I feel that the question about citizenship is mutual. Either that, or perhaps it's a question of comptence and ideality.

Im not sure about the property part, as the state appears to want to claim private land (in a rather indirect way through heightened taxes and reclassifications of property, such as making a 10 hectare farm into a "villa with garden") with the excuse to use it for natural area, though it's any body's guess to what will actually happen.

I do agree on public transport, as it is anything but functional in its current state. The windmills are nice, but we can't actually properly use those we've built so far and the politicians don't seem to want to fix the problem, instead choosing to just build more. And yes, our politics are just a sad joke, both the right and left wings.

Though, I do disagree about the violence part. I'd love for every single politician to get kicked out of Christiansborg and replaced by people who hopefully don't lie out of both ends, but if done using violence (and especially if done without the backing of the citizen, such as by a group who have made it their life goal to be hated by as many people as possible), then I cannot imagine it ending in anything but disaster.

I wish Denmark never gets an active presence of these groups. Oil, coal, and natural gas is irrefutably fatal and one has loads of reasons to despise those who lobby for it, but I despise those who cause terrorism (doesn't matter if it's destruction of cultural artifacts nor environmental disasters or indirect support and growth of oil, such as what Greenpeace is known for) with about equal amount.

Combating oil lobbies is extremely hard, albeit absolutely necessary, but I don't think having the common populace hate you even more than they hate the lobbyists is a good first step.

Also, Denmark appears to already be trying to work towards solutions for a better, more green future using windmills and by reclaiming farmland for more natural zones (hopefully they don't end up selling it to international farmers instead), but do indeed lack quite a lot behind on actual usefulness of all their hard work.

Regarding this, a lot of technology is not fully mature yet, we have windmills, yet are not sure how to properly maintain and decommission them in a proper manner. We have the tech, yes, but, as far as I'm aware, were currently facing much the same way as plastic. We CAN recycle plastic, but how much is really recycled? Also, do we commit to lithium polymer batteries which are very dirty, or do we attempt to use non-mature technologies such as hydrogen-pastes?

Huh, is Windows screwing over GRUB and Linux not a bi-monthly experience anymore? Sad that it happened, but glad that it's become novelty enough to write about.

Just detach the blades. You can always re-attach them when you've landed.

Thank you. The warning is gone, though the result remains the same. Sadly.

I figured that was the case, just wanted to point it out. :)

Boost does not render the image. Can't even display the image when clicking on it as Boost's integrated webbrowser just tries to download it instead. Also, HTTP warning.

We get to choose the genes when genetically modifying, and it usually takes a few years (plus health metrics and research once complete).

Contrary, when selectively breeding we can breed for traits which we are not guaranteed to actually get, and it takes a few decades (plus health metrics and research once complete).

Huh, I'm not sure they are comparable.

Didn't USB A and USB B use a master-slave relationship in which the male would (generally) always be the slave, whereas USB C uses agreement and discussion to decide the master and slave roles regardless of connector gender.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong. Also, do we say "agent" now instead of "slave", or what is the new term?

The absolute ridicule! I'm sorry, but I might not survive this! How could this come to be?!

Partly. A feed is typically a set of rules showing you only your interests and filtering out everything else, and within this subset you then go about choosing.

Ideally we would not only have "women\men\bi" categories, but also "orthodox (cis only)\regular(mixed)\frisky(trans only)" categories. Otherwise, we might run into the problems which Saltesc describes, now that being trans is becoming more commonplace.

There needs to be space for everybody (or "everybody whom I don't mind" depending on who you ask, sad lol), but while choices always have some consequences, we need to be careful that our freedom of choice doesn't become another's choice of freedom. I think trans people are (sadly) very well acquainted with this.

Well, almost (49/51%).

Needless to say, the steam deck has definitely found its place playing Monster Hunter, Graveyard Keeper, and sometimes even Guild Wars 2 and factorio.

It does run Deep Rock Galactic and Vermintide 2 too, but I feel those are better played on the rig.
