  • "what's wrong babe? Your not in the mood ?

    • it's not that... it's the cat...
    • c'mon, he just a pet, he doesn't understand what we're doing.
    • 😺: don't mind me, I'm just sitting here."
  • Well, realistic graphics are costly and time consuming. If development time and budget is spent of photorealism, it's not being spent on game mechanics or additional stories.

  • This may be a simple coincidence. Maybe you had similar YouTube suggestions in the past but you didn't pay attention because they come at random times. Like if you drive a Honda Civic, you tend to spot all the Honda Civic in the street.

    There would be an interesting experiment to make though:

    1. Take a snapshot of your YouTube recommandations
    2. Choose a subject that has nothing to do with any of the recommandations, let's say "travel to the Bahamas"
    3. Hold a conversation with someone with both your phone's present, mention several time going to the Bahamas.
    4. Check YouTube again, si if the topic of Bahamas is appearing.
    5. Choose another topic not covered by your recommendations, let's say collecting stamps
    6. Put your phones away, have a conversation about collecting stamps
    7. Check YouTube recommandations
  • Who cares about photorealism ? Artistic direction just has to be consistent to contribute to the world building. Other than that, I think many will agree with me that most important are: good writing (characters and story arcs), good gameplay, creative concepts.

  • Or whole kernels that run in a Hypervisor.

    Isn't it what Microsoft does on Xbox One & Series ?

  • Seagulls! Stop it now.

  • Insane flex

  • The client for Android TV works very nicely. Maybe there is a way to use the same UI on consoles?

  • I feel like outdated software on the stable distro like Debian has become less of a problem with the development of flatpak.

  • You haven't heard of Joël Le Scouarnec yet.

  • Fedora is a very solid, no nonsense distro. It gives you a vanilla Linux experience, with sane defaults out of the box. You get major updates every 6 month shipping newer version of the core stuff (kernel, desktop environment, etc). The Fedora community is dedicated to deliver a reliable OS and tests a lot before shipping updates.

    It's my favorite desktop/laptop distro for many years.

    However, there are a couple a pitfalls to avoid. If you go for it, follow some beginners guide to get you sorted out with things like codecs and proprietary drivers. E.g: Things to do after installing Fedora 40 - itsfoss.com I would definitely recommend to do steps 2, 3, 4 and 5 from this guide.

  • Ubuntu isn't such a bad choice if you want to quickly spin up a server.

  • It's a famous copypasta

  • This is not at all the case.

    Most potentiometers have a full rotation or 270°, sometimes up to 300°. By convention the mid-travel is at 12 o'clock. That would make the 0 around 7:30 and the 10 around 4:30.

  • Encrypt first, then upload. Of course, not always easily applicable.

  • Feeling excitement about this perfectly ironed shirt

  • If you drink it, you will make that face :C=C=O

  • Ardour is definitely professional grade, but I must say that it's far from simple to setup. First, you may not have the latest version available in you SW repository and you would have to compile it yourself! Then, despite all the progress brought by pipewire, audio config in Linux is complicated and unreliable, especially for this time of work, requiring different audio devices, MIDI control interfaces and VSTs.

    I am not an audio professional, I'm an amateur, and found myself demotivated by the amount of work required until I am ready to create music, and finally gave up :(

  • They knew.

  • You do not need specific hardware to use passkey. For example you can use a password manager like Bitwarden and have your passkeys sync between multiple devices, including a good old regular computer.

    Specific hardware car be use to secure how the passkeys are stored. For example, smartphones usually have a security chip that help s with storing encrypted data.
