  • Steam data reveals PC gamers shifting from Windows to Linux

    Jump

  • This is exactly how it's going for me. I've been simply too lazy to move everything, test it all, and probably do it all over a couple times to find the distro I actually like.

  • My experience with Discord on Linux

    Jump

  • That would be from the 8 redesigns they've done in the past year or so. Not going to praise the dumpster fire, but intuitiveness has not been an issue for most of discords common uses. If you were incessantly messing with settings of a server though, that'd track.

  • Defense stocks drop after Trump says Pentagon spending could be halved

    Jump

  • Damn I'm blind huh. Thank you for the correction.

  • What do you mean we? We literally cannot cede to a foreign power without a unanimous vote, which will never happen. You desperately need to read our charter of rights and freedoms, if you actually are Canadian.

    E: see below for where it actually came from, I'm a wee bit daft.

  • Black Ops 6 hides better audio behind an additional purchase for some reason

    Jump

  • It is a real thing. Very few people have identical ears on both sides of their head, and almost no one shares the same shape with another person. There's a few active implementations of this on truly wireless earbuds, but the latency makes it irrelevant for most things except music. Depending on just how unique the ear shape is, it can drastically change how things sound.

    In no capacity should it be a paid feature in a game, though. In a more competitive game with a lot of value placed on audio like Escape From Tarkov, this would completely change the game and how it is played.

    TLDR: Your ears are unique, and your brain spends your entire life from the moment your ears are hearing things, tuning to them.

  • Huge Half-Life discovery found from a decades-old CD sitting in a storage unit

    Jump

  • That is certainly true, I guess I needed to specifically call out that he actually does reply. And this has been a constant recurring "rediscovery" every few years that GabeN personally responds to that email.

    That also wasn't the particular point I was even talking about. The point was that a previous dev would most likely still have connections inside Valve given how easy it is for outsiders. And that even if they had zero connections, again, it would be super easy to get a response.

    This is all just speculation, but a relatively confident one.

  • Honestly, knowing how easy it is for just about anyone to contact GabeN (his email is publically accessible) and that this was a previous tester, I would say there's decent odds they're already contacted someone to make sure or already had permission to do so in some roundabout way. I have no way of knowing for sure, obviously, but it is super weird for this to pop up without the finder messaging anyone in Valve about it.

  • Trump co-defendant's attorney says client only conspired as fake elector for '26 minutes'

    Jump

  • Either, just to be safe.

  • Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes.

    Jump

  • Yes, locking up your wheels is bad. The same is true on a car. It is good that on small mechanical systems with feedback, it is easy to not lock up the tires.

    On top of that, many ebikes have regenerative breaking, which makes it easy to maintain a good speed.

  • Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes.

    Jump

  • I feel like you're missing that the brakes on current (decent/non-shit) bikes are quite satisfactory. And that cyclists normally dont ride at 28mph, unless going downhill. And that regardless of vehicle, it is up to the rider to be safe for the conditions.

  • Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes.

    Jump

  • The braking characteristics are not all that different from a normal bike to an ebike, provided they weren't deliberately ignored. Ebikes having a lower centre of gravity also helps this. If you want to whine about ebikes going 28m/h, you should also be complaining about 80% of the cyclists out there.

  • Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes.

    Jump

  • Most people that do longer rides would be fine with that. On downhill sections you can hit that easily enough, and there's wind too. It's definitely fast, but it's fine enough. It doesn't matter what you're driving or riding, you always drive to the conditions anyways.

  • Japan same-sex marriage ban ruled unconstitutional again by courts, remains the only G7 country not to recognize

    Jump

  • IIRC that's correct. Their paperwork is only strictly defining a man and woman, not just "two persons" or something like that.

  • Star Citizen Introducing a $48,000 Ship Bundle, but Only for Players Who Have Already Spent $10,000

    Jump

  • Genshin and league of legends are both free, how do you think people (collectively) spend millions on them year over year?

  • 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • I feel like that argument could be made for some things, but inherently cannot apply to companies involved in personal, genetic, or financial information.

  • Quantum Computing’s Hard, Cold Reality Check: Hype is everywhere, skeptics say, and practical applications are still far away

    Jump

  • That's actually what current quantum computers look like. The chips themselves are reasonably small, but the whole metal apparatus you see is there to keep it close to 0° kelvin, as the quantum bits kinda just "dissolve" if they're not in a superconducting state. Not super knowladgable in this area, but that's my layman's understanding.
