  • Yea I travel a bit, and I like talking about how they travel to gleen what kind of person they are. Like big cities? Do they take transit? What kind of activities? Lodging? Adventurous with food? Planned /spontaneous?

    But at the same time, I typically move on to non-travel based chat pretty quickly. So I agree with the spirit of the comic.

  • Nearly half of US kids want in-game currency this Christmas

    Jump

  • I would say the vast majority of micro transactions are cosmetic or time unlocking. Not adding much novelty.

    Also the context of this post is about gifting kids on Christmas, so no, not necessarily "up to you". I guess there's an argument to just give kids whatever they want, but I don't think think that leads to the best development outcomes. You can't force kids to do anything either, but there does exist a middle ground.

  • Not sure why novelty is in quotes, it's a quantifiable measurement based on differences. Anyway, novelty has shown to have a wide range of mental benefits. This is a pretty good overview, and if you want to dig into specific papers they're listed as well.

    Even if you want to ignore any potential benefits of novelty, generally when you have a new experience for the first time, you will have more fun that you typically do. The downside is some new experiences may not be fun, but that's very low risk in the context of gaming.

  • I think it's a little different. With new games comes novelty. Sticking with a single game and just buying cosmetics doesn't provide nearly as much novelty.

    I don't think this is a children only issue either. Its a trap adults fall into as well.

  • The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal

  • It's way more likely they have an informant in the chat or the phone itself is compromised. End to end encryption doesn't protect the "end"s.

  • Valve engineer says Steam Machine performance beats 70% of PCs, and can play all games

  • What? 32bit has nothing to do with how many threads it can use. Just how much memory it can address.

  • Linus Torvalds is OK with vibe coding as long as it's not used for anything that matters

  • But sounds like there is still a bug, KDE settings shouldn't segfault with malformed reports/descriptors. Might want to write a bug report or do PR yourself.

  • Don't expect a Steam Deck 2 until silicon breakthroughs arrive, says Valve

    Jump

  • It sounds like they are exactly trying to hit their old price point by waiting for chips to improve enough. So they can get a big performance boost for similar cost.

  • Found in the "mental health room" of my university library, thought it was a joke at first

  • As a counterpoint, your salary is mainly a reflection on how much profit can be made by your skillset/location at a given point in time. I'm not a fan of tying people's worth to their profitability. It's devoid of any type of ethical concern.

    If we as a society tie profitability to societal good, then I'll be on board.

  • New HDR10+ Advanced standard will try to fix the soap opera effect

  • I guess this is sort of good, letting media encode "Do not motion smooth" might make watching on friends/families TVs bearable now. I'll just keep my motion smoothing off.

  • Looking for DVD player recommentation

    Jump

  • I monitored mine for a few weeks, snagged a 4K player for $15. But they always had dvd and blu ray players in stock from $3 to $15. Also good place to get DVDs/blurays.

    (Prices will obviously vary from region/country but thrift stores seem to be ideal for old players)

  • It's more about cultural and socioeconomic bias. So you might have questions that have a bias towards middleclass suburban kids vs a poor innercity kid.

    You can find examples online, but some can be quite subtle. "Banana is to yellow as Ruby is to ______" Someone who grew up with jewelry would be more likely to know this. This goes against the principle of an IQ test, and older tests were notorious for this.
