Ah! So the same as the rest of their hard parts, I suppose. I suspected as much, but couldn't seem to find any paper that explicitly stated this.
Thank you!
In regards to use of calcite vs. chitin: doing a quick search: https://www.ualberta.ca/en/earth-sciences/facilities/collections-and-museums/treasury-of-trilobites/index.html
Were trilobites also unique in using calcite in addition to chitin in their exoskeleton? Do any extant arthropods use calcite in any significant way?
Can confirm 4. (Bluetooth) issues, and they aren't specific to Mint, I'm on Devuan linux and experience these random disconnects a lot. Very annoying.
Re: Wayland -- It's unpopular to say in many places online but I agree, it's still beta and I'm dismayed to see KDE has announced they're hiding X functionality by default now. I try Wayland about once a year, and there's always something like random desktop crashes (the WHOLE desktop/session) or other annoyances that make me go back to X-based sessions. Sorry Wayland people, you and the desktop manager folks need to figure things out and stop saying it's each other's job to handle this or that aspect of the UI/locking/keymaps/whatever.
Still love Linux but I also feel it's gotten a bit worse as compared to a decade ago.
The more general vuln is CVE-2023-45853 apparently, in zlib through version 1.3
https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2023-45853#status
is this general to any Linux distro using zlib or just Ubuntu?
Ah, I can try that then, thank you!
OK... so what's the best way to select a different keymap in Wayland? Searching around I see mentions of setting a keymap in config.h and recompiling a compositor.. or 'modifying the system XKB database in /usr/share/X11/xkb' ... or this tool https://github.com/xremap/xremap (have not tried it myself).
I need not just to tweak one or two keys, but to set a entire alt keymap (us,apl). and it has to be changeable on the fly, not statically, via AltGr or other user-defineable key.
I'd like to try KDE again, but last time I tried with wayland the keymap stuff seemed wonky to me.
Heaven forbid journalists do... you know, their jobs?
Best book for learning the ins and outs of MIDI I've ever encountered. Relatively obscure, but an invaluable reference book for anyone wanting to dig into the details of how MIDI works.
What? The government will actually collect taxes itself like every other sane country, instead of privatizing it out to middlemen grifters? Oh my, where is mah fainting couch?

What a bunch of maroons. 99.9% chance someone else mirrored that git repo.
EDIT: And this is yet another reason everyone, everywhere, should immediately mirror any git repo for a project they are even remotely interested in.
github giveth, and github can (and does) taketh away. Say NO to centralized source management platforms -- exactly the antithesis of what git was designed for in the first place!
He actually says they (the rich owners) need to "hurt the economy". Economic terrorist.
I vote to block them as well. Don't let Meta get its claws on lemmy.ca content or user info.
What I find interesting, then, is what advantage the trilobites may have gained by using a basic mineral for the lenses vs. organic chitin. Chitin must have a transparent form in order to function for the eyes in modern creatures? Hmm.
I read in one paper that trilobites may have actually formed some kind of dual-layer in their lenses to compensate for the double-refraction property of calcite.
