russelg··on Norway makes shithouses great again
> In 2019, fossil fuels contributed 48 percent of Norway’s export revenues of around $53 billion. And that number is much, much larger today, thanks to ballooning demand for natural gas in the wake of the Ukraine war.

How do you propose they kill the public company exactly? At least in Australia, govt. revenue is barely reliant on fossil fuels.

Their resource company is effectively the government and reducing their climate impact is basically impossible without killing their economy. I think we'd rather not be in that position.
russelg··on Forging a Microsoft Edge Full Chain with Logic Bugs Only
If you continued to read the article, you would discover that he indeed goes through his entire thought process in building this chain. Including the fact this was done with no AI assistance at all.
russelg··on Forging a Microsoft Edge Full Chain with Logic Bugs Only
If you can understand nuance and context, you would realise the phrase right before that is saying that he's not going to go into details about how navigation itself works in Chrome/Edge, and to watch the presentation from Google itself about those specific details if you are so inclined.

If you then continued on to read the remainder of the article, you would also discover that there was no AI assistance in this research at all.

He does not gloss over that at all. He mentions the Open Material support, and the extra cost for the containers for said support.
russelg··on MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch
That basically cuts to the core of it, it has touch because the Tandem OLEDs they can source, already have the touch built in. It's not really any more complex than that.
russelg··on MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch
Mac displays are actually taller than 16:10, but that extra space is consumed by the notch. This makes the effective area of the screen 16:10.

In the iPhone case it is consistent, they always save a particular colour for the Pro model only. Purely to let people signal they have the Pro, and it has to be different every year, so they can signal they have the newest Pro.
russelg··on Discord will soon let anyone find public server messages through Google
This only applies to servers that are "Discoverable". Servers need to opt in to this, and there are minimum user counts for the feature in question.

Needless to say, none of this applies to your server with 15 people in it.

While this is typically true, see X to BlueSky when it comes to AI, Fluxer is open-source and self-hostable.
russelg··on Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you bought
Well funny enough, the code for GTA5 did leak not too long ago...
russelg··on Someone on Torrent Sites Kept Fucking with My Sonarr
You don't need any of the *arr stack, they just make media management easier for us hoarders with huge libraries. I couldn't imagine maintaining a collection of thousands of TV shows and movies without them. Every single arr program is a progressive enhancement over the "once upon a time" stack you mention.

Not that your old stack doesn't still work exactly how you'd expect it to, nothing's changed there.

russelg··on What I self-host
The difference between a 4K bluray encode by pirates who care, and a 4K WEB-DL from Netflix and co, is simply staggering.
russelg··on What I self-host
Simply put, skill issue. Never ran into anything like this when using reputable private trackers and indexers.
russelg··on What I self-host
If using the TRaSH guides (synced automatically with recyclarr), with all their quality profiles etc, I find that those mostly don't make sense for anime. It's easier for me to keep the anime specific stuff separate, different naming conventions, different episode numbering, etc.
russelg··on Japan moves to tighten rules for foreigners
We're talking about people who have gone to great lengths to set up their life in Japan, doing everything correctly. Not tourists.
russelg··on Toyota is taking the Corolla electric
Trickle charging overnight on standard AC is more than enough for a standard commuter, of course YMMV ;)
russelg··on F-Droid 2.0
The latest pixels are a complete downgrade from the previous year (worse components). That's one huge reason to buy a last year phone (as opposed to a current one).
russelg··on My Feed, My Way
>Majority of Australians supported changes in how the resource sector is taxed - the government openly met with industry lobbyists right before the budget and just said lol no.

The government consulted with key stakeholders before the budget? Say it ain't so! The lobbyists in question will be people with a Government Relations role, their whole job is to be the middlemen between the corporation and the government.

The main argument was calling for gas to be taxed more. This completely ignores reality of most gas being under contract until at least 2030, the government could not increase tax on this resource without breaking contracts. Hardly a wise decision. While they could increase it for future contracts, is this really the correct choice? We're trying to transition away from gas and other fossil fuels, why would we instead tie our tax revenue even closer to these resources?

>They went to a local byelection and their candidate was a gas lobbyist they parachuted in from a different electorate.

Yep, pretty tone-deaf. Not really the fault of the federal Labor govt however, this was just a classic WA Labor move, the state most beholden to these interests.

I agree with your other points. Military spending is screwed for either party, we're beholden to the US in this case.

Any notable differences from wg-easy?

Research chemicals. Typically analogues, and stuff like that.
russelg··on New Mac mini, featuring M6 and M5 Pro
It could work but that would require NVIDIA to release an arm64 macOS driver. Safe to say this will never happen.

Refers to the baking. These come mostly baked but frozen, then "finished" in store.

AFAIK using the bangs (e.g. !g) do not consume your search quota, so you can do it via that as well.
russelg··on I'm a USB-C Maximalist
USB-PD 3.1 supports 240W, which is 48V. It does seem like there's not many chargers that support this, but they do exist.
russelg··on Australian energy retailers must offer three hours of free daytime electricity
Australia, excluding Western Australia as we are on a separate electricity grid.
russelg··on Why are US consumers so angry? It's not just high prices
Yep, but it's a lot easier for an online retailer to avoid you and give you more hassle (oh you have to post it back to us etc).
russelg··on Why are US consumers so angry? It's not just high prices
The key in Australia is to buy from a physical retailer. They often cannot give you the runaround as under consumer law, they're responsible for the resolution.

I'm having great success with DS4 Pro as my main model, while using DS4 Flash for subagents.
