ikidd@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•KDE Devs, I Love You, But Please Remove This FeatureEnglish20·21 hours agoThing like this are why there’s a million settings in KDE; every dev is prepared for the inevitable “but I hate it, make it go away” complaint. Granted, this complainer was pretty respectful and threw in a donation to soften the blow. Most people just act entitled, like the dev personally affronted them with their update.

ikidd@lemmy.worldto Greentext@sh.itjust.works•I watched several videos on a Combine Harvester's inner workings and I still don't understand how this thing works.English41·2 days agoYou’re tilting against the wind. It seems people that know nothing about farming are the ones that have the strongest opinions about farming and food.
ikidd@lemmy.worldto Greentext@sh.itjust.works•I watched several videos on a Combine Harvester's inner workings and I still don't understand how this thing works.English1·2 days agoSo what if your rows were 1/2 mile wide and 1/2 mile long, and you had dozens of these rows with about 4-6 cultures interspersed amongst them? It would be like a single field with several rows, but at a scale that makes 120’ sprayers and 60’ combine headers make sense. You know, like a farm.
More like dad goes to jail.
ikidd@lemmy.worldto science@lemmy.world•Northwestern University sued over suicide of Chinese-American scientist targeted by the Justice Department. Though she was never charged, Northwestern closed her lab and reassigned her grant fundingEnglish17·3 days agoI mean, in a murder investigation, you might go through a dozen people, checking alibis and generally investigating to find the final suspect and convict.
Granted, what happened here was unconscionable for someone that was only being investigated. I can see her being put on administrative leave while it were sorted out to minimize damage if she actually were guilty. But what was done beyond that wasn’t right.
But you also can’t ignore investigations because people might get upset. Unfortunately China has spent decades committing provable industrial espionage, so it’s hard to say you can’t go down that road. And when you get that high of a percentage of convictions, it proves that out. Frankly, the Chinese government should be as much on the hook here for what was done to her as NWU because they sure make it hard to be even-handed when it comes to theft of IP.
