Late response but now that I think about it the AMD Vega iGPUs actually have a decent chance at running it at like 720p if the switch can run it. Yeah the switch has an Nvidia GPU but it's also integrated graphics on a tablet processor that was already a generation old in 2017 when it came out. Most of the fancy gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck and the ROG Ally basically just use clocked down laptop CPUs with only the iGPU anyway. A 3500u is pretty old at this point (and windows 11 eating RAM will probably be an issue) but you should probably be able to get ~30-60fps on a lot of indie/AA games if you run them at 720p/1080p with lower settings
... and are keeping the hate to the appropriate boards (X, I believe it's called nowadays). Should we contract his work and apply it where applicable?
There is no "appropriate board" for hate speech, whether it's antisemitism, transphobia, or anything else. If you wouldn't want someone to be a nazi in your office, why would you pay them if you know they're a nazi somewhere else? Is it fine as long as it's someone else's problem?
On another level, if you had to pay a developer, and you have reason to think they might donate the money you give them to an antisemitic cause, or directly use it to fund their own antisemitism, would you still want to give them that money? Or maybe look elsewhere, even if it means getting something slightly worse?
Not exactly story rich but 2D platformers like Celeste, Hollow Knight, Nine Sols, and Ori will definitely run on your computer and are probably among my favorite games of all time (haven't played much of Nine Sols yet though so I can't really speak for that one)
There's also emulated games, PS1, PS2, pretty much any Nintendo system up to the Wii/3DS etc. which will work on slower/older generation laptops.
Pretty interesting how the number of active users per month has been fluctuating up/down but the number of comments and posts per month has been steadily going up
Reaching a middle ground on an Internet discussion? No, it can't be. There must be something wrong here. I need to keep arguing about minor things like daily routines. Why else would I be here?
/s if it wasn't obvious. This thread makes me happy, have a good day :)
Obviously, it's a silly semantic debate, and someone could equally judge me for wanting my coffee beans roasted and ground "why not eat the berries fresh if you say you love coffee‽".
My point is that it would be silly to judge someone for this, just like it's silly to judge someone for putting creamer in coffee.
Edit: also, what about drinks like mochas, cappuccinos, macchiatos, etc. which also have other ingredients mixed in? Generally it's still fine to call those forms of coffee, no?
Random side note: I've had chocolate-dipped espresso beans before and they're actually a pretty good snack. You just can't eat too many of them because of the caffeine content.
I think the idea is that you can eventually get an approximation of whatever wave-like curve you want by merging several pure sin/cos functions with varying amplitudes, wavelengths, and offsets
Fun fact: this is mostly how JPEG works - it uses fourier transforms to approximate an image in a way that takes up much less storage than storing information about each pixel.
Yeah that's still gatekeeping though. Coffee is coffee regardless of what you put in it. Even if it's gross according to my own individual taste, it's still coffee. Saying anything else is just "better-than-you" gatekeeping.
Edit: it's also nothing like your example at all, because coffee with creamer is still literally made with real coffee, while an apple jacks pop tart is almost definitely not made with real apples.
OP mentioned having used Linux for 4 weeks. If they are interested in learning more about Linux, I feel like even Arch would be a better next step.
I love NixOS and have been using it for over a year at this point but sometimes when things don't work I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall. I've been using Linux for ~7 years now.
It's not magic, it's adoption rates. I'm not saying the money or resources are useless, but as it is right now, I think more people would benefit from actually trying to use rust in more large-scale projects (like R4L, windows, android, redox, servo, etc.) and using that experience to inform actual language development. I don't think it makes sense to do a full revamp of the compiler until projects like those are actually proven. In the meantime it makes more sense to allocate funding/dev resources to those projects (or at least the open source ones)
revamp Rust to produce lightweight binaries, have a stable compiler and for it to be way quicker in compilation
It really isn't that simple though. Rust's compiler isn't stable because the language itself is still being improved. This type of thing will only improve as adoption increases and real-world problems get ironed out. You can't just throw money and devs at it and expect the problem to be solved.
It's also not like the developers don't care about compile time, but the nature of the language (strict compiler checks which catch things before runtime) will inherently lead to something slower that other languages' compilers. There are probably still improvements they can make, but it's not as simple as just deciding to rewrite/revamp it and expecting massive speedups.
Signal is private in that other people can't intercept your messages, including signal. The signal app is open-source so you can be relatively certain it's not tracking your decrypted messages, unlike closed-source apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger or any other private social media.
Signal is not anonymous from an account standpoint, because you need a phone number to sign up, even if you can choose not to display it in your account.
If you have a weak sense of smell then you can't taste them at all. I can taste most things fine though (la croix excluded) without them tasting bland. Smell definitely adds to flavoring but it's not like it's the only thing responsible for how you taste food/drinks.
I'd say it is (was? It's been ~a year and a half since I used it consistently but I'm guessing it hasn't changed too much since then) moderately left by US standards but definitely not progressive left - you don't have to go very far to find thinly-veiled sexism/racism/homophobia, though that might just be because a large portion of the people there are terminally online in a bad way. That being said, there are definitely also communities ranging from conservative to hardcore conservative as well but I actively tried to avoid those so I didn't really see them in my feeds. The same is true with progressive communities but they tended to drift away from being actually progressive once they got to a certain size.
