It's just a pretty typical comparison with rich, highly developed Western democracies. Considering the US has the highest GDP in the world, and also the country that spends the most on healthcare per capita, coming last is damning.

As someone who already has a Deck, I'm more keen on this. The Index was very expensive and only had a limited run. Mind you, the Index is expensive in general and I hope they aim for Quest level prices this time around.

I'm not holding my breath but hopefully it increases youth turnout of women. Which is a group that is much more progressive than young men, but both have poor turnout compared to older people.

paperless-ngx, after having to turn my apartment upside down to find some paper documents.

The NoDerivatives part is concerning. Is he trying to prevent forks?

I'm not sure how this helps Trump. He's not some upstart like in 2016 where people didn't know that much about him and the publicity benefited him. All this is doing is solidifying the racist vote, which he already had locked in. The increasing craziness and utter stupidity is going to continue to peel off the slightly more reasonable, and the Democrats can sit back and let the Republicans tear themselves apart.

and a French study which found that scalp hair tends to whorl in a clockwise direction, though less so in the southern hemisphere.

We better get the preeminent scientist, Bart Simpson, to actually confirm this.

Online scam artists tend to do it, along with random emphasis. It just makes the person using it seem illiterate to me, but we're not the target market.

Think dick pills, pick up artists, conspiracy theorists, and so on.

I'd be happy with 2010 era desktop Linux level of support. It doesn't need to get everybody to switch, just needs to be good enough for my needs.

We've got hearsay and conjecture. Those are "kinds" of evidence.

I only learned to touch type properly because I was bored one summer and went cold turkey and learned Colemak. Before that, I had this weird pseudo touch typing technique with some keys being touch typed and others not, and because of the muscle memory, it was difficult to change.

Userbenchmark have a long running grudge against AMD. I'm not sure why, but they therefore aren't a trustworthy source.

A major improvement already happened in 5.2+ but few devices support it yet (LE Audio with LC3 codec).

LDAC is a very inefficient codec, and isn't lossless even at its highest bitrate. But they are all close to perceptually lossless even at relatively low bitrates so it's a much of muchness.

Someone among Linda Reynolds’ advisors should have had the courage to tell her that persisting with this defamation trial, especially in the wake of the Bruce Lehrmann trial, is really shitty optics.

She seems to have the hubris of Lehrmann, as Christrian Porter had before them. Something about being in the Liberal party makes you believe that normal rules don't apply.

The characters were just 2D sprites from what I recall. And the isometric camera kind of gave it a 2D feel even if it wasn't actually 2D.

Anyway, hopefully this isn't a Switch exclusive as that would be lame.

No official Linux support, which means no Steam Deck support as well. Yes, there's Legendary but I shouldn't have to jump through those hoops.

And is still an active lawyer, so Vance is attacking his wife as well "who should go back to the kitchen" to paraphrase his own wording.

They’re not going to be defended by the soy boys who want to feed the monsters.

He really is just the typical, always online, alt-right loser. Same as Steven Cheung accusing people of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" during the ongoing Arlington scandal.

Beyond moderation, Phoronix is a case study in why downvotes are a good thing. Those idiots going on dumb tangents would continue, while the rest of us can read the actual worthwhile comments (which does happen, given AMD employees and the like comment there sometimes).
