Thanks for breaking that down, I wish newspapers or even BBC News did this. They do now have BBC Verify but its never super clear of their findings, certainly not in the format that you’ve just used. Perhaps theirs should be called BBC Balance. The only thing I would say with regard to your first point is that I’m not against the idea that any individual could make a breakthrough. At least with regard to theory.

We already know that throughout the history of cosmology, whole experts have been wrong when a new discovery is made. E.g. Highly likely that not everyone believed that Earth was centre of the Universe (like the earlier science communities claimed). The issue with this guy is he’s using his own biased ideas and data and some people believe whatever is printed in a newspaper must be right.

Only silver lining is at least there clickbaity headlines give the public something more substantial to think about for 60 seconds instead of what the next Kardashian is up to…

Sounds like something silicon valley would do.

Brilliant and huge congrats to the amazing people who worked on it. One silly question though, is the “new” Gimp logo supposed to look out of focus or are my eyes getting old?

Agree, however on clicking the photoshop link was first hit with 2 popups before I could see the page.

I’ve recently installed ZorinOS on my Surface Go 2 as part of my migration away from US software. Had a great experience too so far, way faster than Windows 11 like 2-3x faster which is crucial as my base model only has 4GB RAM.

Only issue is my camera isn’t working, but I rarely used it (unfortunately still have a work laptop for teams calls). Now just need to migrate rest of services away from Microsoft account and close it.

Not sure how they were able to remove so many buttons in the first place and not be marked down on safety. Suddenly trying to find a demister on a touchscreen menu while in motion was never a great idea. Surprisingly, Volvo off all companies have been one of the worst for this. That’s why I like Dacias, little tech = little to go wrong.

Yep - cheapest Atto 3 model in the UK is £37,695 on the road price, which is around $77,587 AUD. Even with dealer cuts (30%?) seems super expensive compared to rest of the world. Something is not adding up.

I’m a fan of BYDs though, I just wish they were cheaper in the UK. Britain is not subject to the EU import tarrifs but the Atto 3 for example is around almost twice the price of the same Australian model.

I understand we’re further away from China than Australia is but then they do have their own ships now. Anyone know why?

Thanks once again - these series of posts are the best thing on Lemmy at the moment. Wish the Internet had stayed like this rather than what it has become. Your content and the fediverse gives me hope…

Yes exactly, its the convenience of being able to play on the sofa when I get a spare hour at the weekends or evenings that’s really appealing. Thanks, will check Decky Loader out 👍

I wanna get back into gaming this year and have been looking into getting a stream deck, so timing of this post couldn’t have been better. Not sure where you managed to find all this info but big thanks - looking forward to the next post…

Late stage capitalism is now turning inward. What a time to be alive.
