It’s at least partly eugenics, which is a common undercurrent in the anti-vaccine movement. Remove healthcare altogether and only the “strongest” will survive.

I’m almost at the point where all of my connections are IPv6, but still hampered by my mobile provider (ironically, since IPv6 was generally adopted earlier on mobile in many countries).

Seems like Horizon has an iffy future as well. Ah well, they are mostly pretty similar and getting repetitive.

And asbestos, which Trump has publicly claimed is not dangerous.

Yes, although the approach that was fixed only applies to Hyprland and some other wlroots compositors. You can use the virtual edid approach on other systems, but it may not be supported on Nvidia GPUs. You can also use it as a simple supersampling method, such as rendering at 1600p to a Steam Deck, for example.

Clean living in his view just means focusing on “natural” things. Which means swimming and drinking shit water is safe, but anything “artificial” is dangerous. So he’s certainly not going to care about pathogens in the food supply, because he doesn’t believe they are dangerous.

It’s so LFC works properly. If there isn’t a large range to work with, you can end up with gaps where VRR doesn’t work, causing stuttering or tearing. LFC is needed in general because you want VRR to still work when FPS drops below the minimum frame rate. And while it’s more of an issue with OLED displays there can be negative side effects such as flickering if the display minimum refresh rate is set too low.

The 120Hz refresh rate doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense if frames can’t even transition at a rate that keeps up with it.

The main use is for VRR, with bigger ranges making it more usable (and input latency should improve, but few games are going to run at 120fps). However, it seems like the feature is mostly broken in retail games, with it only really working in that paid tie-in game.

The original impetus to do these comparisons was that there were reports of significant motion blur on the Switch 2, so comparing it was the whole point.

And indeed, it’s even worse than the original LCD Switch display.

These are quirky in terms of plot but not so much in terms of gameplay (at least your modern examples). That’s fine to a point but I’d like to see a bit more variety.

I thought it was clear from context I was talking about X.

Most of those are lesser evils compared to X, and that’s probably the best you can hope for. And Bluesky is the obvious alternative lesser evil choice if you want a like for like replacement and aren’t open to Mastodon.

If you’re technically inclined, self-host navidrome or jellyfin.

If you just want music and don’t care about the streaming part, bandcamp (although it does have some basic streaming I believe.

If you want streaming and aren’t technically inclined, Tidal.

I get where you’re coming from, but it’s not like there aren’t multiple obvious alternatives (and not just on the fediverse). And someone being clued in enough to boycott Spotify should have no trouble finding those alternatives. Additionally, the platform being owned by an outright Nazi should give even the most out of touch people pause.

But agreed that people could stand to be a bit more tactful about it and not immediately go on the attack.

Not to mention giving 100s of millions of dollars to fund Joe Rogan and his extreme right-wing propaganda.

Annual prices are slightly cheaper, but they’ve been gradually squeezing that too. You can of course pause the months you don’t want, but it’s a somewhat obtuse process.

I’ve just never personally voted using RCV on a ballot that requires you to rank that many candidates for a valid ballot. That seems unnecessary.

Several implementations of it in Australia are full preferential, and require ranking all candidates (and there’s a kind of hybrid optional implementation in the federal senate where there is a minimum but you can rank as many as you want). The NYC one is still optional preferential actually, which is in my view a bad system because people get tricked into “just voting 1” and their vote consequently has less power to influence the result.
