SciShow is good people making science content aimed at a general audience.

I don't understand all the friction Gnome gets. Yes, I'm satisfied with everything default on the Debian/ Fedora Workstation. That's because the DE get's the hell out of my way and most everything can be easily managed without touching the mouse.

Those two things alone are so important to me, and such an improvement over Windows, that I've just never gotten around to trying other DE seriously.

Audiophiles get a lot of friction, but this kind of person exists in almost any hobby. People fascinated by equipment and ascetics who loose the plot about what their hobby is all about.

Conspiracy theories can be a coping mechanism that allow people to feel like they understand a complicated and scary world. The Epstein scandal is complicated and scary.

The reason circumcision is common in the US has more to do with people like RFK jr. than it does with people like Epstein.

The idea isn't falsifiable. Therefore it's not science.

It's not dumb or foolish to think that ideas like this are plausible and cool. They may even be true, we just can't tell the difference with science.

Sulfuric Acid isn't ideal for dissolving bodies, because it doesn't dissolve bones well. It has many legitimate uses such as water purification, which the article points out.

Honestly with all the terrible shit we know happened, I don't understand the urge to turn this into an episode of Dexter. Is child-abuse island it not interesting enough?

 

All anyone cares about is which powerful man gets embarrassed. And I recon it's more likely that Maxwell will get out early than any predator gets jail.

There were HUNDREDS of victims; it went on for decades; and nobody gives a tiny shit. Have you heard anybody propose a law, a task force, even a blue ribbon commission to find out how this happened or make sure nobody does this again? Are their any more resources for victims because of this?

Our society accepts that men of wealth are entitled to abuse people. And sexual abuse is all in the game. Because at the end of the day our legal system is constructed to protect these people from the rabble, not hold them to account.

A pedophile is political designation to strip rights, dignity, and legitimacy from enemies. Children being harmed is beside the point.

I own Windows 11 and my computer and preferred OS (Fedora) support TPM and Secure boot. Is it worth the time to configure that stuff to run W11, or should I just continue to run W10 since I don't do anything but run a couple games?

I have a robust backup, so even a system wide Nuke is a day's worth of re-installing, worst case.

Honestly, since I boot W10 so rarely, it'll kinda be nice not to have to update it every time.
