  • What headsets are linux gamers using?

    Jump

  • It's their first one and so far I'm quite happy with it! The dock is especially nice and one of the main selling points to me from a convenience perspective and it works great. I'm lazier than ever XD

  • I got a pair of Fractal Scapes. The software to modify them is just a website so it's easy to EQ them on Linux (I run bazzite). The EQ profiles are also saved locally so once it's set you never have to look at the website again. The works dick worked straight away and volume control+ play/pause work massively on Linux which is great

  • What launcher should I replace Nova with?

  • Which model Fairphone is it?

  • Fairphone sales jump 83% as the memory crunch makes longevity look better than ever.

    Jump

  • I also wish they would do a flagship but idk if they are at a size to develop and support 2 new phones.

    I do think if they put flagship processors their phones that they would be more likely to last a long time and better fit with their selling point. But on the flip side, it then would (probably) be so expensive most people just couldn't afford it. That being said, I'm happy with the FP6 so far. Feels like the snappiest phone I've ever owned even though I had an S20 FE previously which, on paper, has similar performance in benchmarks.

    Hopefully one day they either release proper flagships or they make processors upgradable (probably even harder task tbh)

  • European Parliament freezes Mercosur deal referring it to EU Court of Justice

    Jump

  • Thank you for repeating your question.

    They are obviously not happy. Perhaps you could outline their perspective so we can have a discussion

  • Chill bruv... Can we not have a civil discussion? I'd be happy to change my mind.

    Food being sold in the EU still have to meet EU food health and safety standards. Regardless of where it comes from this is legally the case. How these things are verified/policed is a different question and idk the situation on that. If enforcement is not good, that issue would still be there even without the bill. The bill probably won't increase imports much so these policing problems likely wont grow.

    Their stuff is cheaper for 2 reasons. The costs of running their farms is cheaper due to cheap labour with fewer workers rights. Conversely, cost of running farms in the EU is more expensive due to higher salaries, workers rights, and that other inputs are more expensive than elsewhere (I understand that fertiliser is quite expensive here for example). This is what tariffs protected against before and, like I said before, the deal only allows for a small proportion of those imports to not be tariffed. I think it will only be a small impact to farmers though, obviously, not 0 impact.

    My point is that this deal likely won't increase exports from there to the EU (in most categories). So this notion that the continent will be overrun by cheap, unsafe food doesn't stand up when you see how little extra south American agro exports there will likely be imported

  • I mean, obviously they don't want competition... That's fair enough but they aren't the only people that live in the EU. They are already subsidised and there are provisions for more subsidies if needed.

    If the deal improves trade and grows the EU economy, we can afford to subsidise them more in future when needed

  • There are many quotas on agricultural products from south America to the point where major South American agro exports can only supply 1-10% of total current EU consumption tariff free. I believe honey was highest around 10% of total EU demand with most being around 1-3% such as for beef. For most agro products, South America exports more stuff to Europe than the tariffs would cover

    To mee, it seems these quotes probably mean there will be little change in agro exports from South America since the tariff on those items have only been slightly relieved. We should definitely protect EU farmers but we shouldn't hold up the rest of the economy for them.

  • At least there is one thing almost everyone can agree on (there are still idiots out there but can't do much about them)

  • Businesses literally complain EU regulations and standards on workers rights (broadly) are "too high" and they can't make all the money possible...

  • Ok, you cooked with this one 👌

  • What YouTube channel to you has degraded in time?

    Jump

  • I don't know anything about this pressure campaign you mentioned but do they still work with them? It's not like Kurzgesagt have no say over what the Gates Foundation does. If they still work together then that's not great but the Gates Foundation has also done lots of good stuff too, no? Idk what outweighs what but I think there are organisations that are far worse that we should be concerned about.

  • I mean, Linus's video about a fire truck toy was a gag and that was ages ago. The gags have always been big parts of the videos.

    If you want pure information and performance metrics, ltt isn't the place to go for sure. But not every video needs to be dense on plots and performance metrics. They didn't even start out doing that, they transitioned to that from doing unboxings. He's said himself they aren't doing that on the main channel anymore cause others have carved that niche for themselves.

    They definitely do more shovelware content these days but unfortunately it does seem to be what big creators do to stay relevant

  • Almost the first half of the video is them saying we haven't been meeting any climate change targets.

    I don't think it's copium to highlight the good things that have been changing like the fact wind and solar are straight up the cheapest energy sources. If there was no good news they wouldn't have made the video

  • Tbh, they always had the gags in their videos. I think the do make some really informative and interesting content. Especially their tours of factories or other industrial equipment.

    Where they have irked me is with their reaction style videos or their 'top things to buy for whatever holiday'. Whilst they can be entertaining, it is low effort content that often isn't that great. I wish they didn't do them and did more reviews rather than just doing unbox+ on short circuit

  • What video do they deny climat change in? If anything, I find their videos explain the concepts of how it's happening and what it will result it (bad shit) super well.

    Imo, I respect them cause they are transparent with the comunity. Of they make a mistake, they will reupload a video of required. Few other channels (especially as big as them) would do that
