Landing or taking off isn't interrupted with a loading screen in either game. You also have freedom of pointing ship to a direction and go there.

Those two things combine to make you feel like you are moving around the game world as opposed to game world moving around you.

4km any direction if I'm not mistaken. Takes me around 30 minutes to each it.

It's very, very small actually.

I do. It's more secure than any other alternative. Not private, but really, really secure.

Best solution: Stop using Chrome.

It's not the fastest nor the most feature rich anymore, not even the simplest.

I find it naive to think GNOME would suddenly start caring about compatibility as moving to a standard doesn't guarantee such.

Still, the seamlessness should be there, I don't care how they mask it, but it should be there somewhat, again, this is 2023. It doesn't even do simple fade to blacks, but full blown loading screens everywhere.

Also, travelling with the ship mechanic is incredibly, frustratingly cumbersome. For example, let's say you wanted to jump to Sol for the first time, in Starfield, you'd do:

• Select and mark your destination through map screen.
• Somehow exit the map screen (either mash B or hold B and tap B again to exit the menu, cumbersome)
• Highlight your weapons with the D-Pad and mash down button.
• Highlight GRAV and mash the up button.
• Enjoy game stripping controls away from you.
• Go back into map screen to mark surface spot you want to go to.
• Hold X.
• Voilà, you're there, insantly.

Why have an entire space mechanic, if you're just gonna make it frustrating to interact with? Game is okay with teleporting you around at times, but not others as well. It literally disrespects your time, but not in a good way. Speaking of a game that disrespects your time well, it's Elite, which the flow of events would be:

• Open Galaxy Map with Y+Left D-Pad and select a destination.
• Exit with tapping B, once.
• Align your ship with the destination and throttle up.
• Tap Y to initiate jump.
• Enjoy being able to look around or (albeit barely) interact with your screens.
• Open System Map with Y+Right D-Pad and select your destination.
• Align the ship with destination.
• Open Navigation Panel via X+Left D-Pad, select your target and enable Supercruise Assist.
• Enjoy ship taking you there, feel free to interact with panels, photo mode, chat, etc.

Sure, it's a lot more complicated as it is a sim, but see that you don't really do redundant actions and you're in control most of the time. Also, no loading screens as the jumping effect will mask the system change, and the "dropping from Supercruise" screen will mask the second loading screen. Funnily enough, you'll wait more but feel like it took less.

I don't want Starfield to be be Elite or Star Citizen, but it doesn't even have the rudimentary systems in place. For example, I thought you were able to fly anywhere with your ship in the atmosphere and outside it. Just not seamlessly transition between those. That'd be "possible" to have as the game already does this technically. It just isn't there for whatever reason.

Also this basically breaks exploration as the wast majority of travelling you'll do is via the menus and loading screens due to the exact same issues. I remind you this game was marketed as an exploration game with 1000 and whatnot.

This is also the case for game play as well. There are just way too many loading screens. Especially weird when they already have airlocks which would mask vast majority of those perfectly.

Foundation and For All Mankind, absolutely. Also planning on finishing up Star Trek TOS.

This is a reaaaaly specific thing to think about, you okay?

Did they lift the "only curated extensions" bullshit yet? I'm on Kiwi just to be able to run my own (unpacked) extensions that FF doesn't let me do so.

It was really slow before Quantum happened and it's smooth sailing ever since imo.

Funnily enough Chromium actually consumes less RAM and is safer due to better sandboxing.

But neither of these concern the average user. However, the main difference between the browsers user may notice is how pages that are still loading behave. Firefox has the correct behavior. Aka waiting for vast majority of the elements to finish loading versus Chromium just going "if it's rendered it's intractable." This unfortunately means that Firefox feels slower even though it's actually faster.

Also, on behalf of the dark mode enjoyers, flashing white for a moment while launching, loading web pages or updating contents of a webpage is incredibly annoying. None of the Chromium browsers flash white on dark mode.

I have the same stance. Just because I designed a product, I don't get a percentage of each product sold.

Because if we did that for everyone who were responsible for it, it'd skyrocket the said products price.

Yup Play attestation is dead, even the new and shiny "secure" one is bypassed. It's now just a hinderence.

Unfortunately not a feasible solution. If the vast majority of websites support this, any sort of OSS solution is dead to the average user.

Almost as if US fueled it all by breaking the existing government to break down huh

Oh, interesting. Nice to know that, thank you!

No, they haven't. It's the thing with fucking up entire countries; they never really get healed. It's just that less and less people are running away that it's getting more and more stable each year.

Literally the second sentence points out where I saw that. Maybe work on your comprehension skills before calling people names? Have a nice day, give my blessinga to people around you!

Exactly my point lmao.

This conversation is going nowhere. I've told I live next to Syria, not US. You asked what are people laughing at and I delieved. It's not that complicated. I didn't even say anything about what I think of Biden. I just listed things that I saw floating around.
