But it's a good time to put /home on a separate partition and make backups of files you edited in /etc so you can switch distros quickly.

Ah yes, the constitution has such a good track record stopping Trump.

Got references?

In this thread 3 separate users are in favor of war crimes on civilians and genocide, while the fourth argues against it by limiting themselves to favor extrajudicial killing, within a single conversation. It doesn't sound very hyperbolic.

And that's just what fit in the screenshot.

No one is saying they don’t deserve human rights?

Read a few threads on lemmy about this war. There are a lot of people saying that.

Make the portal more saturated and cover up the back lower leg with it.

The meme implies anyone not standing with Palestine isn't human.
Which I'm speaking up against. Even the worst people are humans, and all humans deserve human rights.
That's kind of the point of them.
And that has nothing to do with my opinion on Israel or Palestine.

I'm new to nebula and this is really frustrating:
Even on 360x resolution I can't watch video continuously. It stops to load for longer periods than it plays.
I then tried to download videos with yt-dlp and get <40KiB/s download speed.
My (tested) internet speed is at 30MB/s.

Anyone else experienced this? Is there something I can do?
Like this, nebula is completely unusable to me.
I'm in Germany, if that makes a difference.

That has two issues:

  1. The water they want to measure comes from a different source than the lab water. Subtracting the lab water's contamination from that of the measured water would make no sense, since you'd get different results for the measured water's content depending on the lab water's purity.
  2. You need a zero baseline to calibrate your measurements. No matter which method you use to measure, you'll always have a measuring error. Which means your measurement will show some amount even with perfectly pure water.
    Calibration with pure water will tell you X result is the systematic measuring error, so that is what you do subtract.

I don't know the specifics of his experimental setup, only what he told me, but my guess is that the differences between the measured water and the control water weren't clear enough to get a statistically significant result.

A friend of mine worked at a research project 15 years ago, trying to determine how strongly several different causes could effect the amount of microplastics in drinking water.
He couldn't publish it because they weren't able to source any water without microplastic contamination for the control samples.

I used to always bounce back and forth between Gnome, Plasma, Sway and Hyprland.
I love tiling compositors, but I also love having a fully functional desktop without stitching together two dozen different tools and configuring each separately. I got better things to do than edit text files for days.

And I think I found my holy grail: niri with Dank Material Shell.
DMS really is something else. A fully-fledged DE that sits on top of a tiling wayland compositor, with a workflow similar to Gnome and GUI customization options similar to Plasma.

I realize I'm shilling hard here, but I don't even know the guy who made it. I'm just genuinely floored by the project's quality.

Edit: Thanks for the help, Yazi seems to be what I'm looking for.

Basically the title. I am looking to use a TUI file manager, but most seem to only support opening files in one external application based on mime-type.

What I need:
Select an image -> file manager shows a preview (unpixelated)
Open image -> it opens in my default image viewer
Open image with... -> file manager lets me select a program to open it

I need this cause I often want to open images in gimp, but I don't want it to be my default image viewer.
