  • We are waiting...

    Jump

  • It was the only controller I could ever play first person games with!

    Track-ball mode on the right TouchPad is just... chefs-kiss

    I love my steam deck but I'm extremely disappointed by the TouchPads compared to the steam controller

  • Why do you use the distro you use?

    Jump

  • I use opensuse (tumbleweed and slowroll) because I just wanted to try it out a few years back and it mostly just works.

    If I were to reinstall today, I'd probably use fedora again, since it's much easier to use things like Waydroid.

  • Remember when she fucked up the economy

    Jump

  • She (similar to Reagan in the US) enacted a massive shift in government/society from a more social-democratic focus to a more (economocally) liberal one. Her big goals were to privatize and financialize as much as possible.

    This ended up leading to (as it always does) massive increases in inequality, with particularly rural/industrial regions suffering heavily while the services/financial sector in London boomed.

    So she is EXTREMELY polarizing. Many conservatives or big-business types worship her, while for many/most others she's seen as the worst thing to happen to the UK.

  • What do you have a low tolerance for?

    Jump

  • Cars in cities.

    You don't realize how insane they are until you spend time somewhere without them.

  • Oxford Professor: Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities

    Jump

  • Well, we're comparing them with (electric) cars here, which are much more expensive.

  • Elon Musk says he has no clue why people hate his guts

    Jump

  • The value of the stock (which is outrageously overvalued) is solely down to musk's personality cult. So now that it's been announced that he should be "leaving government and going back to his companies" it led to a stock jump, since his presence is the only reason that the stock is worth a lot in the first place.

    The issue is that Musk often sounds convincing when he talks about things you don't really know much about, and there are a LOT of investors who have a lot of money but don't really know much about anything.

  • I'm not sure if it's a big reason, but one thing I noticed when living in the UK is that it seemed to be much easier for local landowners to block things from being built compared to other countries I've lived in.

    I feel like the Thames path through London was kind of representative of that. I feel like anywhere else it would be a normal walking path along the river, but instead it has big gaps, sections that are private, or even some which are closed certain days.

    Just the fact that they wanted to make HS2 go UNDERGROUND through large parts of the countryside was a wild idea.

  • Horses ARE Forever

    Jump

  • The physical design was somewhat similar but if you look at old footage from cities you'll see that walking on the street was completely normal.

    There didn't yet exist this idea that we have to leave 80% of the street exclusively for cars.

  • Poland pushes for EU to scrap daylight saving time

    Jump

  • I'm well aware, but I prefer more light in the afternoon than in the early morning.

    Having the middle of the day at 1 PM is nicer year-round

  • YSK that in the US, denaturalization, the process of revoking a person's citizenship, does not require proof "Beyond reasonable doubt"

    Jump

  • I'm genuinely confused how you think that these two examples of internal uprisings are at all connected to someone saying effectively "don't count on international law to mean anything since there isn't any body to enforce it"

  • A map of European supermarkets

    Jump

  • Huh, Süd was always my favorite

    I did visit a Nord once and it was surprisingly unpleasant

  • Right to roam: The European freedom that’s illegal in the USA

    Jump

  • I guess you visited vienna?

  • Why is a two-party system considered democratic?

    Jump

  • Germany is actually trending the other way. Modern Parlaments have more parties than they did in the past.

  • Multilingual people all must have experienced YouTube's f**kery with auto translation. Still no workaround?

    Jump

  • In general, US-based sites/companies are usually terrible with supporting multi-lingualism. It's not really surprising I guess considering how monolingual most of the country/region is.

    For years google maps has annoyed me, since I just wanted a good way to have German and English reviews not be translated, since both are common in my city and I speak both languages.

    Somehow it randomly works sometimes and then suddenly will start translating them again. It's very inconsistent.

  • Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?

    Jump

  • I visited family/friends in the US recently (i've lived in europe for many years).

    Everyone is super upset about the current state of things, angry at Trump etc.

    However, they are also generally just convinced they need to wait out these four years and then everything can return to normal.

  • Must visit parks outside the USA?

    Jump

  • Just (like most places in Croatia) make sure not to go during peak season!

  • Donald Trump says 'nasty' Canada 'meant to be 51st state'

    Jump

  • I think he's just obsessed with controlling the arctic, since it's going to be ice-free soon (and thus incredibly important for global shipping)

    It's why his 3 main "targets" are Canada, Greenland, and Panama (for the canal)

  • EU OS: A Fedora-based distro 'for the public sector'

    Jump

  • Yeah I have used opensuse for the past couple years (still do!) but while there is plenty to like, if I were to do a reinstall I would likely move back to Fedora.

    Then again, I basically never use YaST, which I suppose is one of the main song points.

  • It's literally not any different. Starlink is just a less-reliable broadband internet connection, it has nothing to do with WiFi
