And Canadian and Australian firefighters have less of an incentive to help out this time, given err recent events.

Yes, shallow and pedantic.

The proton logs are fairly inscrutable, and probably aren’t helpful if it’s a driver issue.

There’s a big discussion on the Proton issue tracker that may include your problem.

It doesn’t actually matter. It should have been a landslide in favour of Harris, and if there was cheating it would have just reduced her margin of victory.

The fact it was close enough to work (if it occurred) is an indictment of a significant proportion of the population.

Looking at the specs:

Positives:

• Higher refresh rate (with VRR) and slightly larger screen (so smaller bezel), higher resolution.
• Hall effect joysticks
• Possibly better speakers

Negatives:

• IPS instead of OLED display (but a good quality one at least)
• Only one touchpad, and its tiny
• Seems to be only 2 back buttons instead of 4 on the deck

Neutral / unknown:

• Long term support compared to official Valve devices (hopefully Valve is handling this for third party devices similar to Bazzite).
• Price seems to be the similar to the Deck OLED model (depending on region)

Going by the Verge review of the Windows version of the hardware, it seems the SOC of this isn’t that powerful (and may even be outperformed by the Deck when rendering at 720p on both systems with some games): https://www.theverge.com/reviews/617613/lenovo-legion-go-s-review-feels-good-plays-bad

They did see framerates improve with Bazzite, so presumably the Steam OS release will have similar improvements.

And you’d think a self-perceived business genius would be able to significantly increase the value of said purchase, not lose billions.

I think there is some postprocessing but yeah it uses Bing. I simply meant that SearXG uses its results (and Bing too for that matter). So it’s layers all the way down.

I’ll add that it’s a meta-search engine rather than something that does the actual searching itself. That’s still useful, but you’re limited by the quality of the upstream search engines (including google, duckduckgo, qwant, etc).

The gain from self-hosting is that you have more control over the results, and can do things like redirect social media sites to privacy friendly alternatives, and create your own bangs (or even add your own custom search engines).

Probably not a massive privacy gain though, although if you host the instance behind a privacy VPN queries won’t be associated with your IP at least.

Calibre is used as a server all the time, see calibre-web.

calibre-web is technically not Calibre and is written and maintained by different people, although it does use the Calibre database (and I believe it must be created with desktop Calibre initially). But it’s a good option and I highly recommend it.

you just load your books from Calibre (or right through USB if you’re hardcore for some reason) and you’re basically off to the races.

There’s also an OPDS server option with calibre-web that you can use to load books from if you’re using koreader.

You can also use the Kobo server replacement option with calibre-web although I personally couldn’t get it to work at the time I tried it. But this will give you a sync option that works like the official Kobo server which is quite nice.

Imagine being such a miserable human being that you hold a grudge for 30 years over an unsuccessful business deal.

The Cigarette Century goes into an aspect of this, and how easily the public were manipulated into consuming cigarettes en masse. And the echoes of the same tactics that are used today.

They don’t seem particularly bright but it seems they’ve done well for themselves in life.

This is such a dangerous combination. Success combined with stupidity seems to breed arrogant people that have never had a deep thought in their entire lives (nor do they believe they need to, given their success). Usually these types defer to some sort of homespun “common sense” no matter the topic at hand.

The scientist in Philadelphia signaled that he believes Kennedy, a longtime anti-vaccine activist, is responsible for the NIH’s turn against mRNA research.

The FT source seems to be behind a paywall, and this article seems to be jumping between a bunch of possibly unrelated issues (focusing on young adult cognitive decline but looking at whole population reading rates and numeracy ability).

We don’t have to exaggerate and make shit up to justify how we feel. That’s what the MAGA fucktards do.

I’m not making shit up, this is just my experience dealing with academia (and not in the US to be clear). But thanks for informing me that the situation is different at Columbia University.

It’s usually vapid, amoral MBAs that handle the admin side that push this shit not the academics doing the actual work.

There’s also an election coming up in Australia and the position of the conservative opposition is to give Trump whatever he wants. So contarianism is alive and well there.

It’s still in early access, to be clear. Looks like it’s already in a good state, however.

And as a respected media personality I can help round up others so they may toil in your underground sugar maple syrup caves.
