[fake title] Good News! Court says Biden can assassinate Trump! (as long as it is for the sake of the Constitution)
  • That's the thing

    If he has total immunity, doesn't it mean he can just sign into law to remove the dodgy Trump justices?

    The really sad part is that people on the fox news youtube are calling this a win for America.

    Their rights are being eroded, and they're still brown nosing the guy.

  • Reddit just isn't how it used to be.
  • My big issue is that a lot of the Aussie subs went full right wing (Murdoch media type stuff.

    I don't even bother browsing it anymore.

    Really hope we keep the click bait out of here and keep the more scientifically oriented community

  • Who Won The First Biden-Trump Presidential Debate [of 2024]?
  • Thats the best way of putting it..

    He isn't even trying to hide it anymore. In fact, I'd go as far as to say, he's possibly far beyond the point of even knowing he's lying anymore. He's either literally delusional, or he's relying on 3rd party info exclusively from places like Fox News without performing any type of validation and is gullible.

  • Custom Linux Distribution just for Gaming
  • I think I tried emudeck and it wouldn't install. But that wasn't their issue (turned out to be a regression upstream).

    I think I had stuttering sound in audio too. But that's via HDMI.

    Spdif no issue

    I also used another gaming distro though so might be confusing them

    They should absolutely keep developing it. It will only get better, and I'm a unique case because I've been using Linux probably since 1998 or so.

    But I feel they make things a bit more custom, and it will only get better. It has a lot of potential, and is probably the best option already for many people

  • Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines
  • People like Theo De Raadt might have had a fairly huge impact on killing BSD.

    He might have alienated a lot of people from even considering bsd.

    The Linux community also had a lot of help by vendors such as Suse and Redhat who had no problems implementing good ideas which were a bit toxic, but were available in windows. Commercial venders can make a massive difference (as well as government deployments).

    The big problem has been people resistant to change

  • Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines
  • That's the biggest issue

    There are so many people in the community who attack developers.

    I had a open source project which I started, it got a lot of media attention but I gave it up because so much of the community is toxic and just made me feel unsure about developing the idea further.

    And lots of other developers are the same. Even with Lemmy, people weren't going to contribute, but they targeted the developers political beliefs.

    And I see so much crap talking on Lemmy here because developers choose to use GitHub or discord. If you don't like that, contribute to the project, but don't try to dictate the project you have no involvement in

  • Nuclear push would drag out energy transition, PM warns
  • There's a lot of problems with nuclear

    1. We know it's expensive, and it takes so long to build that if that's the only plan, it makes no sense not to install solar. So ultimately my the time it is built, it will be even less economical

    2. Same problems as coal. You can't simply turn it on. It can take hours. That's part of the reason for recent blackout in Vic (turbines need to sync up same speed and phase as the grid or they shit themselves, and that can take hours). Solar/batteries take 100ms and will always get the contract. Cheaper too..

    3. It's still centralized so power in rural areas will still be crap. If you put batteries and solar in those areas though and treat them as microgrids, everyone will have more reliable power. They can stop whining about their blackouts

    4. The cost of solar and batteries right now is irrelevant. In 15 years by the time this plant is built, based on the current price drops, i think I calculated that batteries and solar are 66% - 90% cheaper. It would be stupid to think this technology doesn't drop in cost, and improve in efficiency.

    5. We have a lot of space here in Australia for solar. So, energy density doesn't matter like many countries.

    Instead of wasting all this gd money on nuclear, they should be using it to build manufacturing factories for lithium batteries and solar.

    Nuclear doesn't solve any real issues here in Australia.

  • See Biden's fiery speech after shaky debate performance
  • Actually, I disagree. Trump actually did make one point exceptionally well and did an excellent job emphasizing it.

    That he is going to blame immigrants for everything and he is racist

    Id go as far as calling it a wolf whistle to people he knows are violent and will help him during election time

    It's clear that he's slowly trying to set up another civil war

  • Custom Linux Distribution just for Gaming
  • I tried it. Gave up and moved to regular fedora at the end. I didn't see any real benefits personally

    I did like many of the ideas, like gamescope is built in. But I think I had minor issues

  • See Biden's fiery speech after shaky debate performance
  • The only policy anyone will remember Trump has, is that he's racist.

    He made sure everyone knew that and kept emphasizing it. And it was the only one that wasn't made up on the spot. He seemed to have lots of ways to blame foreigners for everything

    And he wanted everyone to know he's better at golf. That I believe, considering he spent his 4 years in office playing it (the only thing he seemingly did was steal some paperwork and blame others).

    Also, why didn't CNN bring up stuff like the fact Trump told people to shove a lightbulb up their ass to cure covid? Or follow up on the lies. They should have had a ticker at the bottom with a fact check

  • Who Won The First Biden-Trump Presidential Debate [of 2024]?
  • I disagree with a lot of coverage. Public talking is hard and everyone has had a brainfart before.

    Trump wanted everyone to know he was racist.. It was his only clear policy

    If you listen to the actual words, Biden had answers. He might not have been as vocal (which could have been fixed with a mic adjustment).

    But it's easy to win a debate if you constantly lie. You can't get onto the offensive, because Trump has the advantage that he can make up bullshit, and claim bullshit. He doesn't even need to think about policies.

    It's like arguing on Facebook. Talking on behalf of everyone and claiming that "nobody agrees" can only be disputed with facts.

    As others have said, the format was an issue that benefits Trump. CNN should have fact checked on the spot

  • NUC 12 Enthusiast Compatibility?

    Any other NUC 12 Enthusiast users out there. Just wondering if any of you guys are still successfully using it on the latest distro's with ARC support, or whether rebooting still has issues for more than anyone but myself (just picked one of these up the other day, and I suspect there are recent regressions maybe)

    Removal of short front Fence for native /wildflower garden

    I'm considering removing the front fence (which is a criss cross pattern made of wood) at the front of my house (its literally only 1m high, there is no gate, and you can walk around it using the driveway. This would allow me to create a path from my doorway, directly to the footpath, and replace the grass with Trees native shrubs and flowers. I'd then grow a small hedge where the fence was.

    Just wondering whether the fence adds any real value to the property, if I replace it with a hedge anyway?
