- Comment on Dark mode’s bright future: How dark mode will transform Wikipedia’s accessibility 3 months ago:
I don’t mind the pop up as much as I mind it being a pop up that tells you to go to another menu to change the setting. Why not just put the setting in the pop up?
- Comment on Is my girlfriend gaslighting me? 4 months ago:
You might want to X-post to c/relationshipadvice as well. That being said, the only one responsible for kidnapping anyone is the kidnappers. And no one should expect their friends or lover to kill their kidnappers. It would likely get you killed in the attempt. On top of this, these are all hypotheticals.
Someone who is using hypotheticals that they made up in their head against you is more worried about themselves than you.
It is not my place, but this person sounds like someone I wouldn’t even want to be friends with, let alone date. Friends are there to build each other up, not tear them down and add anxiety.
- Comment on How are engine sounds in racing games played ? 4 months ago:
Most older games will have 2-3 engine loops that they will blend between and pitch accordingly, however Forza 5 specifically was the first in the series to use granular synthesis which is a much more modern approach.
These will have a series of sound files including all the different parts of the engine, exhaust, turbo, etc. Then the software slices these files into tons of pieces in real-time and plays the slices based on the players inputs.
It’s tricky to explain without examples, so here’s a video that does a decent job of explaining how it works in music: youtu.be/ftDLRYnRYZQ?si=SEHOl55K7rimi4Eu
- Comment on [QUESTION] What is the most realistic game that also can run on Linux distros? 5 months ago:
I second Horizon. There are moments where I’m convinced the graphics are pre-rendered when cranked to the max.
- Comment on ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services 6 months ago:
I went the route of a physical collection, but man do they make it difficult unless you get a commercial player that is likely to have ads and doesn’t integrate well into a home theater setup.
I’ve taken to doing everything I can to play things through my computer, but they do everything in their power to make them unplayable. This includes things like adding hundreds of bogus playlists so you don’t know which one to play, adding extra layers of encryption that cause image corruption a few chapters into the movies, and more.
If they just allowed you to easily watch and rip the movies that I pay actual money for, I think a lot more people would be open to a physical collections of their favorites. As it stands, I can’t really recommend it.
- Comment on I’m fascinated by this open-world delivery game that sounds like Death Stranding on a horse in 13th-century Mongolia, with “unparalleled equine realism” 6 months ago:
I had the same house all the way from the opening mission to 40 hours in. She was killed by an ambush in the woods and I couldn’t pick the game back up for a week.
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 months ago:
To add to this, the opposite of love is not hate, but ignore.
Giving your energy and attention to hating something typically means that they occupy enough mental real estate in your day to day life that you feel the need to broadcast it on a regular basis.
The liberals I know tend to spend the majority of their free time focusing on improving themselves and the world around them rather than simply target blame somewhere else.

Nah. Sun just acts as the Queen Atom. Without it, you’d end up with a Helvetica Scenario. This is basic science.

The thing that always gets me about these theories:
Okay, it’s revealed the Earth is flat and all of our modern science is a coverup. How does this affect me in my day to day life? I still have to go to work tomorrow.
- Comment on DJI might get banned next in the US 6 months ago:
Would this disable/prevent use of already purchased drones as well? I’ve considered picking one of these up for the longest time, but now with this potential ban, I’d really want to pick one up, but not if they would be unusable if this passes.

- Comment on Why is Windows 11 so annoying? 6 months ago:
You also generally do not have to download a bunch of drivers or spend six hours in the command line hand-assembling the goddamn operating system.
It’s sad that this is still the perspective people have on Linux in a lot of places. This describes a small handful of distros that are often the choice for those that know what they’re getting into.

- Comment on I wonder if an argument from the elite against gender fluidity is that the future AI models to track us all via camera will find it harder to assign gender. 7 months ago:
It’s ultimately control. If you have a choice you want to make and someone can put into law that you’re not allowed to make that choice, that puts them in a position of power. It makes you feel powerless, stressed, and small. People are less likely to fight if they feel this way.

Thank you so much! It’s been a heck of a journey. I’ve learned a ton and honestly never thought I’d get to this point. I’ll try to remember to come back and let you know when the album drops.

San Francisco Rush 2049 for me. Looked so much better than on the other consoles, too.

As a 31-year-old, I thankfully missed the window and have had it super easy this whole time.
- Comment on Love to do this 8 months ago:
If you drive manual, the pro move is to engine brake all the way down. If the light turns green, you’re always in gear and possibly even higher up in revs meaning you can quickly swap right back to the gas pedal. Feels cool every time it happens.
- Comment on Everyone agrees 8 months ago:
The problem is that these are incredibly unsafe. You’re putting about 5% of the part of the tire meant to keep the car in control on the pavement. I don’t want to be on the road with these morons because if they hit a pothole, who knows what direction they’re going to ping off.
As far as style, I’m with you, but these are massive safety compromises.

This was recently updated for paid users. You can now browse the internet, upload files and images, and they’ve also unlocked APIs by giving it tokens. It’s getting closer to being fully multi-modal quite quickly.
