Podcasting is the better space to get going.

Joe Rogan and other right-wing cranks.

Also tictoc.

A significant part of the rise of fascism in Europe among young people.

Anyway I do like podcasts, and it's full of good content (and so is tiktok presumably) but neither are lacking right-wing content.

I was thinking more about the apparent changes in legislation, so the issue could reappear. It's hard to tell if the author is overreacting or how it will actually pan out, since it's all a bit incoherent to me.

Will be interesting to see if this applies to Vodafone, as I haven't seen any messages despite using an imported phone. And the messages I received from Telstra were somewhat justified as the phone is missing B28, but that's more of a coverage issue.

A shitshow in any case. VoLTE should really have been a core part of 4G and not this tacked on proprietary upgrade.

Turnout is typically very poor amongst young people. It will be interesting to see how much young people vote, and the gender breakdown. Because if turnout is consistent across gender, then any of those gains will be wiped out by young women leaning strongly progressive (or at least, liberal).

And you want to win by a huge margin so they can actually implement good policies, and not have to barter with Republicans and the likes of Manchin.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but those documents were stolen in DC, not Florida. Sure there could be “both”, but seriously.

I believe the idea was that if he was convicted in Florida by a Republican biased jury, there would be fewer claims of it being rigged or whatever. Seems stupid in hindsight since Cannon ended up being assigned the case.

And the software ecosystem, much of which they have funded/developed. In 2015, there was no proton, no DXVK, no vkd3d, and most important, no Vulkan.

It's a reverse-cycle AC if you've heard the term. Basically, an AC that can can run in reverse, heating the room.

It's the most efficient form of heating and cooling that we have, since it doesn't create energy, but instead moves it (so its efficiency is greater than 100%).

I'd guess it was an attempt to keep the title succinct, then not proofing it properly. In any case, always read the article before commenting as titles are frequently misleading (intentional or not).

I've seen it go down in some cases on VPNs, so it could be a matter of time (or they'll find a solution again and the back and forth will just continue).

Youtube isn't just a thing people use to waste time, but a source of educational content. That actually matters, and there isn't a good alternative to much of it.

That being said, I agree that people could at least drop it (or reduce their usage) if they are just using it as a time waster.

What headphones in particular are you using? Because with standard AD2P you're limited to mSBC at best, but maybe your device has some proprietary implementation.

You could try with a hardware dongle, but no guarantee that will work either.

At least in the long run it should be fixed by Bluetooth LE audio, but I'm not sure if the Deck properly supports it yet, and it requires new audio devices as well.
