Red panda because Dirt Owl said so.

  • Busan is a beautiful city

    Jump

  • Exactly that, it’s fine walking around any individual neighbourhood but the neighbourhoods are separate by quite a lot of distance.

  • Busan is a beautiful city

    Jump

  • I like mountains and sea and city, it’s a really cool combination. My only complaint is that I would say it’s not very walkable between districts.

  • Busan is a beautiful city

    Jump

  • My favourite city in South Korea.

    If you haven’t already, there is a really nice coastal walk from the Oryukdo skywalk, to the Baengnyeonsa Temple with great views back to Haeundae beach. I also recommend orienting yourself to the cities geography from Hwangnyeongsan Mountain observatory. Really cool at sunset. You’re right too, there is so much excellent food in Busan!

    Busan is good.

  • We tortured some folks

    Jump

  • Reminder that they only released the torture images featuring the adult male prisoners, because they feared the backlash if the other torture victims photos were released.

  • Why Do We Keep Fretting About the Future of the Full English?

    Jump

  • I wasn’t aware we were… ought I be? I’m not sure I’ve got the time in my schedule to really throw myself into fretting about another thing to a level I’d be proud of.

  • I hosted a baked beans tasting party and here are the results

    Jump

  • Now this is the content I look forward to!

    May have to try Sainsbury’s beans soon.

  • Righting the World's Wrongs

    Jump

  • I’m going back and changing the convention of current to flow in the same direction as the flow of electrons.

  • Graffiti

    Jump

  • Advertising is the graffiti of the rich. The poor get fined for tagging a wall, while corporations are paid to deface our entire visual landscape. It's the same act of vandalism, just with a budget that buys legitimacy.

  • Soup

    Jump

  • Salad is way too big a lot of that region should be soup. If you give me a bowl of 50/50 water and veg I’m calling that soup not a salad.

  • Nightreign on Mint is really framey compared to Windows

    Jump

  • I have never used mint so I can’t speak to its gaming performance or optimisation tricks but I would be tempted to try out with a more bleeding edge philosophy (like Bazzite or Catchy or Nobara). They’re likely to have newer drivers and kernel etc. If that solves your problem - great!

  • Wood-burning stoves to face partial ban in Labour’s updated environment plan

    Jump

  • I don’t think the problem is necessarily with a farmer in the highlands having a wood burner to get through the frequent power outages in severe weather. The problem is people in towns and cities running log burners as a cozy treat for themselves - but ruining the air quality for their neighbours. And yes this is a significant issue wood burning stoves are the single largest source of pm2.5s

  • Junoir vs Senior

    Jump

  • Yes and no, you can spec them as high as you’d like and apple bills you through the nose for upgrades. But if you get a base model air ($1000), iMac ($1300) or a Mac mini (~$600) they’re some of the best deals in technology. You can’t buy a pc with equivalent cpu and graphics power for the same money. Really powerful machines, sip battery, great screens, great keyboards. It’s impossible to get a new Windows machine as good and that’s before you factor in the Apple build quality and hardware longevity. I have 2 Mac laptops going strong from 2011 and 2013 respectively.

    People who moan about Apple pricing are right - you can spend silly money on Apple stuff, but you don’t have to, and some of their value offerings are really very good.

  • Junoir vs Senior

    Jump

  • Where?

  • ‘He used to say things like “Hitler was right”’: Farage faces more allegations of racist behaviour at school

    Jump

  • I think this will make his followers like him more not less.

  • YouTube experiments with messaging and video sharing inside its app

    Jump

  • Google just can’t help adding chat functionality nobody wants. Bonus points if it can kill something people did use to add half the functionality to something new.

  • Oracle’s astonishing $300bn OpenAI deal is now valued at minus $74bn

    Jump

  • yeah a centi-billionaire. Very good guy I’m sure. He seems to burn through wives too… which is a red flag.

    Anyway, I wish all billionaires a happy

  • Oracle’s astonishing $300bn OpenAI deal is now valued at minus $74bn

    Jump

  • Oracle turning something to shit? Open AI being a Ponzi scheme? I’m not exactly shocked at these revelations.

  • Valve says it’s still waiting for better chips to power Steam Deck 2

    Jump

  • A retrofit pocket flip 2 running steam os would be pretty dope

  • Valve's new Steam Machine and Steam Frame and implications for Linux

    Jump

  • I would suggest the support this has from valve that means it works great out the box does indeed make it novel.

    It will move the needle far more than like 2 hobbyists flashing niche hardware. Nobody cares about that because it’s so small scale. Nobody will put in the support for that user base. Conversely the valve frame is going to be a mass market product that will be in the hands of loads of people, so issues and problems will get fixed, software will be optimised and if the install base is large enough it will be targeted with new software and features.

    That’s the novelty. It’s likely going to change things.
