IWantToFuckSpez, in I have never understood that.

It’s called brown adipose tissue aka brown fat. Old people are always cold because they often lack brown fat.

herrvogel,

Don’t non-baby humans lack brown fat in general?

angrystego,

Not really. Babies have brown fat as default. Adults have white fat which can turn brown in response to cold exposure (not as much as in babies, so it’s also called beige fat). Brown of beige though, it works the same - there’s a high count of mitochondria in the cells and the tissue can produce heat and make you feel (and be) warmer. It also helps with weight loss, stimulates the immune system and lowers inflammation.

That’s why I’m storing up on brown fat in my youth.

NutWrench, in My parents were watching the History Channel and needed to inform me of this amazing theory
@NutWrench@lemmy.ml avatar

“How did they move such massive blocks of stone?”

“They had whips. They had massive, massive whips.”

hungryphrog,

Akcshually:
In addition to the many unresolved arguments about the construction techniques, there have been disagreements as to the kind of workforce used. The Greeks, many years after the event, believed that the pyramids were built by slave labour. Archaeologists now believe that the Great Pyramid of Giza (at least) was built by tens of thousands of skilled workers who camped near the pyramids and worked for a salary or as a form of tax payment (levy) until the construction was completed, pointing to workers’ cemeteries discovered in 1990. For the Middle Kingdom pyramid of Amenemhat II, there is evidence from the annal stone of the king that foreigners from Canaan were employed.

DragonTypeWyvern,

People always say they weren’t slaves, and point to a “levy” system, but rarely seem to ask themselves if being conscripted to perform forced labor for the aristocracy is slavery.

I think you can use the web version

I think the “desktop app” is also just the web version. So yeah.

tubaruco,

i think its kinda like discord, where the desktop app is just the web app, except it has more stuff for no reason(“no reason” meaning they can collect more info about ur pc)

Webcord > Discord

wallmenis,

I mean, just go from browser. Don’t use the app.

caseyweederman,

A lot of apps are doing that these days. I don’t really like it.

interdimensionalmeme,

They don’t want you to have as much control as a browser, a browser that sandboxes your private data and limit how much they can annoy you

caseyweederman,

Also they only have to develop one version and don’t need to worry about hardware and OS differences. But then the app version is never specialised, or else the browser version gets bloated up with a bunch of unnecessary features.

Perroboc,

Windows version is native now, I think

    seriously best thing ever. even allows iMessage on Android. combines pretty much everything you just said into one app on all platforms.

    ultra,

    +1 for beeper.

    Anomalous_Llama,

    iMessage on android as in android users would have blue bubbles on someone’s iPhone?

    If that’s the case then it’s relaying the messages through an iMac or Mac mini somewhere which would require signing into an Apple ID so some third party would have access to all of your chats 💀💀💀

    Basically what nothing phone is doing now

    seliaste,
    @seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    Can someone explain to me whats the deal with blue bubbles? I live in a country where Apple has 10% market share on mobile phones so I never heard about them

    fluckx,

    If I can make an estimated guess, and this might very well be completely wrong, I’m guessing if iphone devices text each other the chats appear in blue bubbles implying it’s end to end encrypted and secure. If they use imessage to contact a non apple user it will probably be in green and not be E2EE ( regular text message ).

    Kusimulkku,

    Why would I want iMessage on Android?

    hungryphrog, in My parents were watching the History Channel and needed to inform me of this amazing theory

    Don’t you find it funny that no one ever claims that buildings built by white peolle were built by aliens?

    KrankyKong,

    Maybe it’s that there’s not many examples of architecture built by white people that seem humanly impossible.

    I’ve heard theories that stone henge was supernatural. (Like the other guy said)

    afraid_of_zombies,

    Not a theory. Random bullshit sold to the gullible is not a theory

    LifeInOregon,

    I’ve heard the claim made about Stonehenge.

    257m,

    Those weren’t really white people. They were the Megolith builders that came before the farmers.

