Well, I think we’d have to give some of the Eastern seaboard to the UK. But some goes to France, some to Spain. And tbh a lot could be reallocated back to American Indian groups and councils. Oh, and a bunch would go back to Mexico, too.
I don’t know you, but boy I’ve felt that. Not as intensely or as long, for sure, but the helplessness and inner desire for… meaning? Adventure? But being stuck instead. Yeah that sucks.
If you ever want to just chat or whatever, feel free to hit me up with a dm. I may not be able to make the world at large better, but I can at least offer an ear.
That is about as clear cut an example of political censorship as there could possibly be.
Fascists will still count him if his knee doesn’t bend enough.
So, kinda. “Steam Machines” was the old initiative from 2013(?). The idea was to build a coalition of 3rd party machines with a branding and hardware guidelines for Asus, Acer, etc to build a ton of console-likes. Basically trying to replicate the PC market of diverse hardware from a bunch of OEMs to create a new market segment in the console space.
The difference here is that Valve is allegedly building a console themselves, fully 1st party with their own hardware and software, like they did with the Steam Deck. I imagine if this one has enough market traction (as determined by Valve), they’ll iterate on the software hard for a couple of years (and possibly the controller, too), then expand with guidelines for OEMs to make their own versions of the console using SteamOS. Basically, just follow the Steam Deck playbook and hope it works like last time.
I think the care for being not identified and covering one’s tracks provided in the above comment is a pretty obvious indicator for why their comment history is scrubbed lol.
That is a much more succinct way of putting it without any real loss of accuracy.
I’m no expert on the topic, but Nature is an exception rather than the rule, given its history and prestige.
Academic journals were around well before the Internet. Real capital investment was required to review applications, provide editing advice, typesetting, printing, and distribution. All of those are still things, now with additional online publishing, which also has its own technology costs.
What’s wild and out of whack, of course, is that peer reviewers generally aren’t paid, submitters pay to get published, and readers also pay for access. Other than the relatively minimal office staff to keep things running, there’s very little overhead. So why is it so damn expensive?
I think the answer is that they can get away with it. You can publish in an open source journal for free, of course, but there may or may not be quality control. Plus, it’s an attention economy. If you publish in Science or Nature, you’re almost certainly getting prestige that can turbo boost your career because that many people will see and likely cite your work.
And on and on it goes. I think we would pretty strong regulations to stop this system.
Yeah same, but I only have a 1440p monitor, and I can barely tell the difference after 90hz, anyhow.
I’m still rocking a 2070 and doing great. Turns out the games that I like rarely depend on graphical fidelity, but rather on good visual design and game design.
But yeah if graphical fidelity is your bag, or if you need every possible frame for competitive reasons, then your options are much more limited and far more expensive. Sucks.
My 2070 is still treating me pretty well!
About two or three months ago. It’s not for all content, but their more in depth stuff, How X did Y articles, and other writing that’s more analysis and opinion than reporting on facts usually goes behind the new paywall. Anything you’d care about for news or breaking stories is still free, which is about 75%+ of the content on the site.
The memo does say “this does not impact the federal holiday” (or close enough, I can’t see it while I’m writing this comment, lol).
But this is still the beginning of a slippery slope, or at least hints very strongly of it. It’s got that fascism stank.
If Harris had won, I think I’d want to hear Tim Walz’ opinion on everything. In his own words, live on a stream or something like that. I bet it would’ve been absolutely wild to hear this Midwestern dad give his takes on AI.
Edit: grammar mistakes
That is, unfortunately, what I think this means, too.
Okay that gave me a hearty chuckle, thank you.
Probably not in the sense that the average American uses the word “communist”, which is more about their remembered history of authoritarian regimes of the USSR and mid 20th century China and those sorts. Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, and the atrocities thereof.
Linux is communist insofar as it is open source, and therefore less affected or tied up in capitalistic practices. Capitalists still use and contribute to Linux, but often those contributions go back into the commons of the open source code.
You probably know all that, I’m just feeling long winded.
As a full ass adult who just very recently discovered I have ADHD, I feel both called out and seen.
YouTube may be a mental illness, but it’s my preferred mental illness.
Yeah, actually. But weirdly, it also makes me feel way less guilt. Like, the constant self put-downs about not being as “productive” as I should be. That all got way quieter on meds. Even if I’m still not doing what I “should” it feels like a controlled choice instead of inescapable guilt-inducing procrastination.
It’s weird. I’m new to both my diagnosis and the meds, so who knows.
