I often daydream about how society would be if we were not forced by society to pigeon hole ourselves into a specialized career for maximizing the profits of capitalists, and sell most of our time for it....
Yeah I’ve been wanting those so badly. If they open sourced red alert 2 I would be in heaven. I’d immediately start work on decoupling game speed from frame rate.
I wish I could get the generals source code so I could fix the path finding, but until I’m rich enough to retire and remake the engine, or unless they open source it, I can’t do it :/
I’ve thought about it but their vision is pretty different from what I want to do. I want to keep red alert 2 fully original but decouple frame rate and game speed, and decouple resolution from zoom level.
I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you...
They’re probably imagining me as that Prius or something slowing them down in traffic. My neighborhood is basically one lane when people are parked, and there are a lot of kids, so if they drove the road they’d understand.
I’m kind of tired of Google sending me to the same 3 sites whenever I search for something. If not the same 3 sites it’s 7 others that are so generic and boring I just feel they’re useless. It’s always makeuseof, androidauthority, or whatever other sites that have useful information but I rarely feel like they are saying...
Bars are notable for staying open late, but I’m not really familiar with alternatives that might operate similarly. I think many cafés (at least around my area) tend to close a few hours earlier by comparison, which would be my go-to for an alternative otherwise, so what other options are there?
My 13 hour flight just got delayed 7 hours, I’m stuck at my second airport, and I dont think I’m gonna make it. I have some movies and audio books on my phone, but really only anticipated having to burn the flight time via napping and some media, not 7 hours leading up to it, and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna mentally burn...
I agree. Like most science channels, they’re really good when they stick to pure science.
The issues usually occur when they decide to weigh in on a social or policy issue that they’re not qualified to talk about. Kurtzgesagt’s blunders all seem to be related to climate policy videos and their wishful thinking regarding Hail Mary technologies saving us.
For other readers, my bias is generally pro kurtzgesagt, I have several of their posters on my wall. Their social policy videos have just been really rubbing me the wrong way.
Sabine has been posting a lot of cringe lately. Such a bummer when a physicist decides to go down the 2009 history channel swerving out of their lane career path.
Johnny Harris. I really hate the delivery style that he kept from vox. The “guys this is super bad and I’m really concerned but in a like cool and detached way.” His delivery just reminds me of every dude I’ve ever talked to at an indie coffee shop.
His content may or may not be good, but I can’t get passed his smarmy delivery to find out.
Hopefully this kind of content is ok here. Up until recently, when I would be searching for some kind of technical info, the top (and best) results would usually all be Reddit posts. I was very pleasantly surprised to do that this time and find a Lemmy post instead!...
