a link between them.

In 2019, the LIGO detector (...) measured gravitational waves emanating from the merger of a black hole with … something else. The black hole had a mass of around 23 solar masses. Its companion had a mass of only 2.6 solar masses. That’s far too small to be a black hole … but also a little too big to be a neutron star.

Objects with a mass above 2.5 solar masses are likely light weight black holes. Source

The whole article consists only of a lot of 'could be', nothing tangible and bullshit.

I agree. It makes much more sense to colonize the Moon first. The challenges are almost the same: A lot of radiation and an environment that is hostile to (human) life. Whatever we develop to live there will also enable us to live on Mars but it's much more convenient and cheaper to start on the Moon.

Also: When we get the ability to terraform Mars we can use that to terraform Earth too!

I'm also 40-something and I see all that stuff around me. It's hard not to notice. All the (6) colleagues in my office room are divorced and in most cases the (ex-)wife is the reason. And when I see the other women... there aren't a lot of good choices.

Some guys would do that because they know they won't have a chance to get a 'better' woman.

The problem is women and men are different and they treat each other differently.

No man would would push down a young beautiful woman from the edge of a bed. Women notice that and are flattered that they are wanted so much. Honestly women only need not to be obese and the guys will line up. But that's only true for young woman. After 30-35-year-old most women beauty diminish rapidly.
Men on the other hand age visibly slowly. A lot of women still judge them handsome when the guys are already 40 or 50 years old. (There are of course ugly 40 and 50 years old.) But young men are more often only playthings and only the 6-6-6 ones have a good shot a being choosy.

Which is true. But! Men <30 years old usually are more tolerant in what they accept. They'll take almost any woman 18-30 years, low or high income, fat or skinny, beautiful or ugly, etc.

Women below 30 years age on the other hand often are fixated on 6-6-6 rule (6+ foot height, 6 digits income, 6 pack) which are like the top 1% of the male population. Once they are older and want to 'settle down' they won't get any of these top guys because these guys can cherrypick their women. And then the women are disappointed by the 'left-overs'. I'm not an incel but I can understand why it (sometimes? often?) happens this way.

How to solve this? No idea.
How did couple come together 100 years ago? What did they do different back then?

Denmark doesn't want to sell their citizens.

The USA military does not have the capacity to fight the whole EU.

Also the EU membership means they are all in a defense pact (separate from NATO). See Article 42.7 in the Treaty of Lisbon.

The question isn't if the European countries want to fight the USA. The question is if the USA wants to fight the European countries.

The USA does not has the capacity to win a war against the rest of NATO. The other EU countries will defend Denmark.

Usually config directories and file are found in /etc. I guess there's a /etc/imapsync/imapsync.conf
If there isn't then the conf-file(s) should be somewhere in the /home directory.

Try the man page if one exists. That one should explain everything: man imapsync

You didn't understand. They are performing a dance from The Nutcracker. In Russia they always show The Nutcracker in state tv when they prepare the announcement of something major - like the death of the current president.

 

Is there a (non-medical) word for the border/skin fold between butt and thigh?

I have a feeling there is one.

 

All the supermarkets seems to sell the same brands and I have no idea if any of them are mostly processed in Europe or elsewhere in the world.

Do you have recommendations? I like the ones with a fruity taste more.

This one is my current favorite:

They claim on the package that they care about sustainability, better working conditions and social engagement.

 

Hi fellow selfhosters!

What hostnames do you use for your systems and services?
And maybe why if it's an interesting story.

I'll start:
Steam Deck: krax
Smartphone: krix (once I get LineageOS installed again)
MiniPC: krux
Reserved for future use: krex & krox

Creative, I know. 😅 The names have no deeper meaning. The x comes from Linux. That's it.

I know some of you use god names of certain pantheons, such as Thor. But I find that boring as a lot of people are doing that.  
 
 

Now let your pants down and tell me all about

your embarrassing host names!

MMO mouse for linux? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/linux@lemmy.ml
 

Hi!

I'm looking for an inexpensive MMO mouse (that's a mouse with way more that five buttons) that's fully supported by Linux.

That also means there's some kind of tool that lets me configure what all the extra buttons do.
For example I want to map Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V and virtual desktop switching to the mouse buttons.

But honestly it's difficult to find any such mouse.
I stumbled upon this link and there are several mouses listed. The first place isn't on sale anymore. It was also way to expensive. The second place has this rubber coating that dissolves in disgusting black paint after a year or two. The article also mentioned 8 programmable buttons but the mouse only has 6 and 7 button variants. The third one doesn't have enough buttons. And so on.

Is there a site/place where I can search and compare mouses with lots of buttons that has a configuration/mapping tool running on Linux?

I first thought to reach out to a mouse/periphery/hardware community but chose not to do it. Most people do not use Linux so answers from them won't be as helpful as yours.

Thank you for your time!

 

I don't know whats going on. This post currently has 44 comments.

I would like to to continue using the default web ui (the first one). I like it the most. But it's the one that somehow doesn't loading everything and I don't know why.

Is there a bug?
