Davis states that the original source of the tale was Olayuk Narqitarvik. It was allegedly Olayuk’s grandfather in the 1950s who refused to go to the settlements and thus fashioned a knife from his own feces to facilitate his escape by skinning and disarticulating a dog. Davis has admitted that the story could be “apocryphal”, and that initially he thought the Inuit who told him this story was “pulling his leg”.

That’s a long payoff for a practical joke, but totally worth it.

Also, unsurprisingly, they won the 2020 Ig Nobel Prize in Materials Science (lol) for this one (video of the ceremony, Ig Nobel “lecture” from the lead author (also the primary pooper))

thingsiplay , to linux in Tiling Distro Suggestions

You can easily install and configure a tiling window manager on any distro, so you should not switch an entire distribution and your base because of that. Unless off course you want to, but its not difficult. If you install a tiling window manager from your repository, then read the documentation how to set it up correctly and log out your current user session. Then in the login screen, you should be able to select what window manager or desktop environment you want to use.

But be careful, lot of window managers are still not supported in Wayland and the other way, some of the new window managers are Wayland only. The usual suspects would be probably Sway or Hyprland on Wayland? There is also Qtile, but that is for people who want to configure and write Python source code, as the configuration is in Python language (BTW my favorite tiling window manager, but not for everyone). EndeavourOS used to have a Qtile spin, but they stopped that not long ago.

But if you really must switch the distribution, then there might be a few preconfigured tiling window manager distributions:

Can someone please validate my decision to pay $23 a year for this dumb corndog.social domain just so I had something fun for my Lemmy instance.

Telorand , to linux in Tiling Distro Suggestions

The word you’re looking for is Desktop Environment (DE). KDE Plasma is one such DE. Distro is the underlying system.

  • i3 has been around forever and has lots of guides on how to customize it. Only downside is it’s X11-only, so as everyone moves to Wayland, X11 support will decrease.
  • Sway is i3+Wayland, though it’s newer, so I dunno how much customization content is out there or whether the i3 tutorials are forward compatible.
  • Hyprland is another popular choice, and it is Wayland-based. Only downside is the project lead is a toxic asshole, despite being a gifted dev.
  • Cosmic is an upcoming DE, so if you’re in no hurry, keep an eye on that one.

To install any of them, search for the project and see if they have an installation guide for your distro. If not look up “how to install <DE> in Fedora.”

Cosmic is already more usable than most Window managers, that literally just manage Windows.

I mean, it has apps… and GUI settings…

There is a guy called Ryan Brue that packages all the COSMIC apps. He created a SIG and in the channel there are some COSMIC Devs helping out.

There is a uBlue variant with COSMIC, working pretty great.

COSMIC just breaks KDE Apps a bit. Will have to see if some package may fix them, as they are so themable that missing packages make them use aome shitty fallback theme.

Telorand ,

I know Cosmic is there, but it’s not even in beta. I can’t yet recommend it in good conscience, especially for OP, who is new enough not to know the difference between a distro and a DE.

(And if you’re reading this, OP, that’s nothing to be ashamed of.)

ohellidk , to asklemmy in Do you think Trump and Vance wake up in the morning and say damn I am a really messed up human being? Or are they saying I can't believe people are buying the shit we peddle?

They most likely wake up thinking that they’re doing the world a favor. I truly think they’re incapable of having any morality or respect for anyone. That being said, I’m sure they sleep fine at night too.

Serinus , to science_memes in Butts

It’s actually really valuable. It can be a great alternative to a tracheotomy.

I don’t know if this is in practice yet, but I’ve heard of it in recent years.

Creddit , to asklemmy in Do you think Trump and Vance wake up in the morning and say damn I am a really messed up human being? Or are they saying I can't believe people are buying the shit we peddle?

I think they probably wake up thinking exclusively about how to increase their net worth, through politics and marketing, at the expense of low information voters.

Vance, sure, but Trump? He obviously doesn’t think about that kind of shit or is too fuck-stupid to make good decisions because he would be more wealthy than he is now if he hadn’t had a real estate career and just put that money from his family in the market with a professional pulling the strings. He is literally currently shitting the bed with obscenely racist conspiracy shit that is a major turn off to middle of the road voters because he wants to bang the woman whispering them in his ear.

If there’s one thing racists don’t want, it’s to be able to be called a racist and have that be true. This is a step too far for even some racists. Because now they can’t hide behind the dogwhistles and they don’t want people in their community calling them racists.

Trump’s ego was and is too big to be able to not take the bait that Harris laid down for him. That’s fucking stupid and not indicative of having any kind of fucking plan (or even the concept of one).

That’s how fuckstupid Trump is and that’s why I think this is giving him way too much credit.

Ootl who’s whispering shit in dons ear?

I don't truly in my heart of hearts believe that selling your soul to the devil is possible. The logical Christianity in me says that anyone who would offer to sell their souls is already likely going to hell and so the devil has no need to purchase, and that is further tempered by the idea that All souls are the property of God and you can't sell something you don't own.

That being said, if I had to pick one person on this planet who I had to testify before a grand jury that I believed they had sold their souls to the devil I would pick Donald J Trump.

The man has no skills. He didn't even write his book The art of the deal. He was born into wealth but many people are born into wealth and fall into poverty and yet somehow despite an entire lifetime of financial ineptitude he is still wealthy.

He has done so much shady shit that any person who did not have the protection of a dark force would be in prison right now for and he is currently under indictment for several Grand felonies and he still running for president and still has a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

He has 35% of American voters believing in him. Nearly 100 million people willing to throw their once every 4 years chance for deciding the fate of America to him.

His wife is a model and even though he's cheated on her credibly with a pornstar, Stormy Daniels, and had a lawyer pay her off with election funds, she has not divorced him.

If Donald J Trump is not the servant of Satan, signed and bound in an eternal contract, then the fact that he exists is a scathing indictment of the flaws of modern capitalism and why the whole system should be burnt to the ground.

bizarroland ,

I'm going to keep saying this until it sticks. The most profitable and valuable thing that human beings have ever discovered or created is information disparity.

Everyone basically knows the phrase that knowledge is power, but very few people know how to capitalize on that power.

The way that you capitalize on the power of knowledge is through information disparity.

Say for instance, you are at a flea market. You see a very good quality copy of action comics number one with Superman on the cover. You ask the seller how much they want for it and they say oh those are my sons old comics, I'll sell you the whole box for $5.

Anyone who knows anything about valuable stuff knows that action comics number one is worth it the minimum a million dollars in decent condition.

Now you know that for $5 you can get a million dollars. That is how knowledge is power. That is how information disparity works.

Find ways that you can use information disparity in your favor (without bilking kindly old ladies out of million dollar antiques preferably) and you too will find yourself far more successful than your actual skills and abilities would otherwise qualify you for.

So if I run your cat over in the street, you would have no problem with it? Because you sure seem okay with letting your captive predator out to do the same to your entire neighborhood.
