do people really use it in every day speech?
Probably not, but it's a common term in the industry, at least in Australia.

I mostly agree but I think we could maintain a lifestyle that is near Western levels, but done more efficiently. It wouldn't be the same lifestyle, but it would be a good one.
I.e.
- dense, walkable neighbourhoods with mixed-use zoning
- trains, trams and electric buses instead of cars
- any job that can be done from home should be mandatory to do from home
- minimal to no meat consumption, especially emissions intensive meat like beef
- economic incentives and disincentives to minimise energy consumption and waste
- circular economies that re-use and recycle most things
- 100% renewable energy production (and eventually, green manufacturing).
Although even with that, it would be an easier job if there is some level of population decline, but I don't think any encouragement is needed (societies where women are highly educated tend to have declining birth rates).

Use the desktop client or jellyfin-mpv-shim and you'll get HEVC support and superior image quality.

They might be concerned about future competition with a looming potential breakup of the company by the US DOJ (not that it would necessarily weaken Android itself but it seems plausible). But it could also just be because one of the devs wanted to do it, which is pretty typical with Google (for better and for worse).

It's probably just something that one of the AOSP devs wanted (to scratch an itch and all of that). It might also mean they won't have a GUI app to manage the VM initially and you'll just use the new Terminal.

I don't have any numbers, but I suspect that there are more openly religious people in government compared to the general population. Which could simply be due to the average age of politicians being older.
And SA is known to be a pretty religious place historically compared to the rest of Australia.

Linux currently doesn't have a concept of "exclusive fullscreen" in the way that Windows does. A new wayland protocol can probably resolve this, although I'm not sure if any work has been done for that yet.
You could do it manually though most likely by having a script check if the current window is fullscreen (which you can do with sway/wlroots easily at least) and then apply the change. But there would be some false positives where you might not want the behaviour (like a video player), although if you're watching high resolution/high framerate content it would be useful.

It depends on the GPU I suspect. The 6XXX series doesn't appear to have that issue, at least not in a significant way. But yeah, the 7XXX series having power consumption issues isn't too surprising.
As for the quote, the "more aggressive ramping" is about its behaviour under load, which you probably do want if you're playing games.
You can revert the change in the same way as you can make the change now, with a udev rule. And you can change it on the fly with a script if needed.
Udev rule:
KERNEL=="card0", SUBSYSTEM=="drm", DRIVERS=="amdgpu", ATTR{device/power_dpm_force_performance_level}="manual", ATTR{device/pp_power_profile_mode}="0"
(you might be able to leave the power_dpm_force_performance_level
part unset)
You can also try the compute (5) or VR (4) modes which have slightly different behaviour (I use the compute mode on my systems even though they are mostly for gaming).
I believe some of the third party GPU control utilities can also do this, but I don't personally use them.
Nice to see this will be finally fixed. You have to make a udev rule to work around this at the moment.

I think they probably do care, but they just haven't got around to strong-arming them yet. There's still more emulator devs to harass after all.

Well he outright hates black people, so extending that to immigrants wouldn't be surprising.

The Liberal frontbencher Ben Hood, who introduced the bill, says the woman’s right to end a pregnancy is kept because the pregnancy ends when the baby is born. “The innovation of this bill is that it allows a mother to end her pregnancy throughout all nine months and indeed, right up to birth,” he says.
That's some mental gymnastics to come up with that logic. And unsurprisingly, from the supposed "moderate" branch of the Coalition.

Also, does he mean moving to optional preferential or going to a FPTP system? Frankly, fuck both ideas but FPTP would be the worst.

The road isn't a better option but issues with grass in residential areas:
- Tree roots and other trip hazards
- People parking their 5 giant SUVs and pickup trucks on them (this can happen on sidewalks too, but it's often worse)
- Dog shit that is less visible
- Road design is usually more hostile when there aren't sidewalks since they don't even consider the existence of pedestrians
- Sometimes it's not grass so much as mud, particularly when flooding has occurred recently (which has gotten more common as climate change has advanced).
- Running on a sidewalk (or road) is better for reducing injury despite grass feeling softer (since it's more uneven).
And on the larger sidewalks you can ride bikes on them relatively safely.

Do you have any recommendations for a Perplexity.ai type setup? It's one of the few recent innovations I've found useful. I've heard of Perplexica and a few others, but not sure what is the best approach.
