sosodev,

All humans? No. There are plenty of people who couldn’t care less what you want to know.

sosodev,

Does it? I love answering questions and I answered yours

sosodev,

I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. It seems like what you’re saying doesn’t follow the conversation logically. I think that’s why the other commenter asked if you’re ok.

sosodev,

I knew a goth girl in high school who was into blood play. She wanted to be cut during sex. I don’t think she was otherwise into self-harm which is interesting.

People forget that life on earth has been around for an extremely long time. We believe that single cellular life first appeared around 3.5 billion years ago. We also believe that the universe is around 13.8 billion years old. That means life has been around and evolving for around 25% of the time the universe has existed. Life operates on a scale far beyond our comprehension.

Another fun fact about life. We think that multicellular life only appeared around 600 million to 1.2 billion years ago. So life was probably single cellular for billions of years. The complexity of life has rapidly increased since then and will continue to do so.

Edit: new research suggests that complex multicellular life may have appeared around 2.4 billion years ago.

sosodev,

Interestingly, Sharks became a thing around the same time that massive fungi structures that looked like trees existed.

sosodev,

Even if humans manage to kill off most life on Earth it will continue to exist, propagate, and become more complex. Again we’re talking about billions of years. There have been huge shifts in climate and mass extinctions many times before and yet here we are.

sosodev,

I don’t know but I can tell you something about fish that’s pretty interesting. In northern parts of the world like Scandinavia there’s not much UV radiation during winter months. Our bodies need UV to produce vitamin D and we can have serious health defects (like rickets) without it.

At some point it was recognized that eating fish, particularly those rich in Vitamin D, made people much healthier. So it was codified into their culture and traditions to eat these healthy fish. Often with preparations that would preserve the fish and its vitamin D content throughout the winter.

sosodev,

The difference is that Steam sells a ton of copies every single day. The vast majority of Valve’s fortune has come from that fee. People jump to defend Steam but it’s already been established by lawsuits against other major corporations that a 30% cut is mostly driven by greed.

sosodev,

It’s confusing to you that manufacturing, shipping, and selling physical copies of a game was more expensive than digital distribution? The world is very different today. Digital distribution is the norm and everybody knows you don’t need 30% to make it sustainable.

sosodev,

Epic’s 12% doesn’t do much because they’re constantly burning money trying to find more revenue. It’s obvious they’re not doing anything efficiently. They also have far fewer sales than Steam which further hurts their bottom line.

The standard internet payment processors take 3% as their cut.

With modern cloud systems we can quickly distribute files globally for tiny amounts of money.

The truth is that Valve makes a ton of money off of this fee. It’s great that they contribute to open source projects but plenty of companies make similar contributions with a fraction of the resources.

sosodev,

Industry standard by massive corporations synonymous with corporate greed. Boy am I glad the fee decreases after $10m in sales. That will go a long way with helping out indie devs.

It’s okay to like Steam because they’ve provided us with a good way of purchasing and playing games. I like Steam but we don’t have defend things that are obviously greedy.

sosodev,

Lemmy is not at all an accurate reflection of reality. Nobody in my day to day life is going to argue that communism is far superior to capitalism. That’s part of the problem. Us internet dwellers think this is what real people are like but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

sosodev,

You’ve definitely given us enough information to make a decision. This is actually an alien probe.

sosodev,

In iOS 17.1 videos playing in Safari no longer prevent the screen from locking if they aren’t full screen. Maybe that’s intentional but it certainly seems like a bug. I find it very annoying.

Another Safari regression is the inability to scroll over video elements. Which really breaks the Voyager experience :(

Also, WatchOS 10.1 broke a bunch of complications for watch faces. They usually just fail to render. Which is also very annoying.

WatchOS 10 did fix a bug that was around for a long time. My watch used to fail to measure elevation gain while hiking but it works now. So that’s cool.

sosodev,

Nope, it’s a WebKit/Safari bug. A fix was merged at the end of September but it hasn’t been released because Apple has the world’s slowest release process for system apps. It sucks that they won’t ship minor patches like that if it isn’t a security vulnerability.

