That is true, but part of improving our environmental impact will be decreasing that transport of raw materials, localizing chemical industries near the sources of their raw materials.

Sure the threat model is different, I’m just saying it’s still a single point of failure.

Oh interesting. My mistake!

Neat, wasn’t familiar with cover your tracks, super useful!

I mean yes, but currently they’re all dependent on Windows, so its less of centralizing OSes, and more changing what its centralized on.

I’ve never had an issue with Flatseal in mint. Out of curiosity, what was your issue?

Oh I understood wikifunctions primarily as a way to operate on wikidata data, I don’t know if that’s right. And you’re right it is publically available, I guess I meant more that few few folks know about it.

Yep! The LD50 is 12.5% in air (higher than I thought, honestly) and yes the issue is that it binds preferentially to hemoglobin.

The main treatment for sub-lethal exposure is just supplying pure oxygen to kick the equilibrium the other way and slowly remove the CO from your system. It won’t all come off, but your body recycles red blood cells pretty quickly, so you’re back on your feet within a few hours and back to normal within a few days. However, there’s no treatment for lethal doses, people have proposed using things like cobalt porphyrins (which bind CO even better than iron hemes) to more quickly sequester the CO from your hemoglobin, but that’s not been trialled yet in humans.

I wasnt aware of its use as a neurotransmitter (but I’m absolutely going to look into it now), but its barely soluble in water so there must be more going on there. just like urea, it’s a natural waste product, and typically one your body wants to get rid of reasonably quickly.

Edit: from a chemical perspective, NO and CO “look” electronically similar to a NO-binding protein, so I expect most of these effects of CO are actually just it activating pathways natively activated by NO.

If it’s a laptop the wireless chipset would be part of the SOC, so I would assume that AMD does some variant of a chipset for that.

Wikidata is so cool, but not really public-exposed. I imagine it’s an incredible research tool though.

Yikes that’s almost as bad.

Oh interesting! I was reading something recently that said MS had clarified that it was for businesses only, but that must have been an old article.

When you’re supposed to choose between siding with the Mages and Templar, it tells you to go back to the war room, which I assume should activate some kind of cutscene…but nothing happens. You just get to choose more missions on the map. I can’t tell how far back it bugged out, even if I go back to before starting that questline, I get the same issue.

From the steam forums, it seems like this has been a known bug since at least the original steam release :/

Seconded. Newsflash does everything I need and looks pretty smooth.

Some toasters can’t.

Well, the size estimate on flathub assumes that you’re installing every dependency, which only happens if it’s the first app you’re installing with this FreeDesktop version, which is rare. I have like 15 flatpak apps installed, all of which had a claimed install of over “1 GB”, but the flatpak install directory is only like 2 or 3 GB.

There’s just not a great way to predict how big an install will actually be from flathub.

Edit: just to give you an idea, since its only downloading the deltas, most of these “1 GB download size” Flatpak apps are downloading less than 100 MB

I was playing through Inquisition for the first time earlier this year, and 30h in the main questline broke, and I cant proceed…a real bummer.

It says possibly snap, so we can hope…

This isnt available to individuals anyhow, only to schools and businesses.

You can do that but it gets messy fast and it’s almost impossible to uninstall a DE effectively.
