… Am I the only one who doesn’t have a problem calling it “peasant class”? It’s the kind of slang I’d use and I always fly economy.

I also had a colleague in the UK casually talking in the break room if she should buy a house or a horse because they were comparatively expensive.

Whoops 😅

I agree this is probably overall a good thing, but I worry if this bacteria thrives due to the amount of plastic around what that would mean for the amount of CO2 produced.

For that chrome book like experience, the genuinely think Chrome OS flex is probably a better option for most people (privacy concerns not withstanding).

It’s not a joke.

People blame Google for the death of jabber because of one blog post from a disgruntled contributor but the truth is jabber was never popular and Google chat died as well.

Jabber was a mess, most of the clients were barely compatible with Each other and it was a wild west of feature support. Some clients were well featured with the ability to send richer messages, but typically only worked with a specific server and the same clients. Jabber did a crap job at making sure clients and servers interacted properly with each other and didn’t push the standards quickly enough, forcing clients to do their own thing.

Which is all Google did, they went their own way because nobody used jabber and the interoperability was causing more harm than good. It didn’t work, Google talk died and many years later clients like WhatsApp took over instead.

I’m on the side of “automate it all and stop whining”, but I do think it’s important not to so readily dismiss the thoughts and opinions of those this directly affects in favour of the opinions of the security researchers pushing the change.

There are some legitimate issues with certain systems that aren’t easily automated today. The issue is with those systems needing to be modernised, but there isn’t a big push for that.

I have 4 cats. Most of the time they look after themselves. Every now and then the floof gets poo stuck in his fur or the fat one comes home covered in some weird oil or something and they need bathing, but it’s maybe once or twice a year.

TL;DW the stuttering is also present on console and doesn’t appear to be shader compilation.

Cat.

Both. Responding with kindness.

I feel like games have gotten less realistic in recent years. Like we had destructible terrain on the PS2 with red faction and games today still don’t really do it.

Wil Wheaton is a stand up bloke.

Many years ago I emailed him a horrible email calling him all kinds of names and he replied, in a nice but also boing flip kind of way that really put me in my place. I was a dumb kid at the time, he either figured that out or was just pure class.

I apologised to him on Reddit a few years ago and he replied saying it was all cool. Wish more people in the world were like that.

Nah this isn’t usual Nintendo bullshit, this guy was installing pirated games as part of his mods - he’s brought this on himself.

Yeah, really want musk to buy it…

I love my partners and my son, but I hate most other humans.

The switch to unreal has been removed/leaked for a while, I guess it’s just to put the rumours to bed and set some expectations going forward (mostly that infinite is on life support, if you haven’t already figured that out).
