I have been using KDE via Kubuntu for about 2 years now, other distros with Gnome before that. Based upon the name (KDE Advanced Text Editor, K.A.T.E.) I always thought of Kate as an alternative to Notepad++ or something like that. Like a highend note-taking app.

I recently started using Kate for managing my Docker-Compose yaml files on my homelab, using the Git functionality to sync to my repos and doing some web development. It's basically an alternative to VSCode or Codium.

Thanks to the devs who work on Kate . If you don't hear it enough we appreciate you!

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials this week reported that the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at a detention facility in El Paso was the result of the staff’s “spontaneous use of force” to “prevent him from harming himself.” Officials quietly updated the cause of death after previously declaring last month that the man died of “medical distress.”

Those videos also show police intervention, including a man now identified as police chief Scott McElree entering the crowd, grabbing and shoving a student and placing another student in a chokehold.

He then got beat up by a bunch of girls in response to his attack. He was plainclothes at the time of the attack, so they had no idea whether this was just some random murderer trying to kill one of them.

Study.

Adolescents who use cannabis could face a significantly higher risk of developing serious psychiatric disorders by young adulthood, according to a large new study published today in JAMA Health Forum. The longitudinal study followed 463,396 adolescents ages 13 to 17 through age 26 and found that past-year cannabis use during adolescence was associated with a significantly higher risk of incident psychotic (doubled), bipolar (doubled), depressive and anxiety disorders.

The study analyzed electronic health record data from routine pediatric visits between 2016 and 2023. Cannabis use preceded psychiatric diagnoses by an average of 1.7 to 2.3 years. The study’s longitudinal design strengthens evidence that adolescent cannabis exposure is a potential risk factor for developing mental illness.

Unlike many prior studies, the research examined any self-reported past-year cannabis use, with universal screening of teens during standard pediatric care, rather than focusing only on heavy use or cannabis use disorder.

The study also found that cannabis use was more common among adolescents enrolled in Medicaid and those living in more socioeconomically deprived neighborhoods, raising concerns that expanding cannabis commercialization could exacerbate existing mental health disparities.

Stupid question, but I thought you click the sidebar, and the three options were "join/leave, post, and block".

But now, the ONE time I want to block a community, I don't see the option. So I go to another community, just to see if it looks different. It doesn't.

The communities now only have join/leave, and post. No block.

Edit: Problem solved for me. Should I leave this post up for any future people who ask this? Or should I delete it so future other people don't try to answer a solved question?

I made some dill pickles earlier today. Here they are before the water bath.

I usually make quick fridge pickles because I like their texture and mild pickle flavor. I decided to try normal canned pickles this time. Hopefully they stay crisp and mild.
