Okay but an OLED wasn’t exactly ahead of it’s time. Every smartphone had an OLED since like 2011 barring iPhone and crappier androids.

Yes, but again - not by SM/apps/big tech, just by the establishment and grifters. Same as it always was with the press.

Tomatoes are biologically fruit, but culinary they are a vegetable.
You wouldn’t expect them to put an orange slice on your burger because you asked for some veg, would you? But you’d expect tomatoes.

Idk, people here are definitely on average more sane than on mainstream platforms. This also isn’t to do with big tech or billionaires, it’s the fact that even knowing of Lemmy has a certain intellectual barrier that filters out the non-thinking masses.

This is from 2013. This has nothing to do with big tech, people are just stupid.
- Comment on Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart? 1 week ago:
Oh yeah for sure. I still go back and play the main story mode of Crash Team Racing every year as a ritual, on the other hand I’ve literally never played mario kart so the answer is obvious.

I definitely prefer self-checkouts and in-store screen ordering, I don’t want to speak to some stressed out guy on minimum wage and stress him out more because he can’t hear or speak properly and will get my order wrong and get me frustrated.
The touchscreens are usually really simple and easy to navigate. Plus all the upsells for meals etc. are easy to skip past if you can navigate a basic dark pattern, compared to the human who has to say it then you have to hear it and respond etc. which is very slow + and you need to take your earphones off or at least pause your music to do it which always just sucks.
At least in principle - that’s a lot better, in practice in my experience too.
I’m sorry mr.boomer but when I worked fast food I didn’t do so for “human connection”, I did it to not be homeless and so I could eat and my worst nightmare on till duty was if someone wanted to speak to me, and I’d just wish for them to fuck off so I can keep daydreaming and blocking out the traumatizing levels of noise and shit going on.
As a customer - I don’t go to subway for “human connection” - I go there because I fell asleep after work and now I’m starving, I don’t go to Starbucks to harass the barista or the other souls inside who just want to be left alone like everyone does, I go there to get my 500kcal coffee treat to remind myself of better days and leave as soon as possible.

Idk his render pipeline breakdown videos seem fairly in-depth. Is it just mumbo-jumbo? I saw some discussion where some devs seemed to acknowledge the perspective but say basically past 10 years of graphics make non-deferred render pipelines utterly unfeasible and thus MSAA

I can’t believe this PoS is being used still. I left school like 10 years ago and it’s what we used. I remember one dumbass teacher issued a template for a coursework then tried to fail everyone because it flagged shigh similarity scores because of his own template. Keyword tried because everybody threw enough of a fit to make it stop.

