I suppose they get paid the same without the extra work so they don’t bother
a more cynical person might wonder if this is one of those studies paid for by “the industry” and that industry might prefer people drink the addictive variety.

In my case (blessed with not having to work with Windows), the kludgy feel of how workspaces previously worked with multiple monitors has sometimes made me not bother connecting them up.
The old way tries to merge the two monitors into a single screen, and so when your monitors have different resolutions, your “single screen” is now sort of L-shaped. Which would cause weird effects on some DEs where for instance dragging a window off the edge of the smaller monitor wouldn’t work, as width of the “single screen” was taken to be the width of the larger monitor not the smaller one. (I must add that KDE is not one of these DEs, and you can drag off the edge like that)
There are still some behaviours with per-screen virtual desktops that I hope might be fixed in future - such as “Zoom Desktop” (Meta+mousewheel). I use this quite a bit for reducing the black bars on extra wide aspect ratio films, and it does zoom both monitors at the moment. I don’t know if it’d be practical to have this feature just zoom one desktop, but it would be great for me when I’m working and have Netflix on at the same time.
The LTS I assume? That’s annoying, my VPS has been on 24.04 and I’m looking forward to upgrading to 26.04 just for the newer PHP version (without using a 3rd party PPA). I’m waiting for 26.04.01 before making the move.
How many others are loving the “per-screen virtual desktops” feature introduced with 6.7?
It seems there’s a small (?) contingent of people who’ve been clamouring for this ever since multi-monitor setups became commonplace. Then there’s a whole nother load of people who don’t care.
Do many people here even use multiple workspaces? I know many just have all apps open on the visible workspace and alt-tab between them.


The phenomenon they’ve identified doesn’t seem to be cannabis-specific at all. The finding really seems to be, “capitalism will pursue profits at the expense of customers’ well-being”.
Which isn’t going to be news to anyone but the most deluded libertarian. It’s a great example of why we absolutely need government to impose sensible regulations on business, because otherwise short-term profiteering will win over long-term societal good.
Cannabis, as it moves from illegal black markets to legitimacy, is just in an interesting position to highlight these kinds of effects.


after “all of the above” they specify the 30kph as “if it’s only a raised border”
Yes, that’s why I asked if they really meant “all of the above” - I rather suspect they were just referring to the other measures that do make sense for both protected and unprotected cycle paths (only bicyclists allowed, distinctive paint schemes etc).
a 2-3in stepped concrete block and keeping the cycling lane raised
pretty sure this is what is meant by protected cycle lane - some kind of kerb between the cycle lane and the motor vehicle lane. There are many cycle lanes like this in Europe and they are unquestionably way safer. FYI you don’t need to have the cycle path raised to the same height as the kerb - many do not do that, and just have a line of raised kerb stones on the traffic side of the bike lane.


All of the above
I don’t think you mean this do you? Or do you really think there shouldn’t be any kind of bike path when the speed limit is greater than 30 km/h, or the road has more than 2 lanes?


at least we can be pretty sure the text isn’t LLM generated - it’s so clunky and hard to read 😬


To expand a little on what you’re saying, in this procedure, T-cells are genetically engineered “to make proteins on their surface called chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). The CARs can recognise and target a specific protein on the surface of the cancer cells.” (source: https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/treatment/targeted-cancer-drugs-immunotherapy/car-t-cell-therapy)


Ah yes Orban that champion of personal freedoms and heroic warrior against government overreach


works fine for me too


install synaptic and your basically there man
What’s my basically there man? (Or should I say who is my basically there man?) I don’t think I’ve installed this. Is it like the Linux version of Bonzi Buddy?
</ smart arse little shit >


Sorry erm… how did the manager get in the balloon? Otherwise it sort of implies there’s a whole staff of people on the balloon in order to warrant a manager.


I don’t think you can have spreadsheets with multiple “sub sheets” (can’t think of an unambiguous name for them - basically the equivalent of browser tabs)
Pretty sure there’s no way to have graphical charts either.


It basically means dodging legal restrictions on investigation by using illegal (or at least inadmissible) means to obtain evidence, and once the police have it, they look for legal ways to get that same information.
So everywhere “has it”, the question is whether they use it. I don’t know if there’s reason to believe that EU police forces use such methods more or less than their US counterparts.


well yes exactly … in that realm of the unknown, our imaginations can run riot
it wasn’t that long ago that there were still dark corners of the earth - well, more like vast tracts of unexplored terrain - in the Amazon, deep in mountain ranges, or in icy tundra.
There dragons did roam, whilst flying demons did dart overhead, their ungodly shrieks turning the hearts of the bravest men to jello.
There are no secrets on the earth any more, so we have to look elsewhere to satisfy our lust for meaning and importance.


anything we don’t understand yet, that can be god… it used to be thunder, earthquakes, now it’s vast sheets of lifeless matter flooping around our intergalactic neighbourhood - progress I guess? 😁


I saw a really good rundown of this the other day on YouTube: “Presented by Joe Botting, independent palaeontologist and Honorary Research Fellow at the National Museum Wales”:


a machine capable of running Wasteland 2
Is there even such a machine on God’s good earth? It’s definitely a good game, but absolutely blighted by instability & CTDs last time I tried it a few years ago.
Hmm. Maybe. How much VRAM you got?
