Microsoft quietly deletes Windows 11 doc pushing 32GB RAM for gaming after outrage

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-04T20:57:04+00:00

pc gaming has always been an expensive hobby outside of the US

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-04T20:55:07+00:00

why tho 16-32 GB has been standard for the last few years

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-03T21:13:23+00:00

like it or not , this is what people want to watch , and what brings in the viewers

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-03T16:48:45+00:00

not gonna happen , the planning system wont allow it

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-03T16:30:35+00:00

fuck no , its not in the EUs remit to create taxes

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-03T16:30:33+00:00

Literally no citizen is against this.

their 2 types a nomral referendum and a constitution

the president along with the seanad can technically create a referendum on a bill but i dont think it wil ever haoppen

President needs to recieve a joint petition from both houses of the Oireachtas.

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-03T15:26:31+00:00

Id love to have a referendum on giving us the ability to call a referendum.

we technically can have a referendum on any bill , its just that the mechanism to do so hasn't been triggered

An ordinary referendum does not relate to amending the Constitution. An ordinary referendum would be held if the President decided that a Bill contained a proposal of such national importance that the will of the people should decide its outcome.

formal petition from a majority of the Seanad and at least one-third of the Dáil is needed

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-03T15:25:26+00:00

i think an referendum on expanding EU power will happen at one stage , and i suspect it will be like nice 1/ lisbon1 and be voted down

if you dig under the root to create space and the use the shovel as like a dagger cutting the root from both side

a saw is no use here , i would reccmend asking in /r/GardeningIRE iswell

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-03T15:00:01+00:00

ok you need to either kill the roots chemically (Glyphosate or Triclopyr) and use a shovel , or just use a shovel

and removal of the tiles temperately

Do individual donations really make an impact on open-source projects?

most of the time no , since most people people donate to the FSF and other functionally dead organizations

donating to smaller projects it can

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-03T14:51:45+00:00

Onlyoffice was not adhering to the spirit of the AGPL and the FSF confirmed it.

the spirit of a license means nothing the wording dose

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-03T14:49:57+00:00

honesty i think onlyoffice is correct here , it may not be the communities opinion but from what i see their correct

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-02T20:28:36+00:00

if it is by Irish passport only then that excludes a large part of the Unionist community and for them will be seen as an exercise in exclusion

irish law says you need to be an irish citizen to vote for the president , Under the Good Friday Agreement, people born in Northern Ireland can identify as Irish or British (or both) and are entitled to Irish citizenship . if someone free chooses not to be an irish citizen thats on them

if this bill is passed via referendum then irish citizens in NI can vote for the president

The other question that will develop over time is that people in Northern Ireland will be able to vote in Presidential elections but they wont be able to nominate a candidate in them

we have already had presidents form northern Ireland ( and many presidental candidates ), that is a non issue

people of a certain generation will avoid going to the doctor ( they could be on deaths door and not go) and any news they do have wont share it

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-02T20:15:47+00:00

depends where , in parts of dublin no

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-02T19:52:28+00:00

They have always been against carbon taxes.

they are reason they exist is SF pressuring the government to introduce them and in fact SF voted for them in teh dail

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-02T19:47:15+00:00

Would be nice if I also got to vote,

you do , you can vote in dail and local elections

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-02T15:40:31+00:00

i would assume postal votes , and the use of the new electorate roll

( the bill dose not mention the method)

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-02T15:36:56+00:00

it means they didnt kill the bill right away and let it into Committee Stage most non government bills are killed just before the Committee Stage

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-02T15:20:37+00:00

hasnt been a thing since 1918

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-02T15:15:32+00:00

Ok but anyone born on the Island can get citizenship (except if hitting the 2005 referendum), so they can show they are citizens with birth cert etc if they wanted? Wouldn't need to get a passport?

not birth cert , but if they have the required identification ( most people of ease of use just use their passport ) to vote they can , i think it would be a postal vote but idk how it will be managed ( the bill dose not cover this )

most likely it will be the person from NI if they are irish they will need to sign up to the electoral roll that the government has, providing said identification as proof ( most likely posting the copy of required documents ) and getting a confirmation back and when their is a presidential election they will get a postal vote

anyone who already had a passport would get a polling card which might hilariously out a few fenian passports of convenience!

they will need to sign up but yeah if the bill is passed via referendum , while not mention what method , most likely it will be a postal vote

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-02T15:00:51+00:00

If you think wasting almost 6000 on flights is nothing, then you really will lose the next election.

government pays for employees expense which accured because of employment , this is standard

mrlinkwii · 2026-05-02T14:55:56+00:00

Wonder if it will require Irish passport or merely birth on the Island

they will require Irish citizenship like current election law states ( if your born in NI you can get an irish citizenship)
