  • Riot Games talk Vanguard anti-cheat for League of Legends and why it's a no for Linux

  • I mean I'm not really picking to not play anymore because I don't want to. They said they were going to turn it on like two months ago and I believed them. I wasn't about to risk my account on the odd chance my crapple device is good enough to play it.

  • Riot Games talk Vanguard anti-cheat for League of Legends and why it's a no for Linux

  • Vanguard was announced and was supposed to be added to League imminently a while ago. I stopped playing months ago as a result. I can hardly imagine that I am the only one, so the number seems cherry picked for convenience.

    I'd like to know what the average daily player count on Linux was prior to 2024, I suspect it's higher than 800.

    That said, I get the trade-off. I won't support that trade-off though because I will never agree with an anticheat implemented like Vanguard is.

  • Overcomplicating things

  • In Spanish KnY is "Guardianes de la Noche" (Guardians of the Night) and I've never heard a single person say that it was good. Most people I know just call it Kimetsu.

    I also personally use SnK, AoT means "ahead of time" for me. For so long I was confused when people expected me to know AoT as Attack on Titan.

    That said it really depends on the title. Some titles suck in other languages, some don't. I mostly pick which to use on length, how stupid the translation sounds, and if the translation is confusing for me.

  • What's the dumbest thing you thought as an adult that you recently learned was wrong?

  • You can see other people in a reflection without them being able to see you.

    It is not possible to see someone else's eyes (except from the side, so it's only seeing their eyes in profile) in a reflection without them being able to see you too.

    It's literally not possible via reflection, as everything is equal and opposite. If light can go from their eyes to yours, it's also possible to go the opposite direction.

    This is what everyone has been saying but instead of thinking through everything clearly, you resorted to bullying.

    The only way to accomplish this one-way vision is by adding something that is not reflection to the system (like a one-way window), but that's breaking the premise under which everyone else has been commenting in good faith.

  • What's the dumbest thing you thought as an adult that you recently learned was wrong?

  • The reflection is only bidirectional if you can see the other person's eyes.

    It's like if someone is in a bathroom stall. You could see the stall is occupied by seeing their feet stick below the wall of the stall, but they cannot necessarily see any part of you since their eyes are not where their feet are.

    Same principle applies to reflections, where maybe the body part that you can see is just the top of the head, and since the person isn't tall enough they can't see that you can see them.

  • Ubisoft CEO defends Skull and Bones’ $70 price despite its live service leanings, calls it ‘quadruple-A’

  • It sounds about as out of touch as their neurons.

    Sucks that the idiots forcing these stupid ideas get buckets of money though.

  • More than enough for us

  • No bedframe, no nightstand, only one monitor and it's tiny as hell

    This looks like a prison, get me out

  • Scientists Develop New Dirt-Powered Fuel Cell That Runs Forever

  • I missed that part in the article, I should have just searched for the word flood, woops

  • Scientists Develop New Dirt-Powered Fuel Cell That Runs Forever

  • So if the tip is sticking out for airflow, how does it handle a flash flood?

  • Judge Threatens to Put Trump Lawyer Alina Habba 'in the Lockup' at E. Jean Carroll Trial

  • That checks out. Exactly what I'd expect from a devout Christian.

  • online multiplayer in pirated games?

  • Spacewar is the app ID for testing Steamworks integration without having an app ID yet.

  • You should be able to ask "I want a CIS mate" in a dating app without being shamed.

  • Not providing this anecdote as a rebuttal, just as food for thought since I've barely seen anyone mention this.

    I have put a lot of thought into my sexuality/identity, but regardless of all of those thoughts my articulation will boil down to:

    I want bio kids, until we can modify the genetic material of eggs/sperm so that two people of the same biological gender can have a biological child, my only option is someone with the opposite reproductive organs.

    It doesn't matter how much I am attracted to someone, I won't roll loaded dice on having kids. If my partner and I discovered when we finally try to have kids that one or both of us is sterile, then so be it — but I'd like the dice we roll to not have a known outcome ahead of time.

  • You should be able to ask "I want a CIS mate" in a dating app without being shamed.

  • Not looking for a partner anymore anyway, but the first one is my only reason. If we got to a point medically/scientifically where bio kids were possible then that sole reason would go away.

    I'm fine ending up with no kids because I and/or my partner are infertile and we don't know yet, but I'm not fine starting a relationship wanting something that the other person knows I can't have with them and not telling me until later.

    Honestly I think it would be helpful if the dating apps just had some hidden questions like "are you interested in having kids?" and if yes also asked "do you want biological kids?" and if you answer them your potential matches are automatically filtered down. I have two rationales for this, 1. because it frees up space in bio and keeps your preferences semi-private, and 2. it avoids potentially awkward conversations or other potentially awkward public judgemental. (I'm guessing there aren't already questions like this.)

  • We hit one third of boomers being dead in the last few days.

  • Why is a Canadian actor and citizen in one of the photos for a US countdown...?

    (Yes I'm referring to Keanu.)

  • Two moods

  • Google still controls the source, and so they have influence over the rest.

    It's like Ungoogled Chromium. Sure, it's open source. Sure, if might have Google crap removed. Google still calls the shots on the direction of the browser.

    Same still meaningfully applies to Chromium-based browsers.

  • Linux 6.8 Network Optimizations Can Boost TCP Performance For Many Concurrent Connections By ~40%

  • Unless it's a Java Minecraft server which I believe exclusively uses TCP still.

  • Retiring House Republican says $174,000 isn't enough money for members of Congress: 'Most of us don't have wealth'

  • Not that I'm (seriously) advocating for them to go into a dorm, but these people decide their salaries.

    If they were doing their job properly they would have raised it, or better yet they would have established a higher-end apartment-dorm type solution that is paid for by the state and so their paychecks are not used to cover their living expenses in DC (not college freshman standards, more like two bedroom apartments unless they want to pony up part of their paycheck, one for a bed and one for an office).

    They're not actually doing either of these things though, so I hardly feel bad.

  • Jan 6th

  • Well the people who were responsible for calling it in were the people who publicly invited the riot. Would be counterintuitive for Trump & Cronies to put down his own rebellion.

  • Republican secretary of state threatens to kick Biden off the ballot as Trump payback

  • They're not actually advocating for mob rule, mob rule is only acceptable if it's the mob rule that accomplishes what they want.
