It’s not the flights per se, but the worrying future it suggests.

I think it’s that they realize peak oil is over. The middle east is a geopolitica strategic position for energy, as the world is now finding out via Iran closing the SoH.

Israel realised that that is on the wane. Along with the next generations attitytowards their relationshipnwith Israel. Israel is going hard in now as they have a larger support from the USA. I fully expect that to naturally wind down due to internal US political change and global moves away from carbon fuel.

Sure, oil shocks would still bite, but nowhere near to the same level. It’s why the other oil production states are desperately trying to pivot to other industries. Iran has screwed that by making them unsafe. America doesn’t realize that by not protecting their allies there, in the same way they protect Israel, that they will lose them.

I think were pretty screwed either way. If they ramp down, Iran sees them as an existential threat and ramps up nuke capability, but now with less sanctions and more money. Iran with nukes makes Israel more twitchy as they see it as an existential threat.

If USA ramps up, we’re in for a long protracted war and instability.

So we’re screwed either way.

No, it’s not, it’s a single transferable vote. See Ireland.

Why eliminate below a percent. Just eliminate the lowest rank candidate and redistribute. Keep going until you have your winner.

So, like a cheese board on a sunny day?

I was holding off on tailscale, with the intention of doing it eventually as I thought it would be a chore. Took about 5 minutes. Do it now. Before you set up local address bookmarks that you’ll have to change.

I imagine that while that maybe was involved in their reasoning, that they are more worried about steam deck. Xbox is circling the drain. Steam deck is gaining steam. Ahem.

Their model is based on subscription to use online features. That becomes a harder sell when the hardware is also much more expensive. So, they will want to make gamers miss out by not having a PlayStation, similar to past console battles. However, in the past people picked a side and stuck with it. A gen or two ago, many gamers had more than one console or a console and a gaming able PC. I think that’s going to shrink with the cost rises.

They want people to choose PlayStation as their first choice. I don’t think people will, so it might mean they lose on both, so it’s a gamble. However, they can port to PC at any time, so I expect that’s what they will do.
