Thanks for your response. It’s a shame this is a trend but perhaps fluxer will add that feature or it can be formed with one

Oooh. Thanks for the tip! I just tested it and it’s great, other than being slow which is understandable. Is it internet searchable? Or a walled garden?

As a Xennial, I still don’t get it because, I guess, I embraced being the weirdo at school and hung out with the weirdos. I was bullied for wearing secondhand uniforms, not wearing doc martens, not having the backpack that everyone has, never having a bf, not talking l33t etc, etc…

I say, take that fall. Embrace destruction and delete the apps. Be the weird analogue kid.

But then again, maybe Australian kids weren’t massive arseholes.

Any age, really. You can introduce the topic gradually through learning about biology. Pollination of plants, for example. Or bird mating rituals. At primary school, we had an egg incubator where we could watch the live growth of a chicken fetus. Make it clinical and normal rather than this forbidden mysterious thing.

High schoolers should definitely be taught about safe sex and disease prevention. Also, consent and how to deal with unwanted attention, or even what to do after rape, dealing with shame etc. Heck, talk about masturbation and how it effects the body and mind.

It all needs to be laid out on the table so, in the future, these kids grow up into well informed adults and we can forget about data harvesting for surveillance.

At this point, it’s probably cheaper and more effective to have proper sex education in schools…

It might just be my Australian English.

When he gets snapped out of his cult induced mind, he’s in for a hell of a time realising that he killed his own daughter in the name of a pedophile rapist.

But China isn’t a crony capitalist country like America. The money is set up to always favour the government over there.

Things are the way they are in places like America because the government exists because of the billionaires (bribery, lobbying etc). In places like China, the billionaires exist because of the government (surveillance, prison sentences etc). This is most likely because Xi is driven by ideology, not greed.

The only way for the billionaires to take over China at the moment is to come together and start their own army to go to war. No way that’s going to happen because wars are a drain on capital.

The difference between Chinese billionaires and American billionaires is that the Chinese ones are owned by the government. To set up any company in China requires part government ownership of, I think, 15%.

There is no way the billionaires are calling the shots, ever, while Xi is in power. As if he would allow what’s happening in America, happen in China.

Remember what happened to the CEO of Alibaba? Jack Ma? When he became rich enough to potentially take over the country?

Fantastic! Just switched my main PC to Cachy OS the other day from Linux Mint (previously W10) because I started to find it too restrictive. Tried out Hyprland for a bit and it was a lot of fun but I don’t have the time to fully customise everything, so went to Plasma. I’m saving Hyprland for when I retire.

My laptop is still running Mint Cinnamon (dual boot W11) but I’m contemplating on another OS that’s more friendly to Unity and Unreal game development. Any suggestions? I keep getting burst compiler errors in Unity, even on the latest LTS.

I’m inclined to believe that it’s because you can simply bribe him to change his mind. He’s a convenient idiot puppet with power and you can tug on any string to get him to do things you want him to. It’s probably why TACO. There’s probably a bribery match going on in the background.

It he was a zealot of his beliefs, rigid in his thinking, I believe he would be put down. But he’s so malleable, so it’s more useful to people that have the option to assassinate to bribe instead.

I just started to use Hyprland yesterday after switching to Cachy OS. Was previously Linux Mint cinnamon. I don’t know why but I’m kind of enjoying the thrill.

Ah connected to mains. There would be a way to add a driver in between but will require an electrician and it’s just not worth it if you can just put it to high output.

Very interesting! My pet peeve is glare and LEDS produce an ungodly amount of glare and I absolutely hated them in car headlights. I’ve never heard of anyone irritated by hz that high before. The more you know. Thanks for clarifying.

Ah. That’s a driver issue again. The dimmer is adjusting the voltage, and it the voltage dips too low, the LED chips don’t have enough juice to run. Hence the flickering. If there is a driver attached to your LEDs, you might want to consider a 0-10V driver or one that specifically says flicker free.

EldoLED drivers are excellent for this but costly because they’re commercial grade.

That just means the driver is not flicker free, not the LED board itself, and there are flicker free drivers out there but they’re just not available for the average consumer.

But visible flicker? On an LED that’s just emitting light? I’ve never seen that before. Maybe it’s a UK and Europe thing.

Wait, I’m a specialist lighting designer and i haven’t heard about this < 100hz LED is bad stuff. From my experience, frequencies at around 50hz or lower is what usually causes eye strain/headaches etc.LEDs are typically 60hz.

I’m guessing the >100hz crowd just need to go outside and touch grass for a few hours a day.

Baby Button-Eyes, what are you doing posessed at this hour?

Yep. I really really want Waterfox on IOS but I’ve settled for Qwant. It’s not bad.
