Pretty sure that was FAT. Whatever the case, you don't need to defeag modern windows anymore

Double thanks! I think so too!

I've got an Ayaneo Next. Had it for about a year... I fucking love it. 11/10 highly recommend.

I've not used a Steam Deck though, so couldn't compare them, but from what I've seen in videos of the steam deck, I can't say I feel like I'm missing anything, except maybe all the built in stats.

Embrace the void

Kidding. I hear you. I don't have facebook/insta/WhatsApp but my partner does, and it's painfully obvious how much we'd miss out on if she didn't

I mean, they both show a callous disregard for the fragility of life on this planet, and a keen disinterest in anything but short term convenience and comfort? Oh and profit, can't forget about MONEY

Easy. ~~Ban~~ Defederate every company.

FTFY. It's FOSS. We can't stop them from spinning up their own instances (See: Threads) but that doesn't mean we have to play nicely with them.

Edit: Fuck it, I can't get the ~~strikethrough~~ to work.

You know you can see who's downvoting right? It's a lurker account with "Texas" in the username. Make of that what you will.

I don't agree with your first two paragraphs, but I 1000% agree with the last one.

Ultimately the vast VAST majority of ALL emissions come from sources outside of most people's sphere of influence anyway. The Steel industry for example is dirty AF, and yet for some reason they get a hall pass

This is always used as an argument against going electric, but it's flawed for a few reasons.

1st, that 94% doesn't hold everywhere. I live in NZ. We're at about 80% renewable for grid energy.

2nd, the type of people who can afford, and choose to go electric for environmental reasons, are the same people who are likely to be installing solar panels and other renewables at the property.

3rd, even you have pointed out that your 94% figure is well out of date... because most governments (Except a few derps) are trying to increase the percentage of renewable energy in their grids. I'm not sure where you are, but assuming you're in the US, it's actually 78% now, and 60% for the UK

4th, the cars themselves generate power through solar, and regenerative breaking. No, it's probably not enough to keep you running without plugging in to the grid, but it is a further reduction.

There are environmental issues related to electric cars, but they're in the manufacturing. Not in the reliance on grid energy. Assuming that the car survives it's full lifecycle, even only relying on grid power with their current percentages of renewables, the overall impact is STILL a net reduction in emissions.

There are plenty non-environmental reasons for going electric too

TL;DR: Ye, nah, the grid energy argument doesn't hold water. Love it or hate it, electric cars are the future.

Not any kind of expert, but this seems wrong to me. My understanding is that heliocentrism vs geocentrism is about the whole solar system, ie: the same frame of reference.

So if you were launching a satellite, yes, you would use earth as your reference point but that is NOT geocentrism. You would never use a geocentric model. Ever. Not these days anyway.

Again though, I'm not an expert so maybe don't take this as law
