  • If you skip everything deep fried, I don’t think the hamburger or side salade is that bad anywhere, even though the meat is ultra processed.

    At least in scandinavia fast food involves a lot of lies. Many of them market their products, as made from domestic ingredients, but several investigations have shows that they are just using loopholes to manipulate their definitions and in reality there is very little to non domestic.

    Meat usually comes from East-Europe and is just pressed into patties domestically. Vegetarian patties are imported from US, so they are not healthy and their carbon footprint is insane.






  • In my country information about who politician meets in the Parliament building should be open information by law.

    It’s very common that, if reporter asks for these documents they are suddenly misplaced or accidentally burned. It’s already a joke a this point.

    If they are doing shady shit, they could just go somewhere else.

    Whole idea is just to give a middle finger to transparency.

    Nobody is liable to those records and they want to keep it that way.

    You don’t just need laws for transparency, there also always has to be consequences throughout the line. It feels like everything that is passed these days, doesn’t have any.





  • Yeah, I build a 4 display setup for my son with 2 hdmi splitters and 3 almost identical displays ( model code in one was slightly different even though had bought 3 same displays ) and one older one from different manufacturer with same specs.

    Many desktop environments only saw 3 displays OOB. KDE was able to use 4, but it was unstable, especially with games and restart juggled the display order. Some trial, error and tweaking fixed most problems, but there was still some serious unstability due to different display models and spitters inability to fully reconcile differences. So, in the end it was a hardware problem.

    He still used that setup for a while.

    When my son settled on i3 desktop, solution was to buy a 4K TV and spit it to 4 displays with xrandr. Worked perfectly even with games (window borderless). He still set up a hotkey that made the 4 displays in to one, if some app/game didn’t like the split.

    I took those 4 displays because I had a multi-device setup and I needed a new display and was tired of using HDMI switch.




  • It comes from quantum mechanics where particles travel all possible routes and when making calculations you need to account for all possible variations, because they affect each other.

    When particle is measured, all variations disappear except one and that one continues thereafter without the affects of others.

    Multiword model dictates that the other variations don’t disappear. They just disconnect from our reality and continue elsewhere.

    Currently multiworld model is popular. Imho it 's the only one that properly explains all quantum phenomena.

    Although there is a good argument wether multiworld is proper science.
