If you’re on Windows it’s hard to recommend anything else. Nvidia has DLSS supported in basically every game. For recent games there’s the new transformer DLSS. Add to that ray reconstruction, superior ray tracing, and a steady stream of new features. That’s the state of the art, and if you want it you gotta pay Nvidia. AMD is about 4 years behind Nvidia in terms of features. Intel is not much better. The people who really care about advancements in graphics and derive joy from that are all going to buy Nvidia because there’s no competition.

Do these people not ever talk to anyone in real life? How do you arrive at thinking all real humans are Marxists/Leninists?

So eine art Sozialismus, aber National. Deutschland zuerst, aber mit Sozialleistungen für echte Deutsche… Ah, uhm, es riecht ein bisschen… Kacke.

Die Alternativen zu Atomkraft sind nicht wind un PV, sondern Gas und Kohle.

Pretty much. Maybe someone at the 8bitdo HQ got an SD and discovered that the controllers all worked great?

Once everything has been optimized and runs smoothly, there are no surprises anymore, nothing interesting, you just do a routine that you’ve specialized in and have gotten bored at 10 years ago. Our quality of life is unparalleled. Our quality of work less so. It’s safe and all, but so so boring

I’m on team dentist here as well. Those things don’t geow back unless you’re 3. Get an electric toothbrush. They’re not that expensive, and don’t make brushing take any more time than otherwise.

If his shows aren’t entertaining why are so many people entertained by them? Makes no sense. People may have no taste, but that’s a different issue.

Xbox seems like it may be toast. It’s being rolled into Windows somehow, it seems. The odds are decent that it’s a face-saving exercise and the whole thing is being shut down slowly. Or Microsoft pulls something incredible out of the bag. The Xbox management has to be desperate at this point. We’ll see whether whatever Winbox thing comes out of it sticks to the wall or not.

Exactly this. Isn’t the point of the BBC world service to communicate/propagandise the British view of what’s happening in the world to other countries? Imagine Russia Today adding a paywall? It’s counter to the entire point! I think you may be on to something about this being a concession to Trump.

I applaud your optimism, and I think in theory you’re right. I just don’t think the odds are in the favor of anyone taking your advice.

Isn’t it possible to use flatpak? Then Steam would come with all its required 32 bit libraries in the flatpak.

Second this. It was really rough for a while, but now it’s mostly (mostly!) smooth. Still waiting for a mesa version with the Doom fixes, though, so don’t expect frequent driver updates. I think maybe the stable Pop release is better with this?

Is it democracy that has a problem, or is it humans? Take the housing crisis, for example. We want low rents without lotteries, except we also want beautiful cities without commieblocks or even high-rises, and the significant proportion of voters who own their own homes want home values to always increase. And god forbid property taxes forces a retired old person out of a home that’s far larger than what they need. There is just no solution that satisfies all constraints. So we muddle through, mumbling something about “damn foreigners” and “eat the rich”. If we all actually agreed the housing crisis is a problem we’re willing to make sacrifices to solve, then we’d solve it in an instant. But no. Only mimimi.

The left runs on vibes and the right doesn’t want to fix anything. That’s not the fault of political parties, but just how different kinds of people think and operate. I don’t have a solution, really. The best I can come up with is: If you don’t like the laws where you live, see if anywhere else has a system you like. If you find something, consider moving there. If you don’t find what you’re dreaming of anywhere in the world then it is probably not (politically?) possible and you’ll just have to cope.

The most extremist-proof voting system I know of is approval voting. Proportional representation is unfortunately not really great at preventing extremism.

The word “idiot” was originally conceived to mean someone apolitical. Its meaning drifted for a reason.

Did a driver just say it’s political correctness that this guy can’t high five? What does the driver think PC means?? You just know that’s an annoying as hell person

The tusks know where they are because they know where they are not

It’s not an emergency if it can wait 15 minutes. So the line just doesn’t work for its intended purpose. That’s extraordinary failure.
