The international study, published in Science, traces termite evolution back to ordinary cockroaches – including the ancestors of modern ’domestic’ cockroaches – that began feeding on dead wood. This dietary shift triggered a cascade of genetic and social changes that eventually produced termites and their highly organised colonies.
The study was an international collaboration with researchers from China, Denmark, and Colombia.
“Termites evolved from cockroach ancestors that started living inside and eating wood,” said Professor Nathan Lo from the University of Sydney’s School of Life and Environmental Sciences, a senior author on the paper. “Our study shows how their DNA changed first as they specialised on this poor-quality diet and then changed again as they became social insects.”

4·9 days agoyou should do things [their way] and if you don’t go all in on that then you get chastised.
As is tradition.
Sure it is now, but it was not always. Gentoo didnt just spring forth from the aether full-grown.
pre-alpha
The period of pre-0.1 that I reference above, ended in 2002 with the release of 0.1 Alpha. This is back when the idea of adding a binary installer was controversial in the gentoo community. That was 24 years ago, in case you are following along. So going on about the current state of Gentoo is not super relevant. I am glad it is better, but I am old enough to remember when it was a pretty gnarly ball of yarn and that is what I mentioned.
This reminds me of something I might have said of pre-alpha Gentoo days.

Landlock is a Linux API that lets applications explicitly declare which resources they are allowed to access. Its philosophy is similar to OpenBSD’s unveil() and (less so) pledge(): programs can make a contract with the kernel stating, “I only need these files or resources — deny me everything else if I’m compromised.”

oh man I used to support a product that ran on bundled tomcat. Fuck. That. Shit.

The XDG Base Directory Specification is based on the following concepts:
There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific data files should be written. This directory is defined by the environment variable $XDG_DATA_HOME.
There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific configuration files should be written. This directory is defined by the environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific state data should be written. This directory is defined by the environment variable $XDG_STATE_HOME.
There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific executable files may be written.
There is a set of preference ordered base directories relative to which data files should be searched. This set of directories is defined by the environment variable $XDG_DATA_DIRS.
There is a set of preference ordered base directories relative to which configuration files should be searched. This set of directories is defined by the environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS.
There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific non-essential (cached) data should be written. This directory is defined by the environment variable $XDG_CACHE_HOME.
There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific runtime files and other file objects should be placed. This directory is defined by the environment variable $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.
I assume because ASCII has a much smaller character set than unicode. ASCII fits in 7 bits, vs 21 bits for unicode.
Bearing this in mind, you should know that sauces and flavorings are treated differently by the US FDA and allowed much higher amounts of restricted additives. Putatively this is because they are not supposed to be consumed in large amounts. In reality they are adding some pretty gross and nasty stuff.
