Okay, knowing that you view it as neutral helps. For some reason I didn't get that.

(I doubt it would have been used as an example of hypocrisy otherwise),

The drinking example was that blarghly was clearly criticizing other for their choices of what they put in their bodies because it is unhealthy while ignoring blarghly is also putting something in their body (alcohol) which could easily be criticized for being unhealthy. blarghly was demonstrating “Rules for thee, but not for me”. That rubbed me the wrong way.

I get that it's meant to pick out hypocrisy, however I keep reading a deeper implication. Maybe I'm just reading things that aren't there, but if drinking was virtuous, the right thing to do, would it be hypocritical for blarghly to drink? I don't read it that way. I interpret that it's treated as hypocrisy to mean that drinking is bad, that blarghly probably shouldn't drink.

Maybe I misread this interaction, and maybe it's not my business, but this reads to me as a judgement on blarghly for both implying judgment on other people and for drinking (I doubt it would have been used as an example of hypocrisy otherwise), then I read it as about how you make the superior decision to not judge people for drinking.

I built it with meson and found the audio visualiser was listening to microphone audio rather than the music. Perhaps it's visualising microphone audio for you as well?

As much as it's dumb, many other places (such as Australia, where I live) are similar at this point.

I don't think Apple is concerned with making every app and game work on their systems to the same degree as a Linux distro. They have a niche they seem satisfied with and that niche isn't really Steam games.

With that being said, Valve made a 64 bit client for Mac so whichever major distro is first will probably push Valve to finally make a 64 bit version for Linux.

If you want something not Google, I used to have Ubuntu Touch on a Fairphone before Australia's 3G network was switched off. It would have to be an older Fairphone however.

I find it interesting how often articles come out about how good projects like Brightline West are before they're built. There's still plenty of time for more delays, budget overruns and further compromises. The original Brightline in Florida was meant to be the first high speed rail in the US, but after enough delays and increasing budgets they compromised on its speed. The Brightline model is better than nothing, but I'd hardly call better than nothing a model for us to emulate.

Some problems are legitimate, but honestly even if the Australian government cancelled the project and restarted following many of these recommendations, it would be even further away from completion, as we would have to wait years again for new plans to be drafted, and it still won't be built immediately. In my mind, it is better to commit to a slightly flawed plan than to constantly restart because we think of a better way, as we have been doing for years, decades.

The reason we're looking at Sydney to Newcastle is that people complained Sydney to Canberra was too expensive/difficult when that was last proposed, and that Sydney to Newcastle is easier and shorter. Grass is always greener on the other side.

Huh, I just got blank CDs yesterday.

I keep hearing that Cities Skylines II has constant bugfixes because each fix reveals new bugs. It's better, but still divisive. More people continue playing the original, according to Steam's statistics.

Mammals are just jealous of the long enlightened reign of the dinosaurs, and want to paint the previous dynasty in a bad light to justify usurping the throne.

Given how Paradox published (not in-house developed) games are increasingly Windows only I'm not surprised. I hope they eventually release a Linux version anyway, but it's probably not a huge deal with Proton being so good for single-player games.
