What uses of a smartphone do you think most people miss out on?
  • as im just getting my shit sorted

    Story of my life!

    who the fucks got the time!!!

    Don't know you of course, but have you ever considered reducing your expenditures and working hours? I had a friend who was quite stressed out and went down from 5 days to 4 then 3 and now has been on 4 for a long time. It also gives you space when you need to get something done at work =)

  • What's the worst invention of the 21st century?
  • The battery life is actually one of the downsides of accessing a lot of memory. A typical way to solve this is to do a depth draw first and then another one that actually samples textures. Textures and even meshes use a lot of bandwidth. But that won't work for all devices because many use their own special ways to solve this by using a screen grid with buckets and depth sorting the tris.

    A unique issue for vr is that you have to render for two eyes and at a high frequency. A typical mobile game might target 30 fps instead of the typical 60 when running on battery. On the contrary, if a vr game would run at 60 fps you'd get nauseated pretty easily. A low end device will run at 100, and in an overly simplified sense that means you're actually doing 200 fps because of the two eyes. Further, you have to consider the tracking cameras. I am not knowledgeable about those but it's safe to assume they need to send a lot of data around.

  • What will happen to all the USA TikTok creators once the ban on TikTok takes effect?
  • They'll live happily ever after in their TikTok houses.

  • What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?
  • One time I nearly cut a job due to being asked to make something gambling related, but when I worked on an addictive mobile game I simply didn't realize what I was doing. Honestly, I couldn't have known unless I had asked about their monetization strategy before they brought new people on to implement it. And at that point the game was as good as done. I remember walking through Barcelona and seeing all these kids on their phones in the park and not playing or having fun, it felt surreal. I bawled my eyes out and didn't return to the job. You know I genuinely just wanted to give people some fun in this world.

    The issue with mobile games is that nobody is prepared to pay even 5 euros for a game. So for mobile game developers it is business as usual to do it this way.

  • Microsoft CEO of AI: Online content is 'freeware' for models • The Register
  • Well, it's one thing to say an 'artificial agent' looks at someone's work on deviant art and learns from it. It's another to use that to make money, as I personally can't imagine many of the posters would have been on board with that.

  • Microsoft CEO of AI: Online content is 'freeware' for models • The Register
  • Yeah, but anything you create automatically has a copyright, so for example this comment is not in the public domain. Its use is limited to the context I am using it in; that is, I expect it to be copied for federation purposes, but I wouldn't say that AI is covered in this context, just genuine readership, moderation, and bots that are 'part of the community'.

    At least that's the EU stance afaik. Like if I saw this comment on a billboard somewhere I'd see that as a clear breach of copyright and even privacy.

  • Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines
  • That's cuz the Linux users are enjoying the summer

  • I tried to explain ADHD math to someone and they didn't understand at all
  • You can solve this one with redneck math. You simply flip the numbers in 7+6 upside down, which looks like 4+9, which is clearly 13.

  • Sharing is caring
  • Wow those are huge!

  • Whales
  • I'm curious how this reads if it would not be a joke.

  • What uses of a smartphone do you think most people miss out on?
  • Do you use a domain name? I put one up and just constantly get spammed from Panama by lamers

  • What uses of a smartphone do you think most people miss out on?
  • Do you use a pihole or sum or block unwanted requests too?

  • [How much does your meal cost] €3.75 meal at a Danish Engineering company
  • I like cooking at home, do you have any tips for me on how to get quality ingredients? The market is best for me so far and it's nice being able to ask questions to the merchants.

  • Sink hole in the middle of a soccer field in Alton IL. No one was on the field when it happened.
  • It just couldn't take being called a soccer field no more.

  • Bring it back to life again!
  • Is this a regular event? It's such short notice!

  • What if car alarms were replaced with personal alarms?

    I mean, whenever I hear an alarm I ignore it, because I just hear it so often. But what if instead we used these types of alarms for real emergencies? For example a personal alarm to protect yourself.

    As far as I'm concerned this is a free speech comment section. Just don't forget the people who might be reading this and the beelaw.

    Update: I'm doing great!

    Hey just an update, as I made a post Thursday a week ago that was quite heavy, and I felt it would be unfair to leave that hanging.

    I've finally gone on hrt and I feel amazing. In a terrible kind of way. Like still totally depressed, numb, concentration issues and the like but in a feeling fantastic kind of way.

    Last Monday I broke a vase. I left it like that until today. I tidied up, cleaned up, moved furniture, cried cuz of music, hung pictures on the wall which I wanted to do for years, apologized to a friend, unpacked more of my stuff. I rewarded myself by going out and getting a pizza. I clicked with everyone it was fantastic.

    While I was biking home I realized that I knew I wouldn't be tired. I wouldn't have to retreat into a dark corner with my phone, pushing away hours hoping for my stamina to return.

    Hormones work. I still can't believe it. I still can't believe I am a woman. I still can't believe that I can decide what I'll do tomorrow. I still can't believe that this is what life is like for most poeple. Ya'll doing a bunch of drugs 24 7 essentially. And this goes on for the rest of my life? Omg

    Edit: this song

    What projects are you working on? Anything goes.

    I'm making a necklace from silver wire and a decently sized green agate. It's for my lovely sister. There will be a tree from the silver wire going over the stone, it's a pattern you see around sometimes.

    What do you think is a good thing about young people these days?

    I think they're well informed and appreciate beauty. What do you think?

    Hope nobody minds the generalizing BTW!

    Friendly jokes be welcome. Consider adding /s as some people have difficulty with sarcasm.
