  • I think I tried emudeck and it wouldn’t install. But that wasn’t their issue (turned out to be a regression upstream).

    I think I had stuttering sound in audio too. But that’s via HDMI.

    Spdif no issue

    I also used another gaming distro though so might be confusing them

    They should absolutely keep developing it. It will only get better, and I’m a unique case because I’ve been using Linux probably since 1998 or so.

    But I feel they make things a bit more custom, and it will only get better. It has a lot of potential, and is probably the best option already for many people




  • There’s a lot of problems with nuclear

    1. We know it’s expensive, and it takes so long to build that if that’s the only plan, it makes no sense not to install solar. So ultimately my the time it is built, it will be even less economical

    2. Same problems as coal. You can’t simply turn it on. It can take hours. That’s part of the reason for recent blackout in Vic (turbines need to sync up same speed and phase as the grid or they shit themselves, and that can take hours). Solar/batteries take 100ms and will always get the contract. Cheaper too…

    3. It’s still centralized so power in rural areas will still be crap. If you put batteries and solar in those areas though and treat them as microgrids, everyone will have more reliable power. They can stop whining about their blackouts

    4. The cost of solar and batteries right now is irrelevant. In 15 years by the time this plant is built, based on the current price drops, i think I calculated that batteries and solar are 66% - 90% cheaper. It would be stupid to think this technology doesn’t drop in cost, and improve in efficiency.

    5. We have a lot of space here in Australia for solar. So, energy density doesn’t matter like many countries.

    Instead of wasting all this gd money on nuclear, they should be using it to build manufacturing factories for lithium batteries and solar.

    Nuclear doesn’t solve any real issues here in Australia.




  • Yeah. Biden said after “it’s hard to win a debate against a liar”.

    If you’ve ever argued with someone on Facebook, it’s the same. Because it doesn’t matter what you say, they’ll simply claim you are lying and it’s easy to make up bullshit. Coming up with facts, supporting them and recalling your policies is a lot harder.

    Whereas, Trump doesn’t need to worry about his policies. He just makes them up and throws in racism.

    Trump wanted everyone to know he is a racism piece of shit. If anything, that was his only policy . I’ve never seen someone be so racist

    What’s weird is that you hear Biden on different mics soon after, he sounded fine, so I think the mics may have needed adjusting too. But maybe the rules dictated both levels were the same or something



  • I disagree… The problem actually is that Wayland is optional, and still is.

    So everyone was dragging their heels (and some still are). If all the major distro’s set a cut off date, then things would speed up. The biggest reason for delay was Nvidia imho, so now that they’re sorted, it seems things are falling into place faster.

    X11 still hasn’t solved any of their real issues, and its still a security nightmare (which can’t be fixed). Furthermore, most of the developers have moved off it.

    What exactly do you like about X11?
