  • pixel binning as a 'solution' to a problem which needn't even exist in the first place.

    Well, I fully agree with this article. There is one other good use of binning/supersampling though, and that is better chroma resolution relative to luma.

    But even that won't do much, with all the other shortcomings already present.

  • It is, and I hate it so much. Like, even a full frame sensor would need some proper ISO magic at 200MP

  • I really don't get the use of super high resolutions on tiny sensors like that.

    Sure, you can have a crazy zoom (aka crop) while still retaining good enough resolution, but at this point?
    All the detriments that minuscule, high-res sensors bring about won't just disappear.

  • Whatever it is, the launcher is just bad in general. May I reccommend Heroic Games Launcher instead? You log in, get authenticated, and then it can download the games directly from the source, without ever having to run this god awful launcher.

  • never really bothered with the spinoffs, as the model of Arch makes them useless and more problematic to deal with

    I highly enjoy using EndeavourOS. But then again, I wouldn't classify it as a spinoff, it's pretty much vanilla Arch, but purple.

    Now Manjaro on the other hand... Tried it and understood why so many people don't like it within the first week.

  • I volunteer to find out

  • I think it's funny how people create accounts only to never actually spend any money on this platform

  • Kiwi as in from New Zealand

  • I only know Ohio as the state that will be invaded by femboys armed with Nerf guns, and a kiwi trans girl leading them

  • If they transparently inform buyers about the account requirement and what that means, then they have done their duty and are compliant, I'd say.

    Not that I like that.

    But as long as the consumer knows everything they need to know to make an informed decision about the product they're going to use, it's all good.

    Now, this decision also needs to be voluntary, so if there are some dark patterns or other carefully constructed circumstances bullying the consumer into accepting all the bs, then that would violate the GDPR.

    But what is voluntary or not is hard to say, for many products and services. Can be argued either way, and you better believe it will be argued either way.

  • Combatting symptoms is nice and all, but ideally you'd want to remove the reason these symptoms exist in the first place.

  • But the prices being so low is exactly what makes people care less about things like privacy, so not great either

  • yum

  • Ahhhh, you're cooking with milk

  • And if even Meta agrees to do it, there's no excuse left, is there

  • On that note, I wish Firefox had a setting to always load sites in reader mode, when available. Ideally with the ability to set exceptions, though.

  • You can have it if you want to, I don't really need it

  • Not everyone can do everything at once, and doing something is better than doing nothing at all.

  • Really? You're missing out.

    They're not called fever dreams for nothing.

  • Say what you want, but a fever knocking you out and having you dream weird stuff is the best part about being sick
