That’s true. Ray tracing libraries and engines like UE5 are a lot easier to develop on than older engines.

But I’m not sure it’s such a simple comparison. 3d acceleration made games look better, and the weakest gpus didn’t make your fps tank afaik. Your average gpu these days will tank your FPS in ray tracing and cause awful visual artifacts, either from bad denoising algorithms, or from the upscalers used to hide the bad FPS and bad denoising.

This move reduces development costs, but given that the consumer doesn’t get any benefits from it, it’s hard not to have the cynical view that this is just greedy cost cutting on Microsoft’s part.

Microsoft getting me to buy this game requires me to care.

Not buying a new GPU for a new Doom game.

there’s an African I work with, I think you guys should investigate him because hes really bad at his job and he’s been posting extremist content online. He’s obviously a DEI hire and I really think he needs to be fired. His name is Elon Musk.

Delfin looks really good! Starred on Codeberg. Thanks for the tip!

Ok, but it’s also easily debunkable, and you can’t moderate away stupid. What they posted isn’t illegal misinformation according to EU law. I’d rather they do their misinformation in a community here than on Twitter or Truth Social.

cool to see a Gui for falco

No need to brigade other people for disagreeing with you. If their views are harmful, their community will get banned by lemmy.world so it’s not your problem.

I’m gonna say that I’m happy for everyone to have their own, public and community run social media. Those without harmful views are welcome to participate in discussions, and those with harmful view may be banned but eventually mature past those harmful views by being outside of elon/Russia misinformation chambers.

Very serious vulnerability. These systems likely haven’t been revised since the 80s or 90s.

what the fuck is a deia contract. Do they just want a list of scapegoats they can be racist, sexist, and bigoted to?

theyre invasive

Are there any clients that support HDR on Linux yet?

Edit: looks like delfin wraps mpv, very cool!

dude just multiplied Russia’s WW2 casualties number by 10x lol

60M?

Highest figures for Russia+ukraine+others combined is 27M!

ok, and?

They also have Liberapay, OpenCollective and Patreon:

Pure population is not the only factor that determines Russia’s and Ukraine’s success in the war. There are other factors such as economic output, public support, equipment, ammunition, military personnel, international influence, etc.

Right now the personnel limits for Ukraine and Russia aren’t necessarily about each sides’ male population, but over side affects that recruiting soldiers has. Ukraine is reluctant to recruit younger soldiers due to the effect it would have on the country’s future demographics. Russia is reluctant to recruit more soldiers due to the effect that would have on the country’s economy and by extension, war support. In Russia’s case, that led to paying North Korea for mercenaries instead of recruiting more soldiers.

Here are relevant videos on the topic that I recommend:

As it stands right now, the most visible breaking points for each side’s war efforts are possibly the exhaustion of one of these: Ukrainian ammunition, Russian MBTs, and Russian economy.

There are other factors ongoing right now though that also make it less likely for each side to give up if a breaking point is reached, such as Ukraine’s lack of security guarantees, and the Russian economic fallout of ending the wartime economy.

All of these factors could definitely change though if the international climate changes, e.g. the EU gets more political support for the defense of Ukraine, or sanctions are lifted on Russia.

yes, I run my matrix server 24/7. I’m not really the expert on this, but I believe the way federation works on matrix is that downtime means that users on that instance will not be able to see/write messages, but users on other messages will still be able to write messages, which will later be picked up by the crashed instance when it comes back up. Not sure how it affects rooms.

Right, and wouldn’t the rings be pretty fragile considering how long they are? So it would probably have similar bioactivity as like olive oil.

Not really. I mostly used Element, but I also tried fractal which seemed decent.

The tough thing is that the supported features are changing rapidly, so what might be a good client one year might be out of date the next year. I also had a lot of issues with Element randomly logging me out on my self-hosted server :/

They “can” win, but a war of attrition is always difficult for all parties, and is not guaranteed.
