Glad to see you recognize you were completely wrong and had to shift the conversation to a different topic.

You’re way too rude for somebody this unaware of the topic at hand.

FSR and DLSS are at their core temporal upscalers. They take motion vectors, subpixel samples from jittering objects, and a low resolution scene, and using shaders for FSR or AI models for DLSS, interpolate the existing pixels to fill the entire target resolution. That’s it. This is not frame generation, and they don’t use anything, whatever you meant by that.

You can then, on top of the regular upscaling, enable frame generation to enable an entirely different path that holds frames in the buffer and creates intermediary frames. Those are the fake frames you complained about.

One can use both FSR and DLSS without no frame generation whatsoever, and both were originally created without any type of frame generation to begin with. At the present, Helldivers already uses FSR without frame generation - just for upscaling - but it’s FSR 1.0 (previously called FidelityFX), a matrix based spatial scalar that only looks at one central pixel and tries to apply weights to determine how to fill in the neighbors. This looks horrendous. FSR 2.x and onwards, and DLSS, use the full temporal mechanism I described.

That’s “what the heck” I think DLSS does.

I never said anything about frame generation.

I buy single purpose devices that are fully offline, durable, user serviceable, and useful… and then I go for a long time without buying anything but food. It’s almost like setting a new personal record: how many days in a row I can go without buying a single thing?

Now replace a badly modified version of FSR 1 with support for FSR 3.x, 4.x and DLSS, as we are in 2025 please.

Call me old fashioned, but there are several things I’ll never accept being “smart” and having Wi-Fi, including:

Home appliances, cars, monitors, note taking apparatus, furniture, beverage dispensing mechanisms, cleaning gadgets, pet gadgets, children toys, adult toys, bags, wallets, access keys, plants, birds.

Confiscated for having GrapheneOS? What?

You know, I think there might be stupid questions after all

a justifiable explanation for why the licensing exists in the first place.

“because people doing it wrong would make it look bad” is a terrible reason. I’m fairly certain I can buy an OLED TV and mess with the settings and make the picture look horrendous - time to create a restrictive license on who gets to buy TVs?

Oh cool, I guess they forgot to inform the entire physiology department of the university I got my biology degree in, and the periodics where they publish their research.

Especially because thing you might not think of as protein sources can add the missing other amino acids. Things like wheat, rice, etc. also have protein that can complement others.

So I say “consider how some people actually do have a single source of protein per day, they’re not combining it with other food sources, but they should be aware of this” and your reply is “oh but you see they’re combining it with other food sources so that’s not important” flawless logic.

Especially the false idea that it has to be done at each meal

I never said that. You mentioned it, I said I agreed, and you mentioned it again to reinforce a point I never made. Trying to pad out the comment or something?

Many researchers argue the exact opposite

Sure. And there are several who disagree, or more precisely, might agree that in a vacuum your point stands, but given the atrocious bioavaliability of most plant-based protein, you actually do need to combine protein to effectively fix the issue because your body will absolutely not fully digest the 2g of protein in your 100g plate of white rice.

You don’t need all amino acids on the same meal, that’s true.

If you’re a vegan, managing protein intake is important. Making sure you get complete proteins is overlooked.

Your comment is a dangerous simplification and excludes the fact that indeed many people rely on specific, cheap, vegetable sources of protein as their only protein.

As for rice, while it will indeed complete most bean types, the amount of protein per 100g is very low.

People are joking around, but mixing different beans is important.

Beans are a good source of protein, but they’re incomplete - no single bean will provide all essential amino acids.

So mix them up and you end up with complete protein.

Users paying for the Unlimited or even the lifetime subscriptions, that were sold under the promise of all access to their services, now need an extra subscription to use their new LLM chat box, Lumo. Which is just a very bad wrapper around Mistral, messing up simple tasks like properly rendering Markdown for mathematical formulas.

Linux users, despite being a very important part of their user base, have zero official tools for Proton Drive syncing. No problem, because Proton Drive supports Rclone, right? Well, support was removed for no good reason and with no official explanation, leaving Linux users limited to the very problematic and slow web UI.

Proton Mail users frequently have their accounts locked for no reason whatsoever, other than vague statements about the ToS.

More examples needed?

Fair enough, I can’t prove that it would be different so my argument isn’t a hard argument at all.

But personally, I do strongly suspect Proton’s reaction would be very different, or at least very variable. If you look at their subreddit, half of the time people report they do an amazing job and help them… and half of the time they do incredibly user hostile things. A coin toss, basically.

Everything related to privacy and security requires as a fundamental premise that you select your threat model. Who are you? What data do you want to protect? From whom, and how bad would it be to fail?

Most people skip this step, and then keep acting either surprised or over/under reacting to any given news. There are people out there that can’t use email - regardless of who hosts what. There are people out there that would be fine with Gmail.

They were temporarily suspended, and reinstated after investigation.

Would this sequence of events have happenned if it was an average joe nobody cared about, rather than a public outcry?

There are ways you can both make your emails adhere to certain standards that make them look better and “warm” your account so Gmail and Outlook decide to trust it.

I won’t directly mention how in this thread because SEO agencies LOVE abusing this to self host massive link building spam networks to save a buck on buying Gsuite accounts, but it’s indeed possible.

I was happy with Proton. Until I was not. Tuta might be fine today… what happens in two years?

For email, honestly, it’s a major fucking pain in the ass, but simply buy your own domain and learn how to host it in an agnostic way you can migrate if needed. But just to emphasize: yes, self hosting email sucks tremendously, I know.

Advertising has no place period.

One of the single greatest tragedies of modern life is that we accepted ads invading our personal and public spaces. Going outside for a walk and having to see a large outdoor, literally an advert on the sky, should be a crime against humanity.