    DragonTypeWyvern, (edited )

    Ah a “the Fae did it” enjoyer.

    No, Cheddar Man and his people predated the megaliths by 3,000 years. The builders of Stonehenge have a pretty solid remains and DNA profile and we know that they migrated from Anatolia. Also almost certainly intermarried with the descendants of Cheddar Man and Company, but they were literally Caucasian.

    Of course the megaliths werent just Stonehenge, and there probably was a period where you could find two distinct ethnic groups both enjoying raising huge rocks into neat patterns.

    afraid_of_zombies,

    That doesn’t sound correct

    thedaylights,

    Stonehenge was built by Druids. Pretty sure they qualify.

    DragonTypeWyvern,

    Stonehenge predates the Celtic civilization and religion by over two thousand years.

    Their ancestors, sure.

    Im curious what non ethical monogamy looks like.

    You both know the other one cheated on you so you cheat on them to get back at them and then they cheat on you in revenge.

  • 3ntranced,

    Ethically speaking apparently.

    lolcatnip,

    I had a mother in law who stayed with her abusive husband because he threatened to kill her and their children if she tried to leave. Seems pretty unethical to me.

    A less extreme example would be one partner badgering or manipulating the other into being monogamous when they don’t want to be.

    turbowafflz,

    Me too, maybe like an abusive relationship?

    30p87, in Useless messenger

    To be fair, Signal, Threema and Discord use Electron, and therefore are just crappy bullshit on Wayland.
    Using a dedicated FF instance uses less RAM, CPU and disk space, and gives you more control over the application/website.

    Discord has a web version, even if it doesn’t support some features, so I use it in FF. WhatsApp has a web version, so I use it in FF.
    Signal does not. So it’s barely usable on my Nvidia desktop.
    We do not need ““native”” Applications, made with a mix of a web version and a D tier browser engine, if we could just use the already installed, better and perfectly working browser.

    • Discords Electron was outdated and vulnerable for years, FF would be patched in days or hours in case of a zero day.
    • Electron uses much more resources than FF. Because every company thinks they need a custom version of electron, every app brings its own bloaty electron environment, despite there being a system one.
    • Electron/Chromium is extremely buggy on Wayland + Nvidia, to the point I cannot use Spotify, Discord or Steam correctly.
    toastal,

    using a dedicated FF [sic] instance

    If you don’t like having multiple windows open, you can keep them in dedicated container tabs on you main Fx (or favored Fx fork). I have a couple pinned like this in Librewolf now.

    far_university1990,

    Can we have electron, but based on gecko and unable to ship its own gecko?

    Check tauri out. It’s not exactly that but it uses built in web renderer in os

    RmDebArc_5,
    @RmDebArc_5@lemmy.ml avatar

    It’s more about WhatsApp ignoring Linux as a app platform (and the web app doesn’t have calls or screen share like the windows client)

    black0ut,
    @black0ut@pawb.social avatar

    Discord on Xorg is a mess too. It’s not even the electron part, the app itself is really bad.

    Not only it’s inefficient, but (at least in Arch) it doesn’t auto update on big versions. And instead of just warning you, it refuses to start until you manually install the new update. And god forbid if the package mantainers need a day or two to update the package, because until then you can’t use it.

    The funniest thing is, there’s a file in the app’s directory called “build_info.json” which contains the version number, and with a simple edit you can make it think it’s updated, and it suddenly works without problem.

    I really don’t know what they’re updating, but I have a version from 2021 running on my phone (it’s old and the new app is really slow), and it still works fine. Even after the account handle change and several other additions to the app.

    Oh, and for the Arch users: there’s a discord version on the AUR called “discord-canary-electron-bin” that uses system wide electron, so it should be updated faster than discord’s own bundled electron. I don’t know if there’s a non canary version of it, tho.

    interdimensionalmeme,

    They want you having less control, that’s the whole point
