7% of emergency department visits were for kids that took melatonin?

What kind of bull is this?

(Bad reporting or proofreading, 7% of pediatric ingestions)

I use Bitwarden for passwords. Just works so well.

KeepassXC and KeePassium for TOTP codes. I keep the database in the cloud but sync a key with Syncthing that’s needed to unlock the database on the devices themselves.

It’s not a controversial decision… it’s a dumb as fuck decision not based in medicine or science.

It’s literally a pirate themed company. Don’t be surprised.

We’re in the early hype phase of a new innovation fad. It’ll die down and then we’ll find out what it’s ACTUALLY useful for.

AFAIK Libreoffice only uses Java for limited things and isn’t a requirement.

Pretty sure it’s mostly C++

Yeah they’re all in on snaps. Vote with your distro choice.

Audiologist here.

We treat it like a medical emergency. Reason being if it is a sudden sensorineural loss then they would start you on Prednisone asap. It may help to preserve your hearing.

We think it needs started within a few weeks (at the very most) but earlier is probably better.

That being said, it might not be a sudden sensorineural loss. A hearing test would tell you.

In my experience having seen many actual sudden sensorineural losses over the years, the treatment doesn’t necessarily help in many cases. It’s a last ditch effort really to preserve what we can. Personally, I would probably just wait for morning, but I would tell a patient to go immediately.

Everything should be date-based name releases.

If it’s released April, 2023 it should be 23.04 or similar.

Other schemes are arbitrary.

Change my mind.

Anyone else starting to favor Flatpak over native packages?

I am currently using Linux Mint (after a long stint of using MX Linux) after learning it handles Nvidia graphics cards flawlessly, which I am grateful for. Whatever grief I have given Ubuntu in the past, I take it back because when they make something work, it is solid....

Sure. Except you gain universal compatibility for all distros that have flatpak and aren’t building all the different package formats. Makes it much more attractive for actual developers to package since it’s only done once.

There’s no right answer here, but there are definite benefits.

I’ve had many little issues since I moved to Linux years ago, most of which would never have been an issue if flatpaks were there at the time. My experience has been better with them.

I have a ton of flatpaks which means packages are shared between them, so no it’s not lazy or a copy of the whole system. It makes a ton of sense for stability.

Updates are diff’s so downloading and updating is fast. Not entire packages.

Making every package work with only a certain version of a dependency and hoping it is stable doesn’t make a lot of sense.
