"my law..." "my study..."

yeah, i think the author wants a law named after them. the first half of the article is also... junk?

People on reddit are absolutely losing their minds over the lack of steam workshop support, but if Paradox wants stuff to be available to console users and all PC users, it's really the only option.

My concern is how it'll interact with Steam Proton on Linux, and just generally if their mods platform will be any good.

A good article, a lot of those advantages I wasn't aware of! I think DisplayPort unfairly got a bad rap as "oh, I have to buy another cable now" when it was new, but it's obviously the better choice now. Although I still hate DisplayPort's latching, makes it so hard to unplug cables in tight spaces. I'd rather old-style screws than the latch on all the DP cables I've used.

Is there any market research at all indicating that customers want 6"+ displays?

Unfortunately, yes. People who buy smaller phones are the people who buy a new phone less often, and small phones tend to sell worse than the big models (see S10e, iPhone 12(?) Mini) so don't get renewed. Would be nice if they did.

These laws exist in Australia already, Facebook and Google claimed they'd pull out of the country and of course they just came to an agreement with almost all news companies and life moved on.

My worry would be who is funding it and how they plan to keep operating. Venture Capital startups will always betray their users.

Beeper is Matrix in a trenchcoat, judging by their Github page.

In the back of it, it seems to be a series of Matrix bridges https://github.com/beeper

I've heard good things about Kagi, but I can't justify the cost (especially as its USD)

Large tech companies only join protocols like this with the aim of killing them; any Mastodon instance worth its salt should defederate from Meta as soon as they go live with it.

My first thought was; did Jill Stein's 2016 campaign have any real impact on the result?

Looking at this table of results implies that if all Stein voters had voted for Clinton, then maybe Clinton would have won Michigan (final EC result is still 290:248), but the contests elsewhere either weren't close enough, or didn't have enough Green voters to matter. Looking at that table, it's clear that the Libertarians had a much bigger impact.