lol enjoy your unseasoned boiled wheat, troll
Isn’t unseasoned grains boiled in water more of an asia thing, like rice?
Brits are using on average 250 cloves of garlic per year. If you genuinely think it’s weird and are not making a weird troll attempt here, I’m afraid you’re the weird one. I guess that’s weird either way.
But yet I’ve never heard a single Brit using so much garlic it stinks in the next apartment over, nor steams up their windows as you implied lol.
Demanding that everyone who comes to your country either stops cooking the food they grew up eating or keeps it a secret is not reasonable, and is oppressive.
I did not make such a demand, I said manage any unusual smells you emit. You need to chill out, I eat my country of origin’s food too, I just make sure that if it’s smelly, like say sardines or something, I dont leave it out or make so much of it that it disturbs my neighbours.
When I lived in a foreign country, I didn’t stop cooking my home country’s food; indeed, I shared it with my new friends in that country and we all enjoyed the experience. (No doubt this violation of my own privacy is strange to you…)
Do you not understand the difference between friends and family - willing participants, and strangers, like random neighbours or passers-by on the street you don’t own?
Because consent is everything, the former are willing participants, the latter are not.
Why do you want random strangers to know what you ate?
Hence the analogy, it’s the same question as why would you want others to know what you’re watching by blasting video on speaker on the bus?
Yeah newsflash dumbass, I also share my country of origin’s food with my friends and family and they also love it. I’m not so sure my neighbours or random strangers would love it if I threw it in their face or made the neighborhood smell like it.
Most people in the UK are right wing by voting intention. What’s your point with this?
My point is that you accused me of oppression by demanding you hide your culture, a right-wing viewpoint which I did not state and do not advocate for.
I do support diversity - a left-wing viewpoint - but I also support courtesy, and in this instance the two are seemingly at odds, and I’m forced to pick and defend the courtesy.
I’ve seen people in the past assume that my dislike of some asian food is indication of right-wing beliefs. I linked the survey that suggests - statistically it is not so.
While yes, to an extent this is just a survey of popularity of takeaways generally, that explanation doesn’t account for the entire difference nor the variance between choices. If it was just a popularity of takeaways contest or general popularity of the political parties, all of the bar charts would have the same order.
It doesn’t account for the variance in order, e.g. Labour is currently second in voting intention, but on the chippy graph it is third, after Tories, and first on the pizza graph.
Those two things are completely unconnected. Treat others as you’d like to be treated is a moral fundamental; it does not follow from a desire for privacy. A desire for privacy follows from a selfish (but entirely legitimate) desire not to suffer consequences for personal choices that don’t affect others.
Idk, for me fundamentally treating others as you’d like to be treated is about the social contract of tolerance - which is about not bothering anyone for their innate characteristics, to me if you follow the line of thought then “bother” can be defined as disruption and interference on top of outright obvious discrimination, and that includes emitting uncontrolled amounts of disruptive smells on unconsenting unsuspecting others.
It is less severe than punching someone in the face, or being punched in the face, but it is not categorically different, if that makes sense.
someone looks over my shoulder at what’s on my phone and sees I’m listening to Abba, that’s an intrusion into my privacy, but the person hasn’t suffered anything that I wouldn’t wish on myself.
You’ve got it the wrong way around:
If I look over your shoulder at what’s on your phone, and see you listen to Abba, I’m intruding your privacy.
I shouldn’t do this, because I don’t want for you to look over my shoulder and see that I’m listening to Electric Light Orchestra’s underrated album “Time” and looking kinda sad when “Ticket to the Moon” comes on.
If you do so accidentally, on say packed public transport, it’s okay, but we as a society should strive to eliminate this sort of overcrowding, IMO.
It’s the same as me being forced to smell your BO. I do not want it. I do not consent to it. Wear deodorant, and I will as well.
Basic stuff, frankly.
So as I said, these are completely separate, unrelated concepts.
No. They are intrinsically connected, as I said.
Both are ultimately stemming from a desire to be left alone.
This is extremely far from normal. We’re social creatures.
This is a bioessentialist broad generalisation that doesn’t hold true when you consider how many people hate places that have many people.
I’d even go as far as to say that maybe we are social creatures in a world of like 4 million humans, not 8 billion humans.
I’m wondering if you’re autistic - it would explain an aversion to strong sensory experiences like smelling garlic, and to social interactions that are normal to most others.
You don’t know me or know anything about me, you either misunderstood what I wrote - like you implying I’m telling you to hide your culture when I said nothing of the sort.
Or:
We have a fundamental disconnect that we cannot reconcile - like you implying that strangers and friends are even remotely comparable.
Notice how I never accused you of engaging in bad faith, being a troll or attempted to diagnose you with mental illness.
I don’t make assumptions of bad faith about random internet strangers and I’d appreciate it if you did the same, thanks.

I live in the UK, average temp where I live is 5c, given the windchill and ~80% humidity most days, it’s cold as shit.
I also don’t produce as much BO due to maintaining fairly low primary sex hormone levels intentionally for other reasons.
I wear deodorant every single day, and perfume (lush body spray though, normal perfumes stink).
We are not the same.

Most food is seasoned.
Most food doesn’t stink half as much.
I’m not saying Asian food is bad.
I’m not saying don’t eat it.
What I’m saying is: be mindful of others and don’t impose smells on unsuspecting people who are unfortunate enough to be there.
You wear deodorant, don’t you? Because you don’t want others to know you are sweaty, and you wouldn’t want to smell others’ sweat, would you? So you mask BO with deodorant. Especially if you’re particularly sweaty, such as after work or a workout.
So why not do so for extraordinarily stinky food?

The problem is only when the place is made for one person, e.g. a studio, and there is one official resident, but actually more unofficial residents that are on-paper guests, but de-facto stay there, and as such generate disruptive noise to the neighbours or overload some shared facilities.
The “cousin” example is just hyperbole for emphasis.
