So, my Valve Index arrived. As you may know, it officially supports Linux.
It works, sort of, but dear god what a mess that was to get working.
Within the span of one evening, I have seen it all: GPU freezing, failing to aquire a DRM lease, firmware updates crashing, latency, and some weird swap chain flickering issue.
It works, though. On Linux. And I have a plethora of paths to get it perfect. This weekend will be awesome.

If 1/2 of the road space would be reserved for slow traffic:
👉 1/2 of the passenger kilometres travelled by car can be shifted to public transport, e-bikes, bicycles & walking
👉 CO₂ emissions could be cut by 40%
👉 a reduction in accidents could save up to 76 million Swiss francs annually
👉 Mobility will also become cheaper for households
👉 from current damages of around 500 million Swiss francs into long-term benefits of around 1 billion
Nice visualisations…

“The lack of vision has led transport policy down a dead end.”
Cities can expand their bike lane networks significantly without causing additional congestion on the roads. That is the conclusion reached by the ETH research project E-Bike City. Project lead and transport researcher Kay Axhausen explains the implications for traffic, the environment and costs. 

Is there a way to configure the Linux kernel or a tool that puts a laptop into a "no-fan" mode? Like, if it gets too hot, reduce the CPU frequency. It's definitely possible to run my laptop without the CPU fan, by reducing the cpufreq scaling_max_freq enough for all cores. But what I'd want is "you're allowed to go to whatever freq you still can do safely without running the fan, but auto-reduce if it gets too hot, never use the fan".

It’s infuriating that every Substack email comes with a “read in app” link but it just takes you to the App Store, even if you have the app installed already. If you then tap “Open”, it just opens the app; it doesn’t take you to the specific post you were trying to read.
Yes, websites can’t tell which apps you have installed. Which is why Substack should link to the web version with a Smart App Banner. Not rocket science, but I guess that would make it too easy to avoid the app??
