  • To be clear, the headline refers to yank degrees:

    In outdoor tests in Arizona, the textile stayed […] 16 F (8.9 C) cooler than regular silk, a breathable fabric often used for dresses and shirts.

    They didn’t really compare it to many materials it seems.

    I also don’t know why they said 16+ degrees. That was the largest temperature delta they saw, not the least…

    Besides, this is only part of the tale.

    • Is it affordable?

    • Is it mass manufacturable?

    • Is it comfortable?

    • Is it durable?

    • Is it washable?

    • Is it crease prone?

    • Can it be easily mixed with other materials, e.g. to make it elasticated?

    • Is it recyclable?

    • Is it dyeable?

    • etc

    Sounds cool (heh) though. I’m often too warm.







  • It’s not even worth explaining because it’s so obvious that they do. If you said that eating chicken raw is good for you I also wouldn’t bother explaining why that’s not true. I’d just call it out as nonsense.

    You insulted me first, dipshit. Quit advertising to the world how stupid you are. I don’t know what kind of brainrot you’re experiencing, but you should get it looked at.

    You’re honestly arguing that companies aren’t incentivised to do things like make profit? Or retain employees? You are brain-dead lmao








  • Gnome hates hacky solutions, they’re implementing it now because it’s finally well-supported in portals and in the freedesktop standard (btw, accent colours being a cross-desktop standard is something they avidly pushed for).

    They also had a lot of discussion about how choosing some accent colours (particularly red) could have a detrimental effect on PC usage in terms of differentiating between dangerous or “destructive” buttons and other ones in dialogue boxes.

    I.e. if red is your accent colour, then all of a sudden the red button that says “Yes” in an “Are you sure you want to delete this?” loses some clarity of being a dangerous/destructive action, because you’re now used to seeing red all over your system. This, from a usability perspective, is bad.

    They had multiple pages going over this, and other things, in excruciating detail, citing multiple UX usability studies.

    I don’t know if they came up with a solution to that or not, it’s just nice that the team takes everything into consideration and thoroughly examines it.

    I’m extremely glad Gnome thinks about these things and takes time to implement things in the best way that they can, rather than just rushing everything out. Attention to detail like that is a big part of why I love using Gnome.
