they have to de-MAGA the whole party, then they’ll be in good shape.

Hopefully not because conservatism itself is a morally and intellectually bankrupt position. So I'd be much happier if they burn themselves to the ground, and/or conservatism becomes unpalatable to the vast majority.

nixos-anywhere also works well for this use case.

Reminds me of this Simpsons bit. But yeah, a lot of well off people (even those that are well meaning) are just completely out of touch on how many people actually live.

His name is Hans and drinking has ruined his life.

Owned by Newscorp (Murdoch) to give even more context.

Oh and the writer is from the Ethics and Public Policy Center:

the group describes itself as "dedicated to applying the Judeo-Christian moral tradition to critical issues of public policy"

The public keys are stored on the server (by necessity) but not the private keys. The actual connection is directly between two of your own machines, or routed through a DERP server (encrypted end-to-end) in rare cases.

But if you're concerned, you can instead self host headscale or netbird.

It's because the Republicans have a structural advantage due to the electoral college. So Democrats need a larger margin in the popular vote to win enough seats, whereas Republicans can win even without winning the popular vote (as they did in 2016).

four- or five-episode series.

It was six episodes. That's how much was needed to cover how much of a piece of shit Vince is.

Correct - FSR already applies CAS. I don’t think applying another CAS pass on top of that will work out too well.

True. I was assuming sharpening was disabled altogether, but if it's just set not strong enough, that's a different matter.

There's also money to be made from climate change action, particularly for those countries that get this done earlier. People who care about the bigger picture don't need to be convinced by that, but it can help convince the rest.

this is for a non-native Proton game with FSR support built in

In that case, the game itself should expose the feature. You don't mention the exact game, but you could try PCGW.

Alternatively, you could use vkBasalt to layer CAS on top, which from memory is pretty much what FSR sharpening is.

Not at exactly the same time since the app and watch communicate over Bluetooth. You should be able to pair and repair between the apps, but I haven't tested it myself.

Basically, gadgetbridge is a third party open-source application that replaces the manufacturer app for a bunch of fitness watches (and other devices of that kind).

So you can use it to replace the phone connectivity functions (like receiving notifications etc) as well as getting visualisations of the data etc. And since it all happens locally, none of your data is stored on the manufacturer's servers. If you understand how to work with SQL and statistics, you can also run your own statistical analyses, since it's just a sqlite DB.

The downside is that you can expect it to be limited in functionality compared to e.g. Garmin's cloud functionality. Personally I find there's enough data to be useful, but other's might have different needs.

Popularity has little to do with quality. And that applies to iMessage as much as WhatsApp, Facebook, or any of the other communication channels that dominate due to network effects and switching costs.

Garmin watches are now increasingly supported by GadgetBridge too, so you can have a fully offline setup.

and cheaper energy as well.

Especially in the long run. I expect it to be unlimited in the way internet plans are, where you just pay a monthly fee and can use as much as you need (within reason).

We're already at the point that renewables are far cheaper than the alternatives. It's just the capital costs that are higher (compared to keeping existing FF), but that's not a huge issue for rich, developed countries.

So rich countries can massively invest in renewables and press their advantage. Ideally, these rich countries also subsidise renewable energy in developing countries (and to some extent, they are). But even without that in many cases it's cheaper to just skip building a whole FF industry altogether and go straight to renewables.

It's still a better option than using the Play store if you really need a newer build, but yeah, not my first choice.

Calling them weird really gets under their skin somehow.

It's because it makes them seem pathetic and not scary. They get off from being seen as dangerous, but really can't handle being made fun of as it reveals them for what they truly are.

There's sometimes third party repos that are updated faster. Or you can use obtainium and get updates straight from github.
