One video showing something better than the entire concept of the metaverse. Probably because this doesn’t look like a way to create a space specifically to rent, sell or advertise shit.

Define “important” in this context.

I don’t get any indication from the search that there’s a single unfixable issue, seems like various crash/freezing issues being reported over the months. I’ve only seen an issue where I needed to restart my system once in the year or so I’ve been on Linux, and that seemed to just be linked to one game (that I’ve since played without issue).

This is also the second time I’ve seen someone with a vague reference to an amd issue that is described in a way that sounds both profound (breaks for system) and mundane (by making it freeze once in a blue moon). And instructions to do a search that will give results but the implication is that they are about some massive single issue when the search term is going to give lots of unrelated results. Smells like disinformation to me, or rather trying to make nornal issues appear like massive ones.

Replace “amdgpu” with “nvidia” or “linux” with “windows” and there’s still tons of results.

Oh come on, I see right through your posturing to be allowed to open an all-dolphin game dev sweat shop. Stop it, it’s a waste of money because the whales always interfere and get the dolphins to unionize after the dolphins earn their programming degrees and then they go out and write emulators (because obviously we just close the shop). One of these days they’ll get in contract with the penguins and might start pumping out Linux distros!

Pour quois pas les deux

On the one hand, I agree, but on the other hand, this means that the ones supported by the billionaires will have the advantage.

Not that there’s any guarantee media you pay for isn’t owned by billionaires paying more. Or just promising things to bootlickers that they might never intend on following through on.

Goo goo ga chu?

Behind the Bastards did a show on him. My memory is fuzzy on the specifics, and holy shit was it complicated trying to find out the information without listening to the episode(s) again, but no, he wasn’t just a silly self-parody and stepped over the line to be a piece of shit.

Allegations against him:

• Person of interest in the murder of his neighbour (that he was known to be hostile with) in Belize. He eventually fled the country when he became a person of interest.
• Another time when his compound was raided on suspicion of manufacturing meth, he answered the door armed and naked (ok, that goes along with the parody bit) and authorities found a terrified 17-year-old in his bed.
• This wasn’t a one off thing, based on what other visitors have said was going on when they were there.
• Nanette Burnstein made a documentary about him. She was in contact with him and visited his compound at one point. When she told him she wanted to leave, he raped her before allowing her to go.

So yeah, it wasn’t all just silly running for president while living on a boat he frequently searched for stowaway spies due to deep paranoia (combined with knowing that he’d done things to make it realistic that authorities might really be trying to get him) and making shirtless videos while heavily armed. But I did think the same as you before hearing that episode.

I wonder what this timeline would be like if he had accepted that his submarine idea was naive despite the good intentions and just paid to have a nice setup with comfortable tents and catered food for the divers and kids as they got out of the cave (plus their families). Instead of attacking the guy and showing the world who he was, kicking off a cycle of him lashing out at his falling popularity, resulting in it falling even more, then more lashing out, etc.

Even if he was like that the whole time, he might have kept his mask on instead of leaning into it, probably would have never made that offer for Twitter, might have tried to appear neutral instead of joining Trump’s campaign.

Though hard to say because the self-driving bs and cybertruck would have still happened and might have kicked off that cycle anyways.

This has all been an elaborate illusion created by Chris Angel.

“And they all lived happily ever after” should be replaced with “and that’s how they resolved that problem”.

To add on to what the other comments said, when the screwdriver slipped and the shell closed completely briefly, making the ball go critical, they all knew what happened and he immediately asked everyone in the room to note their position and calculated the approximate radiation dose they each got up figure out who was going to slowly melt into goo over the next few days and who was going to die of cancer over the years.

He knew right away that he was one of the goo ones.

So I’m not sure I’d call that heroic discovery because they already knew what would happen and were just showing off how much balls they had fucking with something so deadly.

One time, I arrived at a small store as an employee was finishing their smoke break, exchanged friendly words as we both went towards the door. In that moment, I realized that if I open the door, it’ll be right in his way and I paused, unsure about how to handle it. He ended up opening it for me, but the whole thing felt awkward as fuck, like my pause was because I was waiting for him to open it for me. Easily the worst door opening experience I’ve ever had. I’m a dude btw.

You can do the “push open the door more as you let it go” and let them decide if they would rather hurry to get it or just open it themselves.

Seems to me like the bubble is getting even worse because of efforts to deny that it is a bubble in the first place.

Oh yeah, I understand the sentiment entirely. With so many dark patterns dominating the world we live in because we live in a society that decided to embrace greed instead of seeing it as a primary motivator of evil, I can’t blame anyone that looks at the state of things with suspicion anytime there are downsides. And while it isn’t realistic to expect as good audio from a built-in system as a separate dedicated audio system, I do think it’s ridiculous that the standard is so dysfunctional that you either can’t understand what people are saying or explosions are way too loud. Especially in this digital world where mixing separate audio channels isn’t a difficult task. Streaming services should just have a stereo and mono version of the audio that is mixed well for that format if it is actually a harder problem than I think it is.

Some of it is practicality, but I don’t doubt that greed also plays into it. I mean, even on the modularity side, I don’t have the option of easily finding a TV without any speakers at all, or a TV without smart features that a) aren’t as good as other options I have to access those features and b) were actually thrown in to spy on data, as your previous comment mentioned.

So yeah, I don’t blame you at all for being suspicious of the companies that absolutely are trying to fuck their users because their real customers are data buyers, even if I do prefer my soundbar.

Can you do the Jackie Chan style “pull the slide off someone’s pistol so they only have gun parts instead of a functional gun in their hand?”

I appreciate TVs not wasting resources on putting decent speakers in it that I’ll never use because I did buy a soundbar over a decade ago that has decent sound and has outlasted the TV I bought it for. Plus TVs are so thin these days that they probably can’t even drive decent bass, and the speakers they do have are rear facing, so they don’t even drive the sound towards you.

Modularity isn’t a bad thing IMO.

Just double click your headboard and your bed maximizes.
