  • IMO 离谱 is closer to "eccentric", "quirky", and "unusual" than "outragous". 离谱 is certainly not a good word, but it is mellow enough that you can use it to joke about your friend, unlike "outrages".

    Edit: of course, I am not saying Trump is just "quirky"," and "eccentric", I am merely explaining the word 离谱.

  • LOL, the irony is that red note is censoring posts from those "tiktok refugee".

    It is such a western privilege to think that they can avoid unnecessary censorship and big tech monopoly by moving to Chinese platforms. When Chinese knows full well that they don't have such choice.

    To further the irony, the west actually have abundant options to avoid censorship and big tech. Yet people think they are "less usable" than google translating (big tech monopoly btw) your way into a censoring Chinese big tech monopoly...

  • LLM won't destroy copyright laws, they are the evident of the problem with copy right as you mentioned. People cannot view the content they brought in the way they want, yet company with a gigantic tech and law team can jump around the grey area for as much profit as they wish, with 0 compensation to the creator of these knowledge.

    LLM absorbing copyrighted work is not a win against copyright law, it is copyright law at work.

  • I think most people would use the publisher's website first and then resort to scihub, because scihub requires a doi or publisher's link to get the paper.

    I don't think this causes much concern, even if so, I believe a good amount of blame should still fall on the publishers and academic systems that encourages gatekeeping knowledge. Especially when these knowledges are generated by public money, then the public should rightfully have access to them.

  • I feel one of the hardship for Linux to catch on is the lack of commercial interest to make it usable for consumers.

    If this problem happened on Windows and macOS, MS and Apple would just send an engineer to spend a week or a day to have it fixed. This change has been in electron for months, and no one bother to fix it.

    Same with bugs in chrome and libsecrate, which have been open for 4 freaking years... https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libsecret/-/issues/49

    It also took chrome half a decade to support text-input-v3: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40113488#comment1, which is added by a third party developer. And it still breaks KDE's implementate https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492225 ...

  • It is understandable people are frustrated, I am frustrated, and joined several conversation regarding this problem. However, I don't appreciate some of the rant from many users. This change is certainly out-of-touch, potentially due to them don't quite foresee the amount of flatpak/kde users who are affected by this change.

    But many complaints have been dangerously close to the line, if not over the line. Their quiet month policy is reasonable IMO, developers need breaks, especially those interacts frequently with the community. Love or hate electron (same apply to CEF), these works clearly bring many wonderful apps into the linux world.

    I personally don't believe that non-contributors have the right to demand free work from the electron developers.

  • Seasoning is a polymer, which is known for its strong resistance. It is unlikely to breakdown just with one dishwasher wash.

    The seasoned surface is hydrophobic and highly attractive to oils and fats used for cooking (oleophilic).

    The protective layer itself is not very susceptible to soaps, and many users do briefly use detergents and soaps.[28]

    Unless you are dish washing it everyday and refuse to dry/reseason it, you will be fine.

    However, cast iron is very prone to rust, and the protective layer may have pinholes, so soaking for long periods is contraindicated as the layer may start to flake off.

  • My strategy is to always install program with flatpak, SDKs are also installed as flatpak, find graphical alternatives to command line programs. I don't use command line a lot, so I don't need fancy tools for it.

    I only have one system package installed for inputting unicode math symbols. So that I have a clean and easily migratable system.

  • Honestly after moving into our current home, we were able to avoid Amazon almost completely. We don't buy cookware, as carbon steel, cast iron, and stainless steel cookware lasts at least decades if not forever; we have way too many mugs from market and thrift store; and all of our clothes are thrifted with some from Costco.

    we get groceries from farmers market, local ethnic stores, or super market. We get shelf stable products like toilet paper or drinks from Costco in bulk. We barely replace our electronic, because I would fix them with spare parts from ifixit and eBay; when it do need to get replaced, I get them from bestbuy or manufacture. We get most of the cleaning products from refil store or supermarket; we would buy soap from farmers market or local supplier.

    We would only buy very obscure product from Amazon, like replacement knob for pot lid etc, but they are very very rare. One particular product we unfortunately relied on Amazon is the bamboo electric toothbrush brush head, we are trying to find some local salers that carry that, but cannot find any.

  • Installing on a old laptop is great because eventually after you get a more serious machine, you probably got enough experience to choose your distros.

    Linux mint is certainly the most promising option, especially if you are just using the laptop, and don't have any external monitors setup.
