I think the movie was intentionally a bit "Forrest Gump"-esque, we're not meant to focus on the Nazis, the Nazi sympathizers, or the treasonous business owners. We're supposed to focus on the human bond, the relationship between the main characters, and how it all comes together at the last minute to resolve the plot (and the Plot).

I'm of a mixed opinion regarding the marketing, on the one hand the plot they uncover is a fundamental aspect of the story and would have definitely drawn more attention, but on the other hand drawing attention to the Plot in the wrong way was exactly what they wanted to avoid, do they leave the Business Plot out of the marketing or do they give in and weaken the whole message of the movie?

These events were the basis for the movie Amsterdam, which I enjoyed quite a lot although admittedly it has mixed reviews

To me this just illustrates that using tests meant for humans to test AIs produces questionable results.

Of course an AI is going to be able to produce a larger number of original ideas, it's designed to have much more data at its disposal than humans and be much better at using it, and correspondingly with access to more data it can produce more unique combinations from that data.

If anything, the fact that it's simply near the top of the pack rather than massively outstripping human minds, which are essentially hunks of wet meat with a slight electrical charge, demonstrates how far this technology has yet to go.

Sounds to me like there's now a legal precedent for me to leave people on read.

Interestingly I had never seen this phrase until a few days ago, on another similar thread, and now it seem like everyone is saying it.

Baader-Lemmyhof?

Maybe this says a little too much about me, but I love the personification and romanticism of Firefly's Serenity. She's a bucket of bolts, but she's home.

Yeah, fair enough, I'm not too arrogant to admit there are exceptions to every rule.

And more power to artists and exotic chefs and others, who are able to get sociopath billionaires to fork out crazy amounts of money for their work.

I don't mean doctor-making-150k-a-year rich, I mean properly rich with millions to billions of dollars.

I firmly believe there are no ways to become "properly" rich that don't require you to be a bad person.

To get out of that "doctor-making-150k-a-year" category you need some combination of greed, exploitative practices, manipulating broken capitalist systems, nepotism, ruthlessness, corruption, bribery, and outright lying.

Gives real "A QA walks in to a bar and order -26 beers" vibe

Okay, this helped a lot. Got D4 working (noticeably lower graphic quality, but completely smooth fps and very playable), and also massively reduced the stuttering for OW2.

For any future readers, I definitely recommend Bottles over Lutris or standard Wine for Battle.net and related games.

Thank you very much for the suggestion!

Thanks for this, will give it a try!

Nope, not Nvidia, AMD Radeon RX 6700XT

This isn't even greed or anything, it's just sloppy incompetence and/or obscenely rushed development.

Intelligent retries and exponential backoffs are really common things taught to programmers, whoever didn't add this needs to have a really good reason or a really good resume...

Yeah, I think it may be a shader compilation issue for OW2 but I saw reports of people not suffering this or being able to fix it so I hoped there had been progress.

I did try downgrading VKD3D, as I mentioned in my post, but this didn't help with D4.

I don't know why you're taking that tone with me, I didn't bitch or lament about anything nor make any statements about my "ideology".

All I did was point out "one seat wasn't going to make a difference" is faulty logic.

How do you know?

For all we know that one person could have convinced another to vote in favour of debt relief. Or perhaps when it became clear the vote was standing 5-4 it would make one of those five decide it's not clear enough and switch their vote because there wasn't a strong enough majority to block the executive branch.

Or perhaps if it was blocked at 5-4 it would give more options for result to be challenged or appealed.

Lots of things might be different if politicians who say they are for the people actually act in the best interests of the people, even if that means they retire.

Between normal people, or even minor celebrities, I would absolutely agree. But Farage is a notable entity in politics and journalism, one would hope that being accused of corruption, bribery, and treason would be ruinous for such a career. That is absolutely the sort of thing you would sue over, if you believed you had a good chance at winning.

Ubuntu is pretty solid, but there are definitely still issues. Things like screen sharing on Discord etc cannot also share your sound, and it's still difficult (some cases impossible) to manage lighting and macro keys on gaming keyboards.

It's not big issues, just a series of small pains that you have to deal with repeatedly.

Honestly I'm not very bothered. I struggle to see this as false advertising when they're declaring on public forums that physical copies will not include a disc, and it's quite likely that those physical copies will also state on them that it includes a code and not a disc.

Given our increasing environmental concerns the idea that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of discs are not going to be produced for this is a good thing, I think. I imagine the only reason a physical version exists at all is to ensure the game has a presence in physical stores, so large advertisements can catch people's eye, so stores can do related promotions. In essence, all those empty boxes will be produced purely for advertising purposes, otherwise I imagine they would scrap physical copies all together to save the related production, transportation, and logistics costs.

I think there are two reasons:

1. Tumblr isn't nearly as popular as it was 8 or 10 years ago
2. Tumblr isn't, generally speaking, a well known site for the kinds of tech focused people that would be building such applications. Tumblr has a focus more towards sharing images (even to the extent of screenshotting twitter posts rather than linking the post itself), and generally speaking (again) more tech focused people tend to prefer sites with more generic content, such as lemmy/kbin/reddit where you can have images, links, and text discussions.
