  Two big things I’ve noticed:

  1. They removed the Chromecast queue feature. So if I’m casting to my TV, I can either play one video at a time, or I can enable autoplay and see what the algorithm decides to serve me - I can’t queue up a few videos and just watch those, like I used to be able to.

  2. Playlists are becoming harder and harder to use. Finding the button to add a video to a playlist, moving videos from one playlist to another, and managing playlists in general has all become more difficult recently.

  IDK, I think Trump is still the most dangerous. He’s the most unhinged, and the Supreme Court recently ruled that he can’t be punished for any of the actions he takes as president. That combination makes him scarier than the others IMO.

  I think they’re implying a comparison to the PS4. It was notoriously difficult to get a PS4 for months after it’s release because it was constantly sold out

  Guys, you’re thinking about this way too hard. Pictures like this have been floating around the Internet for decades. It’s not fancy ai downscaling or any sort of fingers, they’ve just been JPEGed into oblivion

  I’m leaning towards real, there’s signs in the background that have coherent text on them, instead of weird, unintelligible, almost-letters.

  Not op, but imma be honest with you, I’m currently drunk at an airport bar and I appreciate the absolute fuck out of this tldr

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just want to make cookies :(⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not op, but for small quantities, volumetric is usually more accurate. I know a teaspoon of yeast weighs about 3 grams, but most cheap kitchen scales can’t really be trusted until you’re measuring 10 grams or or more. A teaspoon of dried oregano is so light it probably doesn’t even register on most cheap kitchen scales.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I will continue to argue that GenX is the only true technology literate generation because we grew up with the technology as it evolved.

  This is a terrible argument. Technology is always evolving. There have been like 10 different versions of Windows that I’ve used growing up as a millennial, across 3 different architectures, with huge advances in storage, memory, CPU speeds, and graphics processing - it’s pretty ignorant to dismiss all that and claim Gen X “grew up with the technology”. Like duh, every generation “grows up with the technology” of their generation.

  I think the point I’ve seen elsewhere on this post is more accurate - every generation has some technologically literate people and some technologically illiterate people. Congrats, you happen to be literate, but I guarantee for every one of you, there’s also a Gen X’er that can barely function a computer enough to check their email. Just like the boomer generation, and the millennials, and even Gen Z and Alpha. This whole “XYZ generation is the most ABC” bullshit is just another way to create divides, and make people forget we’re all way more alike than we are different.

  Yup, runs super smooth out of the box with Proton, and changing to Vulkan in the video settings

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right? Dude Vulkan has impressed me a bunch lately. I use it for Deadlock and it feels much smoother than the streamers I see using DirectX, which is crazy since Deadlock is super early alpha. More stuff needs to support Vulkan

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has he done to deserve this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly! Weather happens at temperatures lower than water’s freezing point, and much lower than it’s boiling point, so using those two reference points to measure weather temps against isn’t very convenient.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has he done to deserve this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Y’all preach about how much better the metric system is because it’s base ten and super intuitive, then measure weather temperature on a scale from -20C to 40C 🥴

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Overwatch 2 may get 6v6 again as Blizzard try to bring back the "chaotic, over-the-top" variety of the first game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We learned at the end of 2020 that Overwatch is at its best when it’s constantly updated and always feeling fresh. The patch cadence was never faster than it was at the end of 2020, and the game felt amazing.

  In my opinion, 6v6 won’t work unless the patch cadence speeds up to what it was back then. 6v6 means long DPS queue times, and was unbearable at the end of OW1. If OW2 want looming around the corner back then, the game would have died. The fast patch cadence keeping the game fresh somewhat makes up for the 10, 15, 20 minute queue times.

  That being said, the current implementation of 5v5 misses the mark as well. DPS and Support players are somewhat spoiled with 5v5, both with queue times and gameplay. But the Tank role suffers mightily. Over the years the game and hero design philosophy has shifted to be dependent on 2 tanks being able to soak up enemy cooldowns, cover for each other, and protect the team. Putting all that responsibility on one player sucks.

  Aaron’s blog post makes me hopeful that they’re gonna try stuff beyond 1-2-2 5v5 versus 2-2-2 6v6 though, which is exciting. I don’t envy the dev team because this is an incredibly difficult problem to solve, but it seems like they’re willing to get more creative about trying to solve it than they have been in the past, which is nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I too love watching CP 😍⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought the plot and storytelling was heart-wrenching. It’s only like ten episodes where the game is like 60-80 hours of content, and it only follows one specific plot thread, not one of the dozens in the game. So I feel like it’s unfair to try and draw a one-to-one comparison between the two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 is around the corner, but Nintendo announces a new Switch accessory anyway⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a dual joycon grip that comes with the console in certain combo pack thingies, but there’s also an aftermarket one you can buy. The one that came with my console doesn’t have a charge port, but my aftermarket one does. I’m pretty sure it’s a first party Nintendo product, but I could be wrong.

  The fact that Nintendo is just now making a joycon cradle is insane though, along with the fact that it can only charge two at a time. I bought a 3rd party joycon cradle months after getting my switch for like 20 bucks, and it can fit 4 joycons.
