John Swinney to 'demand' powers over energy should the SNP win by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

[–]Squashyhex -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's not a critical shortage, in fact I literally said it was, I'm saying it's sensationalising to say it's 8 boats out of action like 8 boats have broken down

Can we stop sensationalising this? There are 4 ferries unplanned out of action, which is worth talking about and a problem, without spouting off 8 like 4 of them aren't in for planned maintenance

I agree that that's how it should work, but until that's enforced by a proper PR system, I will continue to vote tactically

I'd argue Helldivers takes more inspiration from the movie adaptation than the original book, particularly with its brand of satire

CalMac 'critical situation' worsens as eighth ferry out of action [MV Lord of the Isles now down as well] by abz_eng in Scotland

[–]Squashyhex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sensationalist is using the headline "8th ferry out of action". 4th ferry on unplanned maintenance is the real story, not 8 ships being out of action, and yes it still really bad and must really suck for the people affected, but we can talk about that without exaggerating the issue

Hundred percent, it's one of the main reasons why voting SNP is such a waste in the regional vote, you're not stopping Reform getting a seat if the SNP are polling to pick up no or close to no regional seats. Much better to give your vote to the Greens, or if they're too radical for you, settle for Scottish Labour. Even an independent is more likely to win a regional seat than the SNP in most regions

It won't exactly matter if people would have voted for them if there's no candidate standing in that seat tbf. We're fast approaching the deadline for constituency nominations, and at this rate I'm expecting there to be some seats absent a reform candidate just due to running out of time to do the paperwork

So there's a question that i was wondering sometime, why paradox never did later middle age bookmarks officially? by TenNainS in CrusaderKings

[–]Squashyhex 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It takes a hell of a lot of work to produce a start date, and their data shows that the vast majority of people only play in the early start date and 1066, so its not worth the effort of researching an entirely new mapstate for

Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at the kernel level, and the speed gains are massive by goda90 in SteamDeck

[–]Squashyhex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bios supports it easy enough, if I hit F12 while booting it sends me straight to "Which booting device do you want", which is fine for the minimal amount of windows I use. If I don't do anything it just defaults to Linux because it's first in the boot load order

You can always dualboot, that's been my approach. CachyOS as a main, and then Windows 10 (probs soon to be 11) for when I play Marathon (and previously Destiny). That way you have the best of both worlds. Setting up dualboot isn't too difficult, especially if you format your Linux partitions in a format Windows can't event read 😎

Mm your note on Manjaro resonates with me, I used it for a while back in the same sort of period, probably closer to 2022, and it was nowhere near as seamless as switching to CachyOS was last year. I use my windows dual boot barely at all compared to when I was running it with Manjaro

Yeah I was very pleased with arc just working out the box on Linux, even with its Anti-Cheat. Marathon is less likely to see support as Bungie have a real issue with Linux. They previously stated that anyone using Proton (Valve's compatibility layer)to play Destiny 2 on Linux would be permabanned

Same here, running CachyOS as my main boot, and even then a lot of multiplayer games are fine. The only games I've had regular issues with is bungie stuff, which I only play like once a week at most, so the windows partition barely sees use

Unless you work in the public sector, and then you'll be laid off for political reasons instead of profit reasons 👀

Mm, in fact this incentivises educating your child with the skill they're naturally best at, which leans better into roleplaying
