How climate change threatens coffee production | DW Documentary

There’s some great documentaries about stenophylla, resdiscovering a forgotten strain of coffee that’s resistant to heat.

Coffee and climate change: rediscovering stenophylla

In the video Dr Aaron Davis describes coffee as the “canary in the coalmine, as the litmus for climate change, particularly for woody crops like coffee, cocoa, tea, wine. Crops that have to stay in the ground a long time. And what we’re seeing is that the issues facing coffee also affect many other woody perennial crops”

We’ll probably see some issues with stonefruit too:

A couple of years ago, no stone fruits grew in New England. Peach, nectarine, plum, and apricot trees in the region had been fooled into flowering in February because of record warm weather. When winter resumed for another few weeks, the buds died, ruining the harvest.

I loled

For me the selling point is the small screen for travel and portability. I can always use a monitor or my desktop. Maybe they’ll make a 16in option like FrameWork for people like you?

I just want the split spacebar and I’d be happy with the framework

Maybe they hired the same designer shrugs

I’m most excited for the split spacebar and the customizable key layout.

However they’ve made it really annoying to swap out the keycaps, due to the wonky sizes. MNT calls them “1u” in documentation but the cake is a lie.

Custom MBK Glows keycaps by FKcaps

• Circle key - 1.5U
• Backspace - 1.5U
• Tab - 1.5U
• Right CTRL - 1.75u
• Enter - 1.75u
• Shift x2 - 1.25u
• Hyper/Function - 1.25u
• Super - 1.5u
• Right ALT - 1.5u
• Left Space - 1.5u
• Middle Space - 2u
• Right Space - 1.5u
• Right Arrow - 1.5u

I really wish they stuck to just 2-3 sizes, 1u, 1.5u, and 2u instead of all these inbetween sizes 1.25u, 1.75u. It really makes changing out the keycaps challenging, you pretty much have to get keys custom printed if you want the led backlight to shine through, or just use blank keys or lasered keys if you don’t mind the lack of backlight.

The good news is it is all open-firmware and hardware, so you could just make your own custom keyboard and stick it in the case.

I had the XDA version of those keycaps but they started wearing through after a year of use. The dark blue and teal keycaps are just a thin layer of ink on mine, so they started wearing out and revealing the white plastic underneath.

As a new linux user I was overwhelmed by plasma and all the choices. I much prefer an OS and DE that feels like it isn’t there and gets out of my way. It was all a bit too distracting, so I went back to Gnome like DEs (Cinnamon and now Cosmic).

Something like your suggestion, with basic settings first and then a deeper layer or toggle for advanced settings would have kept me on the platform longer.
