Funny you'd say that, as we actually get what we call "Nosferatu spiders" in Germany quite often in our house. I don't really mind them though, the occasional mosquito is much more annoying. We have nets on some of the windows though.

Basically keeping all the windows open through the night and closing them in the morning. I also sleep upstairs directly below the roof during the colder months, but move to the ground floor in summer, where it gets much less hot.

Yeah, that's what I had in mind as well. Of course there would be no voting with vetos over a nuclear strike. It would be an immediate response to a nuclear launch towards our territory, nothing else. There shouldn't ever be an option for a first strike in my opinion.

No. If anything, EU nukes could be something to consider. But I don't see why Germany specifically should have them. That might lead to calls for every other European country to get them too and that could just as easily be a security risk as an advantage, with single countries possibly "going rogue", like Hungary. In the hands of the EU they should be fairly safe.

That may well be true. This method certainly could be used for deanonymization though, so I think preventing it would be a good idea. If this kind of attack hasn't happened yet, even better, as we can stop it before there was any harm done.

China is a supporter of China. They'll readily drop Russia in a heartbeat if the advantages outweigh the advantages of supporting them (cheap oil and gas). I don't think they ideologically care about supporting Russia. Historically, the relations between them were never very good.

I think everyone should get banned from X. Consider yourself lucky to be rid of the site.

But also, yes, I think your ban would have been justified on any other platform as well.

It's insane, but the US might be more aligned with Russia now than China is. I've been thinking for the last few months that China is really in a position to gain quite a lot of soft power and geopolitical clout if they present themselves as a sane alternative to the US in the Ukraine negotiations. But Europe should be very careful, as China will only have its own interest in mind.

According to the logs, it's trying to use your laptop's integrated Intel chip instead of your nvidia GPU. You'll have to set it to use your actual GPU, not sure where to do that in Garuda Linux though.

Elmex is owned by Colgate.

I wouldn't say they're "crawling back to Steam", not like they've ever left. This is clearly for their new Handheld/Big Screen UI. They're seeing the success of Steam Deck and Steam OS and are trying to build a competitive experience on Windows.

Cool. Then it's something I'll consider but I'll definitely wait to see the Deckard first.
