They need diesel to run. Tax the diesel. Right now fossil fuels get subsidies. Just change that.

I really think these companies should try and split the men's and women's preferences for taste tests. There is a strong idea of meat and cheese being tied to manhood, and I have a suspicion that while men might prefer the taste, even in a blind test, they would lie about it to avoid being thought of as a "soy boy". I really do think the new age of fake meats is less about taste, and more about identity.

EDIT: I will say though, for cheese the gap is real. Personally very happy these companies are closing it, because I'd buy it.

You may not have considered the Intel Arc GPUs. Basically they were bad on Windows and are slowly improving, but unsure about their state on Linux. The cards were quite bad at some point, and well worse than an experience with NVIdia, despite the libre stack.

I would say the "best" depends on goals here. I generally encourage use of AMD over NVidia, but the difference is quite small. If you're already going with CachyOS, then you're well beyond the skill level to be able to navigate the tiny additional complexity of an NVidia card. Just buy the best bang for buck and your use case.

As for Mali, recent kernels and Mesa versions have made significant inroads. I do believe we'll get pretty good support for Mali by the time the Qualcomm ARM Laptops become available for Linux.

I do think the meat of cottagecore is people knitting and creating stuff, and trying to have a simpler life. Trying to put a philosophy around it is probably not fundamental to that community.

Just going to echo this. It's a tough balancing act to allow a bit of fun and shit posting while also preventing abuse and the mods are doing amazing, and the instance is in great technical health too. Thanks all. Really love being in this online space which is actually pretty tough to achieve.

I don't know if Linux Gaming would exist if it wasn't for OpenGL and Carmack using it for Quake.

Unfortunately we are in the Glide era of VR. OpenXR exists, but someone needs to create a killer app which uses it.

I remember the frame time issue happening but it fixed itself and I can't remember the cause. Try changing the refresh rate of your monitor, it might kick something which fixes it.

Performance should definitely be mostly on par with Windows.

It's honestly silly. I have a minor interest in Olympics coverage but it's so often difficult to be able to watch a sport or see more context from a meme that I just stop caring. Like imagine if you saw that shooting meme and thought "yeah I'll watch the whole thing" but you can't. The wheeling and dealing makes the whole thing harder to get excited about.

I joined it specifically for the solarpunk and I still think of it as Slurp Nik.

This is the first I've heard of it. Fingers crossed he has a Linux video in the works.

My guess is this is the underlying reason. Basically these companies set up the infrastructure for when governments would start to mandate this stuff, and they'd get a bit of nice press out of it. However, the fossil companies have found that you can basically confound all progress by the private sector just via the threat of rolling back climate legislation. This happened when the LNP government even just mentioned a nuclear plan which is just plain stupid.

I'm guessing by even stating it, Air NZ has gone one better than a lot of companies, which have conveniently "forgotten" about their goals. They'll get 20% of the way and declare that a success, but basically one company can't move until all of them move. We need to get the crazies out of government and out of opposition too.

Food is so deep, culturally speaking. Many people have deep memories and positive associations with making meat dishes, and "forcing" plant based meats looks like the government intruding on that. It feels overbearing for a government to try and reduce eating of meat through any monetary means, even if it just means reducing / removing subsidies already in place.

It's doubly worse because splitting meat eating through money means the rich can still afford and eat meat in plentiful ways, where the poor won't be able to. This makes meat a wealth signifier (more than it already is), which can backfire pretty spectacularly.

In a policy sense, I actually have no idea how to limit meat eating. Even Carbon Taxes tend to have exceptions for beef.
