I get cheap hardware. A hardware intensive OS seems stupid to me. I want my computer running the programs that I want, not wasting memory and CPU usage on the OS instead.
Plus I’ve gotten a notification on every laptop I own from Windows telling me to upgrade followed by something saying that they are below specs for the upgrade
I’m sorry that happened. People should be able to have a real discussion about issues without attacking common sense.
So in that case you would be the contrarian that this post is talking about. It’s almost as though critical thinking is good. Reactionaries may be the most vocal and abundant people on some posts, but that doesn’t mean they are right or willing to take a good look and discuss the topic at hand
A lot of niche YouTubers say that they get most of their revenue from patreon and other sites like that so it seems like there’s already existing avenues to post videos and get paid via a different site
Exactly. Those in the highest positions of power should damn well have criticism. The argument otherwise seems to imply that accountability and transparency have no place in American politics
Solo had L3-37 who was presented as being a self made individual literally and she was also humanized with her body and movement being less stuffy and robotic and more human. I remember people complaining she was woke.
Maybe it’s woke to advocate for someone having equal rights or wanting to be viewed equal to people when the story presents her as someone who is self-aware, capable of emotions, and desires freedom. She certainly uses a lot of terms that I guess people who are worried about wokeness might find off-putting.
BUT, here’s the thing most of the time when she says that she wants fair treatment or equal rights it’s presented as a joke. Even her losing her body and the ability to freely move and pursue her own goals is treated as something of a happy ending. Remember the whole movie where she said she wants freedom and autonomy and how she’s a self made droid? Well now she’s shackled inside a computer with no ability to escape, but it’s a happy ending because the audience wasn’t meant to take her seriously.
So in that the context of Solo the people who were complaining about wokeness were missing the forest through the trees, when the only messaging that could really be considered “woke” was something that was treated as a joke in the movie. I wouldn’t be surprised if people complaining about wokeness are just people who are upset if minorities or gay people exist and they use the term to hide behind and avoid outright saying it
(I’m aware that there’s more Star Wars than just Solo, but I haven’t seen all the new stuff and was mostly using it as an example)
Echoing malthusian sentiments of “there’s not enough food for everyone” is not helping anyone.
Pointing out the actual problem which is that big farms that exist right now aren’t there to get food to people they are there to make money and they don’t care if it’s sustainable or if anyone gets to eat, is what I did. You’re the one glossing over that.
I don’t think “Food crops cannot sustain the current human population” is the most accurate. I think adding on an “indefinitely” or something similar would be more accurate. The problem is that there’s plenty more land and resources that could go to crops, but it’s more of a problem of how sustainable it is long term.
Topsoil erosion could outpace soil conservation especially with synthetic fertilizer, but if people aren’t getting food now or in our lifetime then it’s not caused by an inability to grow enough crops. It’s caused by companies being driven by the profit motive. It’s more profitable to let food go to waste than get it to people who can’t afford it.
Currently the technology is there to make more than enough crops for everyone, but how sustainable that is in the long term is not something that has been a priority. If more effort is put into making factory farming actually sustainable, which is the way things are starting to go although pretty gradually, then the only thing stopping people from getting food is the incentive to destroy/ let it rot rather than take any potential loss from not artificially inflating prices
If we’re looking into their heating capacity they should be able to heat approximately 7 and 1/2 gallons of water an hour. A lower end water heater can supply about 85 gallons of water per hour so you’d need about 11 of them to meet a small house capacity.
If we’re looking at their water holding capacity and power consumption. The average house has a 40-60 gallon water heater and a Keurig has a 48oz reservoir. You would need 107 to get to a 40 gallons capacity. When heating they use 1500 watts according to the Internet, so you’d need 160,500 watts (or 1,345.75 amps) of Keurigs to be the equivalent of a low end water heater for a house. The average 40 gallon heater uses between 4500 and 5500 watts.
You don’t need to get insurance just because you have a license. You can have a license and no car.
It could help you as far as some employers will ask if you have one and a few situations like that.
There’s no real downside other than paying for the drivers license test. Even after it expires it’ll still work for an ID.
My coworker’s cousin got a vaccine once and later they dropped their cell phone and cracked the screen. Coincidence, or proof of the evils of vaccination?
Learn to read in context.
The context of your post is that Doom will run on anything, but it won’t run on Steam Deck.
If I take everything you say out of context then well…
Crisis (2007) is famously unoptimized and will indeed run on Steam Deck (on high settings too) if you use a fan made launcher.
So your example of a game that runs on Steam Deck is an unsupported game. That won’t run after a fresh install.
The difference between Crysis and the remaster is that the remaster is actually optimized and you can probably get it running on a lower end PC, while the OG Crysis can run as a slide show on some modern systems because it’s so unoptimized. When people say “But can it run Crysis?” they aren’t talking about the remaster.
The Steam Deck compatibility on store pages is not a comprehensive list of games that will run on Steam Deck and that’s lame, but that’s not what you posted about
Since you can’t figure it out on your own and are demanding to be right (without bing correct)
Your post says it won’t run Doom. It will.
Why have one that doesn’t actually communicate the status of a games playability? Why have a status called “Playable” and not use it to communicate that yes in fact the game can be played on a SteamDeck.
I agree completely and would have if that was what you posted, instead you said
Turns out the Steam deck WILL run Crysis but not Doom
Supported generally means that they put in some kind of effort to make it compatible. It’s up to the developer to update whether or not something gets marked as compatible.
Nothing was done to Doom to make it compatible with steamdeck it just runs fine on it by default
You’re selling Lemmy short. Lemmy’s got beans, AND the 3 days no pooping.
Missed opportunity for joke about eating pussy, although that term is probably what would cause the algorithm to do this to begin with
This is the first I’m hearing that Wolfenstein is not an fps. Why isn’t an fps?
Edit: The 1992 Wolfenstein 3d is definitely a first person shooter. The 1981 Castle Wolfenstein is not made by iD and is not a first person shooter. This article looks almost like it was made by chatgpt or someone putting in very little effort for it to be so off in the first sentence.
Just watch some Civvie 11 videos if you want to hear some history of FPS games and boomer shooters in particular.
Reddit is trying to clean house and go public. They’ve proven they’ll get rid of mods already so it shouldn’t be about mods playing nice to avoid being replaced (there’s a good chance that’s going to start happening regardless sooner or later). I’d say it’s better to get the point across that reddit has a shit policies, a shit CEO, and is removing mods.
I understand that you see it as obey or be removed, but it’s going to another shittier alternative next time if reddit gets it’s way this time.
Reddit is already spinning it as a 6% drop that lasted less than 48 hours. They don’t care what a sub is doing, as long as it’s active it will be helping them in the long run.
I’d love to see a mass migration away from reddit and I think the most disruption possible should be in order. A mass walkout of mods and a some spam would do much greater damage than memes.
That’s a fancy serum made from cow blood
Also this all comes from a submission to an art museum in 2020, it’s not supposed to be an actual product it’s more of a proof of concept type of thing.
