It's a little disorienting that the sun sets past 9 in Germany, where I live it's usually around 5! I think it's because Germany is a lot closer to the poles while I live nearer to the equator, and since the Earth is tilted to an axis, the days in Germany are longer during the summer. Still so strange for the Sun to set at 8pm though.

Note that in Chinese, the first character is the family name while the next ones are the given name. So "Youyou" would be the given name!

Naming customs in various places are very fun to learn. Did you know that in Iceland, the last name is the father's first name appended with "son" (male), "dottir" (female), or "bur" (non-binary)?

In Chinese, the first character (Tu) is the family name while the following character(s) are the given name (Youyou).

p.s. the "ou" sound in Chinese is pronounced more like an "o" rather than than an "ooh", so the joke doesn't really work (not quite, but it's close enough. I'm not very good at speaking Mandarin so take this with a slight grain of salt)

Just updated, it runs pretty good on my OnePlus 6! Looks like camera drivers have improved a bit, there seems to be better auto-exposure and the UI is slightly nicer too. The new boot animation is also very nice, as is the new Alpen default wallpaper!

No experience with KZ iems in particular, but you might want to try the Moondrop Chu 2 (very good for the price, metal shell, but the brass nozzle will oxidise and get clogged with green bits).

For a higher budget, you might also want to check out the Truthear Hexa or Pure, and if you like the Moondrop sound, the Aria 2 is also a good option.

For me, the Linux community at the programming(dot)dev instance is very helpful!

Always check the relevant wikis. Yes, some of them aren't very well-written, but most are very good. Look at the wikis for your distro, the software you want to use, etc. Even if you don't use Arch, the ArchWiki is a very good source with steps that can apply for most distros!

You might also want to check out the channel "LearnLinuxTV", they make fantastic tutorials for setting up various distros and self-hosted services.

I will also recommend installing "tldr", which is basically manpages for dummies, showing you the essential commands and their parameters. "Tealdeer" is a Rust-based client for tldr that is available on Arch (unsure about other distro families)

I want to throw some spaghetti in. Spaghetti gets sphagettified

And of course, many forums are good too, but note that many of the bits could be outdated (always check the date of the posts and the version number!)

Others have stated Ecosia/Qwant building a European search index, but you also have Mwmbl with their own index that I believe is not American.

Additionally, you could also look at the various SearXNG instances hosted in Europe (or self-host your own!). They are meta search engines, meaning you can configure what sources and indexes they use for results and the ones you select are used together.

Quarrtarrmastarr? Or is that too much?

I personally just use local music playback, with SyncThing for syncing between devices. That mean I can listen to them offline!

On Android, I use Auxio, but Lotus and Chocola (previously CuteMusic) are awesome too.

On Linux, I use an mpd-based option called rmpc. Tauon and Gapless are also great! As for mobile Linux, Gapless is a good option that works pretty well. You might also like Plattenalbum, a GTK-based MPD client.

Simon Tanthem's Puzzles is also really good, there are so many good puzzles.

My top 3 for those puzzles would probably be Bridges (connect islands with bridges, each island requires a certain number of bridges), Signpost (find a path following all the arrows), and Inertia (move a ball to collect gems and avoid mines, it moves a bit like an air hockey puck with little friction).

Note that some of the instructions that involve white / black symbols need to be reversed if you use dark mode, it made it a little confusing for me in certain puzzles. If you are a light mode creature, this issue does not apply to you.

Honourable mention to Untangle (self-explanatory) and Dominosa (find all the unique "dominoes", pairs of numbers like 1 3, 5 6, etc., in a grid without any repeats). The latter is very difficult, even in the default "easy" mode.

I might try it soon, and I'll let you know any feedback I have once I get back home!

Neat! This seems like a pretty cool project!

There is, afaik, no explanation why there is more matter than anti matter, so maybe we just don't see it

Like, dark side of the universe or something ;⁠-⁠)

This is the baryon asymmetry problem, and indeed, one of the proposed solutions is an "anti-universe" that flows backwards in time. The theory goes that all the antimatter travelled backwards in time while matter travelled forward from the Big Bang, creating a mirror anti-universe. However, there has been experimental evidence against this theory, as antiparticles seem to move forward in time, just like their matter counterparts.

There are a bunch more theories on how matter dominated the universe, like electroweak baryogenesis and leptopgenesis! Those are a bit more complicated though and are difficult to explain in an internet comment.

I want some of what you're smoking.

Is the pun intended?

see: Smoked seafood, smoked salmon

Yeah, CP violation is a big focus when it comes to the research of baryogenesis, the theoretical process that produced the baryon asymmetry! Her experiment established that parity symmetry (P) can be broken through weak interactions, and later experiments showed that the combined CP symmetry (charge conjugation + parity) can also be broken, again through weak force shenanigans.

CP violation is one of the three Sakharov conditions (which were proposed by and named after Soviet physicist Andrei Sakharov) of dynamic baryogenesis, as it would mean that matter and antimatter can behave differently in certain processes. If they behaved identically, no asymmetry would be produced and they would both annihilate. However, there was one extra baryon for every million antibaryons (we know this through measurements of the CMB and the quantities of light elements produced in Big Bang nucleosynthesis), and this slight difference allowed matter to dominate the universe.

Fair enough!

I trust they'd only show things aligned with their brand and not shill Nestle coffee.

Is the Fifa World Cup really that relevant and aligned with Mozilla and Firefox?

To compare the world cup to McDonald as or nestle coffee is crazy. The world cup is the largest sports event in the world and is followed all across the globe, its expected to have 5-6billion people following it in some way and 1.5 billion watching

Both McDonalds and Nestle are huge megacorps with extensive influence globally.

What if Samsung, Xiaomi, or Apple was promoted in Firefox? They all have very significant market share in smartphones globally, and Apple trades places with Nvidia for the title of most valuable company in the world, but I'm sure most people wouldn't want ads for them.

Or maybe if Toyota or Volkswagen did a promotion: they have both sold billions of cars worldwide under many different brands, so I believe they are a closer comparison with the World Cup in terms of just numbers. But even still, most people aren't car nerds, and will dislike the promotion of either company's latest model.

Or maybe if Saudi Aramco was promoted instead, the largest oil company in the world producing millions of barrels per day, and being very significant for the energy needs of most countries. Nearly everyone would be unhappy for this kind of promotion.

But what if you believe that companies don't count, because "Mozilla is too perfect to suck up to them", here are some more examples that are specifically events, like the World Cup:

• Taylor Swift concerts (or another similarly huge music artist)
• Disney movie showings (or another large media company, like Warner Brothers)
• Eurovision (very huge in many European countries)
• Olympics (or some other large sporting event)
• etc.

I'm sure you wouldn't like many of those, even if they do have similarly large audiences as the Fifa world cup.

The world cup is followed by a significant % of the world so an un-intrusive option asking users if they want to opt in is more useful than it is annoying.

But most people aren't so invested that they want the browser widgets. It would be better if it was an extension that you could install, rather than something baked into the browser (that would be properly opt-in).

It would be beneficial to everyone if it was a separate extension. It would mean less preinstalled bits while probably also giving the people who want the features more of it (since it doesn't have the restriction of being preinstalled into the browser).
