Yes, that's what Quad is about - it's a step towards rebuilding a Pacific defense alliance. (Quad isn't yet an alliance)

Yes-

To add, If you're even filling a bucket of water with a hose, it's against regulations if the end of the hose gets submerged, that's a 'cross connection'

Still needs an RPZ in Australia, regulations for backflow protection are super stringent here.

Depends where you are-

In many states of Australia installing a Bidet is extremely expensive as they they need to have a full RPZ backflow protection device (bulky and expensive - $600+ for the part) to prevent backflow. (simple and even double check valves aren't allowed for Bidets as they're considered 'high hazard')

'Partners' doesn't really mean much though.

NATO is European only, there is little to no chance any of us in the Pacific are joining on to save Europe in a land war for a third time, as there no chance Europe would ever lift a finger to help Australia or Japan if China decides it's go time.

"Why don't they just turn on the taps? Those canadians, the 51st state, they're poisoning us, the biggest smog we've ever seen, I turned on the taps in California and I'll do it again now folks"

edit- I asked ChatGPT to make it more trump-like

"Look, it's very simple, folks — just turn on the taps! That’s what I said, that’s what I did. The Canadians — wonderful people, some of them — but let’s be honest, they’re basically the 51st state, okay? They’re sending us smog — toxic smog — the likes of which the world has never seen before. It’s coming over the border like you wouldn’t believe — nasty stuff. I opened the taps in California, nobody thought it could be done, but I did it — I alone did it. And now, I’m gonna do it again. Bigger. Faster. Cleaner. We’re gonna have the cleanest air, the best water, tremendous water — people are gonna be amazed!"

edit2-

"Why don't they just turn on the taps, folks? It's not hard — you turn them, water comes out, it's beautiful. I did it in California — nobody thought it could be done, the fake news said it was impossible — but I turned on those taps, and BOOM, water like you've never seen. Now we’ve got smog — not just any smog, the biggest, thickest, most Canadian smog coming across the border. It's pouring in like an invasion — from Canada! I always said they were basically the 51st state, and now they’re sending us smoke — real smoke, fire smoke, wildfire smoke! They're poisoning our air, folks — our beautiful American lungs are breathing Canadian smog. Disgusting! But don't worry, I’ll fix it. I’ll open the taps again. Bigger taps. Stronger taps. The best taps. And we’ll blow that smog right back where it came from — back to Trudeau!"

edit3- I told GPT that Trudeau isn't president and gave Carney the Obvious trump nickname.

"Why don’t they just turn on the taps, folks? It’s not complicated — you open the taps, the water comes out, boom, problem solved. I did it in California, remember that? They said it couldn’t be done — the environmental people were crying — but I turned those taps on like nobody's ever done before. And now we’ve got smog, folks. Not just any smog — this is Canadian smog. Fire smog. It's rolling across the border like a fog of maple-flavored doom. Poisoning us! Coming down from the 51st state — I’ve always said it, Canada’s basically a suburb of America — and now their fires are choking our air. And who’s in charge up there? A guy named Carney — Mark 'Carnage' Carney — total disaster. Worse than Trudeau, if you can believe it. Total globalist. He’s letting Canada burn like a campfire in a wind tunnel. But don’t worry, folks, I’ll handle it. We’re gonna open the taps again, faster, harder, beautiful, American taps — and we’ll send that smog right back to Carnage and his climate clown crew!"

Unless it includes fighting Trumpet WinSock, it's not going to have enough jank.

The problem is actually kwin-wayland, kwin5 on X11 was very frgual, where both kwin5 and kwin6 on Wayland eat vram for breakfast. Right now my desktop is using 4535MiB, the biggest user being plasmashell itself at 1120MiB

It's not actually a wayland problem though and If I really wanted I'd of dropped back to X11 when I was still running plasma5 - but Wayland brings more solutions to the table than problems.

Linux on system RAM: I sip

Linux on VRAM post-Wayland: BIG GULPS

I used to be able to run a desktop on less than 1GB VRAM, now with 16GB it fills up starts misbehaving.

Which readme?

The one on the github that has out of date instructions and tells you to check the discord?

The 6 year out-of-date one on your distro's wiki?

or The gnu-info/manpage that is only for the original upstream and doesn't tell you where all the files have been moved or that half of the software isn't actually installed since it was split out into extra packages for justdebianthings

Not sure, we voted to become a republic in 1999 which was 45% yes/55% no, but quite a few of the 'No' party were dissatisfied with the plans for the republic itself rather than ditching the Crown.

Directly via the Crown in Australia, none.

Though it's largely considered The Queen was involved in dismissing Gough Whitlam in 1975.

Usually it's just the typical double-dissolution where after having a number of bills passed in the lower house (house of representatives) but rejected in the upper house (senate), the Prime Minister can petition the Governor General (representative of and to the Crown when the Monarch isn't in Australia) to dissolve both houses and call for fresh elections.

*From all countries.

He has the power to dissolve parliament, same in Australia and NZ.

Not in Australia, it's $120 here.

Todd, Marty, Phil and Satya can suck an egg together.

Not just because some people don't have it either, but for anything with RTX2000/3000 and RDNA2, Forced RT is just forced low framerate.

I hope making everyone dynamically draw the lights and shadows in realtime for a linear game was worth the 15c it saved on Microsoft's electricity bill for not pre-baking overnight.

I'd like to know more.
