I don’t really play Bethesda games or mods and judging by my downvotes I’m assuming I’ve said something dumb so I’m just going to leave this be. I still don’t quite understand but it’s not my place to comment.

Well I’m glad they all had fun dressing up and playing as leaders.

That sounds pretty silly, the real changes need to come from the ways we generate our electricity, not how individuals use it. I’m mostly just surprised activists managed to affect policy at all, though. But still that sounds more misguided than malicious.

helping developing countries by giving them predatory loans and putting them into more debt under the guise of fixing climate change is honestly just so on brand for the world right now.

It’d take something pretty wild to surprise me at this point.

It’s a pretty neat game.

hurrah, now let’s just hope they do like 100 times more of that, and maybe enact some actual meaningful climate policy and we’ll be fine.

Absofruitly. Sounds like the perfect thing for your use case. Only downside is it’s another thing to carry around, but if that’s not an issue I vote yay.

Seems like the sort of thing governments should be incentivising.

Bethesda is a company so naturally they’re going to want to try and profit off of mods. But outside of the compatibility hiccups this doesn’t really sound that bad. It’s a nice way for modders to get paid for their work, it’s optional and it’ll hopefully make modding more accessible in general. The bigger concerns (to me) would be how badly are Bethesda ripping off modders, and whether it would fracture any communities, for instance if it was too difficult to make an ‘official’ mod as well as a traditional one, leading to modders abandoning one or the other. So long as Bethesda handle it well it could be fine.

Who knows what their intentions are, but they’re still spreading a good message. And to be fair there is a difference between a fairly lax work from home policy and wanting to work from home permanently. It could also just be a smaller company where they don’t really have official policies for things that haven’t come up yet.

I feel like you’re just having imaginary arguments in your head with people who don’t exist. This is a net win for everyone because it means less people suffering in extreme conditions and it also puts pressure on companies and people with money to slow climate change.

Maybe there’s some weird people out there who want others to suffer but I doubt that’s anywhere near representative of climate activists.

Ahh, that makes sense.

O, how you can’t have the alternative app stores on the google app store? I mean I suppose.

I don’t understand how they lost against Apple but won against Google - which actually does allow you to download alternative app stores.

You don’t own the thing you bought!

I had been trying out Linux and finally decided to install it to my ssd. The timing ended up such that I got the wifi issues on the new install but not my old one, and they basically make the OS unusable. I didn’t realise any of this and am new so did heaps of reinstalling and searching trying to figure out what had gone wrong since it was all fine when it was installed on my HDD.

I finally found some forum posts and bug reports about this after wasting a day assuming it was something I’d done wrong 😂.

Gonna stick to lts kernel from now on I think. 6.6.6 seemed pretty fitting to me, even if it was 6.6.5 that actually broke it.

It’s a fish I’d like to duck.

The bot has not done a great job here. It’s a very long (but worthwhile) read. Kind of incredibly depressing also.
