One third of the population of Switzerland lives within 5 kilometers of the main train line crossing the country
  • Not as big a portion of the country, but yeah coastal areas will often have a large population living in roughly a line.

    In North America I believe the line connecting the most people would go from Quebec City through Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, London, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis (though maybe not within just 5 km of it). This is the most populous part of the Great Lakes Megalopolis and into the St. Lawrence.

  • *for 1 week's worth of groceries but yea..
  • As someone who immigrated to the US as a child, if leaving the US is even 10% as difficult for me as coming was for my parents, I don't think I'm capable of it despite having a fully remote job at a global company.

  • SteamOS 3.6.6 Preview for Steam Deck has fixes for ELDEN RING, system memory leak and more
  • FWIW Plasma 5.27 works very well on Wayland with AMD GPUs. The fact that desktop mode uses x11 is probably not related to them still using Plasma 5. I would guess once KDE announces an LTS version of Plasma 6 (possibly as early as 6.2?) they'll upgrade Steam OS to that.

  • Microsoft makes Copilot less useful on new Copilot Plus PCs
  • It's probably just a version of the "Office key" that would simulate pressing like 5 modifiers (that's where the Ctrl+Alt+Win+...+L opening LinkedIn comes from), but includes a final key. Windows might make it a pain to do, but on other OS's you could bind that key to whatever you want.

  • Now that Mozilla will start selling ads what is the best Firefox alternative?
  • FWIW, it's the Mozilla Foundation that owns the Mozilla Corporation. It's a minor nit, but also an important distinction, as the non-profit has more control (the opposite of many "<company> foundation" structures).

    Road crews improved 16.2% of the state’s federal-aid roads between 2021 and 2023, but it wasn’t enough to counter the 21.2% that declined.

    Can I hide posts from an entire instance?

    Question in the title. I don't want to see posts from lemmynsfw, but I don't want to just blanket disable NSFW stuff either since the tag gets used for other things. Is there a way to do this or do I have to individually block each community that shows up in my feed?

    Universities have small staffs to respond to FOIA requests, and they too liberally use privacy exemptions allowed by state law to delay the process, these experts say.
