I am playing Railbound after it got on sale this week. Some of the extra levels are really hard and I have yet to find a solution.

Overall it is a fun little game which works great on the Steam Deck.

No offense, but just no. If you don't like the art, but the artist that's fine, absolutely no problem here, but supporting a person like J. K. Rowling financially by consuming their creation is actually a problem and should be opposed.

This view is enabling horrible people and not okay.

I could have also picked a habanero which is admittedly a lot more spicy and it used to be the hottest pepper in the world, but it usually doesn't cause a big reaction either.

Anyway, that's missing the point. I was talking about the total amount of capsaicin which can't be really high in just one chip. It is just a tiny amount of concentrated capsaicin and I believe that people usually consume more with a regular spicy meal. Hence my believe that not the capsaicin itself is the problem.

The effects on blood pressure are well known, but that it can cause spasm of arteries is interesting.

Many people eat lots of spicy food daily and I never heard of serious health issues. Especially a single chip might contain a concentrated amount of capsaicin, but it is unlikely to contain much more in volume then a hot plate of chili con carne or even just a hand full of raw jalapenos. So I assume it is some underlying condition and a shock reaction and not the capsaicin itself.

I would love to see more research into this.

Personally I didn't like Deepin and I didn't really use it for long so I can't say much about it. Anyway, it is part of the the extra repositories of Arch, so you can expect a current and maintained version.

It should be the same for other Arch based distros. Just stay clear of Manjaro. It should not be used by anyone.

Yea, especially avoid food with lots of starch. It is worse than plain industrial sugar as it is basically pure glucose, all it needs is some saliva.

Yea, no. It doesn't work with ssh agent and it cannot read includes and other configuration options. I believe it also tries to install some components remotely which is bad enough, but causes additional issues in environments with proxies or without internet access at all. Iirc also plugins must be installed remotely to work.

In a normal professional context it just does not work and it is a hassle to deal with. It might work in a home lab, but nowhere beyond that.

Ctrl/Shift+Insert gang rise!

Yes, you are correct. That's not a solution, but leaves all options open and everything is voluntary.

I don't believe there is a satisfactory solution for everyone at once, so I don't think you can do any better than this.

This is just clickbait.

I watched the video and he is missing the point by trying to be in the center of the debate. There is either discrimination or acceptance and not much of a middle ground.

Points 1-5 are obvious and nobody should be confused about any of that. Of course he is right here and water is wet.

6 is actually a real problem, but it cannot be solved. Either you discolose it yourself which either leads to outing or staying in the closet or people assume for you which also leaves you in the closet. In my groups we stopped asking about pronouns to not put anyone on the spot, but there is no satisfying solution to this problem.

Of course you can demand others to refer to you in a way, the same way you provide a name. It is very much a social expectation and here the video is missing the point. Either you respect the other person or discriminate them, there exists no middle ground. It is the same as refusing to use their name. There is also no distinction if you disrespect them to their face or behind their back (talking to others about them).

In general it is safe to install as many DEs as you want. There is some overlap between (user) configuration files though which might be annoying.

It should be fine to experiment, but you might need to restore some settings afterwards. For daily use I would just stick to one DE. Personally I don't think there is really a reason to use multiple DEs as a single user. It would throw me off and mess with my workflow.

Also keep in mind that many DE also provide a set of default tools which add clutter. So you probably want to keep it low for this reason alone.
