  • Yep, Beyond All Reason. Awesome open source game like Supreme Commander.

  • Yup. Didn't think anyone would guess it though. I'm quite impressed by ithe game, it definitely has its quirks, but so far it's been a lot more stable and performant than the AAA games I've recently played.

  • Building an army of futuristic battle robots and an artillery cannon and shooting a likewise enemy army to smithereens

  • Bullshit. Even if AI were to fully replace is software developers (which I highly doubt), programming is still a very useful skill to learn just for the problem solving skills.

  • Why is it always popular to hate in whatever the kids like? Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite. It's always a different game but the same story. Let them do a Fortnite dance, it's fun for them and also gets them moving

  • I'm autistic and I've never seen anyone mention the "NTs think I'm tripping" thing mentioned before, but it's definitely something I experience. I like going to festivals and club nights (as long as it's the right music), and I've gotten it quite a lot even though I'm mostly sober. It's weird to get a very concerned "are you ok?" when I'm just enjoying the lights and music, but at least it comes from a good place. I've joked a few times that I'm just perpetually high.

  • This, but then in German (I'm Dutch). It added to the confusion, but at the same time it was way more enjoyable than failing another German grammar test

  • Tbh, that does sound quite awesome. Cold enough that you can still do things like going for a run, but warm enough to be enjoyable. Out of all the types of weather I generally like the 20-25 degree spring/summer weather the most.

    Maybe it's a bit of Stockholm syndrome, but I think I'd start to miss the delightful Dutch autumn/winter/spring classic of rain, wind, and 5-10 degrees Celsius after a while though. It's a collective topic to complain about, and yet there's nothing to remind you that you're home like cycling though this abysmal weather.

  • Lol these drain covers. The cars suck very hard apparently

  • Linux

    Jump
  • Wtf is this image?! Especially the top-right part is very concerning

  • I've been having issues for over a year now, even providing logs etc. But no luck. I've just accepted using the browser (in desktop mode), which works fine with presumably the same DRM. Their app even started crashing my phone at some point when using a chromecast

  • I looked at these videos with very mixed emotions. On the one hand, I marveled at how far we've gotten. In a few years we went from generating sort of okay images in a very confined domain and essentially uncontrollable, to generating high resolution video that on first glance looks real.

    But then the sadness struck me. I think we're entering the post-truth era, where the truth is harder and harder to find because all the fake stuff looks so real. We can generate text, images, sound, and now also video of whatever we want in the blink of an eye. Combine this with the tendency of people to accept any "information" that fits their view, and the filter bubbles that already exist, and we can see that humanity will start living in separate bubbles. Every bubble will have their own truth, and even if someone proves that a video or image is fake, that information will probably not even reach them because the truth doesn't generate enough clicks.

    I want to stay optimistic, we've overcome so much stuff as a species, maybe we'll right the ship at some point. But with all the shit that is already going on in the world, the last thing we need is the ability to fake videos like this in no time at all. At some point the separate filter bubbles will tear our stable western world as we knew it apart, and we'll see shit like WW II again. The situation is already heating up.

  • If BMW drivers can always drive faster in order to tailgate the vehicle in front of them as closely as possible, can't we reach light speed by letting a few BMWs drive in a big circle with some space between them? Think about the possibilities here

  • Kinda off topic, but I'd honestly distrust any product with "freshness guaranteed" on it more than one without. It's like they're trying to compensate for something. Everyone knows that they're going to do the absolute bare minimum they have to do to "guarantee" that freshness, so it's not really a guarantee. Unless they back it up with a great return policy of course.

  • Oh that's hot. Mercedes lucked out that they already have a history of using a black car, so they can get away with plain carbon. But part silver and part black works really well imo

    Edit: hmmm, in this render the black is actually paint. I wonder whether it'll be carbon irl

  • Pretty cool. Looks kinda retro and futuristic at the same time. I like the wheel covers and the red parts on the front wing

  • Seems like a good idea to put that there. People who know what they're doing won't be bothered by it, but it might save a few people from getting hacked

  • Slowly all the cars are consumed by exposed carbon fiber. It's like a virus. I get it though, in the end it's a performance competition, not a looks competition.

  • Not for people who don't speak English as their first language. I had never heard of this use of "break wind" before
