What happened to the goat that was genetically modified to produce spider silk more than a decade ago?

Is not really abandoned, the owner of this community is also the creator of Kbin. He is still working on developing kbin so there's not enough time for moderation

Scientists Invent New Glass With Supreme Toughness (scitechdaily.com) en

Scientists have produced an oxide glass with unprecedented toughness. Under high pressures and temperatures, they succeeded in paracrystallizing an aluminosilicate glass: The resulting crystal-like structures cause the glass to withstand very high stresses and are retained under ambient conditions.

¿Por qué no los dos?

I realized why I enjoy Linux so much and why I've stuck with it all these years (slight vent)... (kbin.social) en

In a world where nothing seems to work anymore, especially anything related to tech and/or customer service, getting on my laptop running Linux Mint just feels like a breath of fresh air. And that goes for just about any distro. It's nice to have something that works as it should and doesn't seem to go out of its way to cause...

I had the opposite experience recently

I was into Linux back then when Valve launched TF2 for Linux (this was in 2013) in the end I broke Linux Mint (I don't know how but it stopped loading) so I said Fuck it and returned to Windows, after all I wanted to play all games, not only TF2

Recently I wanted to return to Linux since gaming is finally a thing and I had to constantly fix stuff...

-First of all If I changed between windows and linux, the motherboard clock was constantly changing. I had to fix it

-KeepassXC (the browser extension) could not connect with KeepassXC for some reason their windows counterparts worked flawlessly

-KDE somehow look uglier and less customizable than the KDE from 10 years ago

-The system tray kinda sucks

-Having the programs to run at system start up does not always works by changing the settings (you have to put a shortcut in a special folder)

-I never managed to make KDE connect to work properly(I connected my phone and Linux, but I never managed to receive the phone notifications on the PC)

-The OS was asking me to restart after every boot almost daily because it got updated (back then Linux asking for a reboot was a rare sight)

-and the cherry on top, one day the software stopped working and I did nothing weird. I could not use KeepassXC, nor steam, nor blender, etc... I asked for help first here and then on the official OS forums and nobody could find a fix other than "delete everything and reinstall the OS". Is something I could do, but is a pain in the ass. I'll have to fix everything that I already fixed again, I'll start receiving security emails because someone logged into my accounts (yeah, me, from linux), I'll have to configure everything again, etc...

I'll like to get rid of windows for ever, but is not easy

I saw similar thing in EndeavourOS

Yeah, is the OS I installed this time. Mint did not did that, at least 10 years ago, but I wanted to try a different distro.

So, is not a trend for all distros? Maybe I'll try a different one next time. I want to stay as close to Arch as possible (but I'm scared of Arch itself) because SteamOS is based on Arch so maybe I'll install Manjaro next

I can't comment on the 'cherry on top' one without more details.

If you want more details

I still have it installed (I'm pissed/frustrated and still have not made the reinstall), I check from time to time if an update fix it, but no luck to this day

Press the cogwheel next to the federation icon (by default is on the right, under your username)

In the options select "Show Top bar"

Top right there is a link to "All"

I'm not super familiar with Endeavour

It's Arch with Calamares installer

run "nvidia-smi" in terminal normally to check if they're working

I got this

Also, are you on a laptop that uses integrated graphics?

No, it's a normal desktop PC

I'm seeing that Endeavour lets you choose which desktop environment you run, try switching to another desktop environment like Gnome or Cinnamon.

It let's you choose which desktop install during the OS installation. If you install multiple desktops enviroments you can choose which one to run with most distros, is not a special feature of EndeavourOS or anything, most distros, if not all, can do it

How forests can cut carbon, restore ecosystems, and create jobs (phys.org) en

Countries should focus in the oceans, because the water absorbs the CO2 and it's leading to ocean acidification making it an hostile envioroment for the sea life. Algae are great (and better) for absorbing CO2 and will reduce the acidification. It's like killing two birds with one stone

why not Kbin? (since you are posting this on a kbin magazine)

Why not merge kbin and lemmy?

why not merge digg and reddit? or gmail and outlook?

Why the fuck would they care about being stewards to knowledge? That's Wikipedia's job, not Reddit.

Wikipedia does not have articles about fixing certain issues or bugs on videogames (or software in general) Reddit does

Someone has an issue, someone write a reply with a possible fix. That's mainly the use of reddit (at least for me). People editing their posts will let other people from the future who may have that specific issue with no solutions

Gordon_Freeman,
@Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social avatar

Unrelated. Kbin and the rest barelly have this kind of content/knowledge that has been accumulating for years

I'm not saying it wont happen in the future, but, deleting or editing you comment history on reddit does more harm that good to us, the users
