scratchee, to fuck_cars in Innovation makes useful things smaller - overconsumption makes them bigger and more meaningless

They shrank by weight and volume for sure.

Not by screen area though.

scratchee, to upliftingnews in It's now illegal for Minnesota libraries to ban LGBTQ+ books under this new law

They might not have made it impossible, but most of this book banning crap has been political point scoring rather than actual attempts to change the literary record for its own sake. Now they’d have to loudly proclaim their book bans without admitting what they’re doing, which sounds a lot harder to pull off.

Anything that underlines the offensive nature of censorship like this is a good thing in my opinion.

I’d guess the requirement that experienced librarians make the decisions is just another way to exclude politicians and random mums with opinions from the process, I imagine most who go through a library sciences degree have already got a healthy respect for libraries which limits their willingness to play these stupid games.

scratchee, to world in Russia-Ukraine war latest: Putin 'may launch all-out bid to seize second city' - as Western officials fear major Russian advance

I’m curious how you’d phrase it, there is a law in Ukraine and it is widely reported to apply to “men aged 18 to 60”. What phrasing would more accurately depict the current situation without having the problems you list? If you meant instead that the law itself is problematic, then I can understand that, it’s received some criticism for that side of things.

scratchee, to gaming in Switch performs better running games through an emulator emulating the switch than natively.

Yeah, the switch has an entire core locked off and everything is downclocked to improve battery life and control temperatures. No doubt this emulation gives everything more clock cycles (and perhaps an extra core?). Probably very short on battery and possibly very hot too.

scratchee, to 196 in rule of stealing

That priest just might. CoE has always had a fun mix of voices, they’re not good at following a party line (which imo is the best thing about them).
