Lovely, I tried the decky plugin for this before but it was somewhat unstable and also caused games to slow down while recording. I wonder what the storage requirements will be for recording, let's say, a buffer of three minutes at all times? 🤔

OK, thanks for the hint. I just found out that you will only be prompted to update if you:
- power everything off (shut down deck completely, don't just sleep it)
- remove all peripherals connected to the dock (except network cable if you use that for your connection)
- start the deck
- if there are any updates for the the dock, they should show in the options of gaming mode
here's to hoping the updates will allay the display issues
I vaguely remembered it offering me updates when I first set the dock up (purchased the dock much later then the deck). I'll make sure I have the latest version.
Just ask the parents what (s)he likes.
There was some degree of standardization. Especially for important legal and religious texts alteration, even if accidental, was considered a sin/vice.
Scribes very often simply had to produce 1:1 copies of existing texts. So the standard was right in front of them.
You wouldn't think how far clerical errors could go when it was laboriously copied by hand by exhausted monks in candlelight.
The whole Mary was a virgin thing (aka immaculate conception) was started because someone mistranslated young woman as (sexual) virgin. In some languages those terms are really close (even today for example in German: junge Frau Vs Jungfrau).
To be fair some languages like English or French have so horrendous and outdated orthography that I'm not going to fault the writers.
Writers. Why is there even a W in that word still? Ridiculous, write?
I initially wrote 'temptor' in the title but then double checked. Not today, Titivillus.
It's quite relevant if you consider that coal mining is concentrated to a much smaller area really. Besides the destroyed habitat, the pollution, the dangers of sinkholes and the cost of renaturation you also have to contend with rain and ground water constantly filling in the mining pits.
Don't know about the UK but in West Germany's Rhein-Ruhr area, a former coal mining hotspot, the energy used to operate the pumps that keep the water out will eventually be greater than the energy gained from burning all the coal. Can't find a source on the quick but I think it might have happened already. Of course it's not a simple subtraction as all that energy was used to generate more infrastructure and capital that can now pay for the pumps. According to this German source their operation costs around 300 million euros yearly which gives you a rough idea of just how expensive that is.
"Vamos a playa" by Righeira carries a lightweight, upbeat tune that vacationers might hum on the way to the beach. But the Spanish lyrics reveal that it's about the devastation left behind by nuclear armaments. And the schism between trying to live an ordinary life whilst having a nuclear Damocles sword waver over your head. That it became such a world wide hit makes it all the more ironic. I love it all the more for it.
