Max users grandfathered into $15.99 ad-free plan lose 4K, HDR next month
  • It costs inconsequentially more to host large files, sure, but the cost is usually on the consumer vis-à-vis their ISP to stream larger files.

    You are wording this like you are disagreeing, while still agreeing with what I said.

  • Xbox users call out Activision and Microsoft for "vomit inducing" full-screen Modern Warfare 3 ad
  • People still on Reddit want someone to take their complaints seriously? Empirically speaking, they will accept this.

    Nah, it's more than the communities on places like Reddit and lemmy/kbin are so small and unimportant relative to the overall consumer market that you can pretty much ignore them completely.

    Intel's New GPU Drivers Boost Performance Up To 750% in DX11, 53% in DX12
  • I wouldn't say it sucks, just that it's a more complex, lower-level API layer than DX11 and earlier. Which is good in that it allows for more control over game performance, but the big downside is that it's more difficult and easier to screw up.

  • Mint is shutting down, and it’s pushing users toward Credit Karma
  • Problem is when you procrastinate because manually importing transactions and correcting them is just annoying enough to make it a hassle. Then the transaction batch gets too large and you can't remember details anymore so you give up and don't track your budget at all.

    That's been my experience in the past at least.

  • Mint is shutting down, and it’s pushing users toward Credit Karma
  • It's more complicated than just a spreadsheet but not as complicated as regular programming. You will want to learn general accounting practices like double entry bookkeeping to really understand how to use it though.

  • Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper
  • You stated that they are different, that sex is something serious and concerning, and that worrying about violence is something boomers do.

    If you didn't mean it to come of that way then I'm not sure why you worded it that way.

  • Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper
  • OP stated that only porn games should have any sexual content in them because his kids play video games.

    She people aren't kids should see sexual content, but that's it's weird to be against any kind of sexual content but not be bothered by violence.

  • Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper
  • Not everyone is a coomer who wants to revolve their life around sexuality.

    You can acknowledge that sex exists without someone's life revolving around it. Just like "wanting sex to be private" may not mean that someone is just terrified of the topic itself or thinks all sex is gross and should be avoided.

    Just because people have different values than you doesn’t make it sad.

    Some values become more of a target for criticism than others. "No one should make content that I don't personally approve of" is one that I would categorize as worthy of criticism.

  • Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper
  • In this case, OP is stating that he thinks no company should be making games with any type of sexual content. Just in case his kids want to play that game.

    That goes beyond "monitoring what their kids play" and that's why people are reacting strongly.

  • YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet
  • Seems to me that anything beyond the actual hosting and serving of the video file is unnecessary to include by default in a federated video streaming solution....

    You are basically saying "Other than the most expensive and complicated parts" the rest is easy or unnecessary. Which isn't necessarily accurate but still is being a bit dismissive of the problems at hand.

    And one of the biggest criticisms of Peertube (aside from the dearth of content, which helpfully avoids the "expensive/complicated" parts) has been Discoverability. How do people watch your videos (or your playlist) if they don't have a way of knowing that your videos even exist?

  • Report: Unity's Runtime Fee quietly gave exemptions in launch rush
  • Source available is open source. There’s a recent movement trying to redefine open source to refer only to FOSS, but it’s pretty stupid.

    You have it reversed. The "source available is open source" argument is the more recent idea. Unless by "recent" you mean "in the last 30 years".

  • Report: Unity's Runtime Fee quietly gave exemptions in launch rush
  • Also, you can distribute your version, of course you can.

    Are you sure?

    You may Distribute Engine Code (including as modified by you) in Source Code or object code to a third party who is separately licensed by us to use the same version of the Engine Code that you are Distributing.

    Any public Distribution of Engine Tools (e.g., intended generally for third parties who are separately licensed by us to use the Engine Code) must take place through a marketplace operated by Epic such as the Unreal Engine Marketplace (e.g., for Distributing a Product’s modding tool or editor to end users) or through a fork of Epic’s GitHub UnrealEngine Network (e.g., for Distributing Source Code).

    So, you can only distribute source to people who are specifically licensed by Epic to use the source. That sure doesn't sound anything like "open source" to me.

  • Report: Unity's Runtime Fee quietly gave exemptions in launch rush
  • you can’t use most open source code “however you like” either

    Alright, sure my language was overly broad. "The licensing is restrictive in a way which makes it clearly not open source." would have been a better choice.

    ...the main restriction with unreal engine is that you can’t mix it with copyleft licenses and you can’t use it commercially.

    So, it's not open source.

    ...but you can do what most people want to do, modify, extend, fix, learn. that’s the most relevant thing for what we are talking about here

    That still doesn't make it open source, mainly because you are missing one of biggest aspects, distribution.

  • Report: Unity's Runtime Fee quietly gave exemptions in launch rush
  • keep in mind that unreal engine is also open source.

    The Unreal Engine is not open source by any reasonable definition of open source. Being "source available" is not the same as open source, as you can't use the code whoever you like.
