Mulroney scrapped the full conversion because it was Trudeau Sr that implemented it. Can’t have anything nice ;)

That’s assuming both devices can successfully negotiate. Does not always happen.

Try using the 1.4 cable with your 2.1 devices.

One could quibble over whether that is forward compatibility or backwards compatibility. (It depends if you define HDMI to mean the cable or the standard…) But the 2.1 compatible device will probably just silently fail without any hint to the consumer of what the issue is. Or, if you’re really very lucky, you’ll get some sort of degraded option.

Anyway

I’d wager there is a leadership race within two months, and she is positioned for that now.

I really like Freeland. This is her rage-quitting – “you can’t fire me, I quit!” due to the Liberals resorting to desperate measures to try to salvage their approval ratings. It also positions her outside the leadership structure should a leadership convention occur. I really doubt she runs for leadership though, as the next election is likely a guaranteed party implosion. But it could separate her enough for the leadership race after this one.

She is such a level headed centrist. But the right fucking frotha at the mouth whenever she does anything because she is a woman or something.

Fuck HDMI and their stupid standards that aren’t backwards compatible. Fuck their DRM supporting asses. These updates are usually just an excuse to close the analogue loophole for a month or a year, until it is broken again.

It’s okay, they’re towing them outside the environment

Oh hi, this is me too. Since 1.0alpha ;)

Must be Canada. They’re sort of threading the legal loopholes for drug advertising

That’s not a lot. Three to five F35 equivalents, depending on configuration.

It’s too bad we don’t have details about the other company involved that they were targeting. Seems like the sort of thing that could rapidly escalated – blinding all of your competitors birds on purpose. If those birds are in Geosynch, you don’t even need to be in the country to do it – just same longitude, approximately.

Only if your hockey players play for our national team.

Their website speaks corporatese. Not immediately clear what their business model is.

The list is great! But it doesn’t really tell us which ones are actively developed. Running historical DEs is fun sometimes. For example, LXDE doesn’t really see a lot of development compared to its successor, LXQt. But once again shows the the Arch Wiki is the best ;)

I guess people do occasionally compile KDE 1.x just to see if it still runs on modern systems (it does, but obviously some underlying things have changed over the years, like the audio and graphics stacks). But that isn’t the same as being actively developed :)

Full agree. As a geoscientist, I am of the strong opinion that we should use more rocks in decorative contexts ;)

This depends on what you’re optimizing for. If you are optimizing for total energy captured per square metre, then you’re right about the benches.

But suppose you have a sufficient flux even with some areas being covered so you aren’t bothered by the shadows. Wouldn’t it be aesthetically superior to have uniform tile types? Or would you prefer they micromanage the tile placement such that the tiles below the bench shadows are different?

Anyway, I think it is a good idea. Better than the silly solar roadways crap.

I’ll add, they’re rerunning the Omega Expedition from 27th Nov - 11th Dec – this expedition is a fantastic entry point for returning players – it’s basically the fast track if you’re starting a new save.

I’m a huge NMS fan (bordering on apologist). Given the hundreds of hours I have in it, I’m always surprised when it pulls me back in.

Like, “it’s the weekend, I’ll just log in and grab some quicksilver missions and… Oh hey, new patch – an expedition is starting… Why have I been sitting here for 7 hours…”

It’s also super chill when you want it to be. Presuming that you’re late game, the only truly rare resource left to harvest is quicksilver. So I log in, trigger some fleet expeditions, visit my colony and kill a few drones that are harassing it, harvest a few resources. Maybe I decide to try to be a completionist at one of the many many side elements of the game – like building a base for each minable resource, or collecting one of every ship part (ship hunting is fun!), or what is this egg synthesis thing (oops, there goes another weekend).

It reminds me of playing post-game pokemon sometimes. There’s no reason to still be there – you beat the game, right? But the pokedex needs filling and, oh, let’s breed this rare special move onto an unlikely critter just cause and…

If you’re able to make your own fun, rather than just following a plot, then NMS is an amazing sandbox.

Someone enlighten me. How many active desktop projects are there currently? (Not just window managers…)

KDE Plasma, Trinity (is it active? Fork of KDE 3.5)

Gnome, Mate, Cinnamon (fork all the things!), or “reskins” like Unity or Budgie?

LXQt, Xfce… Is enlightenment still active as a project?

Does anyone use Deepin – appears to be a partial fork of KDE (kwin, etc.) with new desktop environment built around it rather than use Plasma.

Or Pantheon (Vala+GTK3?).

Cosmic is from the ground up, recent and active I guess.

Missing anything?
