  • If you were to give an estimate: How many of the people fundamentally disagreeing with you online are rational and honest people, and how many are US federal agents or in their employ? Percentage-wise.

  • Skyrim is ported to RealityV3. It is still buggy. Hackers have successfully run Doom on a hydrogen atom. Gamers are shitting and yelling that someone put a Martian as a playable character in Red Dead Redemption MCMVII.

  • They can contain binary data, but less of it. Not sure of the details, but you get 3k bytes if binary data or 4.2k alphanumeric letters. So no big difference all in all, which is a bit silly.

    Also, many QR scanners can't handle binary data and freak out on null values or newlines.

    We must consider the practical side of installing Windows 11 from a semitrailer load of cardboard.

  • Using 1,454,942 maximum size and minimum error correction QR codes in alphanumeric mode (byte mode is a lie) to store Base64-encoded binary data, you get roughly 4,687,823,124 bytes. 4.6 GB. If the cards are two-sided we get 9.2 GB.

    Minimum size of Windows 11 installer image seems to be 8 GB, so it checks out!

  • While tools exist, like people already commented, remember that the result may not be what you expect.

    A recreation whether by AI or a skilled voice actor will have slightly different intonations, emphasis, tempo variations, pauses and lack of pauses that are not your granfather's. It is very likely to feel flat and wrong in an unpleasant way.

  • It's a shit voting system. But the election is happening. How to effect a mass general strike large enough to change the voting system and introduce a new candidate with a chance of winning within two months?

    Because that is needed in order to safely tell people not to vote.

  • That is a valid question in isolation, but bringing it up in discussions on where to vote is not leading to discussions or actionable improvements. It only functions to push voter disenfrachisement.

    Not saying it's your intention, but it is your effect.

    Voting least bad is important. Don't discourage it.

    Working for better voting options is also important. Do push for that too, but find a constructive setting for it.

  • The laws of captialism entropy:

    Any organization that sees success will attract profit-driven leadership, and will become such over time. The soul from the original founders will be watered down, dampened, or ejected.

    A profit-driven organization will over time become more and more profit-seeking, never less. Once this reaches a certain threshold, we start to use phrases like "enshittification". Valve hasn't gone shit yet imho, but their soul and passion doesn't seem to lie in games anymore.

    The next excellent product comes from new, growing organizations or small teams that may grow into such.

    It is best to just treat it as any other law of nature and so we move on from Blizzard, Google, EA, Valve, Epic Games, Unity, etc and go swim in the wonderful vibrant indie scene.

  • It's playable and you can enjoy the game, but 30FPS is embarrassing. It makes me feel like I'm a kid playing on a PC assembled out of old leftover components. Which was tolerable when I was a cashless kid playing pirated games on inherited frankenPCs, but it feels so wrong when playing a bought game on its intended spec hardware.

  • Been playing it a few hours. So far the tactical part feels very similar to Fights in Tight Spaces but more forgiving. Puzzly, lots of interactions with environment.

    The writing is really well done and the humor and tone are wonderful in the way only brits can do it.

    There is something about an out-of-work elite strike team having to rely on public transport and using the lead wizard's mom's apartment for HQ while they are still taking everything seriously.
