- Comment on A Linux Version of Windows 11 40 minutes ago:
Not sure why windows 11 over 10. Playonlinux did it pretty decently but apparently could not keep up with wine developments and is effectively dead. Steam has this thing where you can install something as a stand alone and choose proton versions. Im honestly not sure how well it would work but it would be realtively easy but not double click any exe easy.

I was gonna say. Do they need to be working on alphafold or is it basically done and churning now?
- Comment on What games did you sleep on for too long? 18 hours ago:
I don’t really have fomo with games. Im fine playing them later as long as I enjoy them. I only have so much game playing time so im rarely playing something I don’t enjoy.
- Comment on Can someone explain, calories, carbs, glucose, and gluten? 1 day ago:
I was not correcting or anything just adding tidbits I find interesting. Your right carbs go along a spectrum with insoluble acting like a brush that pushes your digestion along and soluble being good at absorbing things and taking it along with it and complex carbs that just don’t digest as easily.
- Comment on Can someone explain, calories, carbs, glucose, and gluten? 1 day ago:
@depress_mode@lemmy.world did a good job but I want to add a few things that I think are important.
Calories - its pretty interesting to compare calories burned sleeeping, sitting, standing, walking, running. You might have encountered the term aerobic excersise and getting a certain heart rate. That is because most of our calorie usage is really about pumping our blood. Not that the heart uses so much but that its the system that feeds us the calories.
glucose is the sugare that our cells can handle directly. in the hospital you will be given a glucose or dextrose iv when they want to give you calories. the two words are both for the same sugar. you cells metbolize other things but these are usually things your body makes from other types of food during digestion. glucose is sorta the most basic sugar and energy source for your body. that does not mean its healthy though as it actually spikes your blood sugar more than any other.
carbs sorta come in two varieties. simple ones are very easy to break down into sugars and energy. Like rice, bread, potatoes. Complex are hard to digest ones like fiber and generally help make you feel fuller when you eat and help clean out our system
I have nothing to add to the gluten part.

- Comment on Do women actually enjoy sex? 3 days ago:
One reason im with my wife is her apparent love of sex. Its funny I knew guys who believed there were two types of women. the marrying kind and the ones you had fun with. I believed the same thing but it was only one type of woman.

he managed to do more useful things in one term for the average person than any president in my lifetime and most problems we have came before him or from the courts or congress.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 4 days ago:
but its the ways they are different that upset me.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 4 days ago:
oh yeah because the last two years are just like the 4 before. more trump. more maga. ugh.
- Comment on Is there a fediverse service that access most fediverse networks? 4 days ago:
I started at kbin and it having more integration is one of the reasons I did. If I was in the group who made the fediverse with my 20/20 hidnsite. I would have pressed for a user focused thing. Have light servers that do the user accounts and config for many services. Hopefully this would make it even easier for somone to self host their user config. then have the various services and just do something like saml and don’t even copy over the data. Make communities back upable just like user config and federation would be more of a shared backup thing if anything although user servers would get updates on whats on the fediverse. something like that. then I would mention with my foreknowldge how trust cafe does the rank everything thing.

yeah but it would not even be close to a trillion and china and russia don’t spend nearly what we do combined.

- Comment on Bought a "less than lethal" launcher with pepper balls. Tried loading it. Ball exploded in the mag after I pat it into the launcher. Should have done better. 1 week ago:
is it. I actually did not watch just saw it was like what I have seen on tv. so I watched like 5 sec with no volume. I mean like almost everything turns me off nowadays but this one is especially so for me.

no sure. the commercials they have the people carrying bannanas and saying what they have is not it. like some law won’t allow them to show it but I know of no such law in my area so feels like a way of trying to causing buzz or something.

im not sure about likely. Im pretty old and I don’t know anyone where they had a situation that would need one. That being said plenty have carried pepper spray especially women. That is much easier to carry on oneself. More like its possible to have an outside chance to save you a huge heartache maybe.
- Comment on Is starlink internet worth it or shit for gaming? 1 week ago:
fiber is the gold standard. if you have that option then use it. starlink and sattelite is for rural areas where you can’t get fiber or even cell towers with modern levels of service.
- Comment on YouTube money for charities 1 week ago:
running video uses a fair amount of power. Both on your end and in the datacenter. I bet sending them 10 bucks a month would do better for them. Heck even a fiver.

this is me. I kinda like having a multitool but I can’t see having something on me every day that is likely to never be used.

is that the bannana thing because I find the commercials to annoying to bother following up whatever the heck it is.

sorry that was bad on my part. I quickly searched and skimmed so did not properly portray it.

I kinda feel halflife soldiers are pretty smart.
- Comment on Ate there more galaxies in the universe, than stars that can be seen from Earth with the naked eye, or with a telescope? 1 week ago:
I went through because I was hoping someone would answer and especially explain it better than I. Basically we can only see object out to a certain distance partially due to the speed of light and also partiall due to resolution. The farther away the harder it is to get detail as the signal degrades do to interaction with things. In addition space expands and is not limited to the speed of light. Much of what we understand is from non light signals like the cosmic microwave background that does not give us images. The long and short is we can see out a distance from ourselves in all directions but the farthest we have seen as far as I can tell from searching is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MoM-z14 from the james web. Which is under 300 million years.
