Years ago, when Telegram was relatively fresh, I convinced most of my friends and acquaintances to use it. I don't know how I did it, but now that I want to get away from Telegram, I wish I could do it again.
Hm I occasionally dream about getting messages or seeing/doing something on social media, but I never use a device when doing so. It's just the isolated experience. It doesn't happen very often but when it does it's the only content of the dream.
Wait I had a similar idea once! Youre right that would be cool af, but very difficult to get right. In open world games you usually get away with "isolated" side quests, in a dense cube this is difficult – which might be a good thing, it forces interconnectivity.
Oh it's been a year already?!? Time flies when you have a good time I guess. Thank you!
I edited my comment I forgot the conclusion as always lol you might wanna check it again
AI is a tool that's used as a disinfo machine primarily, at least LLMs are in praxis, and they get better much faster at that in particular with such amounts of data. But I would argue that this kind of data (acquired without user consent) isn't necessary for them to get better edit: at anything else.
I would be much more okay with corpos or states invading my privacy if anything actually useful would come of it, but it kinda doesn't. I left corpo social media behind not because it was hungry for what data I could provide it, but because it used mine and others user data to make itself worse. And the desire to drop my smartphone and go full dumb tech or no tech at all grows with every passing day. But the paranoia every privacy-concious person experiences sooner or later, some more intense than others, was not something initial for me.
edit: ... as was privacy-burnout. I always keep that in mind, I try ro remember, that the reason privacy bothers me is not (only) to protect myself. It's not a futile fight for independence of anything, it's tied to a vision I have of the world.and the future
Hope this makes sense I have the feeling what I write often doesn't
Hmmm I think I will go with "fandom", or being a fan of something. Like, I enjoy concepts. But there's no universe or product or franchise or sports team or whatever in particular I would consider myself a fan of.
I mostly use them for really simple things like hovering the cursor over something to show a tooltip, or navigating menus in DRG and the inventory in Minecraft.
I realized how much I miss this hybrid approach when I had my 3 month long Genshin Impact phase. Genshin does support either Keyboard and Mouse or controller input, but not both at thw same time, and the menus suffer from mildly inconsistent UI and UX.
I think if you cut the player base roughly in half, the players that care for multiplayer titles which don't work on Linux (yet) are also the ones not caring as much about touchpads; while the other half are a different kind of gamer who appreciates or even needs them.
I was having a smoke break with some colleagues once and was talking about how it should be possible to simulate solar panels in 3D, to account for occlusions by roofs, other buildings, trees etc. Didn't know there was a dedicated software and job for that, that's so cool!
But there should be data on weather and climate variations. So theoretically you could include that data into the calculation. Theoretically. Who's gonna do it?
There's this article in a German IT sec blog which compares the more well-known privacy focused ROMs. If you have any way to translate it, you should check it out. It is a really nice addition to the Eylenburg comparison.
i want customization to my os as long as this is possible
I was rocking Ressurection Remix and Xposed on my old Note 4 and customized the hell out of it. I'm on Graphene now and I don't miss it a bit. Maybe a little.
Graphene can be installed on your phone via a web browser on a PC on laptop. You should install it and try it out, it's very easy.
This may be feasible for WQHD, but upscaling from 960x540 > 1920x1080 doesn't really sound like an upgrade from WXGA anymore.
Another problem is that while there are some 3D games that support internal upscaling (FSR etc), not every game has the option to scale the UI indepently so things look extremely small at higher resolutions. The games that support both should be an exception and look better on a higher DPI screen.
I do believe that you could either slightly increase the resolution and screensize to 1600x1000 or 1600x900, or just use a WQHD-screen so you can get clean 2x upscaling from 720p.
