I stopped playing online games some years back because this sort of thing was far too common. And I bet it's even worse now.

This is pretty much it. The disengaged public needs simple, three-word slogans and they need to stick on message, relentlessly (and it needs to connect emotionally as you said).

And while it goes against every instinct of those who are college educated, you need to say things with over the top confidence. Hedging makes sense in the academic world, but average people trust people with excessive confidence.

I have been reading a lot more since the 2016 result. It wasn't the only reason, but it was a major one (especially non-fiction).

This is good for america because reasons.

People with lifted pickup trucks can now go into even more debt, so they can flex on the "poors" (while complaining about their "economic anxiety").

You can actually play from the UI too, but it's not particularly nice to use (or intended to be used that way).

Another issue is that zwave isn't available in all countries (or it is but uses incompatible frequencies) so it's less useful outside the big markets.

I'll add pinchflat as an alternative with the same aim.

That's the point of this standard, at least in theory. Same with the older but still common ZigBee standard.

Internalised misogyny and all of that.

This community is going to have ample content for the next four years (and hopefully only four years). Even if this story itself is likely bullshit.

With the Republicans holding all 3 branches of government?

There's an outside chance that they lose the House. I wouldn't bet on it, but there is a chance.

He honestly doesn't look happy at all about winning. The guy isn't really capable of being happy anyway, but he looks even more miserable than usual.

Bazzite 3.5.0 Update Released (universal-blue.discourse.group)
 
  • Nvidia 555 Drivers on Bazzite (Nvidia :heart: Wayland)
  • Handheld Daemon Version 3
  • Full Steam Deck OLED Support
 
  • Support for asynchronous processing has been implemented. Nodes can choose (or be forced) to be scheduled asynchronously. The graph will not wait for the output of the node to continue processing but it will use the output of the previous cycle (or silence) instead. This adds one cycle of latency but it can avoid having some nodes blocking the processing graph. Non realtime streams and filters now also use this asynchronous processing instead of their own slightly broken version.

  • The concept of node.sync-group was added. This groups nodes with overlapping sync-group together when one of them sets the node.sync = true. This is now used to make sure all nodes are scheduled together when JACK transport is started so that they all see the same transport time.

  • Config parsing errors are reported earlier and much better with line and column numbers where the parsing started to fail.

  • Add support for mandatory metadata when negotiating buffer parameters. This can be used to only negotiate extra buffer planes when certain metadata is negotiated. One use case is the explicit sync support that requires 2 extra fds for the timelines.

  • Explicit sync metadata and support was added.

  • Support was added for making and using multiple data-loops in the server and clients. Support for CPU affinity and priorities was added to the data-loops as well.

  • The log topic debug levels can now be changed at runtime with metadata.

  • The log levels in the pulse server can be dynamically changed with a /core message.

  • The UCM conflicting devices patches were merged.

  • Add snapcast-discover module to stream to snapcast servers.

  • Rework how peers are linked and the counters are updated. Resume the peers when a node is unlinked and not yet processed. This should cause less occasional dropouts in the graph when reconnecting things.

  • Many GStreamer element updates.

  • Many more fixes and improvements.

EDIT: Whoops, looks like a repost.

tl;dr this allows one to link Pipewire filter chains (such as EQ) to specific devices automatically. Useful for system-wide EQ, noise filters etc, especially multiple filters together. In particular, it all happens transparently so you can just connect to your normal hardware output and it should just work.

You could already do this manually with some work, but this should be simpler and more robust. I suspect this will help with the Steam Deck too, which uses some filters to correct the built-in speakers, and this has caused bugs at times.

 

tl;dr Performance for Blazblue Centralfiction using Zink should be greatly improved once this MR is merged

Seems that it may affect some other games that embed video files, since it's an issue involving gstreamer.
