The model that was used to make the 120,000 statement accounts for changes in temperature variability over time. This is a weird thing to complain about unless you are criticizing a specific part of the model that was used for this analysis. A similar thing goes for the comment about precision, not only do you not know if that's the case but also it's already been accounted for as part of the model (and really is accounted for in the majority of statistical methods by default).

This is like when you see climate change deniers claim "but the climate already warms and cools in cycles so we should expect periods of natural warming" as if that's not already accounted for by any modern model of climate change. Which it is.

I did a little reading, and it seems like mean temperatures getting hotter tends to lead to the the standard deviation either remaining the same or decreasing, meaning with perhaps some other info you should be able to make a reasonable estimate of the standard deviation or put an upper bound on it. But I'm not a climatologist, I don't know all of the details on how this particular analysis was done and don't know how this was necessarily factored into that, though I do know that it accounted for changes in variability. And frankly, it could be reasonably assumed that that was the case, because overlooking something like changes in variability would be a pretty silly error to make as a climatologist.

If the only concern was science journalism mis-reporting the statements of scientists, then yeah that happens surprisingly often and is a reasonable concern, but once you've seen experts saying this as well rather than just hearing it second-hand from the journalists the concern requires much more substantiation.

it's time for your 4pm communal pissing

Enshittification of tech etc etc

The extreme customization it offers is fun, but even on my gaming rig the updates of source packages are unbearably slow, I would never use it as a daily driver.

Yeah, after a number of people tried to go after Mozilla for hiring trans people, those kinds of people are mostly on Brave nowadays

meanwhile linux users:

finally, the Twitter Blade is complete

my condolences

Fun fact: Alfred Nobel was the inventor of dynamite, and prior to establishing the Nobel Prize, it's what he was primarily known for. It was an explosive that became infamous for its use in war at the time, there was even a French paper that wrote "the merchant of death is dead" to announce the death of his brother whom they had mistaken for him. Though noone knows exactly why he created the prize, some people think he did it because he didn't want to remember as "that guy who invented the bomb". If that's true, then he succeeded, because nowadays most people know him as "the Nobel Prize guy"

So it would actually be extremely fitting if Oppenheimer won the prize for the atomic bomb. And if Nobel did in fact start the prize in order to rewrite his legacy, then it would still be pretty ironic, just for a different reason.

Oppenheimer never won the nobel prize. He was nominated numerous times, but never won.

him accidentally uninstalling gnome shell in the process of installing steam was so fucking good dude

Yeah, Mihoyo is actively hostile towards Linux users, people have made patches in the past to make their games work on Linux, but Mihoyo usually ends up sending legal threats and getting those people taken down, or adding their own patches that make the previous patches not work anymore. If not for that, I guarantee their games would be easily playable on Linux.

If you're interested though, I can send a DM with an alternative. I don't actually use it myself but I've heard good things about it. Unlike with Mihoyo, it doesn't include spyware that stays open after you close the game, stays around after you uninstall, or automatically starts up whenever you boot.

Have you tried out the Lightly theme before? It's very similar to Breeze, but IMO it looks very pretty. Like a more modern version of Breeze, kind of like what I'd hope Breeze would look like in Plasma 6.

Wait, grub broke again? Glad I moved to systemd-boot forever ago

it started with the Tiananmen Square riots

It actually started with British Marxist-Leninists who criticized the USSR's use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, and the communists who defended the USSR's imperialism were called tankies.

It started as a way to call out people who call themselves communists but nonetheless engage in or defend imperialism, and to this day that remains the meaning of the word. There are some liberals out there who use the word against all leftists, as a way to imply that leftism is inherently authoritarian. But that is not largely how it is used online, and it's definitely not how OP was using it.

Nearly every capitalist leader has been anti-LGBT. This is silly.
