Not the same person, but in case it helps, monitor dbus for denied flatpak permissions and use flatseal to grant them? (Could try allowing everything in flatseal just to rule it out)

I don't use arch btw, but on fedora i have often found setroubleshoot useful for non-flatpak apps

I'm sorry you're missing out on Alyx - it's not the greatest game ever made, but it's up there.

Fortunately I've already played through Alyx a few years back (and it really is an amazing experience). These are issues I'm having since moving my rig away from Windows a few months ago. Even then, games are still playable on this setup, but the points above add a lot of friction that I'd really like to get rid of.

I'm using Arch-packaged Steam, so it's not running in flatpak. I suspect both the headset not detected and desktop view being unavailable issues are Wayland-related, but the Steam Frame itself is running Arch+KDE, and KDE is dropping X11 very soon, so I'm confused that this setup is not functional even in the latest version of SteamVR - it should be what the Frame is running, modulo the CPU architecture.

Commuting would be much nicer on quality ball-bearing drawer runners.

That battle was called "net neutrality", and the reason we who lost it fought it was to prevent web 2.0 becoming a set of giant moated properties.

Personally, I'd put twenty quid a month in a microtransaction wallet to cover hosting costs instead of ads, but that's not an option. I already pay for search.

I hate ad technology but it does, to a small extent, empower creators. Is there a better way? I don't think geocities is coming back.

> Government taxes almost never go down

Wasn't income tax 90% during America's golden age? What is it now?

"it going down will immediately be visible to consumers who will balk"

Data is an unpriced natural resource. Your pabulum is already priced. We should, generally, tax extraction, because otherwise the externalities are imposed on the public for free. In the case of mining, that's e.g. resources taken from the future; in the case of data, that's privacy taken from the public.

Data's probably more like air.

We are still trying to figure out how to hold people accountable for how they misuse air for manufacturing and power production. Water and soil were easier to work out, but we still flounder a bit. We've been slowly piecing air consumption together but Kyoto failed to deliver a holistic system that people would accept, so here we are experiencing record heat waves and droughts, which broke records that have already been broken twice in the last few decades.

Everything is a trade-off. Would you never ever under any circumstances accept even trivial breakage, even if it fixes a horrible wart that costs thousands of lost hours?

Naively: gluten comes from flour, so you're not moving the needle

I suppose you save shipping costs, and I'm aware that flour processed to remove the gluten is prized for cakes.

I add gluten to bread occasionally.

It good when making pizza and makes bread rise nicely.

How do the economics pan out? Do you pay more for gluten at higher purity than the ~10% you get when you buy it in sacks of flour?

The retail case is interesting, although maybe not indicative of wholesale

I suppose this is a function of whether gluten is a usable by-product of making low-protein cake flour. In that case i would expect industrial bread to simply add by-product gluten to cheaper flour. But that might obviate the search for higher-gluten wheat that the article describes. Really, i need more data.

It definitely doesn’t save money.

Tipo 00 is great for making pasta and pizza, but it can be hard to get.

I as 50g or so to a batch of normal bread to help it out. It’s pretty unscientific but it works.

Also: don’t spill it. If makes glue and is hard to clean off. It sets like rock.

I agree with "roads are neutral", but to be really precise, no they aren't; they are built by a polity at the expense of some other not-built roads, in a way that supports some types of traffic more than others. Compare Los Angeles to Utrecht.

The industrial age brought tech with enough downside to spark a reaction. Then there was a run of less-contentious tech. Recently, we've had a run of tech that looks to me like all downside for society. The conditions (neoliberalism) are still in place. People are not empowered by hf trading, web 2.0, social media. They could be, but the tech was co-opted. IMO, neither are they empowered, in the round, by crypto or AI.
