All cops are fucking bastards

Oh that’s interesting. Same thing happens with my Deck when I launch W10. Have to wait for Steam to launch before my Deck controls work.

I’ve been so back and first with this controller man. No aux jack, but the USB-C port could be used with a 3.5-to-USB-C converter to get audio while the puck charges the controller on the back. Then this Windows driver thing, but it not really being an issue because it works through Steam.

Slight inconveniences with moderate workarounds. Doesn’t help that it’s $100.

No Windows drivers? So I can’t use the controller with my Windows 10 Steam Deck dual boot?

DOA for me.

As a side note, landlords are a disease

To the capitalist, everything is an asset that can make money, including land. No money making in returning land to nature, unless a positive externality is introduced by a tax credit or something. Not a perfect solution by far, but rewilding is a necessary pill to swallow because we’re in the sixth mass extinction and are using land for things like cows and pigs which is super water and fertilizer intensive.

THIS !!!

As a solar engineer myself that started in utility scale solar and just left their first Commercial & Industrial (C&I) solar job, residential, commercial, and industrial solar is the best use.

1. you center generation as close as possible to utilization, minimizing transmission and distribution.

2. land is re-used, allowing other lands for other uses like rewilding, reforesting, and conservation.

You still have other problems like large power users, but you cannot ignore the benefits.

Home Assistant is a free and open source alternative for home automation. Don’t have to completely give up the future.

I get this when it reaches 10% iirc

But pro hunting groups would say wolves are “threatening their way of life.”

Bitch we threatened wolves’ way of life when we exterminated them from habitats. Dear are not meant to populate where they have in numbers they have. The ecosystem didn’t evolve that way.

I drive Windows mostly on my Deck but only because Marathon doesn’t run on Proton (yet).

Otherwise I always ran SteamOS for Chivalry 2.

I dual boot SteamOS and Windows 10 IoT LTSC mostly because there are still some game developers that can’t figure out how to enable anti-cheat for Linux.

And does Windows rewrite my boot sequence every time?

Sure, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

I absolutely believe this

God the more and more I hear about China the more based it is.

President Xi Jinping save us all

authoritarian— but I know you’re apathetic towards authoritarianism

All governments/states are authoritarian. That is their nature. No government is excluded from this.

The difference with some governments over others is who wields that authority: the majority of working class people, or the minority of capitalist class people.

I’d prefer to live in a state that advocates for my best interests as a working class individual rather than submit to capitalists that want to extract everything that I’m worth for themselves and hoard for no good reason.

Many areas are more open and progressive.

See Chengdu for instance.

Mandating solar PV in all building codes nationwide, and incentivizing onshoring of all of the processes that go into manufacturing solar PV panels (including using trade protectionism practices such as tariffs AFTER WE ALREADY HAVE PROCESSING AND MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES IN THE USA) will do wonders for helping average people transition away from fossil fuel Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) cars to EVs.

Many people who cry foul about EVs and renewables adding too much load to a grid that is too old and just can’t handle it forget the main counter to disarm their arguments: colocating generation with utilization.

Having solar PV (and other renewable) generation closest to where that power wants to be used is the best for the grid infrastructure (maybe not the grid investors) because it reduces residential/commercial load while maintaining the needs of the original giga users of the grid: Industry.

There are solutions to SO many of today’s problems. We just have politicians that are bought and sold by billionaires and their corporations who won’t do the public’s bidding. Voting progressive politicians in, and preferably ones who vocally claim they’re Democratic Socialist or similar, is the strongest way we push back against Big Oil, Big Coal, Big Tech, and all the other mega industries.

Coyotes are also present in many places in the US, and birds of prey can harm pets too.

No excuse for eliminating a healthy and necessary species from the ecology. Human ego trumps all
