Aren’t cockatiels parrots?
youngalfred@lemm.eeto Games@lemmy.world•Steam Deck and SteamOS hit 20,000 playable gamesEnglish7·1 month agoAre using Decky loader? The ProtonDB badges plugin is great for this!
Battlefront 2 - unsupported officially, but actually plays fine with no tweaking and gets a gold badge on protonDB.
Having the plugin shows the good badge on the games store and installed page
Yep - ‘open with m365 copilot’ has such a ring to it. Why they threw out their decades recognisable office branding is beyond me
youngalfred@lemm.eeto Sync for Lemmy@lemmy.world•Please give Sync a bad rating on the Play StoreEnglish13·5 months agoWill do - I jumped ship to Summit and haven’t looked back. The only thing that would be nice to have here is an instance browser.
youngalfred@lemm.eeto Gaming@lemmy.ml•Don't forget to make a 2nd save file just in case.13·6 months agoCan you reload old saves, or only the most recent? I think being able to reload an older save is important in the case of glitches (NPC walks through wall and is unreachable etc)
youngalfred@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.ml•Canada and Mexico respond with own tariffs against US21·6 months agoSo the article mentions tarrifs by Mexico, and provides a link to them - but they just go to a tweet from the Mexican President that say nothing about tarrifs.
What action are they taking?
youngalfred@lemm.eeto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•"Family Size" has no meaning anymoreEnglish5·6 months agoYep - grated cheese is a good example. The stuff they put in to make it not stick together can contain gluten.
youngalfred@lemm.eeto Sync for Lemmy@lemmy.world•Sync for Lemmy, is outdated and no longer in sync with apiEnglish5·7 months agoThanks for suggesting summit - I’ve tried many but never felt like they clicked. Summit feels nice- it has many of the same features, you can customise how posts look (even the width of cards!)
youngalfred@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•'Racist' and 'Classless' Husband of GOP Senator Won't Shake Kamala Harris' Hand28·7 months agoThis is what news.com.au in Australia (Murdoch media) sees as peak journalism.
They’ll regularly trawl Reddit and twitter for ‘stories’ and how the public reaction (read: 1 comment) is.It’s become a bit of a joke in the Australia subreddit to ask to be included in the screenshot.

youngalfred@lemm.eeto Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•A Map of the World Constructed from Time Zones2·8 months agoPerhaps random was the wrong choice of words. The construction of the theoretical time zones is completely non-random. Some of the country specific changes seem to be though.
I was thinking of the time zone carveouts that wrap around some islands - like Kiribati, where the IDL swings around it with giant straight lines that don’t resemble it’s EEZ. How were they decided? I can’t seem to find anything on it.
Seems though, for most international ocean travel, it doesn’t matter (per your excellent links- thankyou). Ships just use an idealized date line at 180 until they hit an EEZ and will use that if they need to communicate with that country.
youngalfred@lemm.eeto Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•A Map of the World Constructed from Time Zones2·8 months agoReally interesting!
I did a bit more searching and found This article, where the author intentionally used EEZ boundaries to make a time zone map that incorporates sovereignty.
He stated that currently Maritime time zones are randomly drawn straight lines on a map, that aren’t representative of the country that’s forcing change.
youngalfred@lemm.eeto Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•A Map of the World Constructed from Time Zones3·8 months agoOk so this raises a question that I couldn’t answer satisfactorily myself by googling.
Are deviations to time zones a land thing?What I mean is that the Northern Territory in Australia follows UTC +9.5, despite being in what would be considered the +9 band.
OP’s map shows the NT border, but the wiki image on time zones shows the boundary of the time zone extending into the sea between it and Indonesia.Does the time zone change (between +9 and +9.5) when I step foot in the NT, or does it follow something like the Exclusive Economic Zone?
youngalfred@lemm.eeto Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•A Map of the World Constructed from Time Zones18·8 months agoCould be Falkland islands? They’re 3 hours behind UTC, but that time zone band it’s in would be for -4 Amazon time
youngalfred@lemm.eeto Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•A Map of the World Constructed from Time Zones9·8 months agoYeah but none of our coast is the edge of a time zone (unless it showed daylight saving), so we’re invisible. Kind of cool.
youngalfred@lemm.eeto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•I live in the green part (obesity map)English6·8 months agoArea covered by lava?
Definitely look into it! I believe it’s a holdover from French colonisation. I don’t know what type is used but it is quite nice combined with the rest of the flavours.
