- Comment on Xbox ditching hardware and exclusive games "makes sense," former Microsoft exec and Blizzard boss says, as "only a moron would continue" making consoles as games go third party 4 hours ago:
Honestly I’m surprised they’re still thinking about that. The last major release they had was RDR2 in 2018. That was 7 years ago now. In that time not only have handhelds and more PC devices exploded but also PCs as a whole thanks to COVID. It’s just more popular than it ever was. If they go forward with console only they better have a massive kickback from Sony now that Xbox isn’t playing as much, otherwise they’re missing out on tons of sales.

They said they were open to it but they had zero priority of doing it themselves, and essentially “submit a PR if you want it”. A shame really, their interface is great, and such an easy setup. If they implemented either xmpp or matrix I would switch immediately. All of my friends want a discord clone that “just” works, but no one wants to go to this server for this group and then login to that server for that group. They want a single-pane interface like what discord offers.
Shortsighted to not implement that IMO.

Problem isn’t that, since the handheld is just running windows it can only run games with a PC release. If the game was never ported to PC they currently have no way to play it. They really thought through the whole release real well.

You sure? You wrote a novel based on a couple of sentences my dude.

Algorithm is not a dirty word. Any sorting or filtering is an algorithm. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean we need to kill it off, just don’t use them.

This is from the film After Sex (2007). The whole film is a collection of both hetero and homosexual stories. I highly recommend watching the Director’s Cut of their scenes, which is available here.

- Comment on Internet upload speeds on self-hosted Jellyfin/Plex Servers? 1 week ago:
You can get away with a pretty low bitrate for most. As others have said, set the egress upload limit in the app to whatever you prefer, and just be ready to transcode.
Never charge for access to your server in any way. That is officially 100% illegal. If you can’t do it without charging, you can’t do it
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 1 week ago:
You keep making assumptions about people, none of what you have said is based in anything. You assume urban people don’t have access to “real” food, when I have farmers markets weekly where independent farmers come into the city and sell their crops. We also have organic co-ops near us, and we have the ability to choose where we shop when we do from several different stores, choosing where to choose our produce. On top of that I do have spac to have a tiny garden where I live, so you can just stop assuming things about us City folk. You really think we must eat Soylent green or something?
When I lived in rural America there was a single grocery store, there was no competition. I would argue I have more choice to eat what I prefer in the city vs in th country. So what you said could only be true only if you never go to a grocery store and you only grow everything yourself.
And even then, remember I grew up in the Midwest. Where did you get your seeds?. More than likely you are growing genetically altered crops at home, and they come from some some large corporation. You want to judge us? You don’t even know what it’s like to live in a city.
- Comment on Truenas Scale replication of docker apps 1 week ago:
Replicating images isn’t really best practice. Images are meant to be ephemeral on the server. Dockers pattern is to repull the images if they are needed, and that only takes a few seconds. Saving the images IMO would just be a waste of space.
If you are afraid the images will be gone someday, the proper way to handle this is to use a docker registry as a proxy. So you make your own docker registry, like
your.tld/registryand then set it in proxy mode. Then when you pull your images you set docker to pull from your registry. If it’s found it will use your local data otherwise it will pull through from the parent registry, and serve the docker image to your client. For backup then you backup the registry’s volume.That fits within the pattern of docker. Your clients come up, query the local registry, and it will serve your containers. Your server remains ephemeral.

So unbelievably wrong. And don’t get me wrong I fully admire real rural farmers, the ones who make our food.
Fake rural/suburbanites though are horrible for our planet and ecosystem. I’m from the Midwest where we have perfect soil for growing. What do they do? Pave over it, create stripmalls, big box stores, single family homes, every step of the way ruining the soil and area so we can’t farm there again for hundreds of years. Meanwhile runoff from pavement and parking lots pollutes that soil, they plant non-natural lawns that take more water and ruin biodiversity. None of that adds to our food or biodiversity, it may make them feel like they are, but it is quite literally doing the opposite.
You want to be mad at city people? The people who are happy to have apartments who build up rather than our, trying to use as little space as possible? We use less electricity because we have less space. We require less heating. Less driving and polluting because we’re closer together.
It may look worse, but my current city has the same population as the entire state where I grew up in, except people don’t selfishly each need an acre of perfectly farmable land to themselves. What we do in our footprint of a city “rural” people sprawl out for hundreds of square miles. No, I say fake rural people are much, much worse for the environment.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Do you mean docker volumes? If so it’s very easy, just tar where the volumes and and move them over, untar them and map the containers to wherever they should go. Don’t overthink it.
If you mean docker images I’d ask why, can you just repull them?

It’s why Indie games are doing so well, people are obviously tired of bland corporate slop over and over again.

I’ll agree RDR1 didn’t do much (except the Mexico plight). RDR2 was much better. I can honestly say that I’ve never felt as much joy than punching klansman and just absolutely destroying racists

- Comment on Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year 1 week ago:
I assume the idea came from Red Dead Redemption, where it does done very well. Of course, you have to have the courage to make a game like that, and I doubt Ubisoft/new ownership will ever be on board with anything that takes courage. Better to make another bland boring empty world.
- Comment on The Shady Acquisition of EA Games 1 week ago:
The investors are betting that AI-based cost cuts will significantly boost EA’s profits in the coming years, people involved in the transition told the Financial Times
As an engineer who uses AI regularly, have built models, and knows the subject deeply - LOL. This is huge Bro energy with little understanding of AI and they are fully on the hype train.
I did a long comment on my experience working for private equity, and just love how it’s going to destroy EA: poptalk.scrubbles.tech/comment/5086464
- Comment on China Is Beating the US in the Battle for Energy Export Dominance | China’s exports of clean energy technology hit a record in August, with $20 billion shipped globally. 2 weeks ago:
Conservatives told us these things were impossible while we desperately tried to make them a reality in the US. Meanwhile once again we are left in the dust.
Remember when we felt challenged in our history when we stepped up and decided to take on the challenge, even if it cost us money or was going to be hard? The space race anyone?
Now here we are. Energy. High Speed Rail. Many more items that others have just completed passed us by.

No no no you don’t understand. Somehow gamers should not only pay subscriptions, but also pay for the games. That’s real capitalism.

I read the source code, the proxy essentially just hands all the responsibility down to pict-rs. Then pictrs has that environment variable where you can set how long-loved you want the thumbnail to be.

Even though I personally never used it I was astonished at how quickly so many people blindly trusted it. What I’m more astonished with is how quickly Microsoft has managed to destroy that brand trust.
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 2 weeks ago:
It’s something we don’t take lightly, and we’re listening to the feedback of players and the community to try to provide them with more of what they’re asking for.
God they will never understand that we see right through their bullshit corpo-speak answers will they. Everything they just said is nothing. They don’t take it lightly. They are listening. They will try. There is nothing concrete in that wet paper towel of an answer.
