I ran Steam on Wayland just fine for several years.
“If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go,”
This quote by Kavanaugh is a false statement, and probably a lie. Lots of permanent residents with valid green cards and people with valid visas are getting abducted by ICE, and then their visa or green card is simply revoked for no reason. Then they are deported.
Yeah, true, but that's mostly fixed costs, and has a pretty low incremental cost for each video delivered. The fixed costs we have to pay regardless.
Electrical engineer here. There is almost no difference.
The cost of streaming video from a server to your computer is pretty small, basically just transferring the bytes from a hard drive to a network card. This happens in a datacenter on a big server designed to be efficient at it, and serve a ton of people at once. Your own electricity consumption on your viewing device is likely much higher than that. You can calculate your electricity consumption using a Kill-A-Watt or similar device, but here are some averages of measurements I've made on my devices:
- PC with 27" LCD monitor: 150W
- 50" TV: 300W
- Laptop with internal 14" screen: 40W
- Phone with 5" screen: 10W roughly, but it's complicated
- Phone with screen off, speaker only: 2W (guessing here)
- Handheld FM radio: less than 1W
If you look at your computer's CPU usage while watching video, it's mostly idle. So most of the power consumption is the screen's backlight.
Assuming worst-case coal power, releasing 0.4kg of carbon per kWh, and a large TV, and let's say 10% overhead for the server's energy cost, that's 0.13kg of carbon per hour. So don't worry about it.
Broken site? The video doesn't play
I got GOG Galaxy working in Steam, through Proton, as an "Add a non-Steam Game". I'll have to try Heroic Launcher.
I. One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II. The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III. One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV. The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
V. Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
VI. People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII. Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
"The Ten Commandments" are actually Jewish. Christians who read would know that Christianity is supposed to be based on two commandments, which according to their god are more important than the ten commandments.
Which governor are you referring to? Illinois or Louisiana?
Don't post this trash if you're not going to verify it.
2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

I have self hosted my email since 2006. I gave up on self hosting outgoing mail in 2021, but I still keep the server up for incoming mail, and still set up throwaway accounts on there.
The hard part of hosting email is getting Google and Microsoft to accept outgoing mail. Tons of businesses that do not have visibly outlook .com or gmail .com addresses are still hosted by those servers.
I had SPF, DKIM, and a static datacenter IP address with no reputation problems. I still couldn't get through to Microsoft, not even in people's junk mail directory, until they manually whitelisted my address. Microsoft didn't allow them to whitelist a whole domain. Google was a little easier, but they added new demands monthly.
In 2025, I can't get reliable delivery to gmail .com addresses even sending from a hotmail .com address in the outlook .com web interface.
