LMDE: https://linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php

LMDE is Debian-based, I believe you meant Linux Mint itself, which also doesn't use snaps.

You get all the driver support and tools from the Ubuntu base, with some nice additons. However, not all desktop environment are supported.

Unfortunately my favourite flavor, Ubuntu MATE, will sit out this release cycle: https://distrowatch.com/dwres-mobile.php?resource=showheadli...

That doesn't bode well for the future of MATE if they skip the 26.04 LTS releases.

I'm sure detailed mouse and keystroke data can actually leak health data from subjects. What are the odds one can detect early parkinson disease from mouse wiggle data? If such data leaks away health status, I think capture should be forbidden under current rules.

They are greening fast, and enabling greening of others through cost competitive supplies.

I wonder if this explains in part the purported health benefits from cofee. One thing people claim makes hard to quit cofee habit it's that they can't take a shit in the morning anymore.

And a chance of not being killed in utero. Abortion for Down is sad, because despite cognitive impairment and health complications, their lifespans are long, and emotional development is quite spared by the syndrome. They can be very affectionate and sociable, despite the impairment. Abortion for them feels like death penalty for being dumb.

I don't think that this is about being "dumb", but rather about being able to support oneself.

Becoming a parent and taking on the responsibility to support a child financially and emotionally for 18 years as you gradually prepare them for independent life is already a massively difficult decision, particularly when looking at the worldwide decline in birth rates. Expecting people to knowingly and ahead of time take on responsibility for a child who most likely will never be able to support themselves and a raise their own family seems really unreasonable to me.

> Show me a way to physically compute exp or ln that is less gates than add.

IIRC a resistor in series to a capacitor does the trick, for exp.

No, it approximates exp poorly over an infinitesimally small interval compared to exp. Resistors and capacitors are no where ideal components, which is why they have spec sheets to show how quickly they diverge.

If we’re making sloppy approximations to a tiny range of exp, then I too can do it with a few terms.

I wonder how much of this is due to the likes of Instagram, where everybody presents a throughout curated, filtered version of themselves, setting unrealistic expectations as a baseline everywhere.
