  To be fair, I struggled with the UK signs when I moved here from Sweden. Big yellow quite distinct, to smaller ones that pop less from the surroundings. Not an excuse as such, but I find it understandable.

  I was gonna tell you it was a meme and they don’t actually work. This being in science meme I thought they might actually be stereographic images, but it’s from so far away you wouldn’t be able to discern any 3D-ness. But I was wrong the height is exaggerated. For me the walleyed version worked for me, I just had to zoom in on one image and hold my phone quite far away.

  If you think social bullying like this is some kind of rare thing I got some terrible news for you.

  It goes far beyond just having pricey clothing, kids these days are bullied for not spending money in Fortnite. partner.sciencenorway.no/…/2307469

  It’s bad, even in countries like the UK where they have dress codes to try and address it, you’ll still he picked in for not having the right accessories.

  I read it the same way you did. If you want to terminate the EULA, then they request you remove your copies of the game. In that snippet it says nothing about them arbitrary demand you delete all your copies.

  It’s not because he did anything wrong in wow that people are upset/memeing about, it’s because he’s unable to say “I’m sorry, I could have done better” without including any buts or “the others also messed up”. It has just exposed him as an incredibly self obsessed person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon turns on raytracing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget the 10 shadow copies of my car/weapon following me around. It’s like someone really liked having a trailing mouse cursor and thought everything should have it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube "search results"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not gonna question it, and just be happy it works for now 😄

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube "search results"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the point. You get all the videos, but with a lot less crud.

  Denuvo will revoke your licence to play a game if it thinks you’ve installed the game on computers with different hardware. Issue is it gets confused by changing the proton version that runs the game, thinking it’s a new install on a new computer, and so quickly bans you from playing the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or Linux 😄 I really liked Game Pass though. Played some great games in there I would either have completely missed or have had to wait years for them to be discounted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forbidden Tech⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I will just regurgitate what I’ve heard. I think they are used in case power goes out and you have a generator. You need to disconnect from the power grid first, but it should then allow you to power tour house with the generator. It sounds more like a US thing.

  In addition to what others have said, you can search for “thinn blue line” for more info on it. Basically meant to be on support of the kind of cops that killed George Floyed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NO TO AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re falling victim to comparing the most our brains to the current most advanced technology. People used to say the brain is like a clock, with their tiny individual gears all working together to produce a result. Then computer came along with all their wiring and gasp long term and short term memory, just like a brain! Now we’re at neural nets, surely that is what a brain is, it’s right in the name! But no, a neural net is inspired by our brains neurons, it is wrong to think our brains are anything like a neural net.

  Besides, even if we go with our brains being just like an NN, a brain only fed brain rot, will only likely produce brain rot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NO TO AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Except AI models trained on generated data does regress it. They need human generated content to actually improve.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you're still on Lemmy...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. And luckily for Lemmy and all other FOSS projects the worst that can happen is a fork of the project is created with a potentially fractured community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you're still on Lemmy...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But that’s exactly what I said in the beginning. The worst that can happen is the original creators take the project in an undesired direction so a fork is created.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you're still on Lemmy...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess the closest I know of is Maps.me and Organic Maps? Maps.me was open source, but got purchased and enshittified, so Organic Maps was forked from it. And now there is some drama with the Organic Maps shareholders/co-founders, so unless that is (or has it already been?) sorted out we’re likely to see another fork of it.

  Please correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the main dev(s) members of lemmy.ml? So I can certainly see how differing political views could skew the development of the main branch of Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you're still on Lemmy...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The protocol itself could surely start its journey if enshittification? In which case different, possibly incompatible, branches would spawn fragmenting the Lemmy space. Still miles better than the whole thing burning to the ground. But with no shareholders looming around (yet) we can hope it won’t come to that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon appreciates Chris Sawyer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So the people behind the Agile Manifesto are far more experienced than some random dissatisfied dev. What I think most teams miss is that the only required meeting in the Agile manifesto is to regularly meet up to discuss what has worked and what hasn’t the past few weeks, aka retrospective. If there are meetings or processes that don’t work for a team and they don’t change it after the next retrospective, then they simply aren’t agile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon appreciates Chris Sawyer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are 1 hour (or anything close to it) really a thing that happens? No wonder people hate on scrum then. It’s called a stand up because no one wants to stand still for more than 10 minutes and would like to get out of there asap. 😐

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon fixes their games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is odd. DLSS should definitely net you a handful of frames. Games often run better with ray tracing on and DLSS on quality vs native without ray tracing, sometimes doubling it. Some newer titles I find are only playable (at the very least 60 fps) because of DLSS (which is a whole problem in and of itself). I absolutely prefer running without any sort of temporal AA because of smudges and ghosting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it's not a text, the phone/video call is all about you and what you want. So I may as well join in.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess I do it for a couple of reasons. My mind wanders a lot, looking at myself keeps me a bit focused and ensures I don’t do anything silly. I also try to put myself as close to the camera as I can, I know you often come off better looking into the camera when speaking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one drawback to walking at night⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. Like I get “hurr durr statistics”. But you’re not very likely to be in a car crash on any given day, but you still put your seat belt on. That people can’t take the backseat for just a second and have some empathy for the struggles of other people without butting in with whataboutism. You’re even allowed to share in their struggle. I don’t fear I’ll be SAd, but of course I fear physical violence, so use your commonality to support each other rather than trying to one up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sand Boa⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an all or nothing unless you want to be the ruler who decides whose phobia is common or sever enough to justify a content warning.

  Sorry, Jane Doe, but your xanthophobia just isn’t common enough to warrant a content warning.

  I don’t mean to demean you, but saying that your particular phobia is bad enough to warrant a cw, but then saying that someone else’s isn’t, comes off as quite a poor take.
