    [email protected] explained above:

    The original post only gave half the explanation. It’s not that lead exists in general, it’s that lead exists within zircon crystals.

    Under normal circumstances that would be impossible, zircon crystals strongly reject lead atoms as they form. There’s no way to stuff lead into the crystal lattice in the quantity we find them there. But uranium and zircon go together just fine, we just have to wait for it to decay into lead. The trouble is it takes ~4.5 billion years for just half of those uranium atoms to turn into lead. So any zircon crystal we find with half as much lead as uranium must be roughly that old




  • My tipp: don’t try to analyze and think to much about yourself. It’s like thinking about the way you walk and suddenly walking feels strange and forced. You can’t change who you are, don’t even try it.

    Instead try to focus on her, everyone loves a good, active listener. You are there to get to know her anyway, aren’t you?

    One thing you should take to your heart. Finding a good match isn’t an easy task, don’t go on a date expecting her to be the one. Eventually you will get disappointed or rejected, that is totally normal and nothing to worry about. It just means you and her weren’t a good fit.

    And don’t try to act in a way thats untypical for you just to impress her. You want her to get to know the real you, not the impression of someone you think she would like.

    Think about it like a casual date without any expectations is the best you can do


  • might be your smartphone browser/system is using some kind of proxy. this could explain that you are able to ping, but the browser shows access denied. if no log entries are generated on the server when trying to access it via browser, it has to be something on client side or inbetween. on grapheneOS check: Settings - Network and Internet - Internet - Wifi-Settings - choose edit at top right - then advanced. If proxy is not set to none, change it and test again.

    If this still doesn’t help, my last bet is some kind of duplicate IP



  • I second that! Been using it for ~4 years now and I so much prefer it to the old launchers. After installing it I completely stopped testing new launchers.

    Does anyone still remember the old (2010) launcher called slide it. Unfortunatly it was discontinued and I have always been searching for an adequate replacement. In Niagara I have found it.

    Anyway, back to why i like Niagara so much. With every other launcher the workflow is like this:

    • swipe up for menu
    • swipe 2-5 pages left or right till you reach your app
    • click your app icon

    which takes ages and is tedious.

    On Niagara I just swipe along the left or right edge until the letter my apps name is starting with appears and click the icon. That’s it.

    Having notifications beneath your favorite apps and an included media control app when audio is playing is superb. (I’m using the pro version). Calendar is aCalendar btw.

    Best few bucks I have ever spend for some android app.

    Here in Germany we had an ad for a “Tiefbauunternehmen” / “civil engineering company”.

    The German name translates to “deep building company”. Their slogan: “Experten für untenrum” / “professionals for the parts down below”.

    I hope the translation works





  • I also think it’s a healthy attitude but at the same time it’s sad that people can’t trust their own devices any longer.

    Using your real name can have benefits, like metadata in office documents or things like that. If you are sure your devices are yours and secure, there shouldn’t be a reason not to use your own name. Unfortunately this isn’t the case anymore if you are using anything else but Linux


  • A few days ago I tried to install Windows 11 on the PC of a friend. It didn’t work because of missing SATA drivers. Anyway, I was shocked how many points there are where Microsoft or Apple (we used his mac to create the USB drive) tries to sell something (buy pro version of fan controll now) or wants your permissions to gather all your data.

    I convinced him to let me install debian. When it came to creating the default user he was hesitant to use his full name, because telemetry :D
