@shibaprasad Vivaldi, and Epiphany are all I’ve used for a while.
Thing about Vivaldi:
- theme-color support is cool.
- Don’t try and Ctrl-F Find while you have dev tools open, eventually at some point in the future your machine will freeze.
- it’s not well supported in Linux, but the profile switcher is super cool. You can set up a profile for connecting to multiple Accounts of the same service.
Things about epiphany:
- beautiful gnome ui.
- Don’t try to open dev tools
#savage dog attacks crocodile and wins. In other news It’s 43 degrees Celsius outside. How cool is that?

I'm having some second thoughts about plywood. And that's a sentence I never though I'd use
In theory, plywood is a fantastic building material, but I have no idea what the long-term effects are of the adhesives they use to bond the sheets together. Same goes for OSB (oriented strand board)
Come to think of it, I don't know what any of the chemicals used in routine construction today will do to my health in the years to come

Out of curiosity, I searched on youtube "theory of evolution". Out of the first 20 results, 4 were about trying to prove that evolution is a myth, and it never happened.
Then I tried in Italian, "Teoria dell'evoluzione". 9 results of the first 20 were about "debunking" the theory of evolution.
I'm not sure this is related to my personal feed, but I found it interesting. It's almost half of the results in Italian!
@artisticphilosopher that is an interesting point of view. I'm lost when you transition into the evolution of the individual though, which is probably just philosophical and not relating to a true evolutionary pathway for a species. I can amputate my legs, attach wheels, and say this is individual evolution, but unless I can add the gene for wheels to myself and a suitable mate and then become isolated somewhere where I can procreate prolifically, its not evolution, my mods are not going to take hold.
I'm much less philosophical than you, but I think your “new evolution” does fit within the framework of modern selection pressure.
We tend to find any conscious selection pressure “culturally unacceptable” and akin to eugenics, which I think is fairly understandable but the worst outcome. The fear of eugenics is also it's own selection pressure, and I think a very frightening one. The selection caused by the fear of eugenics is probably causing a harmful inverse affect on humanity.
As long as there is life it will fill a niche, with or without us.

if after a long day helping a friend move house, they hand you a fiver, you could end up feeling undervalued and less likely to help again. A hug and kind words however might spark a warm glow and make you feel appreciated

I stopped by this old school Dutch candy store with all the candy in little jars. You know this place iasgoing to be lit because they dont even have a cash register. She must have been born prior to the 1900s cause she is literally right ninging me up on a chalk board. This is like a step away from ancient Greek wax tablets.

Most of the recent news and opinions on social media seemed to be the epitome of dystopia which I never thought I would be living oneday. It sickens me.

"Is Google Making Us Stupid?
What the Internet is doing to our brains"
An important read. Take your time, turn off distractions - and work thru it. Worth it! RG
"I can feel it, too. Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn’t going—so far as I can tell—but it’s changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading. Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument, and I’d spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose. That’s rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin looking for something else to do. I feel as if I’m always dragging my wayward brain back to the text. The deep reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle."

@namark no I’m not offended. Are we having a moment?
Revolution is not peaceful. Curbing free speech on the basis of national security while denying scientific evidence is oppressive. Australian policy makers have a clear agenda to undermine any form of organized dissent under the guise of national security and that’s a calamity worthy of revolt, dissent and violence. This country passed laws making it illegal for software vendors not to break encryption if requested.
@_lunawinters if you read aloud and touch type at the same time it may reduce your inner monologue. I do this while studying, basically just type out the entire text while I read it. there is nothing worse.

@namark so I said “I do believe” when I should have said “in my opinion”, which appeared in your federated timeline, and it’s upset you. Is that correct? I’m genuinely sorry if I offended you, hopefully I can choose better words in the future, ok.
@PunaisetPimpulat thank you for sharing it’s nice to see some results coming through. I look forward to reading more of these user blog posts, they mean so much more than PR department hype.
