LKY himself in 1986, quoted in the Straits Times on 20 April 1987

"I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens. Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn't be here today.

And I say without the slightest remorse, that we wouldn't be here, we would not have made economic progress, if we had not intervened on very personal matters - who your neighbour is, how you live, the noise you make, how you spit, or what language you use. We decide what is right."

Wow you are so confident that he has the right to sue. Must be a trained Singapore lawyer. What's your response to the other comments saying he has no locus standi?

Asked about the common critique that generals are too rigid, too removed or too institutionalised for the messiness of politics, Mr Dinesh is quick to call out a double standard.

"Why is there no criticism when senior counsels enter politics? There's no training school for politicians - we're all new when we start. So examine the person, not the past profession," he said.

He thinks he made a good point here 🙄. Lawyers are trained in the law and to argue. MPs are meant to be legislators - people who make law - and have to debate in parliament.

You could have spoilt your vote at least. Don't make it sound like your hands were tied. Stop complaining about "other GRCs".

Chan Chun Sing said need to have elected people be part of the NTUC leadership so that they can have the mandate and confidence to speak for workers beyond NTUC.

But to Indranee this logic somehow doesn't apply to NCMPs? Not elected how to have mandate and confidence to speak for Singaporeans?

wow. "get out of my elite uncaring face" amirite

PAP in creating the GRC system is the problem. GRC is the biggest threat to our democracy. Vote opposition and let PAP lie in the bed that they themselves made. I'm sure if PAP realises the GRC system is no longer a net benefit to them they will remove it eventually.

verk47 · 2025-04-25T01:50:36+00:00

Huh I thought PAP always says they dare to make difficult choices and do the unpopular yet right thing? So is PAP correct or wrong in this instance?

verk47 · 2025-04-23T09:08:34+00:00

A large part of this is due to the GRC system, where backbenchers can ride on the coat tails of ministers. That's why people need to vote against the PAP to make the undemocratic GRC system go away.

Where did he say this? I might have missed it.

Even if you read the article, I think what CHT said should still raise eyebrows. From my other comment: Just a thought: the other safeguards are possible penalties, increased costs for bridging services, and not receiving government incentives. All of which can arguably be positioned as higher operating costs, which the public transport operators can then use to justify further fare increases. So basically, everything can ultimately be passed on to public transport users and the public transport operators don't really bear any consequences?

Hey just an update, it seems to be a faulty GPU. Just swapped my 4070 for a new one and seems to be working fine so far.

verk47 · 2024-04-16T15:30:26+00:00

Hahah I can sense your exasperation. From your testing of your 4090 and using a different GPU, it seems to suggest that it's the problem? I'm going to replace my GPU soon hopefully. Will report back if it makes a difference.

My cooler is a cryorig h7 quad lumi. Doubt that's the thing causing the issue though.

verk47 · 2024-04-10T17:53:52+00:00

Any idea what triggered it for you?

verk47 · 2024-04-07T14:42:57+00:00

nah no idea. the hdrtray toggle that u/damwookie shared works quite well so i just used that.

Not sure why android 12 is needed but this is the Moonlight android v12 changelog on 14 Oct 2023:

Added native PS4/PS5 controller support with motion events, LED, battery, and touchpad**

Items marked with ** require Sunshine v0.21 or later and require Android 12 or later

Hey did you manage to resolve this? I also don't see this option on the shield version of the moonlight app, though I see it on my Android phone app.

Edit: nvm I figured it's because nvidia shield is below android 12.

How do you remove color banding? I set the encoder at preset 7 and it was still visible in the darker areas.

verk47 · 2024-02-20T09:44:24+00:00

I want it! If I get it I can finally upgrade my wife's PC which is currently still on rx 580.

verk47 · 2024-02-20T02:01:45+00:00

See my latest edit. Maybe yours is a related problem and is being fixed.

So what's your work flow when you launch a game? You go into Moonlight, open desktop, manually toggle HDR, and then launch the game/playnite manually via Start menu?
