I wouldn't worry about it ,Jack
  • Its not that they think they'll be affected. Its that they believe the market is "fair", and therefore rich people must have "earned it", and taxes are an unfair punishment.

    Of course the reality is that the market is only ever fair when it approaches equilibrium, which is typically achieved through taxes...

  • What is an underrated/forgotten video game that you think deserved a second chance?
  • Retro/Grade is a rhythm/shooter mashup where you travel backwards through time and un-fire a bunch of lasers to un-kill a bunch of ships. It was designed for a guitar hero controller if I recall? I found the visuals nauseating and the music lackluster but that premise is gold and deserves another chance.

    Also PLEASE play the music backwards??? It's a game about going back in time, c'monnnnn.

  • How do you like to tell people about the fediverse?
  • I dont. Its honestly not great. I'd rather that effort went to preserving and repairing the existing tools of the free and open web -- the old protocols are extensible. Imagine if we had an RSS client with a "reblog" feature!

    "Federation" adds overhead and honestly creates as many problems as it solves. It's not a selling point, its a price tag.

  • What field do you work in, and how many digits of pi do you use?

    This article says that NASA uses 15 digits after the decimal point, which I'm counting as 16 in total, since that's how we count significant digits in scientific notation. If you round pi to 3, that's one significant digit, and if you round it to 1, that's zero digits.

    I know that 22/7 is an extremely good approximation for pi, since it's written with 3 digits, but is accurate to almost 4 digits. Another good one is √10, which is accurate to a little over 2 digits.

    I've heard that 'field engineers' used to use these approximations to save time when doing math by hand. But what field, exactly? Can anyone give examples of fields that use fewer than 16 digits? In the spirit of something like xkcd: Purity, could you rank different sciences by how many digits of pi they require?

    Steam input gyro aiming feels great

    Following this tutorial, I tried gyro aiming on my Dualsense controller, which has analog triggers and gyroscopic motion controls. I set gyro to act as mouse, activated by a right trigger soft pull. If you use Steam with a controller I highly recommend this; it gives you almost as much control as a mouse and keyboard! Along with a few other custom rebinds, this gives me a console-ish experience on Minecraft Java :)

    People who got a Dualsense Edge for Steam Deck, how would you rate it?

    It's been long enough that I'm sure someone besides me has shelled out the $200 for a DS5+, since it's a bluetooth controller with a touchpad and grip paddle buttons. Is it worth it?

    Edit: To clarify, I own a Dualsense, but I'm lusting after the Dualsense Edge revision.

    Fitness / Exercise games for PC / Steam Deck?

    I have a steam deck dock in the living room, with a dualsense and some joy-cons paired to it. Are there any games similar to Ring Fit that work well on PC/Steam? Do I need a new controller or can I use these?
