I think in an ideal world, I’d set speed limits to be higher than they are now - say, (spitballing) 100mph for interstates.

I suspect many cars on the road can’t even be driven safely at that speed, and then you have to account for the driving ability of the average person.

You’d have more cases where there are high speed differentials too with some only going 60mph, and others going 100mph, increasing the amount of passing.

My gut tells me that, just due to the relatively sparse density of cars, rural driving is already significantly safer, and if you DO drive like shit, you’re likely to only injure yourself.

Fatalities are typically more common in rural areas (proportional to population). Likely because of higher speed roads and higher drink driving rates in rural areas. And maybe due to truck drivers and people driving long distances driving sleep deprived.

You’re right that streets should be designed such that low speeds feel inevitable and not something you have to think about, and that they should serve one purpose and not two (no stroads). And highways should completely bypass cities, because the idea that they should cut through them is just absurd.

Where are the cameras catching tailgaters, people who don’t signal, people cutting others off, people cruising in the left and not passing, people blatantly running stop signs, people texting or doing makeup?

The technology to do this is more challenging then detecting speeding. Red-light cameras are also very common, because they are relatively easy to implement. I believe there is some tech for texting while driving at least, but I’m not sure how automated it is.

Podcasting is the better space to get going.

Joe Rogan and other right-wing cranks.

Also tictoc.

A significant part of the rise of fascism in Europe among young people.

Anyway I do like podcasts, and it’s full of good content (and so is tiktok presumably) but neither are lacking right-wing content.

Worrying about the water use of almonds when animal agriculture is right there is absurd in any case.

Turnout is typically very poor amongst young people. It will be interesting to see how much young people vote, and the gender breakdown. Because if turnout is consistent across gender, then any of those gains will be wiped out by young women leaning strongly progressive (or at least, liberal).

And you want to win by a huge margin so they can actually implement good policies, and not have to barter with Republicans and the likes of Manchin.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but those documents were stolen in DC, not Florida. Sure there could be “both”, but seriously.

I believe the idea was that if he was convicted in Florida by a Republican biased jury, there would be fewer claims of it being rigged or whatever. Seems stupid in hindsight since Cannon ended up being assigned the case.

And the software ecosystem, much of which they have funded/developed. In 2015, there was no proton, no DXVK, no vkd3d, and most important, no Vulkan.

It’s a reverse-cycle AC if you’ve heard the term. Basically, an AC that can can run in reverse, heating the room.

It’s the most efficient form of heating and cooling that we have, since it doesn’t create energy, but instead moves it (so its efficiency is greater than 100%).

I’d guess it was an attempt to keep the title succinct, then not proofing it properly. In any case, always read the article before commenting as titles are frequently misleading (intentional or not).

I’ve seen it go down in some cases on VPNs, so it could be a matter of time (or they’ll find a solution again and the back and forth will just continue).

Youtube isn’t just a thing people use to waste time, but a source of educational content. That actually matters, and there isn’t a good alternative to much of it.

That being said, I agree that people could at least drop it (or reduce their usage) if they are just using it as a time waster.

What headphones in particular are you using? Because with standard AD2P you’re limited to mSBC at best, but maybe your device has some proprietary implementation.

You could try with a hardware dongle, but no guarantee that will work either.

At least in the long run it should be fixed by Bluetooth LE audio, but I’m not sure if the Deck properly supports it yet, and it requires new audio devices as well.

Pulseaudio has been pretty solid for a while now which is what the steamdeck uses from what i can see online.

It uses Pipewire, but it has pretty close to full API compatibility with Pulseaudio (and Jack) so most applications will “just work” and you get lower and more stable latency in return.

And Dijonn mustard!

Humans don’t work this way, especially knowledge workers. We need breaks to function at our best, and constantly doing work for 8 hours (or more) is not it. Not to mention the health issues that come from constantly sitting.

I do about the same amount overall I just don’t get around to it as quickly.

That’s the important part. Who gives a fuck when and how you finish your work, as long as you do. We can only be productive for so many hours a day anyway.

The drivers for your card needs to support the required extensions, and the hardware needs to support the particular codecs as well. So if you don’t have already have encoding/decoding support for the given codec with OGL etc, this won’t add it most likely.

The main benefit is that application devs won’t need to add multiple hardware decoding/encoding APIs, and can just target Vulkan. Cross platform support in particular is currently a mess due to the different APIs on Windows/Linux/Mac, so this will simplify things greatly. Eventually, driver devs will be able to just support Vulkan too, but that’s a long way off.
