It has a negative magnification: it’s a fisheye lens.

Don’t use proprietary drivers and don’t install amdvlk or whatever it’s called, just use mesa if the Steam install asks you to choose.

The open source drivers for AMD have great performance, they power the Steam Deck and have great compatibility.

And even then, they often hit the wrong city

Navigating at night using nothing but maps, compass, altitude and speed indicator is pretty difficult. Especially when the hostile territory you are flying over is forcing everyone to keep their curtains closed and minimize light leaks.

I know what they mean, but: I run an immutable Linux distro on my phone that is maintained by Google. I’m sure more than 0.01% of Europe does the same.

I guess “FLOSS phone” doesn’t have the same ring to it as “Linux phone”

NS made a loss

I am annoyed how this concept is so normalised that no one wonders anymore.

Should public rail be self-sufficient or is it a public good?

And how much was the loss of highways this year, compared to rail?

Never mind that highways encourage modes of transport that kill more people, both directly and indirectly.

But it is unlikely that UK supermarkets would follow in Carrefour’s footsteps, according to retail expert Ged Futter, because the strategy risks “poisoning” relationships between retailers and food firms. “This is a very blunt way of of trying to compete,” he said. “To do that with your manufacturers, it won’t help.”

One of the many reasons why consumer and worker’s rights are doomed in the Anglo-Saxon world: standing up for them is “rude”

This sounds nice for someone in a developed country who has all they need, and is only satisfying their wants. But for most of the world, economic development is a necessity and a lifesaver. Child mortality is reduced, life expectancy and education level increased, child labor decreased, as a country’s economy grows. This is not a fringe right-wing idea. This is the very real effect of economic growth in developing countries, i.e. most of the world.

Degrowthers often seem to forget that applying their ideas will literally kill millions in developing countries, by preventing the economic developments that would have saved them.

FWIW, I am not a fan of unbridled capitalism either but think that it is important to consider science in important matters like this and not just go with gut feeling. That applies to both fascism and degrowth.
