Pearl jam is my favorite band also, and Riot act is probably also my favorite album of theirs.

If you like Pearl jam, I'd recommend my favorite album of all times: Soundgarden's Superunknown.

Some of my lesser-known, non-grunge favorites:

And greed, well you gotta be wealthy in order to afford giving God a nice juicy tithe. Also gotta be self sufficient.

According to Luke 16:13 Jesus said “You cannot serve both God and money.”

Mark 10:21 “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

Yes. We need a fertility rate of about 0.01 for several decades, because human overpopulation is the root cause and biggest cause of catastrophic climate change:

If we choose not to vote in parties to make such laws, we'll be culpable in letting the anthropocene extinction event become a mass-extinction event - wiping out more than 50% of genera and more than 70% of species. If you think too few honey bees are bad, imagine how catastrophic it would be for most living species to go extinct, including almost all the small life forms in the oceans which provide the majority of the biosphere's oxygen.

Human overpopulation is the biggest cause of anthropogenic climate change, and the root cause of almost all existential and major ethical problems facing us.

Becoming a biological parent while our fertility rate is catastrophically and unsustainably high, causes by far more CO2e pollution than anything else.

We shouldn't just tax these omnicidal people, we should vote in parties that'll make laws to jail or hang people making the world unlivable.

opossum is naturally immune to rabies

The CDC says they're not, they just rarely have rabies: https://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/rabies/pdf/vs-0612-wildlife-rabies-h.pdf

The way the 4th panel leads your eyes up to the 2nd is amazing: 5 panels for the size of 4.

It may mean the user doesn't think their use is similar enough to the people who make the distro/DE, or trust the distro makers' decision making ability.

If a distros' makers think snaps are a good idea, or that the distro shouldn't by default show available security updates, or have a UI that hides how many open instances there are of a program unless you hover over an icon, or hides the titles of those open programs, or hides panels; then the way I use a PC is too different from the way they do - and there are likely more things in the background that we disagree with which can't as easily be changed like UI settings.

a full and clear separation from any potential conflict of interest (while noble) is how projects die.

There are worse things than death, like being successful by screwing people over and/or making the biosphere unlivable.

Thanks for the comments. Based on them I found https://github.com/snapcrafters/gimp/issues/21 which suggested copying the font to ~/.fonts/ (which didn't work) and to /usr/local/share/fonts/ which fixed it - Epiphany can now see the font, and I can now set it as default in Firefox (tho Firefox is ignoring it in a page's CSS).

Answer: "The lifespan of these wasps is only 5 days"

"it's brain cells get rid of their own nucleus and all its stored maintenance information. The neurons already exist, so maintenance is the only task [...] requiring DNA, and they don’t live long enough for that to matter at this point"

"No nucleus or DNA frees up half of a neuron’s volume"

 

Edit: copying the font to /usr/local/share/fonts/ fixed it. (I downloaded Debian Xfce a while ago because of how much I dislike Snap, so I'll soon replace Xubuntu with it.)

I recently installed the font “Atkinson Hyperlegible” on Xubuntu 22.04.3 (via right click, Fonts 41.0), and I use it as the Xfce UI font and the default in Mousepad and LibreOffice without any problems.

However in Firefox 120.0.1 (64-bit), Snap for Ubuntu, canonical-002 - 1.0; it’s not listed at Edit, Settings, Fonts; or Fonts, Advanced…

When I view an HTML page where the CSS’ body has font-family:"Atkinson Hyperlegible",sans-serif; it also doesn’t use the Atkinson font. That page also doesn’t use Atkinson in the (Epiphany GNOME) Web 45.1 browser.

Any ideas on how to get Firefox and Epiphany to see it?
