Where does this screenshot come from? I see this same format often.

I haven’t said it in a while because for the past two years or so this sentiment has been woven into the fabric of my being.

This screenshot is cherrypicked and (maybe) not a good representation, but this is the tier of discussion going on in the worldnews live thread:

I don’t know anything about game development especially AAA ones but games requiring a NASA supercomputer to perform normally with the help of AI upscaling and frame generation while looking not that much better really gets my goat. Recent example is Outer Worlds 2. [I found this short video comparing its graphics with this first entry.)(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oi74SmWUCDM) What does the second game do that makes it run like molasses on my graphics card, GTX 1650? I don’t get it.

India is subservient to the USA. It’s because we have the largest trade surplus against them by a huge margin ($45 billion, the next largest is $17 billion) so the economy is reliant on the USA buying our low value added goods and cheap services. There is no scope or plan to catch up in technological capabilities so the only option is to bootlick.

Hindutva fascists have also been sympathetic to israel since the beginning. This was in contrast to the Indian National Congress who at least nominally supported Palestine. I don’t know why this is (apart from the rabid Islamophobia). As a result of this the BJP government of today has warm relations with israel.

It’s like you spot a leech globbed on to you and you impose a blood tax on it because removing it is authoritarian.

Yeah there are strange takes on both sides. Doctorow for example talks about liberating LLMs and his act of liberation is just… using a local model. Normal people cannot liberate LLMs because asidr from the extremely high level of expertise, it requires a bonkers amount of resources. As such the only thing adjacent to liberation that is happening right now is the release of Chinese open source models. No one gives a fuck about Mistral, Trinity or Llama. But Doctorow does not get into the details of this liberation.

Tante’s post on the other hand also has soms good bits. Purity testing is an idealistic distraction but purity testing is often used as a strawman to distract from what he called negative externalities. But the part about Omelas is just crazy. Who reads that story and concludes that the correct choice to walk away?

New Paranormasight game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2701440/PARANORMASIGHT_The_Mermaids_Curse/

The first build uploaded on steam didn’t have denuvo (lmao) so it can be pirated.

The royalty stripping is also pretty recent. From this December I think.

Nah I won’t let them unprince him for the noncery which is a basic prerequisite for being a british monarch. I will always call him prince.

Why is Prince Andrew being made to eat shit now rather than at any point in the last decade? His connections to Epstein and complicity in the abuse have been well known for a while. For the arrest they cite “leaking confidential information” which could be based on new information but he had bismirched the good name of the Royal Family (may God save them) a long time ago. So they could have at least stripped him of his royal titles.

I am not convinced by the numbers shown here. Onlyfans user count is relatively very low so it becomes a non-factor. Stuff like tiktok and gambling follows different usage patterns (require less time/effort commitment) because of which these activities aren’t completely mutually exclusive. Feels like the report or the author sees a rise in gambling/porn revenue, assumes that this rise would have still existed in their absence and would have belonged to video games, then concludes that video game money is being eaten into.

Not what is based or unbased about this. It’s just a shot of a protestor then of some police with dramatic music. As far as the things that usually in protests and the ensuing response from state forces nothing is shown here.

Rate limits are independent of the image storage backend. The rate limit for uploading images are probably a bit conservative.

The image uploading service (pictrs) has some deduplication feature. I am assuming it saw that the checksum of your image already exists in the database and just gave you an alias instead of storing the image your uploaded. Uploading a new image with a new checksum bypassed this feature.

Not that they don’t work but it’s a half decent way to bypass denuvo. Recent example: Shinobi: Art of Vengeance

What distro do you use for gnome?

No I hadn’t thought of using GNOME. Thanks for the suggestions. I didn’t know those extensions existed.

It’s not packaged by the distro: https://voidlinux.org/packages/?arch=x86_64&q=cosmic

There is also the option of using lxqt. Its wayland session allows integrating niri, sway etc. I haven’t given it a go yet.

I am not sure what the statue is supposed to symbolise but it looks nice.
