You're doubling down on it? That's cute. The structure was figured out after Rosalind Franklin, an absolute genius on X-ray diffraction, collected all the data that Crick and Watson used and purposefuly didn't credit. It wasn't LSD, it was their female colleague, who gave them the missing information required to infer the proper shape.

Single you out? You're the one replying as if you're correct in your interpretation.

But sure, if that hurt you: you and the single other person who misread the comment are both equally wrong. Better?

You're correct, and that's why sometimes they work really well and sometimes they make the problem much worse and profoundly annoy the plumber you'll eventually call to fix the issue.

A strong base + lipids stuck together in a pipe means a solid block of soap after a while, sometimes too big and clogged to be effectively rinsed with water, meaning you just made the blockage worse.

can't see how the way you wrote that comment all but explicitly states that the LSD usage was a bad thing?

Don't bring your preconceptions to my comment, or at the very least, don't accuse me of subtext with your own delusions as a source.

My comment was mocking Steve Jobs' productivity, as in, what was he actually working in. LSD parties and interfering with HR is not working directly with the engineering and quality of the products. That's the extent of the comment. Your perceptions on LSD are irrelevant to me.

Sure.

In fact, sometimes the people posting content aren't that great too... We could also some AI posts.

And then the quality of the comments has been decreasing a lot, let's make the comments AI too.

I made zero qualitative statements about LSD - I'm not sure where this mix of a rant with defending the drug came from. You can use it without freaking out about any mention of LSD online, I wasn't "misled" about anything and made absolutely zero statements about LSD itself.

But as a biologist, I'd like just to respond to your statement:

the structure of dna was discovered on lsd

No it wasn't, I'm not sure were you got that from, please refrain from making statements about fields you do not have experience with.

That's true, he did more than just marketing and management. According to reports from his employees and C suite, he was also the one organizing the LSD parties and sometimes firing people HR had just signed a contract with.

KDE Plasma 6 + Lightly has been my favorite desktop experience ever. Looks clean, functionality is fantastic.

TikTok is one of the worst offenders, you're scrolling at night and suddenly somebody posts a HDR video shot from their phone and the screen flash bangs you

Well it would be nice to see some discussion around Linux’s drawbacks and what can be done to overcome the barriers to adoption aside from the usual dismissive tone responses that are similar to those found on places like Stackoverflow.

Sure. However, the posts in this community are not that at all, they're childish and wrong at best, and slanderous and inflammatory at worse.

Yep! Okular is amazing, and it's available on Windows too. Install it for someone and they'll never bother you again about PDFs or EPUB documents, it's performant and everything works: printing, resizing, selecting text, searching, signing, adding comments. Never worry about paid PDF software or shady slow apps that keep trying to gatekeep features.

Sempre achei o sci-fi apocalíptico da Banda Eva muito bom:

Meu amor, olha só

Hoje o sol não apareceu

E é o fim da aventura humana na Terra

Meu planeta, adeus

Fugiremos, nós dois, na arca de Noé

Olha bem meu amor

É o final da odisseia terrestre

Sou Adão e você será

Minha pequena Eva (Eva)

O nosso amor na última astronave (Eva)

Além do infinito eu vou voar

Sozinho com você

There's a "Linux Sucks" community on Reddit, it's 40% Linux users memeing and 60% Windows users that tried to install Ubuntu, broke something when messing with external repositories, and immediately went to Reddit to rant about Linux.

I'm assuming this person is trying to recreate this around here, but choosing Lemmy for such a community is bizarre considering the smaller number of total users and the way higher than average proportion of Linux users.

Honestly, there isn't much to it when setting up Linux for elderly people - in fact, I find it less troublesome than setting it up for a teenager.

Most often the issues regular users face with Linux are related to installing packages from external sources or broken updates. Elderly people tend to not do that.

Set up a stable distro like Debian, Linux Mint or Ubuntu LTS with KDE Plasma or Cinnamon, install LibreOffice, Okular and a browser with strong ad blocking, and any other applications you think they might need. Enable a simple firewall, hide the root / folder from the file browser's sidebar, and you're done. Perhaps set up scaling to make everything bigger on their monitors, disable mouse acceleration and set the speed slightly slower than usual.

I wouldn't bother with immutable distros, Flatpaks are nice and all until permissions turn using a simple app a confusing chore with broken interactions.

The Coca-Cola thing is just a widespread myth. Red was already used for Santa and Christmas in general before Coca-Cola's ads.

Ah yes, so we went from "no DRM whatsoeverr!" to "there's DRM but on a DLC I don't care about!"

I see. Sound logic, great argument. Sounds like GOG is amazing then, they're probably doing great with their current business model! No, wait...

Usually the Redditors wear the fedora without knowing how to pair it correctly with the rest of their outfits, so don't worry, if you wear a nice attire and a fedora people won't get you confused with the guy wearing an ahegao t-shirt two sizes too small and cargo shorts.

you value Steam's honesty

Both are multi-millionaire if not billionaire companies. There's no way to attribute virtues like "honesty" to corporate entities.

But GOG is a much worse store than Steam, lacking features Steam had a decade ago and, most importantly, being loudly indifferent to how the games work on platforms other than Windows. Any gaming thread gets flooded by GOG fans talking about how we should support them anyway, because they're great and anti-DRM... Except I'm telling you they aren't, if their own games are at risk of being pirated they add DRM, if somebody wants to publish games protected by DRM on their platform they allow it. That's not anti-DRM.

Steam's DRM is disabled by default, and Valve is aware it's trivially easy to bypass and said multiple times they don't care. That's just as "anti-DRM" as GOG if we go by their actions, rather than their marketing claims.

Don't fall for marketing claims when they themselves are using DRM, it's ridiculous.

anti-DRM policy

What anti-DRM policy? They included DRM into their own game, what kind of policy is that?

"I have a strict, non negotiable anti-beer policy! Except every weekend when I drink a 12 pack! And sometimes in social events! And at night to take the edge off! Sometimes on Wednesdays too!"

Did I ever claim Steam is a "strongly DRM free platform"? Did Steam ever sell itself as the non evil alternative due to a quoted "lack of DRM?"

If you're trying to follow my argument, you're not doing a good job.
