There’s definately places in NSW where you could experience SAD. Places in the Central West for example; Orange and Bathurst get quite gloomy during the winter.

The first half or so seems to stick with me a bit more than the run of songs following the title track. It’s still early days though, so I’m sure after a few more listens it will all click for me

There’s now an option to enable this, previously this was how Jerboa behaved with no way to disable it.

I’m really starting to sense a major paradigm shift in the internet starting to take place. Inane policies like this, coupled with the backwards decisions that the major social media companies seem to be making really make me anxious to see what the Web is going to look like in a couple of years. Hopefully we’ll see more federated services pop up, shielded by the direct influence of corporations and overbearing governments. But the cynic in me tells me this may be too much to wish for.

Wow, 2023 is shaping up to be one of the best years in prog metal in recent memory. New Haken, Ne Obliviscaris, Periphery, The Ocean, and now new Tesseract. It’s going to be hard to pick my Album of the Year this year.

It’s such a good album, it’s one that I always have to listen to all the way through once I start.

You definately have a point. I’m honestly not very well versed in the specifics of this situation, which is why I was curious. What repercussions do you think such a move would have from a diplomatic point of view between the UK and Norway? Building from that too, obviously Norway would have to agree to take them in first, which from the article I’m not sure if they have.

Is there any precedent for a territory of a country deciding to align with another nation? I’m just interested as to what the process would be, surely they can’t just unilaterally decide they’re no longer part of the UK.

It really depends on what software you have installed. Quite a few packages require Python to function, and removing it will prevent/affect their functioning. This is one of the main advantages of Arch though: you start with a bare-bones system, and build from there as you need. One question though, why do you need to uninstall Python?

Still waiting for the Deck to become officially available in Australia, but I’m pleased to see the progress recently in Linux gaming in general.

Arch. I’ve been running it on my laptop for the last 3 years, and I’ve only switched my gaming PC from Windows in the last couple of months. Really impressed with how much Proton has improved since the Steam Deck has come out.

Moved from Ubuntu as I was having issues with the WiFi drivers on my laptop, and both my systems have been rock solid ever since.

I’ve never heard of having to boil tank water before, is this a requirement or more of a precaution?

It was probably a bit minimal in the story department, but I thought the cinematography was outstanding, especially in the last hour or so. That one-shot sequence in the building was probably one of my favourite sections in any movie I’ve seen recently.

I think that’s one of the main advantages of Android for me. So much can be done without root access. Want to change the home screen UI? There’s an option in the settings for that, and multiple UIs available on the Play Store. Need more traditional file management? Apps can request storage access, and you have what is essentially a user home directory by default. Want to change your theme? You can.

I’ve very rarely come across any reason to root my Android device, and as you said, it’s usually just not worth the hassle.

Yeah, just wish we could’ve gotten more of this sound. I enjoy Kindly Bent to Free Us, but it just doesn’t come close to anything on this album

If you haven’t found a solution as of yet, passing the -vgui flag to steam on launch fixed it for me. This launches Steam in the old UI, which seems to be a workaround for the time being.

I’m not entirely sure what the core issue is, the consensus from what I’ve read so far seems to point to a Nvidia driver issue introduced in a recent update.

Wow, this is really interesting. I’m just giving the full album a spin at the moment, and it sounds absolutely insane. Love it

If you haven’t already, make sure you check out ‘Pelagial’ and their two ‘Phanerozoic’ albums

I’ll remain skeptical until it releases, but hopefully this will be a reason to revisit the game. It has so much potential

I’ve been using Arch for the last couple of years. I migrated from Ubuntu after having intermittent network issues, and ever since my machine has been stable as a rock