What did you think of Sea of Stars?

I thought that it was overall good fun. The battle system is excellent and the music is great. The characters are cool and generally quite enjoyable. However, the standard ending of the game really annoyed me. It’s totally anti-climactic. I really don’t want to go back and do a bunch of side quests (collectathon in...

sosodev,

The writing definitely feels very amateurish. Which I agree is a mismatch with the otherwise high quality nature of the game.

I like the overall themes though. It was serviceable enough for me.

sosodev,

Yeah… I’ll probably end up doing it eventually. It’s just really lame to get hyped for the final fight and be told “go do side quests for a few more hours and then come back.”

sosodev,

Oh no, that sucks. If you generally like turn based combat I would give it another go. The first few hours are fairly boring but there are some very cool battles later in the game.

sosodev,

That’s a good point about Resh’an. I kept expecting him to come back and be like “Sorry I left. This is still our best hope.”

Why do you say the true ending is a slap in the face?

sosodev,

Wait… there’s an extremely true ending?

sosodev,

Wow good eye. That’s totally it. :)

sosodev,

“apple highlights gaming performance” and “a minimum of 5 graphs are presented” seem guaranteed to me. That’s the standard when they have a chip update to present lol.

sosodev,

That was a cool intro

sosodev,

Lemmy needs a live thread option

sosodev,

I think that counts as “reference to Apple having the best notebooks”, right?

Also, “chip lab visit” of course.

sosodev,

They said 3nm, right?

sosodev,

Making some bold GPU claims. Supposedly it’s 2x perf over the m2 line.

sosodev,

Oh yeah, now we’re getting plenty of graphs and efficiency claims lol

sosodev,

Up to 128GB of unified memory for M3 max confirmed. That is seriously beefy.

sosodev,

Space Gray (Black) is so pro lmao

sosodev,

I really was hoping they would have picked a bold color.

sosodev,

A MBP with 128GB of unified memory really outclasses most personal computers. They’re not wrong about that.

sosodev,

It’s interesting that they keep harping on “when upgrading from an Intel-based Mac”. I guess their data shows that a lot of users are still on Intel chips. Or maybe it just makes a better comparison?

sosodev,

Why are they talking about iMessage on Mac like it’s a new feature? I guess people outside of the Mac ecosystem might not know.

sosodev,

I wish they would have given some details behind how dynamic caching works. Without any context it kinda sounds like nonsense to me.

sosodev,

Yeah, I actually liked that they kept this fairly brief. The “shot on iPhone” reveal was cute.

sosodev,

Offering a pro model with 8GB of RAM is pretty silly. Anybody who buys that is not getting the proper experience.

sosodev,

Does the iMac really need an updated screen? Genuine question because I don’t know what it’s capable of at the moment.

sosodev,

Their repairability does suck but they can still be repaired. It’s definitely not a trash it as soon as something fails situation.

sosodev,

These modifications are possible because the game has been decompiled back to modifiable source code. At this point they can add anything to the game with enough dedication.

sosodev,

They need the rom to dump the assets. They can’t legally redistribute those.

sosodev,

I’ve been to several and they tend to be decent low-income housing. Quality can vary a lot but I don’t think we should be for cheaper housing and against options that provide it.

sosodev,

There’s a lot of negativity in this thread. I think people often forget that perfect is the enemy of good. Cheap housing is objectively a good thing.

sosodev,

Right? MacRumors is pretty trashy in the sense that they keep repeating this clickbait shit.

What is your opinion about this computer? MINIS FORUM UM480 XT Mini PC AMD Ryzen 7 4800H 8 C/16 T, 16 GB RAM 512 GB SSD PCIe, 2.5 SATA, 2X HDMI e USB C, 2.5 G RJ45 LAN, 6X USB Ports (www.amazon.es)

I think if it breaks I’m not going to be able to have it fixed because of lack of technical service. But if it doesn’t break its great value.

sosodev,

As others have said if you’re buying a cheap, generic PC you should probably buy it from a recognizable brand or retailer. It’ll be less likely to break and more likely to be covered/fixable.
