There's definately places in NSW where you could experience SAD. Places in the Central West for example; Orange and Bathurst get quite gloomy during the winter.

The first half or so seems to stick with me a bit more than the run of songs following the title track. It's still early days though, so I'm sure after a few more listens it will all click for me

There's now an option to enable this, previously this was how Jerboa behaved with no way to disable it.

 

It may be an unpopular opinion, but I think Asymmetry is my favorite Karnivool album. As much as I love Sound Awake, I feel like this is their most coherent album. Here's just hoping we can get some more material from them soon.

I'm really starting to sense a major paradigm shift in the internet starting to take place. Inane policies like this, coupled with the backwards decisions that the major social media companies seem to be making really make me anxious to see what the Web is going to look like in a couple of years. Hopefully we'll see more federated services pop up, shielded by the direct influence of corporations and overbearing governments. But the cynic in me tells me this may be too much to wish for.

You definately have a point. I'm honestly not very well versed in the specifics of this situation, which is why I was curious. What repercussions do you think such a move would have from a diplomatic point of view between the UK and Norway? Building from that too, obviously Norway would have to agree to take them in first, which from the article I'm not sure if they have.

Is there any precedent for a territory of a country deciding to align with another nation? I'm just interested as to what the process would be, surely they can't just unilaterally decide they're no longer part of the UK.

It really depends on what software you have installed. Quite a few packages require Python to function, and removing it will prevent/affect their functioning. This is one of the main advantages of Arch though: you start with a bare-bones system, and build from there as you need. One question though, why do you need to uninstall Python?

Still waiting for the Deck to become officially available in Australia, but I'm pleased to see the progress recently in Linux gaming in general.

Arch. I've been running it on my laptop for the last 3 years, and I've only switched my gaming PC from Windows in the last couple of months. Really impressed with how much Proton has improved since the Steam Deck has come out.

Moved from Ubuntu as I was having issues with the WiFi drivers on my laptop, and both my systems have been rock solid ever since.

I've never heard of having to boil tank water before, is this a requirement or more of a precaution?

It was probably a bit minimal in the story department, but I thought the cinematography was outstanding, especially in the last hour or so. That one-shot sequence in the building was probably one of my favourite sections in any movie I've seen recently.

I think that's one of the main advantages of Android for me. So much can be done without root access. Want to change the home screen UI? There's an option in the settings for that, and multiple UIs available on the Play Store. Need more traditional file management? Apps can request storage access, and you have what is essentially a user home directory by default. Want to change your theme? You can.

I've very rarely come across any reason to root my Android device, and as you said, it's usually just not worth the hassle.

 

Couldn't find any individual tracks on YouTube to share, so I've just posted the full album stream. The whole album is a masterpiece in my opinion, but check out track 3 'Cyclic' as a good example of the album's sound.

 

I'm really loving the use of dynamics on this album, easily one of my top AOTY contenders
