I work in IT and use the search engine around 100 times a day in order to find specific answers to specific edge cases. DDG results are just too generic most of the time.

But once they get better, oh yeah.

DuckDuckGo CEO apparently is just another CEO. I've been an early adopter that's been using their search engine long before there were apps or a browser.

What's stopping people from using DDG isn't switching to DDG, it's getting absolutely dogshit results 90% of time. As an advanced user I know I can prefix my search with "!g phrase" to use Google instead of DDG. The sad fact is that despite the ad-ridden result page and tracking, Google is still lightyears ahead in providing relevant, and especially timely results for a user that is both tech-savvy and critical.

They need to improve their product, users will follow a good adfree search engine, that's a given. Only a fraction of users will put up with degraded results in order to search without tracking.

I sincerely hope they will get their tech up to par. And that their browser on mobile reaches feature parity soon. (as a Z Fold user, DDG browser doesn't have tabs. Brave, Vivaldi and Firefox does).

The new kid on the block needs humility and good tech, not shittalk. Fuck that CEO,. he's undermining something very promising and important.

Eikös virallinen kanta tähän ollut, että korvamerkityn rahan pitää riittää - tai hyvinvointialueita yhdistetään?

Even if 100% of EV charging was by burning oil/coal, the power plants still manage this with greater efficiency than the internal combustion engine on your car. That means that even at it's worst, it's still way more environmentally friendly to drive an EV.

Still no proof capsaicin caused the death. I'm eagerly awaiting for what the autopsy unveils

Hq is equivalent to 320kbps, noticably better than YT quality

Todd said they capped it at 30 for fidelity (= high quality settings). Series X supports variable refresh rate if your TV can utilize it (no tearing). Series X chooses applicable refresh rate which you can also override. All TVs support 60, many 120, and VRR is gaining traction, too.

Let's take Remnant II, it has setting for quality (30) balanced (60) and uncapped - pick what you like.

CE is still CE, all the same floaty npc, hitting through walls, bad utilisation of hardware have been there for ages. They can't fix it, so it's likely tech debt. They need to start fresh or jump to an already working modern engine.

And it'll still probably run at 30FPS

And that's trusting that whoever uploaded the track had a good quality source. And it's still double encoded.

It runs like shit on consoles. 30fps.

They didn't optimize it for consoles either. Series X has equivalent of 3060 RTX graphical grunt, yet it's capped to 30fps and looks worse than most other AAA games that have variable framerates up to 120fps. Todd says they went for fidelity. Has he played any recent titles? The game looks like crap compared to many games from past few years, and requires more power.

The real reason behind everything is the shit they call Creation Engine. An outdated hot mess of an engine that's technically behind pretty much everything the competition is using. It's beyond me why they've not scrapped it - it should have been done after FO4 already.

Your arguments didn't actually invalidate the comment you replied to. They are just arguments against nuclear being a short-term solution.

We need both, short and long term ones. Wind and water cannot be solely relies upon. Build both types.

I believe that from his comment ("what are you going to do with that in 10 years"), he was implying buying new cars. I see nothing odd in buying used ICE cars, but I wouldn't dish out for a new one at this point.

Now if you buy a used car for 10k now, you'll probably have a harder time getting value out of it in 10 years vs. EV.

Ah, because the only EVs in the market are Rivian ones.

No, this article is pretty much idealistic rant aimed at hating the ceo. The product is fine.

Edit: the ads and crypto are opt in. I'd like to see if anyone ranting here about them has actually used Brave and went so far as to opt in to things they don't want

There's literally a feature on Spotify where you can hide an artist and never see it, fyi

I 100% agree, just without the scummy PR-driven administrators, but a more community driven vibe to it. Just like Reddit in the olden days. (my account was 13 years old and once the API went, so did I).

Now if there are instances who don't want Lemmy to grow from what it is now, then by all means the admins are well within their rights to defederate their own community.

As for me personally, I gladly await when my default browsing sort is something else than Everything @ top day.

I should post more.

Tbh something you can only hear the last second is way scarier 99.9% of the time, because you can't expect to hear it's coming. Could happen anywhere any time.

Non-paywall link?

Don't kid yourself: data centers are easier to have closer to many locations, but ones with hardware that works for cloud gaming, less so. And even in a best case scenario, it's still too big a delay to comfortably play anything apart from casual games.

Even streaming a game from your PC to living room box, such as Nvidia Shield, even wired, makes it nigh impossible to play racing games well, or anything that requires aiming. It's not far, almost playable when streaming in LAN, but any WAN in the mix and it's just not feasible.

Networking has a long way to go before streamed reactive games are even close.
