One would think there are better ways of achieving this. How about we start to actually make solutions that make price conciousness easier? Actually enable the ”free market” people are raving about.
Start mandating open data standards, make the companies publish realtime pricing information, allow people to build solutions that make consumers aware they’re overpaying.
Fuel stations would be a good example of this, my phone could notify me that the pump price is 10% lower 4 minutes away, if it only had access to that data.
Pretty sure what they actually need here is a strapping young Akita who goes on a quest across Japan to gather the strongest fighting dogs to form an army and push back the bear menace once and for all.
This is about protecting the entrenched players in the OS games; Microsoft, Google and Apple.
The likely end play for all this is the erosion of personal computing so they can rent (and therefore control) all the compute available to you, so you don’t get uppity and think of running your own AI, which they believe will be as integral to everyday life as the internet is today.
You joke, but this is actually how it works in places.
As recently as 2015 we paid some % of all storage media sales (think HDDs, nvmes, flash drives, anything that can hold data really) to our RIAA equivalent to ”compensate for private copying”.
Now it’s no longer baked into the prices, but they are paid directly by the government, as in through taxation.
”Akshually” Hitler wasn’t elected, he was appointed by the president who was pressured by industry magnates, the tech billionaire parallel of that time. That isn’t to say he didn’t have support, he barely lost the election, but he wasn’t actually elected to lead the nation.
The US is one Reichstags fire away from going down the same road.
Boy is this a take and a half. So instead of asking a price they think is fair, they should ask more, and arbitrarily reduce that on occasion to manipulate you into buying the product through FOMO, and that’s consumer friendly?
I have a very similar setup, but rather than mirroring I have KDE shortcuts that invoke 2 very basic scripts that swap between desktop and livingroom display layouts using kscreen-doctor. It also swaps audio output between HDMI and my audio interface.
Works very well, much better than a similar setup I had on Windows with DisplayFusion. The only thing I have to do is hit the shortcut when sitting down at the desk or the sofa, everything else just works.
Getting it to actually work with games is still a crapshoot, though.
Plasma 6.5 has broken tonemapping both with gamescope and proton wayland (which breaks a bunch of other things to boot). The fix was merged just a couple of weeks ago.
…literally all of those are just things you do if you’re participating in society. And I say this with a literal top 1% salary. I’m sorry, but if that reflects the values of your husband, he kinda sucks.
Now with the moral grandstanding out of the way, to answer your question: once I’ve worn holes holes through a pair of jeans, I cut them up for the fabric which I use to patch/fix other pairs of jeans. I then use those patched clothes for things like yard and renovation work.
It makes sense once you consider that these numbers are the manufacturers self reporting. That means they aren’t comparable, so drawing conclusions like ”manufacturer X has better batteries than manufacturer Y” from these numbers is silly.
”If you have Finnish ancestry or a close connection with Finland, you may be granted a residence permit in Finland on this basis. This means that you are considered a returnee (paluumuuttaja). Receiving a residence permit depends on the directness and closeness of your Finnish ancestry. No other reason, such as work or study, is required in order to receive the permit.”
Not an expert but I would imagine grandparents is considered pretty close and direct.
They really have you all wrapped around their fingers, don’t they? Your democracy is literally on fire around you and the best both ”sides” can do is bicker whose fault it is.
Not addressing the rest of the comment, but ”world leaders should discuss everything behind closed doors” is a dangerously shortsighted take. You do realize their job is to represent you, right? How do you think you can verify they are doing that if you are not allowed to see and hear what’s being said?

Also, if a grandma had wheels she would be a bike.

Doesn’t this require you to also be on plasma 6.4?
Using proton wayland also breaks steam input, which can be deal breaker.

Actually very true.

Based on the ears I’m guessing Umamusume
It’s a real question. This is from the Finnish edition of who wants to be a millionaire.
It’s because the other cats might actually be a threat, whereas the furless elongated ones are just terribly incompetent.
