where is that diagram that compares various methods of adapting to sunlight over the year? There was one that always had sunrise at 8 am or something and more. I can't seem to find the right one.

It looks exactly like this one but comparing other methods: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7a/Greenwich_GB_DaylightChart.png

I support the attempts to delete DLT and so on because the time shift has negative psychological effects and stress on so many people.

But me personally i don't care at all. I guess i am lucky to be naturally an early bird, having a flexible job nearby, no family and so on. It does not matter if i wake up a 7 or 8.

exactly this. Spreadsheets are so simple to understand that people think and communicate in spreadsheets. Managers don't understand how much they fucking love them. Its like a cult. They make everybody meet 5 times a week to look at various spreadsheets together. And don't see how ineffective they often are.

"we have a problem? Ok lets make a spreadsheet! Oh, the problem wasn't solved yet? Ok then look at the spreadsheet every week now!"

in Thailand i usually ordered non spicy at all. Just on time i ordered my pat Thai with the tiniest bit of spicy, making very clear they got the point. I couldn't eat it.

i agree that AI is a bubble of trash but shutting off a part that wasn't worth the cost is not an indication of an end. They just reduced cost to extend the financial runway. From my point of view text and coding were more popular anyway.

i had some dates with a girl who looked at me like that. Exactly this critical facial expression... 🤔

I don't know, man. What if its cloudy?

But then obviously pedestrians or cyclists don't compare in distance by far. Cars drive autobahns and whatnot. There should be a statistic for daily use instead. Like: ride the bike to work versus drive the car to work versus take the train to work, etc. How many people die?

[–] klay1@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

there are significantly more cars around than bikes.

I see what you mean and agree, that relative numbers would be nice. But what would the counter argument be? That if there were more bikes, then bike-related deaths would rise more than car-related deaths would shrink? It would be hard to prove that.

Also, the matrix for cities still shows cars as a much bigger problem, while European cities have plenty of cyclists. Again, relative numbers would be nice. Or a comparison between a dutch city and a polish city, for example. But if i compare both tables (overall vs cities), i am certain the argument holds.

this is about road traffic. I am sure murder goes into an other statistic.

Whenever media, politicians, people or even the police complain about dangerous cyclists, with their reckless driving, without a helmet, without a light, please remember it is a distraction. They don't want you to know the truth, because they love their cars more than the neighbors children.

I kindly ask you to remind them of this table whenever the topic comes up. For example: 'yes, cyclists should have a light to reduce danger, but remember that the car is the bigger danger by far. Always. And whenever we ignore that, we accept the loss of lives.' This is not whataboutism, because regarding safety, the numbers clearly show which culprit to urgently address first.

Even if the car was more dangerous in the past and safety regulations have helped: these numbers are from 2022. If you feel safer driving in a car, instead of walking or cycling: look for the deaths for car-on-car collisions.

There is no way around this: if we have that many cars driving fast, we will have that many deaths.

Thank you!

solved: not plasmas fault: the monitors own smartcontrast did that.

Hi, please kindly direct me to the right community to ask this:

Plasma 6 is my favorite DE and i use KDE neon. The screen brightness adapts automatically to the windows i focus on, which is a good idea. But it does that the wrong way IMO. Dark windows are dimmed and bright windows are lit up. Why? Now i have both extremes switching back and forth all the time. Can we turn that the other way around or turn it off please?

I like that the screens hardware brightness setting is used now from the desktop. Great! But now i have no control over it anymore, since when i open a bright window, the brightness setting goes up too. I hate that at night.

Usually adjusting the brightness for me has one purpose:

  • bright room: max display brightness (day)
  • dark room: min display brightness (night)

...maybe something in between for transition. All the other features are nice to have but please only work on them when this main feature is secured.
