Current world population is 8 billion. 1000/8000000000 is ~ 1.25*10^-7
So if whole population was a meter, those 1000 people would be smaller than red blood cell

If whole population was a trip around the equator (12756 km), those 1000 people would be ~1.6m

It would be hard to maintain meaningful relations with 1000 people so it feels like a big reach. But on the global scale, that 1000 people is like a drop in the ocean

I think your shitposting is fine

AFAIK Silver Monkey is rather local brand, created by the owners of x-kom. So the group that uses them will be very, very small. Unless those use driver used in some more popular brand, there's little chance those will be covered by some project that handles configuring mice that aren't configurable via buttons

Oooh, nice :)

Yup, you just lost the game ;P

Did you enable the full logs in the last configuration TAB on Lutris? Aggressive logging in wine can be needed sometimes but can also tank performance

Also, try running the game directly through Wine, without Lutris and see if issue persists

Don't get me wrong, I agree that sometimes freedom has to fight for itself

have to defend democracy or it will be eroded

Are we sure this is going to happen? Or it is possible that we got convinced on that by people who don't care about democracy, only want to be in charge?

Could you elaborate on this angle? I’m not very well versed in the rights of companies operating in the EU, but I’m unsure “freedom of speech” is one of them.

I rather mean "political discourse"

There was Twitter. Apart from advertising, the very good thing it brought was free access to information. But not only getting it, also sharing. So we knew about for example Arab Spring or Umbrella protests and more or less what is going on, before news decided to tell us and how to tell us

Then came Musk, all in white, saying that moderation on Twitter is biased and he's going to bring it more freedom of speech

Some time passes and let's say that now EU does ban X. What's the next logical thing he'll say?

I think it might be something like "see? EU banned X because they didn't like the truth. For the truth, come to me". I'm afraid that banning would rather give him power and echo chamber, rather than fixing what is going on

I'm not against this angle. But IMO evangelization and conversions only really worked when backed by the state

My approach is calmly keep using free platforms, keep degoogling, when sharing information, share the links from those free platforms, so it keeps pinging in general consciousness that these exist. So the next time everyone does suprised pikachu face to what extent our data is used against us, you don't have to say "see? I told you". They come to you asking how to do this, what are the limitations and realities of getting free etc

But, of course, as with everything, diversity is a strength. Some of us should fight, some of us stay calm and keep going on
I think

Maybe the solution is to put a restriction on business, news agencies, and government services from using it?

But that opens another can of worms. A precedence for a governing body to say which platforms can be used for reaching your audience. I'm afraid the change will have to come from the bottom

If anything, I'd phrase it "public service messaging has to operate on platforms which don't require an account to read". But that doesn't solve the problem of general culture on the service

See? Saved you the ticket!

I don't know

Wouldn't that enable an angle of "martyr for freedom of speech"?

And while I agree that it stopped being what it was and we can't rely on it anymore, wouldn't that separate EU from the rest of the world given current market share?

In my opinion: abandon - yes. Ban - no

Oh, we'll do. We'll build domed enclaves with filtrated air and start selling portable gas tanks with breathing mix
You can even have a strawberry flavour!

There is a vaccine against rota?

Here it's similar. I've found out that if to the question

do you have our membership?

I respond "No, thank you", they often understand correctly and don't assume I want to set one up

But it's still C

I think ++C is going full ahead to D

The more I think about it, the less sense this graphic has

1. If not per sq km, it should at least be per capita
   just checking on wikipedia, divided by area GB should have bar around twice high as Germany. 209k m^{2 vs 357k m}2
2. and what does it mean 1 datacenter in the first place?
   big as a city sprawling datacenter complex and a bunch of racks in the cellar both count as 1?

mosts music tastes stagnate after your teens

Whoah. That claim skipped a few entire genres of my tastes

And I'm pretty sure at least a few artists I listen to are younger than me

For some reason I also read "first" the first time I looked at the title

I think it comes from diminishing experience windows provides

An example, since a few windows versions I can't get to install an old HP printer because they haven't written the drivers for it. On Linux it works fine.
You don't want ads and your os to be sending your passwords who knows where? AFAIK ATM no long time support version of windows provides that.
My gaming buddy is rather well versed in computer stuff, he's the person that writes and hosts our discord bots. He can't make sound drivers to work as he wants. Sometimes things go loud without reason, sometimes mute doesn't work, sometimes sounds play on an output that according to Windows is muted... Crazy stuff
