Yeah, but then you still have an Oracle dependency in your stack 🤮

It can be a good experience, depending on the kinds of games you play and your tolerance for input latency. Don’t go in expecting a miracle and you might be surprised how good it is.

The best experience I’ve had so far is with an Apple TV running Steam Link. My Xbox controller is also able to connect to my PC through the floor just fine, which i find helps a bit with the lag compared to pairing it with the Apple TV.

C# is regularly under-represented in OSS, in part because for most of it's existence, the primary implementation (.NET Framework) was not open source or cross platform. It is also very popular in fields where open source is not the norm (game development, bespoke backend infrastructure, embedded apps).

I said it was easy to find C# developers, not that there were more of them on Github.

If the number of possible contributors on github is the big factor here then Python is the obvious choice at 18%.

I understand that being a problem for Rust, but not for many of the other "better than Java" languages on this list. Like, I dunno....C#?

If I'm being honest though, I just really hate Oracle, and that's enough to give me pause over anything they dip their fingers in.

Or C#, it's literally "Java, but good".

The only time I would choose Java for a new project is if I had a hard dependency on something that only works with Java...

Yeah, you're not really paying for the soda. You're paying for the labor that goes into providing the service, maintaining the equipment, etc. Oh, and the paper cup which probably cost more than the liquid you put in it. The high margin on things like soda also subsidizes the cost on lower margin food items.

The true value of soda is also somewhat obfuscated by the fact that most people's point of comparison is packaged soda. A bottle you buy at the store also didn't necessarily cost a lot to make, but actually distributing pre-made soda to retailers is a lot more expensive than shipping syrup which can be mixed with water on-site. That added cost is built into the price of packaged soda.

if data has no value then why do people want it so bad?

disability benefits can’t be garnished. i think it’s ok to be mad at people for spreading misinformation even if they themselves are fighting a just cause. lies like this help nobody.

there are gta v mods that add rtgi and hair simulation?

When has Rockstar themselves put out a bad game?

the play store, like other download stores, provides discoverability, trust, and all the infrastructure to distribute and automatically update your software products.

this is not a worthless service, otherwise publishers wouldn’t have flocked to Steam on Windows in the late ‘00s/early ‘10s. only the very biggest ones like EA and Ubisoft felt like they could make more money by rolling their own.

this doesn’t justify using anticompetitive practices to maintain your market position, but there is real value being provided there.

an interactive medium offers unique avenues for storytelling not available to something more static like a film or a novel.

think things like environmental storytelling or branching narratives.

They aren't charging for convenient access to the data though, they are charging for bulk access. The limitations of the new API should not impact people casually pulling in subtitles with VLC when they watch a movie, which is the purpose the API was intended to fulfill.

To me it was about as good as the Comedy Central seasons. That is to say, not as consistent as the original Fox run but still plenty of bangers in there.

If this run follows the same path as CC, then the quality will trend upwards after this first batch.

I can see that.

However very little of what I've ever seen at a Chinese buffet in America has made me think of real Chinese cuisine.

I think the cakes OP is talking about are just shitty because every one of these cheap buffets gets them from Sysco.

This is Lemmy, nobody reads the article. They just react to the headline they know is cherry picked and find a way to work it into whatever circlejerk suits their fancy.
