This is not just one of those ivory tower papers with their actual applications far away in time and eventually ending up in some obscure industrial process never heard of again in lay circles; this could have an immediate impact on the maker culture and makerspaces right now and in the near future. The preprint describes the process in a very understandable, digestible manner and provides actual implementation examples, as well as detailed recipes for all of the compounds. If you are even remotely interested in the subject matter, I’d recommend you to try it out for yourself. The “ingredients” are all easily obtainable and handleable. Yes, gallium and indium might be a bit expensive, but it is worth it imo. They literally used consumer kitchen equipment for some of the steps, to demonstrate how this is feasible for tinkerers, makerspaces and prototypes. No expensive machinery required (except for an FFF 3d-printer, of course).

Oh this is wonderful! I strongly recommend reading the preprint, really enjoyable: URL

How is EndeavourOS true neutral? It is arch-based and has a “pacman-based rolling release model”.

China could not care one bit less about the genocide in Gaza you stupid tankie, least of all about the Houthis. It is Chinese ships and goods in particular that the operation is protecting. This was just arrogant posturing from China, because they know fully well that the EU will side with Taiwan in the coming war.

You have to enable DRM in Firefox, then it will work. But Disney only allows low resolution streams over browsers.

Had to experience that first hand. I tried to get my best friends to register on my Matrix server last September and join a room for our group, and they did, but I rarely see any of them online and I only get responses days later, if at all. One even stopped using it entirely, lol. Ah well, but at least I got a Matrix server out of that that I can use to federate with other like-minded people.

Properly SLAMMED

It doesn’t get more top-shelf than that.

I can guarantee you that no app on or for your phone can do a fraction of what GIMP is capable of.

Many families in Germany face a precarious future, and your dismissal of the concerns of young people will definitely not make them more reasonable when it comes to the election. There are enormous financial challenges for a lot of Germans, and unlike in the U.S., White people are just as much affected as all the others.

He didn’t even try (in the beginning). Money and early treatment would absolutely have saved his life.

the Apple mastermind eventually came to regret the decision he had made years earlier to reject potentially life-saving surgery in favor of alternative treatments like acupuncture, dietary supplements and juices

Wrong. You just need to know what you’re doing and must not be impatient. Just spend 5 damn minutes reading before you do the thing. We don’t always need unnecessary abstractions upon abstractions upon abstractions.

Funny way to misspell vim

Hijab is a symbol of the oppression of women in the Arab world. It is good that they are outlawed for the Olympics

Not a weirdo. It is the only reasonable thing to do. Unfortunately, many people lack education about the true extent of mass surveillance / profiling and the potential massive repercussions that it can have for society à la Nineteen Eighty-Four.
