PC gaming is not here to stay. One day, someone, will finally do a cloud /saas streaming solution which works, which solves the latency and fidelity issues and which will be accepted and trusted by the masses.

Hopefully that will be a Valve solution. Not Nvidia, MS, Google or Sony.

From that moment on the client will not matter anymore and you will just stream it to your device and from there cast it to your big screen.

Hopefully I’m full of shit and this will never happen. But I’m afraid I’m not.

Just watch that xkcd graphic my dude. Somebody else already linked it. It makes the issue very clear and is quite scientifically based.

Yes, everything you said is factually true. That doesn’t mean your interpreting it all correctly. We not just accelerated it, we where strolling along the path of planetary heating and then decided to step aboard the Starship Enterprise and screamed: “MR SULU WARP FACTOR NINE, STAT!”

We’re fucking with systems (planetary weather patterns) we can’t comprehend. And to solve it we again fuck with that system but now not by adding energy (heat) but by removing energy from it (wind, radiation)

I think both will have issues. But for now removing lots and lots of energy from the system will greatly benefit us.

In the end it will always come down to population control or going interplanetary as a species.

More people on this planet, in this system will always mean more heat. Remove the excess from the system and it will find its equilibrium again.

But… Removing the excess sounds nice but isn’t. Especially when you are deemed to be the excessive one.

You want to know where global warming can lead to? Look no further then Venus.

This is not a hurdle, its a nuisance at best. It’s stupid though.

That would be super awesome. It would be a master move for all involved. Sign me up.

Let’s see what max can do with the merc. Lets see if alonse still has it. Lets see stroll getting demolished by yuki.

I just cant wait for the: “bono my fucking tites are gone…” or another simply lovely max meltdown.

Name one company which does. There aren’t. Every corporation is big, cumbersome and full of people who make mistakes and don’t follow procedures.

In other news, water is wet. I only see FUD here.

Hold up, hold up. “on linux such a thing doesnt exist” is a very bold statement for something containing millions of lines of code.

There where and will be more then enough zero days in Linux, be it because of malice or incompetence.

Open source doesn’t say anything about the quality of the code.

Ever heard of log4j? Open source code…

For reasons unknown this reaction was placed wrongly. My client fucked up.

It is in response to https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/u/SnotFlickerman

@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone

What are you saying? Age discrimination is ok? Older people are too expensive? This is a made up problem?

Or are you saying this is ok because it has been happening for decades and it shouldn’t change because it has been going on forever ?

I don’t get it.

Discrimination is bad, m’kay? Against white, yellow, black, red, old, young, man, women, trans and everything in between I forgot. It all shouldn’t matter. Especially in the corporate world.

It’s bullshit. If someone does a good job there is no reason to fire them. If it’s true then i say to this guy : good for you. Make 'em pay.

If you watch, binge, all seasons se08 becomes more logical. There are small markers all over the series predicting it all. I didn’t pickup those at first (weekly) watch.

I say more logical, not logical.

Se01-se06 are still TV magic. Se07 (dany’s attack on the lannister convoy comes to mind) still is good and se08 just speed runs everything.

I still think that was their only true mistake: speed running the season. It gave us everything we wanted. But in such a way nobody could enjoy it all. Jaime finally becoming true good only to return to his true love? (some very powerful acting there) Check. The long night? Check. End of the night king? Check. Ice dragon? Check. Arya voyage finally given meaning? Check. Jorahs redemption? Check. Cleganebowl? Check. Cersei dies? Check. Return of the mad king queen? Check. Theon’s redemption? Check. Destruction of kings landing? Check. Etc etc etc. It ticks all the boxes and more you didn’t even know they existed. It’s just that it ticks them in such an insane speed which results in gaps in the storytelling. Gaps of which some are filled if you binge it all but most will not.

Se08 had to be 2 seasons. Season 8, ending with the long night, se09, the fall of the red keep.

Yes, the 2nd dragon had to die for the sake of the story. Missandei had to die to cement Cersei being the baddest cruel bitch and complete dany’s arc to insanity. But like this? That was stuff for an entire episode. Not the final three minutes of one.

Brad suffered extremely for his wrath. As did spaceys character. (who was wrath all along in this movie.)

With envy you’re right. Never thought of that. But the whats in the box scene is so very powerful I kinda never noticed. It is powerfully acted, directed, shot. It cemented the career of everyone who was involved, right there.

Do really really believe that?

If yes then

A) the Russians must have some supertech to hold back the Ukrainian push of the last few months. Just 112 men per mile againsts those columns of Bradley’s and Leopards. Wow.

Or

B) the Ukrainians are truly shit fighters.

I go for C). These figures which are spoon fed to us are bullshit.

Just look at the numbers of the past year or so. If we believe them the Russian army is no more and has been defeated 6 months ago.

But they aren’t. They’re still there.

So, if i must believe this, those 13% left in Ukraine are very capable, very effective troops, able to move over that gigantic front in minutes, seconds even to fill the gaps. They must have some kind of teleportation device. It must be possible, since startrek’s Chekov is Russian after all. He knows how it works.

Or maybe these figures are just pulled out of someone’s ass. Like everything else in this war.

The best movie I’ve never watched again.

So… What your telling us is that it’s bad. Not good.

because incompatible. It won’t work on any device. Except those of that cult. That cult whose leader killed himself after magically getting a a new liver somewhere in Asia.

You know, donor organs for which there are waiting lists of months and months.

Which was totally not weird and surely 100% legal and all. Just fine.

You know what really abouts the flying f out of me?

Even if I start with something quite heavy like system of a down, ace of spades or whatever it always ends up after half an hour with ballads, soft rock and what have you. Elevator music.

Why. Why? Wasn’t I clear ? I want metal. And lots of it. That’s what i started with. Not muzak. Stay with the genre. Not jump them.

Not to shit on you (well maybe as little) but the guy has a point.

You want them to not care. Doesn’t that go both ways? If some edgy straight horny teen wants more straight tiddies and less gay in his game, who the fuck cares?

Cause let’s be honest, that’s what we’re talking about here. Teens and desperate 30 year olds.

And don’t you think what you imply is scary?

And with that I mean : “people’s thoughts influence their actions”

I fucking hope so.

And who are you to tell them what is right and what is wrong?

The question, the problem with crypto, is not how, it’s why?

It isn’t about if we can or cannot. It’s about the usecase of it all.

For now, the only use case crypto has is wel… Betting. It’s hard to call it anything else like speculation.

You would be out of your mind to use it as a currency. The worth of crypto is too volatile. Even black market usage is problematic due to this. (did i just buy a pound of coke for 50k or 100k? Who knows? I guess we see tomorrow)

It also is too slow to use as a currency; the transaction times are off the charts compared to other forms.

It also is the most wasteful form for storing wealth.

It’s also the most risky way for storing wealth. The amount of hacks and scams are insane.

It, in its current form will never be a legal tender. Currency is about control for governments, to devalue or not, to prop up the economy, boosting it or easing it down when needed and crypto doesn’t provide that. So to use that wealth you’ll always need an exchange. A third party. Which, recent history has thought us, are very prone to abuse and regulation. they can be banned overnight. (China comes to mind)

It’s a solution. The question is for what. The popularity of it all is based on 2 things : greed and the fear of missing out. (which again boils down to greed)

(chuckles)

This is a weird take. Just because someone is (or has been) successful he can’t speak about or for socialism?

You can’t be successful and a socialist? Is that it? That’s a very narrow and simply wrong view which has resulted in a lot of damage in societies which adopted it.

Socialism needs succes stories. Otherwise, what’s the point? Mediocrity for all? That will never fly or become popular.
