In Croatian, “kut” means an angle, or a corner of something, “rub” would be edge

There isn’t unfortunately always an alternative, e.g. you can’t control Logitech devices without dual booting (maybe you can do it in a VM as well, but I haven’t tried to).

My sincere, deep condolences

ok

You will pry milk from my cold, hypercalcemic hands

How is it racist if you don’t want your feed to be filled with posts from random languages you don’t understand? To most users these posts add literally nothing.

I’ll add another explanation for bitrate that I find understandable: You can think of resolution as basically the max quality of a display, no matter the bitrate, you can’t display more information/pixwls than the screen possess. Bitrate, on the other hand, represents how much information you are receiving from e.g. Netflix. If you didn’t use any compression, in HDR each pixel would require 30 bits, or 3.75 bytes of data. A 4k screen has 8 million pixels. An HDR stream running at 60 fps would require about 1.7GB/s of download wihout any compression. Bitrate is basically the measure of that, how much we’ve managed to compress that data flow. There are many ways you can achieve this compression, and a lot of it relates to how individual codecs work, but put simply, one of the many methods effectively involves grouping pixels into larger blocks (e.g. 32x32 pixels) and saying they all have the same colour. As a result, at low bitrates you’ll start to see blocking and other visual artifacts that significantly degrade the viewing experience.

As a side note, one cool thing that codecs do (not sure if literally all of them do it, but I think most by far), is that not each frame is encoded in its entirety. You have, I, P and B frames. I frames (also known as keyframes) are a full frame, they’re fully defined and are basically like a picture. P frames don’t define every pixel, instead they define the difference between their frame and the previous frame, e.g. that the pixel at x: 210 y: 925 changed from red to orange. B frames do the same, but they use both previous and future frames for reference. That’s why you might sometimes notice that in a stream, even when the quality isn’t changing, every couple of seconds the picture will become really clear, before gradually degrading in quality, and then suddenly jumping up in quality again.

That’s kind of sad, Marie died in 1934, and her daughter got a Nobel prize in 1935. I’m sure she would have been extremely proud to see her daughter also get a Nobel prize.

I don’t think that’s how that math works but sure

I’ll copy some of the answers from the WHO Q&A linked in the post:

Processed meat was classified in the same category as tobacco and asbestos, does that mean they’re equally carcinogenic?

No, processed meat has been classified in the same category as causes of cancer such as tobacco smoking and asbestos (IARC Group 1, carcinogenic to humans), but this does NOT mean that they are all equally dangerous. The IARC classifications describe the strength of the scientific evidence about an agent being a cause of cancer, rather than assessing the level of risk.

How many cancer cases per year?

According to the most recent estimates by the Global Burden of Disease Project, an independent academic research organization, about 34 000 cancer deaths per year worldwide are attributable to diets high in processed meat.

Eating red meat has not yet been established as a cause of cancer. However, if the reported associations were proven to be causal, the Global Burden of Disease Project has estimated that diets high in red meat could be responsible for 50 000 cancer deaths per year worldwide.

These numbers contrast with about 1 million cancer deaths per year globally due to tobacco smoking, 600 000 per year due to alcohol consumption, and more than 200 000 per year due to air pollution.

How much is the risk of cancer increased?

The consumption of processed meat was associated with small increases in the risk of cancer in the studies reviewed. In those studies, the risk generally increased with the amount of meat consumed. An analysis of data from 10 studies estimated that every 50 gram portion of processed meat eaten daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by about 18%.

The cancer risk related to the consumption of red meat is more difficult to estimate because the evidence that red meat causes cancer is not as strong. However, if the association of red meat and colorectal cancer were proven to be causal, data from the same studies suggest that the risk of colorectal cancer could increase by 17% for every 100 gram portion of red meat eaten daily.

I’m doubtful it does much in most cases due to browser fingerprinting, but I still use it and it sometimes can be useful to get around geo issues, plus it’s just a bit more privacy to stack on top of the measures I’m already taking, so for the price I feel like it’s worth it.

I get that, but I personally find that I often do care about the exact time, down to the minutes, and that’s harder to track with an analogue clock. I don’t have particular problems in reading them, I just often prefer digital clocks.

But I will agree that I feel analogue clocks give a better vibe of the time, since its basically a pie chart of how far you are in the day.

Sure, but my point is that Europe isn’t a monolith, just because people didn’t see that before doesn’t mean they’re Americans.

I live in Europe and I’ve never seen these in my life.

I understand that people are frustrated that the distro is getting more attention than it deserves, but to me, the product itself seems fine (apart from the developer’s politics, but if I never tried or used something made by someone I disagree with, I wouldn’t be using Lemmy). I wanted to try Hyprland, I wanted to see how useful it could be and whether I’d like it. Omarchy had a useful template that had everything important predefined and ready to go. I see a lot of people complaining about the pre-installed bloat, but a lot of it is just web apps and it’s extremely easy to remove any of it. As someone who never used Arch or Hyprland, Omarchy was an extremely useful way to get started and to learn how to use it and customise it without having to spend days figuring out how to even get the basics working.

Fair

I mean, it depends, I wouldn’t say always go for the biggest one you can, because the bigger the volume, the more it will cost to heat up and keep hot. E.g. we have a 50 liter water heater that’s enough for three people, and in the worst case scenario, it only takes like 20 minutes for it to go from cold to hot.

I’m not saying that it isn’t happening. The opposite, I personally believe it is happening on a large scale. But I feel that it’s extremely hard to measure and I’m not convinced any of these numbers are correct.

Yeah, that’s the one, I couldn’t remember off the top of my head.

This reminds me of one of the stories of potentially misaligned AI. Don’t remember the exact example, but I think it’s something like, they made an AI whose only purpose was to create spoons, its only purpose was to make spoons. So, the AI decided that the best way to achieve that was to turn the whole world into a factory for spoon creation, create nano-bots that would go to other planets, mine resources to create spoons there, and kill anyone that would try to stop it, because it doesn’t know right or wrong, it only knows it must make spoon.
