jasondj, to lemmyshitpost in Yeah, but...

I honesty think “screen-time” is overblown. Screens are tools and while creative old-fashioned play is very important, screens play an important role, too.

I’ve got two kids, 4 and 7. I differentiate between games (as long as they are age-appropriate or maybe a little older for them), “good-tv” (age appropriate educational shows or shows with “lessons” I.e Curious George, Daniel Tiger, Odd Squad, etc), “great-tv” (purely educational shows like Nova or How It’s Made…my oldest loves both), and “junk food tv” (SpongeBob, Gumball, etc).

They all have their place and none are “bad” as long as moderation is applied and content is age-appropriate.

This really should be on change.org.

Gameboy Pocket. Gameboy Camera. Gameboy Printer.

Both the perfect balance of “nostalgia” and “ridiculous”.

Weird that we never consider that for retail workers though…

Well, you do. You just don’t know it or like it.

The real ironic thing is, the doctors that are publishing papers saying screentime is bad are the same people who plopped us in front of Nintendo and Nickelodeon because stranger danger (and that, even more ironically, because of prime time news magazines like Dateline and 20/20 and Current Affair)).

Shocker, stranger danger kids are using the TV more in raising their kids.

jasondj, to linuxmemes in Wayland vs X11 be like

My mistake, then. I haven’t really used Ubuntu much since focal. I was going off the package list in distrowatch.

jasondj, to linuxmemes in Wayland vs X11 be like

Possible I’m wrong? I was going against the Distrowatch details since I was just looking at them a couple hours before I replied: distrowatch.com/table-mobile.php?distribution=ubu…

I don’t usually “trust” vendor support for Linux though…Linux is usually a second-class citizen and “support” means there is either a single grey-beard or an intern that’s answering emails about it. Idk about StudioOne, but unfortunately it’s usually expected to not have feature parity or complete documentation for commercial software on Linux. IME, YMMV, etc.

Ubuntu LTS and 23.x are both Xorg. Latest has Wayland. If 24.04 is to be LTS though, I don’t think they’d release it with Wayland as default. I’d think they’d switch to Wayland on 24.10 so there’s 3 more releases to get good before the next LTS build.

The mean surface temperature of Venus is only 464C.

But, with 93x the atmospheric pressure of earth, water boils at around 300C.

So…what is it that makes it difficult to thrive beyond 100C? Is it strictly the temperature, or is it the properties of water at that temperature? If it’s the latter, I wouldn’t be so surprised.

Also keep in mind that photosynthesis was a genetic accident that just happened to work really, really well, and the ability to process sunlight directly into energy was what allowed microorganisms to move away from thermal vents.

That same genetic accident could play out in a different world. Or a different genetic accident that’s more suited to their environment. Or no genetic accident at all, and life never moves past small, very secluded regions.

jasondj, to memes in Because customers don't need to easily filter away some stuff from their searches

eBay really has one of the best search engines around, IMO.

Once you know how to use parenthesis, quotes, and minus, you can build very precise queries.

Never saw this guy before but I like his style. Subscribed.

jasondj, to science_memes in Hummingbird feet

Did you get into a debate about wether jackdaws were crows, then put on Groucho glasses and defend your own point?

4th grade seems to be about the right maturity level to become a huge ICP fan, so it checks out.

Would’ve been better if you hinted that the mother was German too. Like, have him refer to her as “Oma” or something.

Like, idk about where, but in American English, if you’ve got a 1st-gen grandparent, a lot of English-only kids refer to them by the terms in their grandparents language. Especially Greeks, Germans, and Latin-Americans.
