I don’t know enough about how the rest of the world runs to generalise further
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 5 hours ago:
People in power in the west are barely moving the needle for their own people sadly.
Also even if they did, they’d still need a valid cause to start an international conflict I think, it’s why Russia tried the “it’s actually russians in Ukraine that are being oppressed and we’re liberating them” excuse
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 6 hours ago:
Generally countries in the west only get involved in conflicts if they get something out of it, be it directly via getting wealth from the country, or indirectly like curbing successful non-capitalistic economies before they catch on and their own people start questioning the billionaires. The “we’re there to liberate people” is just marketing speech.

Well, say, country-size :D

Does that lead to any performance hiccups with very detailed svgs? The benefit of raster is you can mipmap them, so you don’t need to see how super detailed the coast of a country is like when it’s only a few pixels on screen. I suppose you could fake mipmaps by having different levels of detail for svgs that get swapped between, as long as any other changes you make to the svg are simple colour changes?

The first change doesn’t seem to be related, but that second link is promising.

I know that makes sense to do, but that’s different from them making plans to do it

What makes you think Labour are looking to change that?
- Comment on Does people doing things that upset others also upset you? 6 days ago:
I’d say no, you can develop an allergic reaction to many things, doesn’t mean we should ban it all because of that or because it’s upsetting to some people. As for “upsetting” I think it’s everyone’s freedom to perfume however they want, if it’s something socially concerning like idk, smell of puke, then feel free to raise an eyebrow at their choice and vacate the premises (if possible, if it’s on a plane then yeah might need to get them to cover it up), but just because it’s generally unacceptable to use that as an aroma doesn’t mean it should be banned still, mainly because the intention isn’t to harm but to self express. Banning something should be a last resort.
- Comment on If people's voices become copyright protected in the future as a response to AI, will any non-commercial uses of voices be affected as well? 6 days ago:
Ai models should contain a database of all the data it was trained on, where it came from, and through what license did it get perms to train on it. That way you don’t get the issue of comparing outputs to real life work, because the issue isn’t with the output, it’s with the use of the data in the first place without permission to train the AI model, and no it’s not similar to humans learning. The scale and accuracy of reproduction from a software is so much higher than a human that it’s not even a comparison, before we get to what it means to allow humans to grow as people by enriching themselves Vs what it means for a corporate owned churner.

Hmm I’m not sure using gacha games which are designed for addictive gameplay loops and predatory monetisation being the games that your kid prefers over standalone experiences is a good argument to make

Cart persistence and going through the actual checkout is not great. Plus even as a browser there’s no progress bar or sense of stuff still doing something so you’re sat waiting for things to progress

- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 3 weeks ago:
Nah there’s some games that still only have stuff on moddb, thunderstore is the main place for v rising and a few other popular titles, and for Minecraft there’s curseforge and modrinth. The community is more fragmented than you’d think

- Comment on CODE VEIN II — Announcement Trailer 5 weeks ago:
It just looks like Pokémon trainer models, but worse in terms of proportions.
- Comment on CODE VEIN II — Announcement Trailer 5 weeks ago:
This looks… Rough. The character designs seem to be a major downgrade from before, and the lore and plot don’t seem to follow up at all on the last game?

Are you sure you don’t have some client side dark mode on from your email client? It’s often the case that those don’t work too well, particularly if an email has an image background.

Privacy and pressure I’m guessing. Now the other person knows you’ve seen the message and the feeling of being perceived when you just want to send a message in your own time can be uncomfortable for some.

… yeah Skyrim the region exists just next door to Cyrodiil, crazy that.
- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Mod Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 2 months ago:
I’d argue they’re the most vocal about it, but no. They release a half lobotomized set of tools, they keep making modder unfriendly changes to the games (recompiling the exe for no reason every time a new cc mod was released for Skyrim, which meant you needed to wait for skse to update too) including having load order broken at launch in Starfield. Also the many ways and attempts they’ve made at monetising mods with them getting a cut. Not to mention this new Oblivion game needs new tools to work with it and once again like with Skyrim VR, “modding is unsupported”, though that could just be a decision made by the Devs since they’re developed by third party studios.
I’d say Larian is actually pulling their weight tho, with bg3 modding going quite well and them frequently highlighting mods on their twitter. Also CDPR who looked at the most popular mods and added them to the base game as polished features.

Yeah that’s partly what I meant by debugging

This is why even though English is my second language I will set software to be in English, I know any translations into my primary language will use weird and uncommon phrases (also makes debugging harder)
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting 12 new subclasses next week 2 months ago:
It’s a pre-written balanced set of classes to try out, it’s not a requirement to play d&d and you can also just homebrew your own stuff. I don’t see how shouting at the sky about an optional purchaseable module helps
