What about setting a white background, which yields a white menubar?

A color logo might be added with an overlay app – or you reminisce a black&white screen.

So are we supposed to make custom backgrounds with a 30px white bar on top instead of expecting this to be an option in the settings like in every other sanely customizable OS?

seconding the overlay app, i forgot the name but there was an app that can configure the appearance of the menubar. maybe it's my menubar icon organizer? Not dozer or bartender, but can't recall right now

Ice organizes menubar icons and can alter the bar's appearance.

Why should she need sugar to walk? It is perfectly viable to let the muscles burn ketones instead. There is no need to eat carbs (unless there is a problem in the fat digestion system etc.)

While live rendering is nice, I suppose that generating static SVGs that are embedded in a static webpage generator are more fruitful for the typical case. A quick search yielded this: https://polbarrachina.com/2022/05/23/latex-and-tikz-in-jekyl...

In a wiki setting for example, it might be nice as it makes the direct human edition more accessible. Not as accessible as an embedded SVG editor of course. But still, compare how latex formula are used in Wikipedia, compared to mathml, or SVG.

I'm fond of using KaTeX for my personal blog posts. There is support for server side rendering for KaTeX (but not on GitHub pages because it necessarily opens it to arbitrary code execution - I asked).

But it notably lacks tikz support and if it can emit SVGs I'm beginning to wonder why I even use KaTeX and not something like this (beyond my personal anti-JS sentiment)

Also I suppose that Z authors might have more publications because they are nice to collaborate with.

Well if flouride would be efficient enough, there wouldn't be so many dentists around. What source do you need for that?

I hope you're joking. This applies "efficient enough" is 100% effective and tooth decay is the only reason for dentists. The vast majority of my dental visits have been unrelated to cavities, and the studies I've seen quote 25% efficacy, which I'd hope you'd agree isn't "no effect!"

sorry I was not joking. If flouride (also in toothpaste) would be enough to stop the typical tooth decay with the current habits of eating sugar, soda etc., well then fine.

But it is not enough. However I believe that stopping sugar, soda, bread etc. would be enough. In that case, the fluoride neurotoxin would not be necessary anymore.

I don't disagree. Sugar isn't a harmless chemical either! It's significantly worse than fluoride at the quantities we consume. The problem is how to actually do something about it.

Adding fluoride to water is insanely effective for how easy it is. The 70% of Americans who drink fluorinated water get a free 25% reduction in cavities without active involvement.

What would it take to see a similar impact from sugar reduction? I can pretty much guarantee it won't be voluntary! I assume you're going to need to start by making Coke illegal, stop subsidizing corn syrup, ban most fast food and restaurant chains, and retool many of our factories.

But that sounds like political suicide, and we haven't even attempted it despite the growing mountain of evidence to the harms of sugar.

Yes indeed I can choose to avoid it at the individual level. Then I at least don’t want to be forced toxic water upon me.

There are many oral health problems that flouride does not solve.

"gets no say in how it’s written" ... well this is the same case for member countries (they also have only few things to say), and was one of the reasons for Brexit.

Pre-Brexit Britain was the driver for big chunks of EU legislation like the financial services framework.

Obviously you don’t get to write every law to your liking, but Britain certainly wasn’t lacking in influence. They mostly did a good job of picking their battles, but couldn’t make that case to their own voters (many of whom just didn’t care about things like Britain’s finance leadership, of course).

err, no, that's just the usual nonsense people who both don't like the EU and also don't understand it

well as you name the rail infrastructure: it was sold out and left to despair since the 1970s. This was clearly lobbying from the automotive industry. Similarly in the USA, tramlines where teared down in many cities.

No, SAP is German software. And there are many other software companies in Germany, albeit with much less publicity.

Half of German software is SAP-infected due to that fact that if you are targeting German companies you have to interface with SAP sooner or later, and every option I've encountered to do that in the past was awful.

You don't need soy or corn if you have cows on grass instead: much less carbon dioxide and more nutritious.

The cows also “stack shit up”, building a thick layer of soil: “carbon sequestration”.

All in all, cows are around zero emissions when held outside and fed grass only.

In Western Europe at least, cows are kept in pastures, which are permanently dedicated to that use and not used as fields to grow crops. All in all, cows are probably only low carbon in premodern rural contexts in West Africa and Asia for instance.
