I know evolution is governed by chance and it is random but does it make sense to "ruin" sleep if there's light? I mean normally, outside, you never have pure darkness, there are the moon and stars even at night. In certain zones of the Earth we also have long periods of no sunshine and long periods of only sunshine....
This is something I always wondered because some people have a bunch of theories about whether your head should face north or south or whatever, because of the earth magnetic field. Is there any science in this or just “superstition”?...
After reading the abstract of the paper mentioned here I started wondering, why did human groups migrate away from southerner (warmer) places towards the north which is far colder and has less possibilities to grow crops and wild animals to hunt?...

Thanks for the AUA! Really excited about the Mega Release and even more for the future after!
My question is regarding Nate’s original proposal for the KDE goals “Professionalise KDE” if I remember well. Now, I know that the goal was changed and the scope reduced to “Automatization and Systematization” but I truly believe the original proposal’s spirit could have a huge impact on the whole ecosystem.
For example I remember the proposal contained the plan to hire a person working “full time” on actively finding fundings and grants and applying to them. We got the Mega Release fundraiser but for example on the forum I found discuss.kde.org/t/…/9916 and it looks like a waste of potential to not apply for grants because no one has the time to do so.
Is there anyone at KDE, maybe among the Board, who is still trying to make the “Professionalise KDE” happen?
P.S. I know you guys just want to reach the biggest amount of people but maybe we could start having the AUAs/AMAs and similar, only on Lemmy and a post on Reddit saying that the event will be hosted on Lemmy. This would make the Lemmy community the official one and could convince people to make the switch for the “exclusive content”. It’s not a critic, just want to see Lemmy prosper.
I think they should’ve done a community contest like for the wallpaper. But even more I think Plasma (or more in general KDE) should work on brand identity first and then, given the direction, decide a clear, original and distinct logo / wallpaper / whatever style.
Wouldn’t grow something from the inside require a very strong force to “move” the already present one? Instead growing from the last “layer” towards the outside would require a lot less force, but perhaps a lot more matter....
Yeah my question was wrongly put but I thought trees did what you described skin does: I thought new tree cells were created in the middle and the outermost layers were the oldest ones.
I have been curious for some time now if there is any difference between them besides one being located in “Display Configuration” and the other in “Power Management”. They seem a bit redundant to me so as if the folks from the Plasma team weren’t sure where to put and how to name it, lol. >.
I think presentation mode inhibits notifications so that if you’re presenting something, your presentation won’t be interrupted. Can’t remember where I read it though
Are there other human traits like light skin which people developed to adapt to the "new" environment they settled in?
I'm referring to the human race evolving in the African continent and then migrating to the rest of the world....
Regarding sleep quality, why did humans evolve to require full darkness?

Do you also configure the feedback to send everything? ( programming.dev )
Is there any scientific study about where should the bed be facing?

Why did groups of human beings migrate to northern zones of the world, and how did they survive?
After reading the abstract of the paper mentioned here I started wondering, why did human groups migrate away from southerner (warmer) places towards the north which is far colder and has less possibilities to grow crops and wild animals to hunt?...
AUA: We are the Plasma dev team. Ask Us Anything about Plasma 6, gear 24.02, Frameworks 6 and everything else in the upcoming Megarelease.

Hey Beehaw (and friends)! What’re you reading?...

Does a (phone|laptop) charger plugged in the socket but not connected to the device still consume electricity?
And if so, how much? Less, same or more than if it was actually charging something?...
Can cold-blooded animals die of hypothermia?
Why do trees stems grow new "parts" inside and not outside i.e. why is the oldest part of the stem the innermost "ring" and not the outermost?
Wouldn’t grow something from the inside require a very strong force to “move” the already present one? Instead growing from the last “layer” towards the outside would require a lot less force, but perhaps a lot more matter....
Is there a difference between "Presentation Mode" and "Manually block sleep and screen locking" in Plasma DE?

Why and how does atmosphere exist? Shouldn't all oxygen (and everthing else) fall down due to gravity?
Why were dinosaurs huge?
I mean, why evolution selected dinosaurs to become that huge?
Why does my arm hair know when to stop (re)growing but my "head" hair or beard don't know?
Since we can develop new allergies throughout life, and now I eat peanut butter every day, is it possible that suddendly one day I get an allergic reaction so strong it kills me?
