VanillaOS. Perhaps not quite ready for prime time, but in a sea of distros where the only difference is a slightly different default config, VanillaOS is doing something distinct and different.
Individual action cannot be a solution for the climate crisis. The whole idea of individual responsibility for climate impact is the divide and conquer strategy of big business as ultimate form of the collective action problem.
It's because interest rates went up and the free VC money tap was turned off so all these companies have to actually turn a profit, so they're squeezing us with every lever they control.
Yup. At most, Signal gets removed from the Play Store. There's no meaningful way to block Signal, especially now that big CDN providers are starting to rollout Encrypted Client Hello.

EU used to provide almost all the funding for preserving, teaching and promotion of Cornish. After Brexit, Cornwall is now getting less than half the funding that EU would have provided.

Maybe the long-standing SMT bug? Basically, when two threads on the same core are running, and one of the threads discards its cache, due to this bug, the cache is discarded for all the threads on the same core. This causes a temporary FPS dip.
A proper fix is due in SteamOS 3.5, but you can also turn off SMT by installing PowerTools Decky plugin to see if it helps.
Not familiar with PWM. I know it's some anti-flicker tech, but nothing else. I've never noticed flicker on Steam Deck's screen [edit: but I'm not very sensitive to it].
Steam Deck does have an adjustable refresh rate screen which can be set to any refresh rate between 40 and 60 Hz. It does not support VRR (real time adjustment), but usually you play around to get best FPS you can, then you lock the refresh rate to the same frequency (unless your FPS is below 30, then you lock it to twice the rate).
However, if you connect the Steam Deck to an external screen that does support VRR, Steam Deck is compatible and will work. Just not with the inbuilt screen.
Steam Deck has VSync on by default to prevent tearing, and it's applied on top, to all games. You can optionally disable VSync by toggling the 'Allow Tearing' option in the quick menu.
I concur. It changed the way I play games, especially last gen and indies.
