fun fact if you want your AGP graphics card to actually run in AGP mode rather than PCI 66Mhz mode you need to force it with nouveau.config=NvAGP=XYZ where the XYZ is maybe a bit field? 1 seems to be 4x, 2 seems to be 4x with fast writes (doesn't work), bit 3 doesn't seem to do shit, XYZ=8 seems to give you 8x mode

of course none of these will actually result in a working system, they just make xorg fall over when you run startx

heard some scum liberal MP on the news talking about how there are "men in women's prisons, just saying they're women so they can prey on women" - you know the shit.

so. can anyone point to any instances of that happening, ever? and on the counter-point, I imagine someone must know of the ghouls in the US sending trans women to men's prisons where horrific things then happen to them? or trans men getting fucked over, I'm easy

like I know that which prison a hypothetical trans person goes to is not the point. the point is to kill trans people. but I want to be able to point at this stuff.

I mean there's a lot of angles here
- e-bikes have had much more impact on CO2 emissions in aus than electric cars (good for everyone reasonable, bad for conservatives)
- e-bikes let kids and teenagers go much further without needing to get an adult involved (good for everyone reasonable, bad for conservatives)
- e-bikes reduce the number of short trips taken in cars in favour of hybrid trips with public transport (conservatives hate public transport, everyone else likes less cars on the road)
- safety regulations are absolutely not being followed. this one is actually a problem.
