Looks lovely. If it drives as well as Assetto Corsa and adds some of the modern physics features (which looks like with the puddles and night time) and it doesn't loose any features it will be pretty popular. I am still hoping they will expand the features a bit especially on multiplayer game play and scheduled ranked servers.

Universities have been running Linux since the very early versions. Slackware was pretty common back in the 90s and 2000s and universities had labs full of them not least because there weren't really laptops so they had to have enough machines for all the students. Universities have been heavily involved in the development of unix from its inception and a lot of the tools were initially written by university professors.

It got a lot of controversial press before its release and I can't really recall hearing what the movie is about or it being any good.

I see a lot of confusion and misinformation in the comments about what Just Stop Oils demands are. Their website makes it very plain and you can read through the details yourself. The press has massively misrepresented the groups demands and goals so its best to read it for yourself. https://juststopoil.org/

These are the 3 demands they have.

✅ Demand 1: No New Oil and Gas Licences – WON!

🔥 Demand 2: Just Stop Oil by 2030.

🧡 We need a Fossil Fuel Treaty.

• Demand 1 they only just won when the UK government changed to Labour who have committed the first item, so all their previous actions were with the goal of not expanding yet further the use of fossil fuels.
• Demand 2 is to phase the use of fossil fuels out by 2030. The UK has a net zero goal of 2035 so this would bring that goal earlier but many other countries have a 2030 target in the EU.
• Demand 3 is all about trying to get a world wide treaty signed to stop the use of oil to try and meet the Paris agreement to keep within 1.5C.

There is no immediate demand to stop or anything so extreme, they are largely what the UK has already agreed to do but is failing to achieve.

Peaceful protests have not worked, disruptive protests have been widely villified and the protestors jailed for very long sentences. If you are facing 2-3 years for holding up a banner or throwing some paint seems like criminal damage of a fossil fuel facility isn't likely to net more years. As many have said in the past governments ignore peaceful protests at their peril, because once its clear that doesn't work they become not peaceful.

This has been ridiculous. I have no idea how long my CPU will last and whether it will just randomly start failing. Intel has run out of spares and it seems to have had so many stabs at fixing the problem now that if we believe this is really the last one we are the fools.

These CPUs need a recall.

A right to repair is long overdue but more than that when it comes to medical devices it's obvious battery replacement is going to be necessary and should be user accessible.

This is the study https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(24)00421-8/fulltext

The recent study where they intentional infected a bunch of paid volunteers and tracked what happened over the next year is really concerning. All of them have lasting brain damage and none of them can tell this occurred. The Long Covid studies are struggling to find healthy controls because there are a lot of people now walking around with the metabolic and vascular problems that are found in Long Covid but appear asymptomatic. This virus is doing a lot of damage and everyone is one infection away from their life being destroyed by Long Covid.

The studying I am referring to https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(24)00421-8/fulltext

Bare in mind it's one in 400k such studies showing the damage of Covid it's no outlier it's just really dumb.

Then when you age out and never call them they wonder why it is you don't.

There is a slight complexity to this as methane breaks down into CO2 over a period of about 20 years, in the meantime it contributes a higher warming effect. But there is a measure called CO2e which is the equivalent including the other green house gases and it too has been accelerating so it doesn't change the point its just there are some prior emission impacts on current CO2 in the atmosphere.
