"Oops." - The people killing our world and won't face any real consequences.

More and more aspects of life require an app or at least a smartphone (QR codes). That already excludes older people from some aspects of daily life. Let's do the same for kids!

Politicians should do their jobs and regulate tech and social media not ban useful devices.

HDR? Ah, you mean when videos keep flickering on Wayland!

I will switch when I need a new GPU.

Sports are divided by gender, because it's easy. It has been done that way for a long time.

But how is a long jump competition between a 1,50m and a 1,90m woman fair?

It's not.

People who want fairness should see past easy binary characteristics. We are tracking hormone levels, muscle mass, body fat and countless other statistics in professional sports. Why can't we divide athletes in 3, 4, or more different groups?

"It's unfair to have trans athletes compete with women!"

It's unfair when I play basketball against LeBron, as well.

Bigoted people are making it about competition while holding onto the archaic division between men and women.

They could create other criteria and have 3, 4 ... Separate groups. Making sports much fairer. But this is about oppression, not fairness.

When knowledge is deliberately gated by large entities and the author would give it away for free (scientific papers) is a no-brainer for me. Or when a course requires specific textbooks that costs hundreds of dollars.

How was there never a legal battle between KDE and Mortal Kombat?

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Why companies aren't fined for every customers data they didn't secure properly is beyond me. This should cost them a specific sum per customer or part of their annual global revenue. Make it hurt.

Otherwise they have no reason to spend money to properly secure people's data.

I know this.

(I'm actually watching TNG for the first time. I skipped a lot of episodes so far and just made it past this episode.)

I hop between invidious, piped and Freetube regularly. Had some instances when both piped and invidious don't work at all.

Keychron is a good choice. Take a look at the V6 Max (wireless) as well. It has a gasket mount, QMK/VIA support and 2.4Ghz as well as Bluetooth. Price is very similar. For a nice aluminium body you can also upgrade to Q6 (Max). However, the price jump is much higher.

I use Auto CPU Freq on my T480 and am satisfied so far.

Y2K is similar. Most people will remember not much happening at all. Lots of people worked hard to solve the problem and prevent disaster.

I'm looking into Proton, Windscribe and AirVPN atm. Travelling the high seas is my main reason for a VPN. In the past I didn't use it enough to switch from Mullvad, which I liked except for their port forwarding switch.

Thanks for the hint.

Yeah, I was getting desperate 😆

During the season where they got to a seemingly safe place and then it turned out humans are the worst. Then zombies killed some humans and the others had to flee.

I'm sure you know which season I mean /s

I try Wayland from time to time, but my 4k60Hz TV (HDMI) keeps having problems.

Under Wayland I only get 30Hz and sometimes it makes the system very laggy.

Rumors are it will have a LCD screen. That way Nintendo will be able to make a version with an OLED screen a few years later and sell it to you again. They're so "innovative".

T480. Still good availability. It was popular with companies that put them back into th e market a few years ago.

Last model without glued RAM. So it's upgradable and you can install two M.2 drives. One with 2240 length and a full-size 2280 in the main drive bay.

The battery setup is great as well. One internal battery plus an external you can choose depending on your needs. Either small and light for a bit more juice or big and heavy for max runtime.

I got one 6 months ago and couldn't be happier.
