Coal mining kills more people per year than nuclear does. Pollution kills more people by several magnitudes than nuclear ever could. When proper safety measures are put in place it's by far the safest form of energy. And regardless of whether people make nuclear power plants, the technology exists, so it will be used to make bombs regardless

Nuclear is probably the safest form of power when proper protocols are put in place but it's hard to do that when the largest country in Europe (Russia, both by size and population) is currently in a war

How so? I usually find their content pretty interesting

I had a steam dependency on my system break or get uninstalled somehow. It was giving me headaches for a bit because steam wasn't launching and had a pretty vague error when launched from CLI. I imagine using a flatpak version would circumvent a lot of those problems because of the sandboxing

But most of the comments on this post really aren't elitist. Most desktop tools are made by volunteers (with the exception of SUSE, Canonical, Red Hat, etc. who mostly deal with running on servers) and those volunteers only have so much time to work on projects. If they don't have time/knowledge to build GUIs when the terminal is "good enough" for their use cases, why should they?

If someone else needs the GUI, they can develop a frontend separately (which also gives people the choice of being able to cut down on software they don't need if they only use the terminal interface)

Personally, my take on this is that Linux isn't mainstream for a reason. Windows/macOS still exist and (privacy concerns aside) function well. It would be amazing if Linux could become more beginner friendly, but let's not try to act like desktop Linux developers who are already giving up their time owe it to us to do even more.

We've been doing something similar (assuming you meant 3 oz and not 30) with 2 meals a day 12 hours apart. Right now I think we're using a bit more dry food, since our cats (we have 2 others as well) have only eaten dry food for their entire lives and we're still trying to transition them to mostly wet food

My family's cat just got diagnosed about a month ago :( He's doing well so far with his insulin shots but it likely went unnoticed for a week or two because he's a pretty reserved cat and normally hides from us. He's been having trouble walking/jumping recently which is probably related, hopefully the insulin along with a changed diet (we're mostly feeding him wet food now) will help him improve

Now I know what my next steam game is going to be, thanks for that

Gentoo Linux. Into the deep end!

(Starting off with something like mint or pop!os is probably your best bet, EndeavourOS is a good choice too but it's a little bit more effort for a first distro)

Is it ranger? I'm between that and maybe XD/Colosseum with the power ranger description but it's been a while since I played either so I don't remember the villains well
