NOT EVEN HALF?? That’s your bar??? Imagine a single other industry that’s that monopolized Jesus, even internet companies have like 3 options and are each horrendous with their 33%
I just got up from conversation with a couple of older black men, that I said “well I got to go back to work and start cracking the whip.” And it occurred to me then that it was probably a really insensitive stupid thing to say....
Kinda broad statement considering some do but some are offended by it.
Of course its entirely incorrect given they aren’t in India, so it seems obvious not to call them indian (shit even some actual east Indians are offended by it, especially cause now they need to be called east indians)
and more anecdotally all indigenous people I’ve met couldn’t careless what theyre called down to calling themselves ‘indjiuns’
This is halarious, youre definitely american aren’t you?
Canadians aren’t in america eh? Absolutely no classification we can think of, perhaps a continent or 2 that could describe let’s say a north and south “america” of some sort?
Id encourage you to try and find another true analogy though, and you’ll see it doesnt exist - cause everywhere else’s name is based on where it is
also I gotta edit to add this, I’d love to see where you perceive racism in my comment, just as a readers exercise
This has gotta be intentional stupidity at this point right?
You understand things in time happen in a linearr order right? Ie if someone hurt me then I hurt them, they’re the bad guy. I hurt someone and they hurt me 🫢 an entirely different scenario
The title says it all, looking for.idea son what could i run minecraft server for me, gf and kid to log into from time to time to play. For now i host on my laptop and then play from the same machine but was thinking about having that separate.
Ngl if youre not used to linux I don’t reccomend this, it can get a lot more annoying that its worth having to learn 2 things at once (but it will be more efficient)
like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.
At this point thought can we really victim blame? Like were all just advanced moneys and it turns out almost every monkey in this environment will get addicted and capitilists are happy to use that maliciously.
It issue is systematic at the least, and I can almost gaurentee won’t be solved in the next century by a couple people voting with just their wallets
ngl I’ve been looking into this recently and its actually kinda the opposite in most countries - considering usual misogynistic societies a women would be ‘improved’ as a man and the opposite vise versa.
Hence why we have like Pocahontas a while back but not really mtf equivalents (at least that I can think of, and aren’t just the butt end of a joke).
But nowadays the mtf’s are finally able to be themselves so I feel like were seeing a wave of relief in the community that’s always been there (just repressed af)

Way too dependent on the setup, a container with absolutely no outside access theoretically just has the kernel, but usually we want to communicate with our docker images not just run them

This is interesting cause I wonder if relatively it’d be like shifting every element in the periodic table one to the left, cause who’s to say neutral isn’t our current measurement -1, but the orbitals will remain the same hence the shift
For sure but we have no absolute charge measurements, really for all we know were super positively charged, but so are all our voltometers so everything balances out
To highlight this we gotta disect your answer a little.
Why does your hair stand up when charged? Because the relationship between each other is similarly charged, and the air less similarly - so its going to have the force of gravity, and those 2 charges affecting it.
If you increase both charges from our ‘neutral’ by one yes your hair repels itself greater, but so does the air around it.
Similarly if you were on a super charged planet/atmosphere, your hair wouldn’t stand up at all cause the atmosphere is charged and you are grounded to it - but the second you change your relative environment to earth you’d probably pass out from the discharge

A sustained frequency can do it, but I’m not sure if a gunshot could be harmonic or if they just have 1 main pressure wave (and mostly just noise elsewhere)
Unless you had a muzzle that specifically created resonanting waves at the glasses harmonic frequency, and a bunch of glass with the same resonance would all shatter even with a sound wave as small as a voice (much less a gunshot)
I’ve been re-watching star trek voyager recently, and I’ve heard when filming, they didn’t clear the wide angle of filming equipment, so it’s not as simple as just going back to the original film.

A similar thought I’ve had is AI removal of laugh tracks (maybe introduce background based on non-laugh track scenes)
This would make old Scooby doos actually watchable for me, so I can judge modifying the original a little if it’d what someone prefers - you can always just not watch it
Thinking about it a bit more I 100% would be the type to use a 16:9 ratio, just cause I hate black bars
And an important note about imaginary numbers is there more of a band aid solution because we chose to lose information when doing positive exponentials, when in reality both positive and negative answers are equally valid mathematically (though sometimes not physically).
So math doesn’t care about our conventions and sometimes we need that information back, hence complex numbers.
Multiplying anything times 0 = 0 though doesn’t just have 2 possible outcomes, it has infinite for the variable multiplied. With such aggressive information loss its usually hard to retain any realistic information, though it is possible with proper limits

Every PC I’ve ever used automatically detects and adjusts resolution to the display you connect to it. Even Nintendo Switch will detect when it’s docked and automatically adjust the display resolution. But on Steam Deck you literally have to adjust the display resolution for every game, every time you switch displays....
And then again you’d know better than anyone that hardware has its limitations for a reason, so maintaining ANOTHER database like proton just for lightweight games that can run 4k sounds pretty excessive when they’re mostly focused on common issues like booting games. Can’t solve all github issues no matter how hard one wants to try, things take time
For sure but even windows has the registry and macos its terminal, its not uncommon for non-common usage cases to not have a nice pretty setting on the home screen.
I’d say it’d make a lot more people hate the deck if every time they tried to use it on a tv it lagged to ass cause it defaults to the 4k of the television when it struggles at 720 normally.
100% support where steams efforts are going, and I don’t think it should be on menial issues like this

Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?
