I'd like to fix climate change instead?

Honestly I think walking in with a friendly way to explain climate science to a layperson is a bad strategy with politicians. They should come with full technical details and use precise scientific terms. Expect politicians to learn that shit if they want to argue.

Seen this in olive oil prices. It's already happening.

Idiots don't realise that hurricanes are controlled from Australia, from pine gap.

I keep mine in an ever growing wishlist, which I never get back to, but it stops me from feeling like I forgot anything.

I've given up. I'm going to just keep adding to wishlist and nibble on a new one every now and then.

To pierce the veil a bit, yes, the meme is that somehow the podcast is amazing and insightful, even though in reality it's pretty meh.

No, it's another company, but I know nothing about them.

Loved her quantum mechanics episode. Mostly went over my head but very interesting.

This is fine. I don't mind a diversity of opinion here. I agree that Proton is a stop-gap solution, and that most older games are going to need it, and newer AAA games are not going to support Linux all of a sudden.

However, I do think that we should continue to encourage developers to create native builds when they can. Indie devs tend to do this and it's a pretty great experience. Not only that, it often enables playing on unusual devices such as SBCs. For example, UFO 50 was made in Gamemaker, which offers native Linux builds, and it's already on Portmaster. You basically can't do that with Proton.

My problem is calling people who want Linux native games misguided or wrong. I really don't think that's helpful.

 

Whenever I feel sad I just think the words "Rozelle Interchange" and my life gets a little bit better...

 

OK so I came up with a slightly crazy idea. Do you know how cars are emblazoned with logos and emblems? Like the brand name (Toyota), the car name (Kluger), engine and other doodads (V6 etc etc). What if we made like jokey versions of these to replace on our cars? Like make a Toyota logo but it looks a bit more like a penis.

Instead of car doodads we just make up acronyms with no explanation (AR-X, BFI, MIG-TL). We could also have unfortunate acronyms with explanatory text below it, like "AIDS" and then in smaller text it would say "Advanced Infra-red Drive System".

If enough people do it to their cars then it will show that we don't respect them.

 

So, where do I download it from?
