Yeah, I fear that in Star Trek we would be the Mirror Universe.

There are more reasons, for example that all systems that use online or digital voting can be easily manipulated and lack the possibility to be monitored or validated by independent 3rd parties. I really wish it would be different.

I am a huge fan of direct democracy, but I don't see a good way to implement it.

Yes, a system like that where you can split your voice based on topics, my personal strengths is with financial and technical topics so those I would vote for myself, and delegate everything else to different people or parties sounds much more practical and useable.

That I would find very interesting and possibly a huge step forward.

Voting on opinions is a very bad idea, because opinions doesn't have to be backed by facts or reality. I can have the opinion that it should be law that all people should wear green socks on Tuesdays. Should there really be a vote about a opinion like that? If yes, then then floodgates will be open and the system gets overwhelmed with input to vote on. If not, who decides what kind of opinion is valid to vote one, and how can a misuse of that power be prevented.

To do a informed vote on something you should have at least some basic idea what the topic means and a understanding of the implications, benefits and risks of that.

So let's say 0.001 percent of the people in a country with for example 40 million people in the valide age group have some great ideas that they want to get voted about every year. That would be 400 votes, so more then a votes every day. That means that you either vote blind on lots/most of the topics or do nothing else then to keep up on the needed data to do a informed decision. Even with only 40 votes, so about one vote every ten days, you would be forced to invest a huge part of your time to keep yourself up to date on all topics.

Oh and such a voting system would be extremely easy to manipulate by influencers, celebrities or other people with a high parasocial or charismatic power.

Well it is at least not a "New Switch" like they did with the "New 3DS" back then.

I am a huge fan of immutable distributions, not for my personal daily driver but for secondary systems like my living room/home theater PC.

I use a PS5 controller for some time and it works perfectly great with every function available out of the box due to the official, Sony engineered, controller module in the stock Linux kernel.

It can be used wired, which I do most of the time, or via Bluetooth.

Ok, I then misunderstood the point you wanted to make. Sorry for that and thank you for explaining it further.

Unfortunately not, or at least I was not able to find anything that would be fully Chromecast compatible receiver implementation. The Chromecast protocol is closed source and has encrypted communication. A few hacks exist but nothing that would be easy usable or anywhere stable.

David Revoy [1] is an artist who uses only open source software and Krita on a very high level and what he produces is pure art. So I would beg to differ, Krita is a extremely capable program if used by a person who can use it properly.

There are solutions like https://en.gazdetect.com/ventilated-chemical-suit/ and I read about some that are kind of build like a fridge (with cooling liquid pumped through tubes and a radiator). I was not able to find examples for those, but I blame the decline of search engines for that 😜

The oxygen level was slightly higher back then, but nothing that would kill a human. But yeah airborne pathogens would be a problem, maybe wear a hazmat suit (with active personal climate control) to the dance party.

Configuration is a type of stored data.

Configuration is data that is read and parsed on program startup.

But limiting it to configuration storage only makes it only more absurd to implement turning completeness into the language.

Yaml is a data storage format, why should it have any kind of programmability or even turning completeness?

Those things should be done in the program that uses the data not inside of the data itself.

Maybe they should have put that more into the focus, but everything that I had read about it back then was always only about the name change.

A few years ago there was some news about a fork called glimpse, but nobody cared so it died quickly.

The amount of work that would be needed to combine two completely and fundamental different engines makes it unrealistic in my eyes. Engines are huge and complicated beasts, they can't be put into a blender and mixed together.
