I’ve seen it go down in some cases on VPNs, so it could be a matter of time (or they’ll find a solution again and the back and forth will just continue).

Youtube isn’t just a thing people use to waste time, but a source of educational content. That actually matters, and there isn’t a good alternative to much of it.
That being said, I agree that people could at least drop it (or reduce their usage) if they are just using it as a time waster.
What headphones in particular are you using? Because with standard AD2P you’re limited to mSBC at best, but maybe your device has some proprietary implementation.
You could try with a hardware dongle, but no guarantee that will work either.
At least in the long run it should be fixed by Bluetooth LE audio, but I’m not sure if the Deck properly supports it yet, and it requires new audio devices as well.
Pulseaudio has been pretty solid for a while now which is what the steamdeck uses from what i can see online.
It uses Pipewire, but it has pretty close to full API compatibility with Pulseaudio (and Jack) so most applications will “just work” and you get lower and more stable latency in return.
Humans don’t work this way, especially knowledge workers. We need breaks to function at our best, and constantly doing work for 8 hours (or more) is not it. Not to mention the health issues that come from constantly sitting.
I do about the same amount overall I just don’t get around to it as quickly.
That’s the important part. Who gives a fuck when and how you finish your work, as long as you do. We can only be productive for so many hours a day anyway.
I understand that trucks and SUVs are more dangerous to pedestrians due to increases in hood height and reduction in curvature (along with reduced visibility). Is this not correct?
As someone who already has a Deck, I’m more keen on this. The Index was very expensive and only had a limited run. Mind you, the Index is expensive in general and I hope they aim for Quest level prices this time around.
This is regarding the NZ government’s plan to introduce higher speed limits. Unsurprisingly, the conservative party is in power at the moment.
paperless-ngx, after having to turn my apartment upside down to find some paper documents.
Developed countries typically have lower birth rates than undeveloped countries.
That is more to do with education and women’s liberation (including contraception), than finances. Which I suspect is still the predominant reason that birth rates are dropping, with finances just a secondary reason.
The NoDerivatives part is concerning. Is he trying to prevent forks?
Unsurprisingly, a former candidate for the Liberal (conservative) party: https://web.archive.org/web/20220518064350/https://cityofsydneyliberals.webflow.io/candidate/sam-danieli
Perhaps he was too crazy even for them.
and a French study which found that scalp hair tends to whorl in a clockwise direction, though less so in the southern hemisphere.
We better get the preeminent scientist, Bart Simpson, to actually confirm this.
Online scam artists tend to do it, along with random emphasis. It just makes the person using it seem illiterate to me, but we’re not the target market.
Think dick pills, pick up artists, conspiracy theorists, and so on.
I’d be happy with 2010 era desktop Linux level of support. It doesn’t need to get everybody to switch, just needs to be good enough for my needs.
I only learned to touch type properly because I was bored one summer and went cold turkey and learned Colemak. Before that, I had this weird pseudo touch typing technique with some keys being touch typed and others not, and because of the muscle memory, it was difficult to change.
Batteries are likely to degrade over time, meaning you’ll eventually end up with a worthless ear bud on the left or right and the only solution will be to throw them out. These things are often pretty bad scoring on repairability metrics, and I can’t even blame the companies producing them here because they’re so small.
I’m hoping these start getting recycled for their batteries, like the EU has plans to do.
Anyway, I feel full size wireless headphones are somewhat less problematic as they have bigger batteries, and you can always fall back to wired use (in most cases). But the proprietary app concerns are definitely valid.
An e-bike might be a better option if you have many hills and are carrying a lot of weight, if not a proper e-cargo bike. But for the former you need to be careful about how adaptable it is to racks and fenders etc, since some are not great.
And the software ecosystem, much of which they have funded/developed. In 2015, there was no proton, no DXVK, no vkd3d, and most important, no Vulkan.
