I’d say it still counts as diurnal, unless you’re actually sitting completely in the dark (and yes, the screen counts as a light source) Ü

Also, as someone who also is awake most nights, I get the impression that it’s not particular healthy, i.e. is in conflict with our biology.

All other things being equal, eyes specialized on daylight activity will just be better at the kinds of intricacies needed for shaping the tools, collecting the right materials etc., mostly because night vision is pretty much greyscale for mammals. And would humans even be as likely to start using fire if they could see in the dark? It’s obviously still useful for preparing food, but IDK that I’d choose to place a beacon of light and smoke (smell) in the night if I could see without it.

I’d assume that humans used tools long before they started using fire, because making fire is far more involved than using simple tools. Though this might actually be worth looking up.

Tool use and being nocturnal are kind of a bad fit, so it’s hard to believe that humans would have evolved in a recognizable form if they had been nocturnal.

Neat, thanks!

Examples? I feel like I could probably script more window manager-related things in my current setup, but I don’t really have any ideas what to script.

I recently checked out KaOS’ new iso with niri. It did look neat, but it had exactly the issues I just described. The window management shortcuts were unfamiliar, it took me like 15 minutes to figure out how to change keyboard layouts (in part because the general presentation suggested that there was probably a GUI method, but there wasn’t), I couldn’t even make dark mode work easily.

I could probably make niri work for me if I really wanted, but it’s a lot of work for no real benefit. I’ll probably just end up moving to sway in a couple of years when it becomes really unreasonable to keep using X11, since that one is actually designed to feel similar to the window manager I’m currently using (i3).

Arsestralia lol

I feel like opinionated linux distros that already firmly moved to wayland must already exist, but I haven’t really seriously researched this. KaOS, maybe?

I didn’t really have the patience for distro-shopping in recent years. I favor keyboard-driven setups, and the few times a distro offers that out of the box the shortcuts and config files are different enough from mine that it’s annoying to get into it.

“old” also means less healthy. No one wants to have backpain and the like, though the particular issue here is probably just the vanity of not wanting to look old (e.g. aged skin, thinning hair, those “I have pain in my back/legs/etc.”-postures, or even just having an outdated sense of style).

This stereotype isn’t China-specific, though. For Japan, the cutoff point would be WW2, which is the same as for most of Europe.

Interesting, seems like a very gendered issue.

Don’t east asian countries put tons of value on seniority? Is this changing, is china just not like that, or is there something else that I’m misunderstanding?

Do these registries even list the crime they committed, or did he just not know whether he was hammering child rapists or people who peed in public?

You can do that, but fediverse and threadiverse (Mastodon and Piefed/Lemmy/Mbin) are very different kinds of websites and it will lead to unexpected weirdness. Best to make a separate account for each type of thing (i.e. one for the twitter-like experience, one for the reddit-like, one for the instagram-like etc.).

Whether you use the same identity (e.g. same username on Mastodon and Piefed, linking your Mastodon profile in your Piefed profile etc.) for the whole fediverse is a matter of taste.

Ah. Fair, I guess I forgot about it because I didn’t make that mistake in a while.

Is that a combo you often hit on accident? Ctrl+Shift+C seems way too specific for that …

Neat feature, though. Nice to see that they still do features that aren’t about AI.

When in doubt (and if possible), keep your distance. You don’t have to slouch as much and I don’t have to look up as much.

Maybe you do.

I’d assume that there’s a lot of theoretically homosexual men who are in denial or very deeply closeted. I doubt these men have a large amount of man-on-man sex.

If Cursor doesn’t help with that, but you constantly have several devs on “putting out fire”-duty, you have a pretty strong case for taking the time to make the software not be constantly on fire. i.e. it’s probably going to save you time (man-hours) to write some proper code, and time is money.

Not that I expect your superiors to care about that.
