Don’t forget the bureaucratic hangers on. You can’t cut the person who goes around checking recycling compliance by looking to see if there’s a banana peel in the recycling bin.

This is why I argued at the time that the problem was not the lack of an 18+ rating, but the philosophy of the law was wrong. The lack of an 18+ rating meant that some games could not be rated, and if a game does not have a rating from the government then you cannot sell it. This is effectively a situation where all games are by default banned unless explicitly allowed by the government.

Lobbying for an 18+ rating doesn’t solve this problem. And this is exactly what happened; an 18+ rating was created, but with some things that are excluded from that rating. If a game includes those things, then it can’t get an 18+ rating and therefore banned.

The default position should be the other way around: everything is allowed by adults only unless explicitly allowed for minors.

I am not convinced that you can fix unenlightened, paternalistic government behaviour with technocratic bureaucracy reforms.

And even with 4GB Linux itself is not the problem. It’s the apps. So many Electron apps that use so much memory because they’re running in Chromium instances.

But then how are you supposed to surveil citizens?

My work laptop with W11 already has the fans spinning very fast most of the time. When you turn it off you have this uneasy silence in the room.

After work, changing over to a Thinkpad with Fedora, it is silent, even getting it to play Rome 2.

That’s the beauty of the fediverse, your preference doesn’t restrict others freedom. There are non-tech, non-Linux, non-political non-defaultSubreddit etc communities that currently only have a following on Reddit largely because the community is not “in the know” about Lemmy.

I still think it would be a better world if the majority of people used Lemmy instead of Reddit, Signal instead of Whatsapp, Mastodon instead of X etc, despite all the dipshittery that follows when the majority joins.

We can have those niche communities, but the problem is reaching out to the average user (who isn’t in to tech) to join.

If, for example, some non-tech podcast decided to have a Lemmy community instead of a subreddit, then there would be a proportion people who join for that. But I imagine the numbers would be very low considering most shows also have other socials so many people would join the discord server instead. Also in this hypothetical, nothing stops someone from creating an unofficial subreddit which would likely become the popular one.

Correct. Just use Signal. Problem solved.

Tell me about it, it was very confusing.

I was wondering this myself. Launch options? You click on “return to game mode” to start gamescope instead of putting the sequence of commands in the launch options.

And if cast iron is too heavy, then use carbon steel or stainless. We just keep a Teflon pan to cook those frozen rotis.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but this is an answer to a question OP didn’t ask. They were asking for a descriptive answer to the driving limit, not a normative opinion of what you think the limit should be.

Also your conclusion doesn’t follow from the premise. (I could be wrong; but it really doesn’t matter anyway considering the first paragraph of my response)

I suspect it’s the recommendation from someone who hasn’t used the product.

No joke. I don’t even know what Mesa driver version I have. I just don’t need to know it’s all in kernel.
