Well, JS is just as much of a joke to me. ;)

I like this theory but considering the very high correlation with adhd ...

First of all, my wife has a cPTSD associated with social anxiety and depression diagnosed, and we suspect she might also have ADHD and chronic fatigue, because some of her issues could not be explained by cPTSD and depression alone. And I believe that all my friends with diagnosed ADHD talked about some ACEs... So it would fit into my personal anecdotal evidence.

But... Phew, where do I start? ... I have to admit, I only looked at the abstract, methods and results, but from looking at just these aspects, this study you linked seems to be very weak.

• They only looked at caregiver-reported ADHD.
  • One explaining factor was whether they had a public health insurance. Maybe because those without one can't afford it and private ones don't cover the diagnostic? Just an idea, of course.
  • I somehow don't trust caregiver-reported data to be free of biases. Are parents with undiagnosed ADHD exactly as likely to correctly report their children's ADHD? If it's undiagnosed, their children's issues might just appear normal to them. Are parents working to jobs to get by or even parents with untreated trauma directly subjecting their children to ACEs likely to notice their children's ADHD? I'm an engineer, not a social scientist or expert in medicine, but somehow, I believe that some scepticism towards the underlying data is in order.
• "race" was an explaining factor. That might actually support the "hunter-gatherer vs. farmers" hypothesis, because farming developed in very different paces in different regions and that hypothesis assumes that ADHD was an adverse factor in natural selection in these communities. But as always, "race" is scientific bullshit because it mixes up and oversimplifies so incredibly many economic, cultural, political and biological factors that might actually have an influence.

Nooo, it's a trap!

What's so interesting to me is that in spite of the city's green infrastructure, the inequities persist.

Solar PV has the potential to be a tool for a free society, because it can be decentralized. If it all belongs to the utility, the state or the landlords, it's not decentralized and not used as the tool it could be.

Sorry, haven't seen your reply earlier.

Well and Germans calling Barcelona "Bazelona".

Huh? You must have heard someone having no idea what they're talking about. :D

We write it the same as in Spanish... So we have an r sound in there, but typically we don't roll the r and instead pronounce it like the French. And we'll pronounce Spanish "c" like a sharp S, but there's plenty of Spanish and Latin American people doing the same. I have lived in Bogotá, I'm allowed to do this. :D

Yeah, but that's not unique to Americans or even the English language. In German we write it the same (Parmesan) and pronounce a soft s in that place.

What the actual fuck? This idiot may have his braindead opinions and do to his OSS project whatever he wants (so sag I wasn't on the list), but that is just such a fucked up thing to do.

I have found no indication that FreeBSD won't accept LLM-assisted contributions... On their wiki there is a small section about rules for a summer of code event, where they forbid it being used for coding, but just because that event is intended to be about learning... That doesn't sound like a clear "no" to all LLM contributions.

It's not ethnic essentialism to acknowledge that there are cultures that long knew of the dangers of exploiting the land too much and put more emphasis on sustainability in their usage of the land. Extractivism, colonialism and infinite growth are parts of our culture and culture can change as a result of conscious decisions. Indigenous cultures can be part of the motivation to do so at all and be inspiration for where to go instead.

Man, I despise Vassiliadis and his union. He's the worst the DGB has to offer, even though all of them (at the top) are bootlickers selling out the workers all the time.

Mh, I have an academic background in electrical engineering with focus on energy storage (primary), power electronics (and grids). I must say, in terms of academic knowledge the distinction made in that explanation is nonsense. MPPT devices also use pulse width modulation as an underlying technique but have another layer of feedback control on top. I also don't think that you can say that the power electronic circuits are generally different between the two. But of course that additional control layer probably means there's additional microelectronic circuitry.

HOWEVER, I know marketing people and maybe the distinction presented there makes sense when talking about actual products on the market and under which product categories they're sold...

It really depends on what you actually need, how much setup the IT department can manage and how well the change is communicated and managed, I guess.

We use it (i.e. the Element client) mostly for chatting and another open source solution (BigBlueButton) for online meetings, but voice and video calls are possible directly with Element. Matrix lacks the out of the box office product integration for collaborating on presentations, spreadsheets or text files that Teams has. It can be extended via widgets though, which includes at least etherpad and afaik there are options for nextcloud (which has collabora) integration as well, so with a bit of setup, even that could be emulated.

So that would of course require some setup and maintenance and if the company used Teams before, some training and help for the users as well.
