The real hit is free mobile games. Paying per install can be crippling when you naturally have low retention rates.
You can accidentally success yourself into debt if you don’t have preditary monetization.
I’m building a game ATM that’s meant to be fun and fair, monetization is really low. If it shot up as a front page item for some reason that now went from a huge success to a massive stress point as the number of installs would easily put me into hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt to unity overnight.
Who TF wants to take on that kind of risk? Does this not push mobile games into being even MORE preditary?? Since it’s now impossible to build a mobile game with Unity, and just release it as something free.
According to Hans-Kristian Arntzen, a prominent open-source developer working on Vkd3d, a DirectX 12 to Vulkan translation layer, Starfield is not interacting properly with graphics card drivers.
Mine updated recently (Vizio) and now ALWAYS chooses “smart cast” upon reboot. And I have to wait for it to complete, painfully, slowly, load so I can switch to HDMI.
If the HDMI channel doesn’t have anything it gives me 5 seconds before it switches to smart cast as well. Which is a huge pita
That non-trivial software development is really freaking hard, and incredibly expensive . And the majority of developers barely have any idea what they’re actually doing.
I am using my laptop to take notes in class and would like to use my android based e-ink tablet for quick handwriting and diagrams. What is a good way to get the content from the tablet to my vault as quickly and smoothly as possible? First-party sync? Note files pushed through Syncthing?

It works beautifully. Realtime sync and conflict resolution between all the devices it’s on (My phone, laptop, and desktop).
I only have mine setup to work on the same network, but you could get it to work over the internet, but that’s much more security & proxy work.
If you wanted to do it all in the cloud. An (over provisioned) VPS, domain, and other configuration would still cost you less than what Obsidian wants for their live sync.

Yes! It’s a hobby that can go as deep as you want it to.
Though it doesn’t produce physical outputs like many others :/
Once you start getting deeper into computational and stored requirements the costs really start to shoot up. Networking, device management, storage management, power usage, heat & noise, orchestration…etc
Your take on urban density is wayyyyy off base and wrong.
The deforestation being a result of agricultural expansion to support a growing population is spot on.
Urban density increases the efficiency of logistics, you state it makes it worse. The cost-per-unit goes down as density goes up. Economies of scale apply here, logistics almost always becomes cheaper per unit the more of it you do. This applies to farming, transportation, processing, packaging…etc
How to say you know nothing about game development without saying you know nothing about game (software) development. But want to assert your opinion on it regardless.
It’s corporate profiteering not lazy devs. The devs work their asses off, these aren’t their decisions to make.
It’s like blaming the guy finishing the drywall for design problems with the building. Lazy drywallers, ruining a good office tower, it wouldn’t be leaning if they weren’t so lazy.
To be fair, the content quality on Lemmy has been about the same from what I’ve seen.
Bots all over the place, low-effort quips instead of discussions bubbling up, lots and LOTS of low-quality armchairing, personal attacks and flaming instead of actual discussion…etc
It was good for a month or so during the reddit 3rd party app purge, but quickly went downhill.

As we walked through the dimly lit streets of Manchester, my heart raced with unease. My boyfriend, Roy Schestowitz, had always been passionate about Free Software and Linux, but I had no idea he was involved in something so sinister.
testified in court that the teen was a product of “affluenza” and was unable to link his actions with consequences because of his parents teaching him that wealth buys privilege

Sure, and then they either disappear you, or you have an “accident”. Or you just so happened to get beaten half to death in the restroom by a “random” act of violence.
Or anything equally as sinister, but to your finances, possessions, loved ones, or life.

It’s actually quite important. Your sex are what your chromosomes are, your gender is what you identify as.
Your sex doesn’t change, your gender does.
That’s literally the definition of it.
This is important especially for medical purposes, medication, surgery, emergency care…etc all has variations based on your sex, because different sexes are predisposed to different classes of problems and interactions. This also applies to REPORTING, reporting that a medication affects someone born female different than someone born male is an extremely important distinction.
Incorrect reporting literally costs lives.
It should to be standardized, just like everything else that has significant consequences on well being.
Politics are ruining what should be completed apolitical.

And it looks like lemmy is just Reddit again, except at least on Reddit you can find an informed opinion before the bottom of the thread. This thread is completely devoid of critical thinking…
Not having rebar means it’s going to be significantly more stable over time since you no longer have to worry about de-alkelineization (spelling is hard), and rust causing expansive forces inside the concrete and cracking it.
The chemical composition of the concrete will probably be improved over time as budget allows, increasing its longevity quite significantly.
Since the voltage is half and the amperage is the same half the wattage is supplied to heat water. This means it takes longer not that it doesn’t work.
OP also said they received hot water in a kettle not that they received an electric kettle in which to heat it in.
This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won’t tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole...
And here I am running NFS as the backing storage on an R720xd for 4 other M630 VM hosts.
Connected via SFP+ DAC. I get max bandwidth saturation, and ~65k IOPS!! NFS is great 😅
You could use things like AWS S3 or similar offerings from other providers like digitalocean. They have plenty of documentation that guide you through how they work.
If you’re arguing that the underlying behavior and existence of matter isn’t understood, and by extension lift isn’t, then that applies to anything and everything.
So, essentially, really poorly written malware? Given the number of assumptions it makes without any sort of robustness around system configuration it’s about as good as any first-pass bash script.
It’d be a stretch to call it malware, it’s probably an outright fabrication to call it a virus.
