It’s just that it’s incredibly wasteful/polluting.

Which actually makes it illegal in some countries, too

It can pull weight at 4k, but I’m not sure if that is justification to slam it for not having the memory for 4k.

There are many games that cut it awfully close with 12GB at 1440p, for some it’s actually not enough. And when Nvidia pushes Raytracing as hard as they do, not giving us the little extra memory we need for that is just a dick move.

Whatever this card costs, 12GB of vram is simply not appropriate.

I’d gladly save some gas by letting them push me

Asking as someone who doesn’t know anything about any of this:

Does more B mean better?

miss_brainfart , 4 months ago

Well that takes the cake as being the weirdest gender euphoria I’ve experienced so far

I mean, landmarks don’t make much sense to use on a 2D, birds eye view map

I’m starting to wonder, what will YouTube do once it stops being remotely sustainable to run?

Is more efficient video compression being developed faster than people are uploading content?

Like, at some point, they might just run out of space and will have to purge millions of videos.

Gotta say, birds that notice you and get all judgy are my favourite

They could just align the text bottom right, where there’s less gun poking into the area

Ubisofts wet dream, yes

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

I remember seeing your original post.

Now, how about one step further:
How in heavens can you make Thunar show embedded thumbnails instead of auto-generated ones?

Unless it’s something dangerous and you don’t know what you’re doing. Don’t want to get a garage door spring to the face

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Insane how much energy that is

And this is why I like Androids feature that automatically revokes permissions after a certain timeframe of not using an app

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

I am actually using a degoogled phone, and the only thing I’m missing are push notifications, for one single app. Everything else I use works just fine for me, but as always, ymmv

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Yeah, the default lineage cam today can’t do a whole lot either

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

I’m using DivestOS on a OnePlus 5T, runs like a charm.

But Divest is in dire need of funding right now, and might not be able to continue development, so that’s something to keep in mind, sadly

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

GrapheneOS seems to be the all out best, from what I can tell. It’s just that their strict requirements needed to achieve this level of privacy and especially security severly limit the selection of devices you can use, which is a bummer.

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

With all that’s going on to systematically profile each and every person that ever went online, goes online, and will go online, that sounds 100% plausible and realistic to me.

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

I’ve had the same Casio watch for 16 years now, just had to change the battery once. Sturdy and precise.

Well, almost. A while ago it set itself to be three hours off, and I can’t figure out how to get it back to my timezone. I follow the steps in the manual to have it re-set itself, but it’s still three hours off.

I don’t understand where it gets that time from

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Yeah, I probably should

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Honestly, I actually respect the meme. What was there first, a fridge? Now a toaster? Maybe a microwave next?

It’s so stupid that it’s kinda funny to me

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

There’s this, and there’s just trolling, like giving most innovative gameplay to Starfield. The internet’s gonna internet, what can you do.

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Not just guys, let me tell you

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

I’m inclined to say that many people who need this would have to learn how to build habits in the first place

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Does that mean we can make moon photos that are even further from reality now?

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

So basically, Hitman in the world of Oglaf?

That would be pretty fun, actually

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Oh god, I just realized… Imagine if they brought Portal back, but in VR like they did Half-Life.

We’d get so many videos of people falling over in their living room

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago)

I really don’t get the use of super high resolutions on tiny sensors like that.

Sure, you can have a crazy zoom (aka crop) while still retaining good enough resolution, but at this point?
All the detriments that minuscule, high-res sensors bring about won’t just disappear.

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

It is, and I hate it so much. Like, even a full frame sensor would need some proper ISO magic at 200MP

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

pixel binning as a ‘solution’ to a problem which needn’t even exist in the first place.

Well, I fully agree with this article. There is one other good use of binning/supersampling though, and that is better chroma resolution relative to luma.

But even that won’t do much, with all the other shortcomings already present.

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

If it were an actual zoom, at least. I was absolutely delighted when I first learned that some phones do in fact have lenses with a variable focal lenght.

Having that 2x zoom through actual optics instead of it being a cropped image is fantastic, gotta say. I really want my next phone to have that, so that zooming is actually useful.

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Federation had a hiccup there, I’m only seeing your reply now

Supersampling is definitely something interesting, but up to what point? On a sensor this small, even something like 48 sampled to 12 already suffers to a degree where I would stop calling it useful.

Don’t get me wrong here, I can see the use first hand on my own phone. My second lens for night mode does 20MP to 5, and while the image is brighter than the main lens, it’s just as grainy, and a much lower output resolution too.

Now granted, my phone is a few years old now, and modern devices surely have better sensors, but no amount of trickery will make up for those physical limitations.

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

never really bothered with the spinoffs, as the model of Arch makes them useless and more problematic to deal with

I highly enjoy using EndeavourOS. But then again, I wouldn’t classify it as a spinoff, it’s pretty much vanilla Arch, but purple.

Now Manjaro on the other hand… Tried it and understood why so many people don’t like it within the first week.

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Well damn, federation took its sweet time to show me your reply

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

I sure do

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Whatever it is, the launcher is just bad in general. May I reccommend Heroic Games Launcher instead? You log in, get authenticated, and then it can download the games directly from the source, without ever having to run this god awful launcher.

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

I think it’s funny how people create accounts only to never actually spend any money on this platform

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

But the prices being so low is exactly what makes people care less about things like privacy, so not great either

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Combatting symptoms is nice and all, but ideally you’d want to remove the reason these symptoms exist in the first place.

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

And if even Meta agrees to do it, there’s no excuse left, is there

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

On that note, I wish Firefox had a setting to always load sites in reader mode, when available. Ideally with the ability to set exceptions, though.

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

You can have it if you want to, I don’t really need it

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Say what you want, but a fever knocking you out and having you dream weird stuff is the best part about being sick

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Really? You’re missing out.

They’re not called fever dreams for nothing.

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

I didn’t know that, this is super cool!

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Guess the fines need to climb exponetially, then

miss_brainfart , 5 months ago

Idk about saying yes, the recording could be used to stitch together a verbal agreement to a contract.

Obviously not legally binding (at least I hope that it isn’t in most countries), but still a major hassle to deal with.

I like to be vague, use words like possibly or perhaps, and see how long it takes until they realize I’m just fucking with them.
