Pretty constantly. I don’t have any examples on hand since I don’t generally waste my time with him, but anti-vax conspiracies were very common to see from him during the pandemic.
Netflix is over engineered to a crazy extent, which makes it an incredibly good user experience. They’re often pointed to as an example of resiliency and reliability in the tech circles I’m in, and it proves very true. There’s almost no cases where I can think of Netflix being down, let alone down because of issues with their own platform.
It brought a lot of good, but it’s destroyed multiple generations ability to concentrate and interact in good faith. I don’t think we’d necessarily be better off without it, but I think the world might be a better place
Because centralization is safe and the majority of users really don’t care about using services owned by major corps.
The fediverse is extremely uninviting if you’re a non-technical user. Not impossible, but it’s not a great experience. Centralized social media removes a lot of choices users need to make, which counterintuitively is what tends to make a better UX for the average user. It comes at the expense of the power user, but the power users aren’t the target audience most of the time.
Stressed means you make more mistakes. Calm and collected, as well as relaxed is the better way to drive. You’re less likely to make mistakes or poor decisions when relaxed.
But only parts of the portrayal. The absolute menacing figure walking through the streets killing at a whim was easily the best representation of prime Vader, but that broke down the longer the episode went.
Add on Electricity, Transcoding, Multiple AZs, Backups, cached content with ISPs and engineer salaries and you’ve got a very expensive system.
That’s not even factoring in payments to creators, which are necessary if you want people to make quality content for the platform.
Your website serves multiple orders of magnitude less traffic than a single YouTube page. Web costs aren’t linear. It’s an S-Curve where it’s incredibly cheap to get started, but gets exponentially more expensive until you’ve reached some level of critical mass where revenue exceeds costs.
Video hosting pre-YouTube was terrible. It barely existed, and it wasn’t accessible. They sure didn’t invent it, but they made it possible for the masses to host video.
No other web content platform has taken off since YouTube. There’s a reason for that, and the majority is cost. To reach a widespread audience you have to invest hundreds of millions into infrastructure. Same reason Twitch still has the critical mass of livestreamers.
Mostly just caffeine, water and extra sleep. I do my best to only drink to a hangover on weekends and since I’m single I don’t really have any responsibilities.
The whales will, and those are the only people that matter to epic and all the game publishers with micro transaction F2P games.
A handful of whales bring in more revenue than thousands of regular players. They’re the ones these games are designed to milk for every cent. The rest of us are just a bonus
Can’t sing along at the top of my lungs though, which is the only place I can because the walls of my apartment are too thin.
Driving to and from places is way more relaxing than being on transit imo. Transit has always been significantly more stressful for me and never lines up with when I need to use it.
Should probably clarify that I meant their home PCs, not work provided ones. Our dev is all done on Mac and then we have remote Linux dev environments for testing if needed.
Windows for development is asinine, can definitely agree there. But for home computing it still isn’t taking over.
Unfortunately wheel support isn’t great. It’s apparently workable, but not well put together, which aptly describes the majority of the rest of the game too.
I was kinda hoping it’d be good, and I might still pick it up for a more casual solo/offline experience, but it still falls short of even something like GT7.
For anyone who wants to get into Simracing, we have a community over at !simracing@lemmy.ml
Also since it’s meta PCVR is a complete second class citizen and won’t work as well due to technical limitations.
I’d still recommend a Reverb G2 to anyone who wants standalone PCVR with minimal setup needed. It’s far from perfect and the tracking is worse than the quest (tried both side by side), but it’s a great headset.
Yes, and I still believe that if something is dense enough to be considered residential (be it suburbs or not) shouldn’t have wind turbines.
Truly rural areas are different and should be treated differently. But when referencing “residential” the default is still somewhat densely packed, even if it’s not fully urban.
Those sound like legitimate complaints. I’d be pissed if the house that I bought ended up a much, much less pleasant place to live because of a 3rd party.
Windmills don’t belong in residential areas, just as coal power plants don’t, and solar farms in residential areas just seems like a waste of space.
