Yeah, I also remember some games allowing you to choose compressed or uncompressed textures when they first started to be supported by new cards

Mumble is so good!

I mean we had that

I jumped ship like five years ago. Their intentions have been clear for some time.

Votes mean less on Lemmy than they did on Reddit. So we can sweat it less what people do with them. Not a big deal.

They do. That’s why voter suppression is such a big factor in every election.

I don’t think that your assumptions are true. Non-voters tend to be more progressive than voters, because conservatives vote religiously out of a sense of duty and responsibility, and progressives vote when they feel like it.

This is a lever that moves in two directions. Voter suppression is a very real thing that happens in every American election. It’s practiced by conservative candidates for exactly the asymmetry I mention above.

Young again

YouTube used to be so good. Now it just sucks all the oxygen out of the room, preventing a new golden age anywhere else.

Because it’s not an issue. This is the system functioning as intended. Changing this behaviour would cause dramatic performance degradation for the 99.999% of the time when the device you are writing to isn’t removable media that you want to eject right away.

What “optimization”? It’s obviously not 120GB of code. It’s all texture data, which is certainly already compressed.

I’m pretty sure the main point was getting another million or ten sales for relatively little development cost.

I’m not just willing to never play another ubisoft game, I’m eager to. The games that don’t work are typically exploitative investment vehicles moreso than games.

The text does not speak of trauma. Trauma is not “bad things that happen to you,” it is “things that happen to you that break you.” Two people might have the same experience. One receives life-long trauma and one receives a valuable lesson. You might expect people who have been beaten by their parents to be more likely to bear trauma, but this text doesn’t make that claim. You’d have to call on something else.

This text appears to me to be saying that children who witness their parents suppressing their empathy (such as they must to inflict physical pain) are more likely to do the same.

A history of trauma is more common among people who refuse to harm animals on the basis of empathy (as opposed to being plant based for their health or the environment or something) than among the general population. I suspect that empathy is innate. I suspect that people who have experienced trauma have less capacity to ignore, interfere with, and override their empathy.

The foot bears more than 100% of your weight because it is cantilevered. The greater the cantilever, the greater the multiplier to the weight.

You’re arguing that a small foot has a small contact patch. But we need to be able to shift all our weight to our toes, and that contact patch is more a function of the width of your foot, not the length.

Because it’s cheap greebling. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GbK_98uXAAAaD0I.jpg

Looks more like a late 80s movie to me. I assure you, we did not need AI to generate our nonsense for us.
