To be clear, the headline refers to yank degrees:

In outdoor tests in Arizona, the textile stayed […] 16 F (8.9 C) cooler than regular silk, a breathable fabric often used for dresses and shirts.

They didn’t really compare it to many materials it seems.

I also don’t know why they said 16+ degrees. That was the largest temperature delta they saw, not the least…

Besides, this is only part of the tale:

• Is it affordable?

• Is it mass manufacturable?

• Is it comfortable?

• Is it durable?

• Is it washable?

• Is it crease prone?

• Can it be easily mixed with other materials, e.g. to make it elasticated?

• Is it recyclable?

• Is it dyeable?

• is it fine for sensitive skin?

• etc

Sounds cool (heh) though. I’m often too warm.

The tone here is surprisingly negative. Personally I’m happy with the efforts of the Flathub team 🤷

I’m glad the FIA is an organisation that focuses on important things like drivers having a nose stud or missing a dinner party, and not silly inconsequential things like a driver deliberately crashing into another driver then openly admitting that’s exactly what they did.

Didn’t say tone was an argument. I said you’re a fucking idiot.

Wow you actually don’t think companies have a profit motive. HAHAHAHA. You are mentally deficient.

Aww nooo I like a TV programme you don’t like and that huwts your wittle feewings. Struggle to see what kind of argument that is, but if that’s what you want to latch onto then be my guest.

Copy we are checking

That was clearly in jest lol

It’s not even worth explaining because it’s so obvious that they do. If you said that eating chicken raw is good for you I also wouldn’t bother explaining why that’s not true. I’d just call it out as nonsense.

You insulted me first, dipshit. Quit advertising to the world how stupid you are. I don’t know what kind of brainrot you’re experiencing, but you should get it looked at.

You’re honestly arguing that companies aren’t incentivised to do things like make profit? Or retain employees? You are brain-dead lmao

Ok then, but you’re very much in the minority. People wouldn’t do it if it didn’t work.

I’m happy going back to high-revving non-hybrids.

I’m happy sticking to the hybrids we have now.

I’m not fine with 2026’s removal of the MGU-H, which just gives us what we have now only more compromised. The MGU-H is probably the most fascinating aspect of current F1 engines.

I think that’s just the nature of male sex toys needing to be made out of a much softer material, unfortunately.

I went in 2013, it was an incredible weekend. But looking at prices now, there’s no chance I’ll ever go again. Makes far more sense to fly to Hungary and watch their grand prix for far cheaper.

In Gnome too. I’ve been doing it.

Yes, no VRR (by default anyway) was a mild inconvenience, but it doesn’t exactly make games unplayable. It’s not like everybody hated gaming before gsync/freesync became widespread.

Gnome have been trying to agree on a standardised, cross-desktop system tray replacement for a long time now. Unfortunately it hasn’t really got anywhere, so it’ll be a while.

Gnome hates hacky solutions, they’re implementing it now because it’s finally well-supported in portals and in the freedesktop standard (btw, accent colours being a cross-desktop standard is something they avidly pushed for).

They also had a lot of discussion about how choosing some accent colours (particularly red) could have a detrimental effect on PC usage in terms of differentiating between dangerous or “destructive” buttons and other ones in dialogue boxes.

I.e. if red is your accent colour, then all of a sudden the red button that says “Yes” in an “Are you sure you want to delete this?” loses some clarity of being a dangerous/destructive action, because you’re now used to seeing red all over your system. This, from a usability perspective, is bad.

They had multiple pages going over this, and other things, in excruciating detail, citing multiple UX usability studies.

I don’t know if they came up with a solution to that or not, it’s just nice that the team takes everything into consideration and thoroughly examines it.

I’m extremely glad Gnome thinks about these things and takes time to implement things in the best way that they can, rather than just rushing everything out. Attention to detail like that is a big part of why I love using Gnome.

I mean same I guess, but I still view their cards finally potentially working properly and not wasting shitloads of manhours for distro/DE devs as a good thing that will benefit everyone.

Gnome is great for more than touch screens, it’s amazing with trackpads, and is extremely keyboard-focused. I’ve not really found a usecase where it doesn’t work well.

The term isn’t incorrect in the slightest.

The globe is warming.

I don’t see why you’re concocting these crazy conspiracy theories.

Why? You get a kick from your GPU drivers being a proprietary black box or something?

Because humans love faces. We love looking at them, we love seeing them. Our brains are wired to handle facial recognition very well and be drawn to faces.

In fact, the effect is so strong that we often see faces where none exist

People being drawn to faces has led to thumbnails with faces on getting far more attention. Tbh, if you were trying to make a YT channel your job, it’s very likely you’d start doing it too, you’d be actively sabotaging yourself for the sake of pride otherwise.

No, not correct, because your take is insane.

Of course governments, companies, and other institutions have incentives. Maybe if your thinking we’re just a bit more agile (translation: if you were a bit less stupid), you’d recognise that.
