  • That's not the definition of racism.

    Giving people in a wheelchair a ramp onto the train is not ableism.

    Giving children a booster seat in a car is not ageism.

    Bigtory is about discriminating against people based on an attribute. So you'd need to argue that the rest of Australia is having their government representation taken away by the voice.

    The entire point of the voice is try and treat people equally by addressing the intergenerational issues caused by systemic racism.

  • Hahaha, that's a fair question. I also realised later that jb hi fi don't stock the steam deck .. in aus. I had been looking at the nz page and made a poor assumption : https://www.jbhifi.co.nz/handheld-gaming-console/steam-deck-gaming-console-512gb/426726/

    It also turns out whilst dicksmiths actually sells steam decks in aus they are now just a third party market place.

    It does, however, support the point i had suggested - that the lack of steam hardware in Aus is a 'personal' thing, given that you can get them from a first party supplier in nz but not here.

  • The academic system is a tiered system. Publish or perish is a term that mostly applies to early to mid career researchers, who are pracitcally all employed on fixed term contracts.You don't lose your job if you don't publish, you just can't get (or are less competitive for) your next job.

    Tenured academics (professors/A. Prof.) are on ongoing employment by the university. Their job is never really under threat. Although if they wanted to move jobs and be successful in grants then they want a productive group (many publications) to prove they are leading cutting edge research.

    Universities care directly around how much grant funding their professors can pull into the university. However, in many countries it's difficult to remove long serving academics. It's not uncommon for 'retired' proffs to die at their desk, even though they checked out decade's ago.

  • No one has directly answered your question.

    The answer is yes, you can create photovoltaic cells better optimise to pick up high energy light such as that from nuclear decay (gamma radiation). However, the power generated by photovoltaics is limited more by intensity of the light, and not the energy per photon (wavelength). For physical reasons is hard to capture the energy of high energy light, so gamma photovoltaics are low power concepts.

    There is an idea going around to grow diamond with c14 and also harvest that c14 decay with a diamond based photovoltaic. Making everlasting batteries, albeit radioactive and microwatt. (Specifics are probably wrong, working from memory.)

  • No one two jango was maybe the biggest miss, otherwise pretty good... especially given the absurdity of making one piece live action.

    I really liked luffys accent... fit the character for me. Sanjis too.

  • I think the microtransactions praise was more are, non predatory marketing / extracting every last cent praise. Didn't Stanfield have a premium cost to pay a week earlier or something? Is that not a similar concept, albeit nowhere near as shit as microtransactions.

    Are we not all tired of being wrung out for our cash? What's so wrong with just charging what you need so that you can make a game.

  • Sure.

    What i don't follow is why you're having this experience, when for the average user is click to install and play out if the box for many many games.

    If it's not the game, because you've checked protondb, and it's not the software, because you've installed multiple distros i feel like you've either got some super unique hardware challenge or you're making a unlikely mistake. Heaven forbid people ask you if you've done things that are obvious, we're just trying to help. Nothing sucks more than sinking time into getting a game to work for it to fail.

    Regardless, based on highly emotional responses to many posts my guess is that you're the root cause of your own problems.
