  • I think I tried emudeck and it wouldn’t install. But that wasn’t their issue (turned out to be a regression upstream).

    I think I had stuttering sound in audio too. But that’s via HDMI.

    Spdif no issue

    I also used another gaming distro though so might be confusing them

    They should absolutely keep developing it. It will only get better, and I’m a unique case because I’ve been using Linux probably since 1998 or so.

    But I feel they make things a bit more custom, and it will only get better. It has a lot of potential, and is probably the best option already for many people



  • That’s the biggest issue

    There are so many people in the community who attack developers.

    I had a open source project which I started, it got a lot of media attention but I gave it up because so much of the community is toxic and just made me feel unsure about developing the idea further.

    And lots of other developers are the same. Even with Lemmy, people weren’t going to contribute, but they targeted the developers political beliefs.

    And I see so much crap talking on Lemmy here because developers choose to use GitHub or discord. If you don’t like that, contribute to the project, but don’t try to dictate the project you have no involvement in




  • There’s a lot of problems with nuclear

    1. We know it’s expensive, and it takes so long to build that if that’s the only plan, it makes no sense not to install solar. So ultimately my the time it is built, it will be even less economical

    2. Same problems as coal. You can’t simply turn it on. It can take hours. That’s part of the reason for recent blackout in Vic (turbines need to sync up same speed and phase as the grid or they shit themselves, and that can take hours). Solar/batteries take 100ms and will always get the contract. Cheaper too…

    3. It’s still centralized so power in rural areas will still be crap. If you put batteries and solar in those areas though and treat them as microgrids, everyone will have more reliable power. They can stop whining about their blackouts

    4. The cost of solar and batteries right now is irrelevant. In 15 years by the time this plant is built, based on the current price drops, i think I calculated that batteries and solar are 66% - 90% cheaper. It would be stupid to think this technology doesn’t drop in cost, and improve in efficiency.

    5. We have a lot of space here in Australia for solar. So, energy density doesn’t matter like many countries.

    Instead of wasting all this gd money on nuclear, they should be using it to build manufacturing factories for lithium batteries and solar.

    Nuclear doesn’t solve any real issues here in Australia.








  • The only policy anyone will remember Trump has, is that he’s racist.

    He made sure everyone knew that and kept emphasizing it. And it was the only one that wasn’t made up on the spot. He seemed to have lots of ways to blame foreigners for everything

    And he wanted everyone to know he’s better at golf. That I believe, considering he spent his 4 years in office playing it (the only thing he seemingly did was steal some paperwork and blame others).

    Also, why didn’t CNN bring up stuff like the fact Trump told people to shove a lightbulb up their ass to cure covid? Or follow up on the lies. They should have had a ticker at the bottom with a fact check




  • I disagree with a lot of coverage. Public talking is hard and everyone has had a brainfart before.

    Trump wanted everyone to know he was racist… It was his only clear policy

    If you listen to the actual words, Biden had answers. He might not have been as vocal (which could have been fixed with a mic adjustment).

    But it’s easy to win a debate if you constantly lie. You can’t get onto the offensive, because Trump has the advantage that he can make up bullshit, and claim bullshit. He doesn’t even need to think about policies.

    It’s like arguing on Facebook. Talking on behalf of everyone and claiming that “nobody agrees” can only be disputed with facts.

    As others have said, the format was an issue that benefits Trump. CNN should have fact checked on the spot


  • Yeah. Biden said after “it’s hard to win a debate against a liar”.

    If you’ve ever argued with someone on Facebook, it’s the same. Because it doesn’t matter what you say, they’ll simply claim you are lying and it’s easy to make up bullshit. Coming up with facts, supporting them and recalling your policies is a lot harder.

    Whereas, Trump doesn’t need to worry about his policies. He just makes them up and throws in racism.

    Trump wanted everyone to know he is a racism piece of shit. If anything, that was his only policy . I’ve never seen someone be so racist

    What’s weird is that you hear Biden on different mics soon after, he sounded fine, so I think the mics may have needed adjusting too. But maybe the rules dictated both levels were the same or something
