If Treasury and RBNZ are correct that the low point of this economic cycle will occur this year, then people will feel like things are improving by election time next year. The public has a very short memory so I have zero confidence that they will vote them out for making the downturn worse.
National will campaign hard on how it’s getting better and the public will eat it up because they’re the party of FiScAl ReSpOnSiBiLiTy
Star Wars: Squadrons and BallasticNG spring to mind. They will definitely make you get motion sickness though if you’re not fully acclimatised to VR.
I had so little to go on I even tried guessing
Down the street to the mart for a packet of Marlborough blue

I can recommend Yanis’ actual book titled Technofeudalism. It’s an easy read for lay audiences as he’s written it as if he was explaining the outcomes of his research in simple terms to his father.
I found it to be a fresh take compared to most post-capitalist research that I’ve read over the last few years.
Being based in New Zealand, the XX90 cards come with a significant markup and are wholly unaffordable. They’re priced at about 8% of the median pre-tax salary. I built an entire premium sim rig for less than the cost of a 4090.
It should be DOA but it’ll still sell out for the next couple of months. Think my 3080 will need to last 2 more years unless there is a 5080 ti that uses cut down 5090 dies.
lol. I searched “nvidia 570 Linux” less than a week ago and nada. Just did it again based on you comment and it looks like it was released 2 days ago.
You’re an absolute legend! Thanks for the heads up.
VRR that works with multiple monitors connected. Unfortunately that’s an Nvidia driver issue rather than a missing Linux protocol, so could be waiting a while.
I’ve recently switched to Fedora KDE running version 6 and HDR looks great. Well worth the wait.

For those that hit the paywall.
Get ready for private … roads
Yes, because Australia has proven that privately owned toll roads are sooooo profitable without the government guaranteeing returns. /s
R was created at the University of Auckland in New Zealand which is probably why he’s on the cover.
Obligatory “shagged by a parrot” video: https://youtu.be/9T1vfsHYiKY
During the Stephen Fry doco “Last Chance to See” a Kakopo started furiously humping a member of the BBC film crew.
Damn. Ah well thanks for tracking that down. I think I found the git project page earlier but didn’t look through the issues log.
A bit off topic, but is anyone running a Simagic wheel for racing on Linux? I’ve kept a large windows drive solely for my sim racing racing but looking through proton it appears that most of the games are compatible. Only concern now would be whether my hardware is supported.
Pretty happy that I’ll be dead with no descendants when things really start to get bad. I’m doing my best in my country to try and avert or at least mitigate the worst effects of climate change, but it’s more and more of a struggle each day.
Movie day just a whole lot more interesting.
