If it’s entirely pointless.. then why is there a bot to stop it?
It’s entirely pointless to stop something that is entirely pointless.

It’s not a controversial decision… it’s a dumb as fuck decision not based in medicine or science.

Four US daycare workers charged with spiking children’s food with melatonin
7% of emergency department visits were for kids that took melatonin?
What kind of bull is this?

At least the pattern part seems true.

ONLYOFFICE 7.5 Released with New PDF Editor + More

AFAIK Libreoffice only uses Java for limited things and isn’t a requirement.
Pretty sure it’s mostly C++

Why is knowledge of programming alone not enough?
People need programmers to make boring things. Often boring things make more money than programming stuff for science.
We need both. Programming is a tool.

why is it like this?
Everything should be date-based name releases.
If it’s released April, 2023 it should be 23.04 or similar.
Other schemes are arbitrary.
Change my mind.

Which proprietary software do you prefer over their open-source alternatives, and why?
Reply in thread
Disagree. Libreoffice is pretty capable for most use cases nowadays.
Compatibility is also pretty good with Microsoft formats despite Microsoft‘s best efforts.
OpenOffice is dead.

Audiologist here.
We treat it like a medical emergency. Reason being if it is a sudden sensorineural loss then they would start you on Prednisone asap. It may help to preserve your hearing.
We think it needs started within a few weeks (at the very most) but earlier is probably better.
That being said, it might not be a sudden sensorineural loss. A hearing test would tell you.
In my experience having seen many actual sudden sensorineural losses over the years, the treatment doesn’t necessarily help in many cases. It’s a last ditch effort really to preserve what we can. Personally, I would probably just wait for morning, but I would tell a patient to go immediately.

The Best Password Managers in 2024
I use Bitwarden for passwords. Just works so well.
KeepassXC and KeePassium for TOTP codes. I keep the database in the cloud but sync a key with Syncthing that’s needed to unlock the database on the devices themselves.

Anyone else starting to favor Flatpak over native packages?
Reply in thread
I have a ton of flatpaks which means packages are shared between them, so no it’s not lazy or a copy of the whole system. It makes a ton of sense for stability.
Updates are diff’s so downloading and updating is fast. Not entire packages.
Making every package work with only a certain version of a dependency and hoping it is stable doesn’t make a lot of sense.
