Oh I forgot about WiFi 6E. Suuuuuper good for streaming from your PC.

Pretty amazing what humans can accomplish when they want to work together. Especially when the incentive is valuable stuff underground.

Beyond cuts to funding, an article a few months ago mentioned cattle smuggling into Mexico from further south bringing the larva with them.

Graphically intense games can be good too, especially in bed, streaming from a PC in the other room.

No no, Brazil, you’re failing to understand how hegemony works. You see, we aren’t colonizing you, you’re independent. No imperialism here. But if you do something we don’t like…well, let’s just say you should do what we like.

An etched screen protector can help, but isn’t as nice as the native etched glass. The underlying screen is the same OLED as the 512GB, I believe.

The OLED model is also just better. Got a few minor upgrades other than the screen. Faster RAM, better battery life, slightly lighter. Maybe some other changes.

You can get an etched glass screen protector that emulates the effect. The one I got isn’t as good as the base screen (which is essentially perfect), it has a very small amount of color scrambling if you look really closely due to the nature of the etching, but it’s not bad and I got used to it quickly.

That’s fair, but I can tell you from experience there’s no way it’s going to fall out during the lifetime of that elastic. I say this because it’s mildly annoying to extract it (which, admittedly, isn’t an issue with a dedicated pocket).

I think not having room for the charger is a valid complaint.

It fits great in the elastic-covered spot on the back, especially if you use something like this.

Get the 1TB with the etched screen if you’re considering it. It looks fantastic, and works great when not indoors. Like, in a car or airplane for example. I was debating between it and the 512GB because I often prefer a glossy screen, but the effect is small yet mighty.

Also, get Moonlight on your Steam Deck and Apollo on your PC. You can stream games from your PC with Apollo to Moonlight at much higher quality than Steam’s own streaming system. I send 1440p to my deck so after chroma subsampling I get fully defined 1280x720 pixels. It looks significantly better than just sending 1280x720 or 1280x800 to the Deck.

And finally, pick up Geometry Wars 3. It’s like the perfect pick-up-and-put-down game for the Deck.

Because Peter Thiel likes him.

I dunno, if it were Hbomberguy talking about YouTube plagiarism for four hours I’d watch it.

Sure he did, he’s only in a cassock. Usually you’d also have a surplice or a chasuble for a wedding. And no stole? He’s totally being wacky!

I don’t seem to have this problem on piefed.social, is it possible it’s instance-related?

I didn’t say any of that. Just agreeing that he isn’t in the top of “richest CEOs in the world.”

Reading comprehension is important.

Yeah he’s a recent addition to the billionaire basket.

In Michigan, it was necessary. We are able to make amendments to our state constitution via ballot proposal.

The legislature in Michigan had been Republican controlled for forty years. In 2018, a ballot proposal removing redistricting from the legislature and handing it to an independent bipartisan commission shared the ballot with another proposal legalizing weed. The legalizing weed proposal really brought out the vote, and so we voters enshrined in our state’s constitution that districting couldn’t be done by the legislature.

Following the new districting lines, power shifted to the Democrats (again, for the first time in 40 years). We’d had plenty of Democratic governors and a liberal-leaning state court system, but the legislature was gerrymandered to fuck so we were stuck. Now we have a legislature that represents the state’s population much better. It won’t always be Democrat, it won’t always be Republican, but it also won’t be extremely far right because that would be political suicide in a swing state where gerrymandering is illegal. This leads to compromise, which leads to slow but inevitable progress.

Voters should get to choose their representatives. Representatives shouldn’t get to choose their voters.
