I mean, small things like that add up, you want your stack as optimized as possible

A quarter of a second here, another quarter there, and suddenly it might take 2 seconds longer for a connection to form, which matters a ton. A lot of work in the modern web is going into reducing latency

Browser zero days are some of the most valuable exploits in existence, so I highly doubt it would happen in practice

Why would it never be easy? There’s no fundamental reason for why it can’t work as well as on windows, or any other operating system

Ok but this is very simple. Everyone can set up something like this using home assistant and a few sensors connected up to it

Maybe you just don’t like MOBAs, to me it’s one of the most promising upcoming pvp games, but I am someone who likes MOBAs and shooters

Maybe the Dems will finally learn that listening to their base helps

I’ve had bitcoin transactions that literally took several days to process. This was also using an average fee. The more people using bitcoin, especially to handle common every-day transactions, the worse this problem would get.

Fusion is likely the end-game power gen tech for humanity, assuming no new physics (and excluding Dyson structures). For the long term, it likely will be the most useful way of generating mass amounts of electricity you can get, and access to more energy enables more possibilities of all sorts of things, enabling even things that are extremely impractical today due to their energy needs

For example, carbon capture becomes a possibility, and stuff like mass desalination. And then you could, in theory, go even more extreme with stuff like terraforming mars at human timescales, with enough energy. Of course this depends how practical and efficient fusion reactors actually would be, but with enough energy you can do so so much

Even if it was just a “small thing”, how many “small things” that are all individually excusable has Microsoft added now? When would it be too much?

I guess because the Gen Z comp sci students are the people who are truly fluent in computers. We were immersed in the internet and digital technology from a young age, but also had the curiosity to go beneath the surface of them, and get a real understanding of how things work. Most people just use the technology superficially, even if they have grown up with the internet and computers.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup are two examples off the top of my head. Traditional roguelikes are often open source.

Yee, you’re mot going to be hurt by open sourcing your game 5 or 10 years later. By that time practically nobody will buy your game anymore. And of the ones who still will,.they likely aren’t the ones that would even bother with looking for alternatives other than a big sale on a store page

But then, open sourcing adds to human culture, it lets others modify the game, or use it as a foundation for something new. And those things will credit you, and you will still get some extra benefit/good pr.

It’s just a good thing to do, imo.

HDR is actually pretty cool, at least when you got a proper HDR display such as an OLED screen

Yeah, Mozilla is doing good work, and AI is here to stay. It’s all about making and using AI ethically.

Except you feel this even if you’re in your 20s. It’s not exactly an old thing lol

Hell, even over the last 3 years it’s super obvious

I’ve had more windows updates breaking stuff than I had arch updates breaking stuff, that’s for sure. I think it’s frankly laughable that a paid OS has problems such as that.

Yeah I’ve been playing helldivers on Linux too, no issues really.

Why would you be surprised? And why would 15$ for a book be too much?

Well, that’s the thing, it’s the core part of their entire business. The glue that sticks everything together. Or at least used to be until Azure.

To me it’s absurd how Microsoft gets beaten by a free desktop environment when windows is like their main product. They have billions of dollars. How do they manage to not do better?
