There isn't always a catch. Governance is often based on compromise and corruption runs rampant, so often there will be shitty things thrown in to appease corporate donors and conservative politicians, but sometimes the government just does something good without also doing something bad.

They were using Proton, so most likely X11 as their windowing system. I'm guessing they were using the default distro kernels as of November 15, 2023 (when they ran the benchmark), but I don't think the article said for sure.

I found the original study in the article, it's in German. Here it is (Linux Gaming: Test Results and Conclusion), it looks like most Linux distros have worse lows and frame times than Windows 11, other than Arch Linux which seems to be a tossup.

Repealing that act should be one of the largest priorities of leftists in the United States. I wish people talked about it more.

I'm glad to hear it, this will make the mobile version much more usable.

It seems like a difficult thing to regulate. I hope that this can be a starting point that will be potentially expanded later as needed, but we'll see.

What's currently happening is that advertisers are pulling their ads from X/Twitter because Elon replied "This is the full truth" to a neonazi posting the Jewish question. I think if this is censorship, it's a form I agree with. What advertiser wants to be associated with nazis?

Indeed. Swamps and bogs experience significantly less decay than other biomes, a dead tree will just sink into the bog and stay there a long time.

Of course I own a car, you need to own one to get anywhere where I live. That doesn't mean I have to support car infrastructure or be against public transit. I advocate for making public transit services more common and easier to use, and I would use public transit if my supported policies were implemented.

I would be inclined to agree with you if they didn't get rid of Premium Light. I think charging users for avoiding ads is completely reasonable, we live in a Capitalist country and video hosting isn't cheap. Even still, axing Premium Light shows a desire to screw over users in order to achieve more profit, which in my mind makes YouTube scummy.

Yes. Making videos is a job and the creators need money to eat and remain housed, it's reasonable for them to want to be compensated for their work.

That's a really cool script. Does it work for posts/comments that haven't federated to your instance yet?
