Not a “Starmerite sycophant” whatever the hell that is. I am not a fervent supporter of any political party. I simply do not believe that Labour are inherently islamophobic - I’ve seen nothing to suggest that. Im not trying to cover anything up or deflect by saying that the Tories are Islamophobic. It’s relevant because the Tories have been in power and controlling foreign policy up until a month or so ago. If the Tories were still in charge, there would have been no change to the UK gov’s position.

Not that I think that Islamaphobia is the driving factor behind support for Israel, nor do I pretend to fully understand, besides the obvious fact that they’re an existing ally and were attacked by terrorism which kicked this off.

The tide is turning against the Israelian government’s scorched-earth policy but it’s taking too long, especially from the US side. Seemingly the Israelian people are also taking issue with their government’s position which is more pressure than we can exert from our side.

Btw Jeremy Corbyn was vindicated for what, defending Hamas and Hezbollah? Plenty of people have stood up for Palestine over the years without standing up for Hamas. Palestinians deserve to be free, not controlled by Hamas terrorists.

Labour has a far far less of an islamaphobia issue than the Conservatives.

Labour did previously have a antisemitism issue however, and undoubtedly they’re hesitant to do anything which might be tagged antisemitic (even if it’s not).

But despite that, they haven’t been in power for long and have already done far more than the Tories did.

Second Mihon. It’s an all-in-one downloader and reader, and supports reading offline.

AI is going to become more convincing by reading articles like this and learning what not to say (e.g. hockey match)

Well, it looks like reverting to Stable seemed to at least partially fix it for me. The keyboard is still higher on the screen, but at least it fits to the screen width correctly. Thanks!

I couldn’t find any mention of anyone else with this issue around the web or on valve’s GitHub issue tracker, so I assumed it was something dumb I’d done rather than a bug.

I am currently on the latest beta - I’ll test the stable/preview channels in case that makes a difference.

They intentionally removed this feature years ago. It was possible to reenable via a dconf setting for a while but I believe that was also eventually removed.
So annoying.

Their mindset is “Fossil fuels are still needed now, and if my company doesn’t grab them, someone else will” and it’s just so easy to continue getting those short term profits for their shareholders.

They may have long term plans for investment in renewables, but they won’t enact them until forced to (by government or market conditions). I imagine oil costs (and therefore profits) will skyrocket as it becomes more scarce, and they’d want to ride that all the way to the bank (and hell) before pivoting.

Basically, capitalism will be capitalism - its only moral is money. The only way is to have governments worldwide force them to change, and that ain’t gonna happen.

I use touchpad to look and spin around quickly, but gyro to make small aiming adjustments.

What’s wrong with the trackpad? I find using the trackpad to look around in FPS games is much better than the right stick.

You’re not technically wrong, but it’s a nuanced issue and people should treat it as such rather than black and white.

Sunak saying “no one can change sex” without any qualifying statements is just designed to inflame and divide people.

They were clearly referring to online foreign disinformation, not domestic disinformation.

Valve are a private company, so Microsoft can’t just barge in and buy it up.

Considering the investment Valve has poured into Linux because Gabe doesn’t trust Microsoft enough to have his business rely on Windows, I’d be pretty shocked if he decided to sell up to Microsoft.

the RM “installed gravel on the bridge to a depth of 13 to 16 inches with an average depth of 14 inches, which far exceeded the specified load.”

WTF, why the hell would they go and dump 16 inches of gravel on the bridge? That’s an awful lot of weight.

Clearly this guy couldn’t have stopped them dumping gravel after the bridge was completed, but allowing the client to save money on critical safety measures is inexcusable.
