Caveat: I don’t speak German.

I guessed that this was a wordplay on more/less in German so I checked the original German meme in the link which shows the words meer on the left and weniger on the right. According to my translate app, the word “mehr” means more and the word “meer” means sea. (Weniger means less) I’m guessing meer/mehr are pronounced similarly and that’s the joke but idk.

    Look obviously she is complicit/lying, and we all can see that. But what also bothers me is how our society approaches dealing with people like her.

    As a person in a position of power/leadership she is expected to have good judgement. That’s the same sort of thing we expect of a pilot in an aircraft. If the weather forecast says the weather will get bad in a few hours, other pilots warn the pilot about the weather getting bad, and the controller radios the pilot before takeoff saying “hey the weather is getting bad, are you sure?” and then the pilot takes off and has a crash due to weather - we all say this person has bad judgment and should not be a pilot.

    So even IF she were telling the truth (which she is not), she was warned repeatedly about this specific outcome and ignored it. Everyone who cares remotely about this issue should be saying “Best case she has poor judgment and shouldn’t be in charge of anything.”

    It’s a Linux distro that is gaming focused. Based on Fedora but preloaded with gaming software like emulators and Steam. It’s pretty easy to install and run without knowing anything about Linux so it’s growing in popularity among gamers that don’t like Microslop.

    You’re absolutely right that is a major problem. The biggest reason is the mismatch between what your inner ear says (we are not moving) and what your eyes tell you (we are moving). I get nauseous really easily in VR.

    That said I just bought a steam frame and have had pretty good luck because of how I’m using it. It’s completely wireless and I have a large space I can use it in. So I’ve been playing things that don’t require fast movement and where you have a space to explore / move around in. This allows me to physically walk around the real room while exploring in VR. It’s made a huge difference but not everyone has the luxury of a big empty room they can use for that. I just mention this in case anyone else was like me and wants to do VR but gets nauseous easily.
