  • Did you really just mix a fraction and a percentage in the same statistic? You monster.

  • Unfortunately their bias is being served by what appear to be very credible accusations of warcrimes by British special forces.

  • No, this was an illegal, unofficial policy enacted by the special forces themselves and covered up by their superiors. The reason that we're hearing about it now is because of a BBC investigative report which has led to an official inquiry.

  • Steam Deck lead reveals Valve is funding ARM compatibility of Windows games “to expand PC gaming” and release “ultraportables” in the future

    Jump

  • Linux market share is still very small, so it makes perfect sense that devs make their games for Windows: they get Linux compatibility for free. Developing a native Linux build requires extra investment for next to no return. There are lots of bad Linux ports that run much worse than the Windows build running through Proton.

    Larian released a Steam Deck optimised build of Baldur's Gate 3, but only because one of their devs really wanted to make it happen and most companies don't work like Larian.

    If Windows market share was <30% then maybe the economic incentives would be the other way around, but there would need to be a project like Proton that lets Linux games work on Windows.

  • I'm a little confused by you saying bike helmets should be optional, then immediately pasting a snippet about the benefits of a mandatory helmet law for car users. Cycling is good for you; caving your head in on a post box isn't. People should be free to make that choice for themselves, helmets in cars is an entirely separate issue.

  • There are significantly more cars on the road than bikes, so it makes perfect sense that people who sustain injuries in traffic accidents are more likely to be in a car. The latest UK stats show that 54% of road casualties were car occupants compared to 12% for cyclists.

    In order to make a proper comparison we would need to compare the accident rate to the total number of journeys for both cars and bikes. These stats from 2024 show that cyclists made up only 2% of trips whereas Cars in the same period made 59% of trips.

    Which is why it is important for cyclists in particular to wear helmets: they are significantly more likely to need them.

  • KDE Plasma sets date to dump X11 as Wayland push accelerates

    Jump

  • I don't think Kubuntu 24.04 had Plasma 6 because it was an LTS release. In Plasma 6.3 they completely reworked the settings page for graphics tablets, and they've also changed how fractional scaling works so it should be less blurry (if that was what was making it blurry for you before).

  • Self-hosted TinyPNG alternative with Docker (imgcompress

    Jump

  • This may just be a usecase thing, but what is the advantage of this over imagemagick? I can already magick photo1.jpg -resize 50% photo1.png and when the process ends it's not constantly using resources in a webserver.

  • Oxford just implemented congestion pricing. Drivers must pay £5 to enter the city. The money is used to subsidize public transit. Traffic is down and air quality is improving.

    Jump

  • That's right, this article is about cars becoming less common in Oxford (fewer cars = better)

  • I also bought a lifetime Plex pass a few years ago, but I've migrated to Jellyfin because Plex is no longer a trustworthy project.

  • When you turn it on it boots to a controller friendly UI that shows you all your steam games. No setup, no hunting for drivers, no bloat.

    ‘R-tarded’ is a slur, and I’m sick of otherwise “liberal” people going along with the right’s move to renormalize it

  • Once upon a time it was the other word (it is a technical word meaning: delayed). Scientists and Doctors used it as the official term for mental development disorders, which is why people started using it as an insult.

    Pick a different word and watch the same thing happen again.
