Wow, you really like arguing, don’t you?

Sorry if i wasn’t very clear when I was kind of rapidly typing. To elaborate even by late October it’s still dark by like 7 And that’s with daylight savings time still in effect. If daylight savings time were still in effect in the winter, then by late December The sun wouldn’t be up until nine o’clock. That sucks

Seven in particular is a touchstone because that’s when a lot of people are up going to or getting ready for work and it’s when kids are often going to school and waiting for the bus.

Sure, there are places in more northern latitudes that have to deal with these compromises, but it’s a silly compromise to make when it’s artificially made.

Better to let end daylight savings one final time and leave it ended

It doesnt make any sense to keep DST permanent there’s no pluses.

a) It will be still dark at 7am for large chunks of the year this sucks. b)You get one final shitty spring forwards, but lose out of the pleasure of one last fall back.

Yeah. It ending is a nice little treat I dont mind because Im able to sleep in and I get to be like “oh wow it feels so much later but it’s only 5 we have so much time!” for a few days until I adjust, but losing an hour in the spring can go to hell.

We dont even get anything out of it. Towards the end of daylight savings in october it’s actually darker in the mornings when you wake up which sucks cause it switches off just in time for it to also get darker earlier due to winter. Whats the pro of springing forwards? The sun fully sets at 9 instead of 8 in the summer? Admittedly I do love long summer days, but if lets be real that tradeoff is minimal(and kinda annoying if you have young kids).

Theres like a 2 week period in spring where its like “oh neat the sun is still up” in the evening. The whole thing is dumb.

Young x and elder millennials overlap but I think thats more young millenials resembling genx than the other way around

Unfortunately decades of far right am talk radio pipeline adapted very well to gel with online platforms. Then they were able to cleverly take advantage of algorithms to "red pill " people. Younger generations are generally more liberal than their parents but far Right strategies have made a big dent in that.

Plenty of boomers who actually marched for civil rights out there, and plenty of young people stanning turning point usa and mourning charlie Kirk

While he was technically the second performer of the puppet the character was totally different and mostly a background character before him. So hes the original elmo as we know him

The flatpak should still work. Though I agree it’s a problem.

What a broad and needlessly harmful thing to get them to get off their butts and attempt to legislate. Its so frustrating how comically evil these guys are.

Its not specifically hard but its also not just as easy to use. I say this as someone whos been gaming on linux for over a decade now. You still run into issues here and there with proton(often a devs fault for bad code) and there is genuinely a lot more going on and tweakable on the steamdeck.

Steamdeck is a great device but Nintendo is good at making simple systems

It really was remarkable how hated this device was at the time and I say this as one of the kids online laughing and calling it the taco gauge and ridiculing it for the side talking which lets be real isnt that egregious(and actually in what is likely intentional design the shell around the screen when placed to ear looks a lot like a side profile of an old phone). I do sometimes think back to it and how in hindsight it was just a smartphone that played games.

It was a little too ahead of it’s time.

In many ways it was better. More organic and even the big names like google and amazon were more quirky upstarts rather than the evil megacorporations they are today.

That said lets not sugarcoat it too much. The early 2000s were edgelord central and message boards like 4chan and something awful were quite influential. Then you had gaming message boards like gamefaqs and the like. Woof so much bad trolling. Some of it funny and well done to the point of art but most just abrasive and annoying. The small message boards and communities were amazing though.

There are definitely a lot of little things in gimp that make it hard. The lack of a shapetool is one(yes yes it’s not a drawing app but a basic edition helps) and other things like adding text with a black outline or shadow. After literally decades they finally added in a way to make it easier to image macro text in. The old way involved several submenus and I know I couldnt figure it out on my own without a guide.

I know sometimes people come into an opensource ecosystem and complain that everything is worse because they arent used to it, but at the same time there are a lot of open source programs that are very rough around the edges and the developer cant see it because they know the program inside and out so of course it’s intuitive that this feature is burried in here and this feature way in there.

Of course some could, but if everyone is impacted then why would they eat the cost? Also they can add a few percentages and blame it on tarrif.

Like how the messaging from covid immediately shifted once the media started using the “i” word.

“We understand the blocked canal, shuttered factories, and overall stagnant supply chain is a problem but we will work together in this crisis”

“Sorry inflation. Record profits? No inflation”

I feel like the haters over exaggerate. Like they say that raytracing will never happen and shouldnt. Technology will eventually improve and methods get better. Saying never and getting upset that there is an option to toggle in a game that pushes graphics is wrong. Its silly to think otherwise.

That said I think a lot of the hesitancy and fear comes from the worry that we will be moving forwards too quickly. As it stands the hardware that isnt just adequate with upscaling but good at ray tracing is like $1000-$2000. AMD cards are at a handicap as well. I think the fear is that the industry dives in too fast and abandons the old lighting techniques leaving people with lower end hardware behind or with a low setting that looks way worse than the older methods of lighting.

I think the fear is unfounded though since consoles will always be the primary target and A) They use amd or nvidia’s mobile chip and B) they have to have a competitive price. As a result it will be a long while before we go all in on ray tracing.

I mean, it’s not wrong. I expect quite a lot of lewd and rude content as well.

Will be very neat to see the community reaction to this. To this day dooms open source engine is prolific. I imagine this will be amazing for fan and indie games

Yeah at it’s best reddit is an aggregate of content from around the web and a message board.

The only thing I can think of that this makes sense for is to keep the onlyfans people who promote on reddit(or got started on gonewild) to stay on reddit. I feel like reddit is probably not trying to get more in bed with providing porn so Im curious exactly what the application could be otherwise.

I could have sworn they did this already a while back.
