thethrowboat··on Pollution from tire wear is worse than exhaust emissions?
"Non-exhaust emissions (NEE) are particles released into the air from brake wear, tyre wear, road surface wear and resuspension of road dust during on-road vehicle usage."
thethrowboat··on Rocket League left behind on macOS and Linux due to DirectX 11 shift
I thought steam only supports ubuntu and therefore games only support ubuntu. That being said, I use arch and most games just work.

60 fps@1440p with gtx 1060 on linux, can't remember if it was limited to 60 fps, but that was good enough for me. Never tried in windows.

Atleast I got dlc refunded. I had to make manual refund ticket, automatic one was rejected because I had few hundred hours of game time.

It's strange to me that they could support linux and mac back when they were smaller, but now that epic owns them and rl generates 50M(?) per year, they can't.

Isnt left lane for overtaking usually? Just speed up a bit and merge to right. And safe driving style (keep your distance) would save you from falling stuff much better than car that does 0-60 in 4 seconds.
thethrowboat··on Apple AirPods: iPhone accessory or the next big thing?
What does air pods mean? I guess they are bluetooth headphones, but what are the specs, do they work with non-apple hardware/software? I would have to search for that info, so its just the same if they were called AIR IPX7 T10.

I'm beginner programmer and even the early puzzles seem very hard, but after some thought you get correct answers and then you can check from youtube how real programmers do it.
thethrowboat··on RMS: GitHub has done terrible harm to our community
If you wanted to use that little piece of code, wouldn't it be better if it was open source? I remember when you could only get exe and projects didnt even think of sharing the code, even if it was just some small project.

I dont know whats wrong with that, isnt it better they buy green cars than ICE cars?

Could be that you cant see motorcycle coming because your car blocks the view.
