Weimar Republic vibes. Will conservatives think they can control fascists and that they “won’t be that bad”? Hopefully they come to their senses, but I’m not holding my breath.

It doesn’t even matter all that much in the case of the Democratic party. Any Democratic president would ultimately follow the platform of the party, and you can see that by the fact that Biden’s agenda has been a lot more progressive than most expected, but makes sense since the party has become more progressive in recent years.

It doesn’t apply as much with Trump because he’s a wannabe dictator and there’s a huge cult of personality behind him. He can do whatever he wants and the Republican party will follow, because they’ll be kicked out of the party if they protest in the slightest.

He needs to win so he gets that sweet, sweet presidential immunity for the countless crimes he has committed. Whether that fully protects him remains to be seen, but that’s clearly the goal.

Project 2025 may be the unofficial platform, although officially adopting it may be a step too far for even the Republican party. If only because of the optics of it, not because they don’t agree with all of it.

Certainly Trump has suggested cleaning house of “liberal” members of the public service so he can install his own cronies that will let him do whatever he wants, which is in line with Project 2025.

is it possible to set the steamdeck to “default” to always keep picking the steamdeck speaker as default audio out also when an HDMI is connected through the USB-C?

Some audio issues were introduced in the SteamOS 3.5 update (partly due to having to handle the OLED model around the same time) which causes the HDMI problem. Hopefully it will be fixed in SteamOS 3.6 or 3.7. I’ve found that Bazzite doesn’t have the issue, although obviously that’s an invasive change, and I understand it’s still a bit buggy with the OLED model.

how do y’all combine music and games?

I think doing what you want could be a bit technically involved. One way might be to have one device control the music, and then cast it to the deck with snapcast or similar. Then, if you can get a snapcast client on the deck to be persistently running in the background, any music that is played on the other device, will be heard on the Deck.

Or more simply, you could try pairing your Deck in bluetooth from another device, and then select that Deck as an output. This is assuming that the Deck allows this, and that your source device supports it (Android did last time I tried).

Could be useful for PiKVM or equivalent.

It makes sense if you see their views as being about controlling women rather than being pro-life. The common thread of conservatism is removing agency and power from everyone but themselves.

Politically, you need to convince at least some of the “what about the economy/China” types. So economic and energy/manufacturing sovereignty arguments can be more convincing than “humanity is fucked if we don’t act quickly enough”. It’s stupid, but that’s democracy for you.

Barrett being the sane one here is surprising. Although maybe it’s just token dissent, since they already have the majority without her.

Historically it meant amphetamines, but it can apply to both now. Street language isn’t exactly set in stone.

They’re keeping the 256gb LCD for now, although that could change in the future of course.

Completely unneeded in Australia. The conservative oppositions’ nuclear plan is just a delay tactic so their fossil fuel buddies can burn coal for a bit longer (and creating a culture war is a nice bonus).

Abortions for some, a white ethnostate for others!

I had a quick look and found that yomitan supports Korean as well. This won’t help your reviews directly, but it will help with being able to quickly look up words when you’re trying to read something.

EDIT: And a dictionary to use with it.

Yeah, that’s annoying. You probably need some other resources to help things stick, but I can’t help you on Korean.

Using mnemonics of some kind can be helpful, even if it’s nonsensical (or perhaps especially if it’s nonsensical).

Anki and some pre-built decks at my level. I’m sure there is something for Korean out there.

Volume is weird, i feel like i’d almost like either a “volume target” option, to match volume levels between content, or some sort of fixed audio boost level. Idk.

Adding replaygain tags to your content could help here, but it’s a manual process, particularly since it’s not normally included in released videos. And I’m not sure if jellyfin supports replaygain tags from video (presumably it does for audio only files).

mpv definitely does support it at least, with “–replaygain=track”.

Of course, none of this helps with OPs situation, because enabling replaygain will actually lower the volume on most files, so it can account for high dynamic range content.

The situation is a lot better with music, but it’s not perfect. There’s still issues with region locking content, and content only existing on one service and not another.

Most people are talking about fossil fuels in terms of electricity and transport, which can and should be transitioned to renewable energy and electric vehicles as fast as possible (ideally with some people moving away from cars altogether).

And the poll itself is specifically talking about renewable energy, so it’s not like the article is confused on that point.

Yes, manufacturing is a harder problem, especially when it’s not just used as an energy source. But the easier problems need to be attacked as quickly as possible to reduce the risk of runaway climate change.

Seems pretty easy to avoid if you don’t donate to the Republican party. And if you are willing to do that, then the business is fundamentally immoral (or amoral if you’re being generous).
