Compared to America, Europe might look socialist. I assure you it’s not.

Tim Minchin said it in “Storm” but I don’t think he coined the term.

They usually do if they don’t use kernel level anti cheat. But it’s a bit more complicated than Steam. There are guides online. It’s manageable but it’s not “click play and you’re done” like steam

For most users it probably just comes down to what is installed on their machine when they buy it. People generally don’t think about operating systems a whole lot.

Fairphone 5 can force slow charging via settings. I use it all the time because I usually charge over night and it helps preserve battery life.

You don’t. Calling people trash should be taken seriously.

I love KdenLive!

Man, a kid shot themselves and that’s what you have to say?

I love that feature so much. I have played through at least 20 backlog single player games with my deck. Amazing games that I could never finish before because it’s apparently too much to ask for my brain.

It’s so much more convenient to play locally though. Just press the button and you’re back where you left. No need to boot up the PC, start the game, establish the connection.

Wait, do people have an actual vocalized inner monologue every time they think?

For the average person, that is impossible. Also, you lose a lot of features compared to SteamOS. Also, the controls are (at least to me) a main selling point and there is no controller on the market that comes close to the capabilities of the Deck.

Do you have any actual arguments besides “lead good, Trump good”?

Explain what you mean by bloat please

KDE can do that without third party software I believe.

There is also Mint Debian if you want Mint. But honestly, distro doesn’t matter at all to most users. Pick any desktop environment that looks nice to you and go for it.

There is not a lot of storage yet because the goal is only to be climate neutral by 2045 and right now, more power generation has the priority. There are limited funds.

I never said it was easy. I said it was more economically viable than constructing dozens of nuclear reactors.
On the contrary, it’s one of the biggest economic transitions ever.

Wind turbines make up the biggest share of regenerative capacity in the German power grid and there tends to be more wind in winter:

Sorry it’s not the best diagram and it’s in German.
The numbers appear to be TWh of power (that’s why it doesn’t add up to 100). The percentage above each month is the percentage of regenerative sources. 2023 it never dropped beneath 50% except 47 in February.

No nuclear plants were shut down in 2022. Emissions rose because gas was expensive and more coal was burned as a result. The downward trend has since resumed.

In 2023, Germany imported about 12 TWh from France which is about 2% of the total power consumption. Germany tends to export more energy than it imports. Imports and exports are a very normal thing because of the European power grid.

France has its own set of problems with all their nuclear power, namely very high (tax funded) maintenance costs and lack of cooling water in the dry summers.

I know. The price per kWh is still better with renewables and the speed of construction doesn’t even compare.
