Are you a fan of the Kitty terminal emulator? Maybe you want to learn more about it? Are you trying to learn how to map that one action in your config? Come ask here :)

Our observationally-constrained projections based on attribution results also suggest that we may experience an unprecedented ice-free Arctic climate in the next decade or two, irrespective of emission scenarios,” the study authors wrote. “This would affect human society and the ecosystem both within and outside the Arctic, through changing Arctic marine activities as well as further accelerating the Arctic warming and thereby altering Arctic carbon cycling.”

According to NASA, Arctic sea ice in the summer is shrinking 12.6% per decade from global warming compared to average summer sea ice extent in 1981 to 2010.

... [Dr. Kishonna Gray] connected with a group of Black teens who agreed to meet her in Grant Park to show her how the game works. However, the young men were rebuffed by security in the area, their numbers and their Blackness disruptive, Gray said, to the white sensibilities of that part of the city. So the teens began heading back home to the predominantly Black neighborhood of Englewood.

Dr. Gray instead headed out to Englewood to meet them. After all, couldn’t Pokémon Go be played anywhere? Wasn’t this one of its selling points, part of what made it so exciting? “I couldn’t have been more wrong,” Gray told the conference. “When I went out there to try to find a [Pokéstop], there were none around.” She shows a slide contrasting a cluster of interactable points in the game in and around Grant Park with the dearth of them in Englewood. Well, okay, she admits, there were not quite none. “There was one,” she says. “It was a statue in the park. And it was a Confederate statue.”

NASA's Parker Solar Probe (PSP) has flown close enough to the sun to detect the fine structure of the solar wind close to where it is generated at the sun's surface, revealing details that are lost as the wind exits the corona as a uniform blast of charged particles.

It's like seeing jets of water emanating from a showerhead through the blast of water hitting you in the face.

In a paper to be published in the journal Nature, a team of scientists led by Stuart D. Bale, a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley, and James Drake of the University of Maryland-College Park, report that PSP has detected streams of high-energy particles that match the supergranulation flows within coronal holes, which suggests that these are the regions where the so-called "fast" solar wind originates.

A federal judge has struck down parts of Florida’s laws and policies banning gender-affirming care, saying that the bans contradict “widely accepted standards” of medical care. While the judge’s decision only affects three of the seven families of trans youth who sued state officials over the ban, legal observers say the judge’s ruling could help restore healthcare for countless trans Floridians of all ages.

In a meta-analysis published June 5 in the journal Current Biology, scientists estimate that as much as 13.12 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) fixed by terrestrial plants is allocated to mycorrhizal fungi annually—roughly equivalent to 36% of yearly global fossil fuel emissions.

Because 70% to 90% of land plants form symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi, researchers have long surmised that there must be a large amount of carbon moving into the soil through their networks.

"We always suspected that we may have been overlooking a major carbon pool," says author Heidi Hawkins, research lead at Conservation South Africa and research associate on plant-soil-microbe interactions at the University of Cape Town. "Understandably, much focus has been placed on protecting and restoring forests as a natural way to mitigate climate change. But little attention has been paid to the fate of the vast amounts of carbon dioxide that are moved from the atmosphere during photosynthesis by those plants and sent below ground to mycorrhizal fungi."

Kitty overlays are new window sessions that can be brought up over existing sessions. When the overlay is closed, the window session it overlayed is returned to where you can continue your work in its context.

In the linked gif I have three windows open in the tall layout. I then open my htop overlay in each in turn; after which I toggle to the stack layout and open my btop overlay. I end by closing the overlay and toggling off stack and back to tall layout.

You'll see near the top of my config that I have several overlays besides these two. It's actually a feature that could keep me on kitty for a while as I've grown so used to it my terminal experience would feel incomplete without them now.

This vertically oriented logarithmic map spans nearly 20 orders of magnitude, taking us from planet Earth to the edge of the Observable Universe. The scheme locates notable astronomical objects of various scales: spacecraft, moons, planets, star systems, nearby galaxies, and notable large-scale structures are some of the objects indicated.

An endeavor to provide a concise yet comprehensive view of the Big Picture, with a meticulous and realistic approach to presenting a wide range of astronomical knowledge through thoughtful design.

Hey all, I'm not sure how to promote new communities so I thought I'd start here. I'm a huge fan of the kitty terminal emulator and didn't find a community dedicated to it, so I decided to create one :) If you're into kitty, terminal emulators generally, or sometimes just like to help people with technical issues it'd be awesome if you stopped by occasionally :)

I like to donate to FOSS projects I use so that other people don't have to. How can I support my home instance? Perhaps I need my eyes checked but I don't see a Patreon link or the like in the main sidebar
