This message brought to you by Jill Stein who pops up every four years to grift money and accomplish nothing except cozying up to Putin. I guess there is still the brain worm dead animal guy?

Third parties in the US are unserious. I wish that weren’t the case but that’s the reality.

They’re not expecting any one person to implement the whole thing.

Hahaha, tell that to leadership! 😩

If you can run 4k at high frame rates then sure but the performance hit can be huge and a lot of displays can only do 4k at 30Hz anyway which isn’t worth it when 1440p is usually an option.

Back in the day people paid for ringtones, wallpapers, etc. Dumbest thing ever were ‘ringbacks’ where you paid to have a song or something play when people called you. So the people buying it didn’t even hear it, they just forced other people to listen to a shitty low fidelity garbled mess of a song they liked while you waited for them to pick up the phone.

It’s kind of a paradox when you think about it. Good reviewers are often just regular people with a passion for tech but as they become more popular and prolific they become part of the industry itself. Once that happens even if they try to stay objective and critical their perspective is so different from regular people that reviews are just part of the sales and marketing strategy rather than pro tips from an enthusiast.

My career as a sysadmin consistently has me veering toward security and compliance and my brain is absolutely fried on trying to figure out what these huge docs actually mean, how they apply to the things I’m responsible for and what we’re supposed to do about it.

Props to all the folks that can do it without losing their mind.

Feels like this would be a bigger win for them than a lot of other companies. The people interested in privacy focused alternative to the Google/Microsoft/Apple offerings probably have a lot of overlap with Linux users.

Their mom’s basement, most likely.

Right in the middle of Berlin.

In their defense many people are exceptionally dumb.

People think that frame rate isn’t very noticeable until you give them access to a toggle that lets them double it.

Nihilism is for suckers. I’m going to make the world a better place and have some fun along the way too.

People who buy these things to play whatever Windows-only anticheat games seem willing to put up with a lot of jank. The issues you’re describing were exactly the sort of things that made me initially skeptical that the Stand Deck could deliver. Valve really managed to pull off something that is quite stable and easy to use compared to other devices in the same category.

Half Orc Barbarian already gets you like 50% of the way there.

Some sort of bug or mod issue caused Lae’zel’s camp clothes and underwear to go missing by default so the first camp cutscene with her threatening Tav she is completely nude. It’s very intimidating. I thought it was a one off thing but it happened with two other characters too so now shamelessly nude Lae’zel is part of my head cannon for the game.

I imagine the other characters telling her to put some pants on and she’s just like “Chk! No, make me.”

I take no delight in killing but Russian forces could leave Ukraine at any point and put an end to it.

unless they open source their code and/or provide some public interface to test and validate feed content

This honestly seems like a good idea. I think one of the ways to mitigate the harm of algorithmically driven content feeds is openness and transparency.

I like a lot of FFXII even though I get why it isn’t as beloved as others.

Yeah the golden age of streaming has long passed. Now it’s an expensive, ad-ridden fragmented mess of data harvesting.

Performance was ‘okay’ on my RTX2080 but I had to return it because the EA launcher was breaking steam controller input which made it unplayable.
