DLSS is extremely noticeable to me at stronger levels. I usually turn it on but keep it set to “quality” instead of “performance”. It’s still slightly noticeable but not that bad at that setting.

Stronger DLSS just looks like blurry mush to me.

The reason you do stuff in a venv is to isolate that environment from other python projects on your system, so one Python project doesn’t break another. I use Docker for similar reasons for a lot of non-Python projects.

A lot of Python projects involve specific versions of libraries, because things break. I’ve had similar issues with non-Python projects. I’m not sure I’d say Python is particularly worse about it.

There are tools in place that can make the sharing of Python projects incredibly easy and portable and consistent, but I only ever see the best maintained projects using them unfortunately.

I sometimes use VPN software like LogMeInHamachi or Tailscale to play Minecraft multiplayer with friends over the internet.

Basically it makes your computers act as if they are on the same LAN. It should work for playing any game with LAN multiplayer support over the internet.

Similar to a car crash, you are generally safer in your padded engineered metal box than being thrown out of it, or thrown around inside it.

It’s like the difference between dropping a carton of eggs vs a bunch of loose eggs in a box.

The entire state of Massachusetts is full of psychopaths

That part’s real though

Why is the Nintendo logo AI generated?

You can still make stupid mistakes in Rust. It may make it harder to make the most common mistakes, but pretending the guardrails are prevent any type of mistake is asking for a problem to happen.

I have a 4k120hz gaming monitor and I have some HDMI cables that don’t support that quality.

I also just use DisplayPort because it’s better anyway (e.g. lower latency).

Hmm maybe I’ll look into it again. The concern had something to do with having to spoof a serial number. I own Final Cut and would love to have the beefy GPU and CPU in my desktop accelerate it, but also am very afraid of losing my main account with that and a lot more. Already my current workflow is to render on my old MacBook as uncompressed, then transfer it to my desktop and use FFMPEG to compress. Better results and much faster than trying to have my MacBook do any sort of video compression.

I got macOS running in a VM on my Linux desktop. But then I didn’t want to connect my main iCloud account because I have heard they may ban you if you they detect you are doing stuff like this.

Without an iCloud account I can’t really do the stuff I actually would want to use macOS for, like using Apple’s movie editing software, or making iPhone apps with XCode. The default mail app is nicer than any alternative for Linux I’m aware of, at least.

I got a monitor stand to put my monitor such that the middle of the screen was level with my eyes. Made my neck hurt worse. It needs to be a bit below eye level.

I like GoG for the idea of getting games DRM free. I buy from them when I can.

But there’s some key features of Steam GoG just can’t compete with:

• multiplayer infrastructure
• gifts and other interactions with friends

I bought BG3 on Steam instead of GoG solely to make it easier to play multiplayer with my friends.

And these features of Steam you can take advantage of even if you buy from GoG (but where would we be without Steam?)

• VR support
• controller support
• linux support (proton)

Also there’s a much better selection on Steam. But sometimes that’s a bad sign. If a game is present on GoG and Steam, that’s a good sign there isn’t a dedication to shitty DRM, even in the Steam version. If a game is present on Steam only, you have to watch out because that game might be DRM-ridden.

I’ve watched the whole thing. It’s so close to something I’d really like, at least in concept. But the ball is dropped so hard in crucial areas :(

I’ll replace my iPhone when it breaks. That’s what I did last time 4 years ago

At least be accurate.

The “Pro” model iPhone has a lot of the features you are calling out the non-pro one for not having. Also no non-proprietary lossless audio streaming would be more accurate.

It hasn’t actually been $5 in a long time. It was like $7 last time I went (a few years ago).

What about the test case where I’m using the browser’s dev tools to re-send http requests in random orders?

But your so brainwashed you think you don’t have a choice to not go to church lol.

You’re so brainwashed you think this is what 100% of religion looks like. I choose to go to my church and I know my church does not support and will not stand for priests committing crimes.

"My denomination of the KKK is a good one, we barely do any racism. "

This argument is assuming religion is fundamentally organized about hurting children, which is, of course, ridiculous. This is a textbook strawman argument.

The fallacy doesn’t have to do with whether or not people have a choice in participating, it’s taking the absolute most extreme worst subset of a group and using that to represent the entire group, despite there being a huge variety and that subset really being only representative of a tiny fraction.

That’s why I’m equating it to the idea that all Americans are war mongers. It’s a closely related train of thought to racism and sexism as well.

Because they all fit on the same road
