I can't see the paper on that page, just the image, is there more to it than just the image and the claim?

What snakes have they checked?

edit: I think this is really about identifying rattlesnakes, more than about identifying venomous snakes in general. There's two counterexamples on the "anal scale" page of wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_scale

the undivided end on an elapid venomous snake, and the divided on a colubrid

It's not even an indicator, there's places where the opposite is true, this is like the myth of the vertical slit pupils meaning they're venomous, there's no actual correlation, this just coincidentally works in areas with few snake species, but you'd have to know that ahead of time, and since there's few species wherever this does work, you might as well just learn what the venomous snakes look like so this is practically completely useless.

This usually happens when somebody learns that in their local area this rule applies, and then assumes it applies everywhere.

this isn't even true

...the OS isn't proprietary, there's one piece of proprietary software installed. (not counting blobs)

Steam is an app, not an operating system.

I just set

    
upd = <distro update command>
ins = <distro install command> 
pur = <distro purge command>
uin = <distro uninstall command>

  

in every distro, I don't know why you'd want package management to be distro specific commands

I'm okay with valve replacing microsoft as the go-to proprietary operating system

You have to recognize that having an open source almost everything except a single program (steam) is better than what windows is doing by miles, right?

You can't win everything, steam is never going to stop being proprietary, but steam will cause open source to flourish with the caveat that it itself is not open source. The issue is not as black and white as you're making it seem.

Plus if steam wins, getting people to switch to fully open source operating systems will be a lot easier.

https://9to5linux.com/developer-explains-why-explicit-sync-will-finally-solve-the-nvidia-wayland-issues

here's an article explaining the changes, that article was written before they were merged, but they're merged everywhere now except wlroots. That's coming soon too.

They just did now that explicit sync is merged everywhere except wlroots

Actually wait until the next de releases hit repos, all the nvidia problems just got solved

Now that explicit sync has been merged this will be a thing of the past

First, wait for that pull request to actually show "merged" instead of open, then, wait for a release of xwayland, you can find those here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/tags

Once that's been released, note the version number of the version of xwayland that has explicit sync

https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/xorg-x11-server-Xwayland/xorg-x11-server-Xwayland/

then look here and see if the version number matches or is greater than it.

edit: woo it's merged.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/967

The short version of the story, wait until this has landed in your distro of choice, or you'll have flickering problems.

I'll consider that after i try and fail with olaf

That's an interesting solution that i'd rather avoid because it's proprietary

Also, that wouldn't distinguish the two states of call/email, I don't think.

I don't have any meetings ever. An LLM really wouldn't be able to do almost any of my work.

It's actually much more malicious hahaha. But sometimes it may be used while sleeping.

That won't work if the backend ever changes, and will be locked into a single program

https://github.com/JorenSix/Olaf I've decided to use this, i'll probably have a solution this week, i have to actually record the sounds my next workday, then i'll test it. Seems much easier to do than making a chrome extension, honestly.

It does not give a desktop notification, or even a proper chrome notification, it's just a dialogue on a page that says accept/deny

I said that in the post. The sound is the only thing to hook into. It doesn't even set chrome as urgent.

Yeah the most fulfilling thing about this job has been figuring out how to automate as much of it as possible while still pretending to be a normal worker. It's pretty terrible, i'm going to switch to herpetology eventually, but can't do that right now for various reasons I don't want to get into on a public forum.

I'm at the top of every performance metric because of my inclination to be lazy as fuck with it though, so, it works.

This is incredible and exactly what i'm looking for, i'll post my completed solution when i'm done, thank you!
