I guess it boils down to two options:

1. Use the Steam controller and utilise workarounds to play games from other platforms. Is the controller that much nicer to justify the workarounds and the cost?

2. Use a different controller that is compatible with everything. No janky solutions required, which is nice, but is the controller so much worse than the Steam controller that you feel like you’re missing out?

If a certain feature requires a privacy violation, there’s something clearly wrong with the way it was designed.

They are run by professionals who should know what they’re doing. Normies at home could be attacked by the same viruses and exploits.

What about the security implications to all the Linux users? If the EU switches to Linux, it’s suddenly going to become a significantly larger target for hackers and virus programmers. So far, we’ve been kinda flying under the radar, but that could change.

So… cold war 2? Hybrid war? What should we call this?

Have you tried piloting a rocket powered space craft? I'm pretty sure those vehicles are not within the scope of the current laws.

Alternatively, you could construct your own unique vehicle that doesn't fit neatly into any category. How about a flying boat with retractable wheels and wings? Just make sure you design in in such a way, that it lacks key characteristics written in laws regarding cars.

Apparently not. Or maybe it’s just poor wording. You be the judge.

There are healthier ways to stay informed. Doomscrolling has a tendency to cause intense emotions that probably aren’t very helpful during a time when staying focused is important. People shouldn’t ignore what’s happening. Instead, they should try to fix the problem. Unnecessary anxiety and fear is just counterproductive.

If you allow minorities to be oppressed, it will eventually lead to the oppression of larger minorities. Eventually, they’ll also find a reason to come after you as well. Maybe it’s the freckles, or pizza toppings or political opinions. Either way, oppression has a tendency to expand.

It’s serious, so you should act accordingly. Stay strong. Just participate and influence your future. Use whatever means you are comfortable with.

If the situation really is that bad, you’ll hear about it without any doomscrolling. If you don’t come across a topic in normal casual conversations or by reading papers in a library, it’s probably not actually that urgent.

There’s so much unnecessary doom and gloom floating around on mainstream social medias that I can’t really consider them a healthy option for news consumption.

No more doomscrolling for you. Spend time with real people face to face, and you’ll feel the difference within a week.

The grammar is fairly simple, but spelling is a total train wreck and an unparalleled nightmare of inconsistencies and convoluted rules. As long as you don’t have to read or write anything, there’s not much to cry about.

Thank you for this analysis.

Seems like USA is going to fade to irrelevancy, and Trump is speedrunning that game. Even if a sane politician gets elected next time, the damage has already been done. The rest of the world is already moving along without America.

That would also make SEO so much easier.

So is Al-Madinah (literally 'The City') in KSA.

Makes me wish I could register “the pen” as a trademark or something and start selling pens under that name. I wonder if that also makes it impossible for anyone ever find this brand online.

When you have just enough resolution for Australia, you don’t really have the option to include smaller details.

That’s an interesting idea, but I disagree to some extent. Although, I really love the idea of having a single unified global time, it would make traveling inconvenient.

While staying in a different part of the world, you would need to translate local times to your home time. For example, 21:30 may sound like evening to you, but somewhere else that could be midday, morning or anything else. If you look at museum opening hours, it’s not immediately apparent if it opens just after breakfast or just before lunch time. You would need to do these translations several times a day during your stay to understand when things will happen.

However, time units are an inconsistent mess, and the calendar is a total disaster. If we need another french revolution to fix that, I’m not going to stand in its way.

The effects of colonialism can be seen quite clearly in this map. Many people used either English, French, Spanish or Portuguese, and that’s not a coincidence.
