i don’t think that’s really true… australia is hugely spread out and we have pretty great mass transit

interesting thing about fire trucks… i asked a fire fighter friend from the US if he knew why their trucks were different to everywhere else in the world, and apparently it’s because US infrastructure is built for military use… if elsewhere in the world had the heavy duty roads, we might also have the heavier fire trucks
not to mention apparently there have been recent studies that predict the deorbiting of all the satellites is going to have drastic climate effects
i feel like this makes it on par with eg newpipe right? since newpipe doesn’t have a server, so all requests are direct to youtube
people seem to be okay with the fingerprint trade-off… and a vpn (as in, an external vpn that invidious routes all traffic through) would help with that
Labour (with a u since it’s a proper noun from the UK) is named after trade unions; they’re the progressive party
is every use of the word “yellow” racist? no but context matters
i’d like to introduce you to your new best friend: reset… it doesn’t everything clear does and a LOT more
ukraine abstained because the US has them over a barrel
does ARM still have better battery life when all of the machine code has to be translated from x86
afaik macos/rosetta is more efficient than native windows/x86, but that could be down to OS integration, or any number of confounding factors… i’d suggest though that x86 windows applications sometimes run better and more efficiently on alternative platforms, even with the translation layers - whether that’s down to the instruction set or a combination of factors
afaik the anti cheat they added is one that’s known to work with linux, but you do have to do some extra stuff… i think valve worked with them to ensure it works on deck, and are probably now working through the steps with rockstar to ensure it’s as easy as possible for them
well i’m extrapolating here but since a foot is based on some random foot i can only assume we can do similar for other things. i’ve found a thermometer with fahrenheit on it and it seems it’s roughly 1mm to 1 degree, so that’s 113,000,000 degrees fahrenheit!
