Would have been slightly funnier and nerdier with the Dimetrodon IMHO.

As a whole? Basically none. It's advantageous for the males though, it's something that evolved in a context of sexual conflicts (males and females have contradictory evolutionary optima). Here the males advantage is to have a many mates as possible while the female is advantaged by being choosy regarding its mate(s).

Evolution is not always about optimising things for a whole species.

"Epigenetics shows..." cries in evolutionary biology having demonstrated inter-generational plasticity for more than 30 years, totally ignored by molecular geneticists who discovered after everybody else that everything is not about DNA

If it kills your cells, it can't be bad, right?

Reminds me of this website happily reporting that you should eat curcuma because curcumin was shown (?) to be a possible cellular anti-proliferating... 🤦

Shortcut to input a string of text in Plasma Wayland (jlai.lu)
 

OK, so I'm a heavy user of the native pipe in R which goes like this "|>". This is particularly painful to type on French keyboard, so on Plasma X11, I had a little script using xdotools to input |> when I pressed Ctrl+$. Very comfortable!

With the switch to Plasma 6, I'm now using Wayland because one needs to live with one time, I guess. But this means I lost the ability to use xdotools to do that.

I tried wtype, which seemed easy, but it doesn't seem to work in Plasma (and is not maintained any more?).

I tried ydotools, which is harder to set up (it requires running a deamon as root, which is not convenient and also defeats the security purpose of Wayland I guess? Maybe not, I'm no expert). The problem with ydotools is that it doesn't seem to be aware of the keyboard layout, and since my keyboard is French AZERTY, it outputs gibberish instead of, well, |>.

So, here's my question for you guys: do you know of any other (if possible, easy as wtype is/was) way to setup a string input associated to a shortcut?

Plasma 6 & Gnome 46 just arrived in Slowroll (new snapshot) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Anyone here using Slowroll as a daily driver? I guess the upgrading to Plasma 6 will be quite smoother than with Tumbleweed, which clearly shows the utility of this distribution, but I was wondering about how it goes as a daily driver.

Also, anyone knows whether consecutive snapshot upgrades are openQA'd specifically for Slowroll?

That's exactly the goal of Peer Community In: you put your paper on some archive, you ask a "Recommender" to recommend the paper, they select reviewers and the lot, and they decide to recommend or not your paper after some iteration of the process (classical peer review I'd say). Then you can update your paper in a final version, with a kind of stamped version saying it was recommended by XXX (the peer review process is published along as well, I believe).

It's currently being staged. I guess how much time for it to make to TW is mostly a matter of how well it'll pass QA. Hopefully, it's a matter a (very) few days.

A tool to filter and reorganise iCalendar (ICS) files? (jlai.lu)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi,

I would like to reorganise a big calendar into several smaller ones, e.g. based on the categories of events (say categories "Birthday" would be moved to a "Birthday" calendar and so on). I know it could some up with some highly convoluted awk script to filter the very unfriendly ICS format, but I thought I could simplify my life and use the work of some nice person who certainly had come up with a tool to manipulate ICS files (GUI or CLI), right?

It turns out, I can find many small scripts or Github repos named "icsfilter" or the like, but nothing seemingly quite established.

That's why I turn to this great community: anybody who was confronted to the same problem and could recommend a nice utility to filter ICS files?

Thanks a lot!

Monde à Paris ce week-end ? (jlai.lu)
 

Quelqu'un sait pourquoi Paris est noir de monde et les transports blindés (enfin, plus que d'habitude) ce week-end ?

Coupe du monde ? Fashion week ? Météo ? Autre ?

Show community icon (jlai.lu)
 

Hi there! I'm trying Boost currently, liking a lot so far. Something I'm missing from Jerboa is the ease to recognise the community from a post using the community icon. I see no option to get that in Boost. Am I missing something?

Instance injoignable ? (jlai.lu)
 

Salut,

Je cherche à m'abonner depuis jlai.lu à des communautés de mon autre instance de rattachement (mander.xyz), et malgré le fait que l'instance est censée être liée, je ne trouve pas les communautés en cherchant directement ou par URL.

C'est normal ?
