This new #palmoil tool does not include a single brand from #India #China #Indonesia or #Malaysia, the four largest consumption markets for palm oil, accounting for the majority of demand, and, likely, an even greater percentage of deforestation due to lax due diligence requirements.
We're not going to solve supply chain deforestation by only focusing on global north demand.

I actually agree that memory safe languages should be used more often. But my worry is that someone takes that general principal as an absolute.
As in rejecting projects made by C because the US government said so. Policy makers who don't understand what is going on could draft stupid legislation, businesses (or other such entities) with non programmer leads could make stupid policy.

Remote Play broken on Steam Deck with the February stable update
Valve just recently launched a big stable update to the Steam Client for both Steam Deck and Desktop PCs, which has come with one big issue for Steam Deck.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Thanks for reporting this. It’s technically been broken since SteamOS 3.5 because the gamma was so bad.
I suspect it requires a SteamOS fix and will have to come with 3.6.

ABC Classic FM is about to play Beethoven's first symphony. I LOVE Beethoven's music. During finals week at university I used to play all of his symphonies in a row while I was studying. However, as a kid I avoided one of the symphonies my parents owned. It was a vinyl record of the Eroica symphony with a funky seventies cover. I thought it was my parent's "sexy time" album! Eroica...Erotica, pretty close!
