“we just grind that shit up till it’s microscopic and inject it straight into your balls. Bingo Bango! No more plastic waste…o”

I think it’s a combination of:

• Voters who believe climate change is a hoax so trying to claim victory here might not give returns, so it’s better to do it quietly
• Voters who believe climate change is real are going to be looking at this as not enough action given what the IPCC is saying

So this spate of legislation is tepid for both sides, so it doesn’t really “make” news. As far as Fox & other right wing media, going into the detail of climate change just hurts their message because no one can look at detail and not immediately realise that there’s “something to this climate change mumbo jumbo”, so covering this is actually toxic for them. They are better off sticking to the top-level “it’s a hoax they want to kill your babies” or whatever.

In that case Steam flatpak isn’t really what you want. You probably want to use Bottles, which creates a flatpak-like sandbox. This is not a guarantee or anything, but does give you some protection (at least, better than running it on Windows I guess).

If you don’t use steam because it’s a shady source, I guess Bottles would be your go-to. I think parent is talking about if you bought a game off steam.

The news represents the views of the powerful. We won’t get on the news, except as villains. The only hope we have is to exist loudly together so people know we’re around. They can talk to us directly. That’s what marches are about. That’s why you hold lots of them.

Remember there is an actual intelligent force you are against, so they are working on making your effective tactics ineffective. In that case, how do you know if a tactic “works”?

A: you try a bunch of stuff AKA a diversity of tactics.

The prime minister has apparently been pushing to get him out, and has apparently been mentioning him at every meeting with the US. It is what it is.

Writers give publishers legitimacy. Publishers will regularly pull the writers out to trot out some “copyright is important” line.

Animal shelter + kitten meat. And, not or…

Modern day book burning. Done by the writers this time.

I love Lemmy. I often come in here thinking about the downsides of an article and it’s usually the top voted comment. Contrast with the… other… site… where the top comment is probably racist posted by a bot.

I wonder how they deal with flash storage degradation.

EDIT: Apparently the Switch uses something called XtraROM. See This for more info.

Mpd.

English speaking it’s a solid 5% now, so I’d say it’s one in twenty.

I was having a chat with someone about how they are more “Star trek future rather than Solarpunk future”, and I found something off about it but didn’t really think about it, but it’s this. It’s the idea that the key conceit of Star Trek being they are exploring for the hell of it can’t really be true, and that exploration in itself is to try and get some dividend off it. Any “Star Trek future” which is not colonial is necessarily a Solarpunk future first.

OK she didn’t say it out loud, but there’s a pretty strong link between what she’s talking about (homeostatic awakening) and what Solarpunk is.

Yeah same. I would much prefer they mainline the code as opposed to “supporting” it themselves.

I do agree that Solarpunk as a genre is extremely nascent. There’s barely anything which could really constitute Solarpunk, much less something cohesive.

cuckoo?

Toll roads aren’t bad, it’s all in the details. The problem is that the government is often “captured” and therefore has no incentive to have a fair contract, so they’ll add clauses like

• If the company loses money because the government does something, the government will pay them. This often prevents the government from reducing or removing the toll road / other privately owned resource.
• The government can’t “compete” with the toll road, either with another road or (sometimes) through public transport.
• The government will often, as a form of pork-barrelling, offer people reimbursements for the toll road usage, thereby funneling tax payer money into the private company.
• Toll roads are tax deductible.

Ideally, toll roads encourage people to take the train.
