here is another seemingly wrong thing - most metals get brittle when they harden. or in the meme-y way

when the metal hardens, it breaks more easily, man…

Those who want the reason, when metals are hardened (by means by annealing and subsequent quenching, or cold working, or hot working), multiple “defects” (point, line, planar as well)(in this context, these words have specific meaning, but that is not very important). these “defects” resist motion, so if you apply some amount of force, they do not deform as much (not the technically correct wording, but close enough) - this is hardness. but simultaneously, when these defects form, they also act as psitions of “stress concentration” (imagine weak points). so more there are defects, harder they become, simultaneously, more likely to break (the likeliness to break is quantised by elongation at fracture, hardness has multiple quantisations, but we usually do some correlation-ary things (like measuring the area/depth of deformation made by some specific method))

as a end user - if project is very simple or small (say < 1000 LoC), i sometimes have a look.

I almost always read the readme/man page, and if their is wiki, that too.

Most of the comment section is hating on it being a chrome based browser, and not really answering the question, so let me try.

(partially unrelevant bit, you can skip it if you want to) I have been using it for about a week. before this, i was using qutebrowser (qt-webengine, which is essentially older lts chromium) for nearly a year and discussing with someone how i definitely should not be using such a old browser. So I am trying out “mainstream browsers” again. I went with helium, because the “someone” also recommended it. I was using librewolf for more than a year before qute, and did not like the performance (especially in my case, ha ving keyboard navigation, with something like vimium or tridactyl). Another reason is that i wanted to try something chromium (proper) after a long time.

What it is - if you have heard of ungoogled chromium project, this project builds from that, and they add some ui/ux features. for example, in ungoogled chromium, you can not download extensions from chromestore, you have to use a separate extension, and you essentially “sideload” them. They (helium) have made a middle man service (open, you can host your own instance), which you can use to get a nearly chrome like experience. They also ship with ublock origin (the proper manifest v2 version which is now deprecated in other chromium browsers). Other than that, it is almost stock chromium.

trustworthiness?? - can not really comment on that. I know the devs behind this browser have also made “cobalt.tools” website (imagine yt-dlp, but written from scratch and based in web tech (js)). So they have some cred from that. other than that, team is likely very small, and your proper trustworthiness essentially boils down to - do you trust their work? you can check their patches on github. if you want to, you can try to build from source and patches (building chrome is nightmarishly long). if you use their binary packages (which i am currently doing) then you are putting trust on them (remember xz situation?). in case they are using stuff like github action to generate their builds, then you can check the build files and artifacts as well.

unbiased ad-blocking

in this case, this just means they are using ublock origin with default filter lists. my guess for their wording is that they are not doing something like brave (you partially see ads) or like edge and other chromes which use some very light form of adblocking, which ofcourse does not work on their websites.

I’d prefer it be an extension

it is. they are shipping the manifest v2 (the full version) of ublock oob.

Isn’t BSD a sharealike license? So they can’t not

no. bsd (i think chrome is 3 clause, but not sure) is a just as open license like mit or gpl (minus the copyleft in gpl). and the core(ish) bits of chrome are lgpl (not sure. i am taliking about blink).

if anything, linux is now the youngest it has ever been (in terms of younger people using it, earlier it was almost all neckbeards, and i only have a tiny beard)

they are called taxes where i live

maybe try to use the newer qwen stuff via their api. they give free tokens of certain amount on signup

what if all cups were for a single person?

Pardon us, but this is not the approppriate community for this kinda post, maybe try the programming communities (for eg, https://programming.dev/c/programming) or a llm specific community (eg, https://lemmy.world/c/llm).

do i get partial credit professor?

I am not sure, but please correct me if i am wrong. Is the reason that the condtions are anoxic, which lead to lower rate of decomposing, and bog water primarily will not have stuff to digest humans otherwise (probably either stuff which does photosynthesis, or small filter feeders), so you would be kinda preserved. And if the bog is actively developing, you may descend, and eventually be stuck preserved (or whatever is the appropriate term for it)

this may seem stupid/naive, but geothermal does not have any such problem. it is effectively a ac (heat pump). Nuclear too does not require complex manufacturing. it still requires mining, but so do almost all electrical solutions too. but beyond that, they are just rocks that pretty much perpetually dissipiate heat. if you go for betavoltaics, they directly give electrons, and can charge stuff.

sadly, no - you still need high quality silica, and advanced facilities to manufacture the photovoltaics. Imagine it like you buying coal and using coal to power your house. yes this coal is cleaner, and runs for 10-20 years, but there are not many coal plants.

thankyou for encouraging. I will try out a bit. next thing to decide is topic to begin with, and how/where it would happen.

Imagine you are the one deciding, what medium would you prefer?

What i have been thinking is essentially a online meeting, like jitsi meet, which may be simultaneously casted online, or just recorded, and uploaded afterwards. people in meet would be able to ask, and hence it would be interactive. Whenever i have done courses, i have had like a billion questions, and if i do not ask, i do not understand, so i would not want anyone else to not be able to ask too. live chat is also interactive, but there is always a delay, and writing your doubts, is sometimes hard (you sometimes are so confused you do not know what to ask), so meeting helps with that.

in any case, if you need any help (for example course work or books), feel free to message me.
