Couldnt El Nino also be a contributing factor this year?

I wouldnt worry about that, you and I are likely to experience it ourselves

Yes it takes lots of money, people and planning. So does operating a coal mine

I think the problem from the capitalist standpoint is that its not a very profitable business model, well thats fine then the public sector should do it just like we do the roads and other essential services. But no politician in america would even have the balls to propose that.

Id say the bulk of jobs being created in north america wont be in manufacturing the panels, but rather in the installation and upkeep of solar farms and solar panels on houses. If thats the case, then we want the panels themselves to be as low cost as possible to keep the overall cost of projects down.

If politicians had any balls at all (they dont) they’d be proposing publicly funded solar farms outside every major city. But we cant have that because that would be the government directly competing with oil companies, and thats why oil companies have bought one side of our entire political system to keep that from ever happening.

well, we had a good run, ww3 is gonna be the end of us

it should work with mariaDB which is faster in my experience

I’m tempted to install plex next

The trifecta!

emby and jellyfin

you need both of these things? Dont they both do exactly the same thing?

not believing intensifies

I LUVE DIS COMMETS!!

Wine is an awesome feat of engineering to be sure, but even the gold level compatibility Windows games dont always work out of the box on any linux distro without a bunch of tweaks, installation of drivers, windows DLLs etc etc. Its time consuming and people dont have time, thats a huge issue.

Another issue is when the inevitable distro update comes, you have a 50/50 chance of all those tweaks having to be done again (for each game) if something with the upgrade goes sideways. Even just updating wine itself can occasionally break things, and then you are back in the support forum looking for answers… for hours… instead of just playing the game. For slightly more advanced users I think Lutris is the way to go, you can configure the games yourself and launch them with various versions of wine or proton, and that seems to work pretty well in most cases.

The right answer is for game manufactures to make the games for Linux, so the right answer is to get Linux desktop market share up over 10%, thats the only way to force the issue.

Im not much of a fan of liberals cuz they are corporate centrists basically, I tend to vote NDP as they align the closest to my ideology. What I do like is coalition governments that join together to opposite consevacrook policies

And as with all things that help average people, like the proposed universal dental, it will be killed the instant the conservacrooks get back in

And its looking like conservicrooks are gong to get back in soon which means all talk of this plan will die the second that happens

Tooth cancer?
