  • Never really used it that much and I've been much more active in Lemmy than ever in Reddit.

    However, if I have problem that need a quick answer, I usually search Reddit. This in not because it is somehow amazing, but because Google searches suck nowadays. Typing Reddit into the search query usually brings out the answer I need instantly.

  • It's a bit off an off-topic but, can someone explain me the difference between IMAX and iSense? I've googled it but don't fully understand it. How does iSense compare to this beast of an IMAX film reel for example? What about more standard IMAX theatres?

    Thanks!

  • I usually just type as I find swiping unreliable.

    As a side note, I just got a new phone with advanced haptics. This is the first time typing on a touch screen feels responsive 😯

  • I'm sure it also has something to do with that when you get older, you've had those experiences many more times than as a child. They just don't feel that specia anymore.l

  • Great! I'll need to get one before they run out of stock then.

  • So Intel Nuc's are not probably ideal for that job? 1080p is good enough for me for now :)

  • Damn, we are using them at my work and they have been very good as remotely updateable media kiosks. I just started to learn how to use them. Ofcourse well keep using them for some time still, but at some point we'll need to find another solution.

    I was also thinking getting one to work as a streaming computer. Currently I use one computer setup, which causes performance issues with some games. Would a nuc work as a computer to encode the video live or would it make more sense to use a machine with s proper GPU? Any thoughts?

  • Well, cat's shouldn't be on the streets or in nature anyways, so...good luck?

  • There's a little game called Dorfromantik in which you build a map with tiles. The PC version is my go to game when I need to multitask (made long Teams meetings during covid bearable). It's very simple, yet I have like 150h put into it. Not even that expensive to buy.

    There's also a board game version which apparently ok too.

  • Wait until he realizes where the ventriloquist's hand is...

  • These kinda belong to a museum or some other instance that has the resources to catalogue and preserve them. Any idea if an instance like that exists in USA? Library of Congress comes to mind but I don't think they are responsible for preserving such materials.

  • Could be. Like I said, I only remember reading about this as I have no interest in owning a Steamdeck myself. Just tried to be helpful and bring that up.

  • Not counting the obvious blackmail aspect of the Two Pence Sultan's demand, the whole idea is stupid.

    EU and NATO are separate organizations with separate structures. While most of EU are NATO members, NATO issues aren't, shouldn't and cannot be decided in EU bodies. I'd be very surprised if anyone in EU (including Sweden) would change their stance towards Turkey unless they themselves undergo fundamental changes to match the applicant criteria.

    Unless Erdogan has his head totally up in his own arse, He knows this. He's probably upping the ante to later back off and make a deal on some other issue that has been too much for NATO or the US up to this point.

    Ofcourse this is just my reading of the situation and I'm not an expert on Turkey or international policy. It just seems to fit Erdogan's Modus operandi.

  • I agree but doesn't that just underline the stupidity of blowing up Kakhovka Dam or the fact that it was done to prepare for a imminent defeat?

    Southern Ukraine and Crimea will become economical disasters because of this and if Russia was able to control them, they'd only have strategic value against Ukraine and the Black Sea region. Monetarily, they will be a black hole for years to come and living there won't be easy for the civilians.

    So it only really makes sense to destroy the area in case you know you are about to lose it. Of course that is to presuppose that the decision was well planned in advance rather than based on feeling and miscalculations, which could very well be the case. The incompetence at play here is amazing, so it's very possible no one really wanted catastrophe on this level, but idiotic decision were made on whim or based on biased data.

    Whatever the case, let's hope Ukraine prevails!

  • I remember reading that it has problems with some AAA games released this. Cannot remember which ones though, but there's probably some articles about this. And come to think of it, the complaints were probably about some games not running smooth 60fps all the time, which is not a problem for most people.

  • I personally am not that interested in Steamdeck, but if I was, I'd probably wait. Considering the age and the fact that newer games are already not that smooth on it, there is a likehood that a new version is on it's way. May not come out next year but the current gen definetily won't have the same lifespan as Nintendo Switch for example.

  • It's baffling how shortsighted it was to blow up the damn. Unless the Russians know that they are losing and want to make sure that life in the liberated areas will remain terrible. Here's to hoping a swift end to the war and lot of support for rebuilding.

  • Don't know, haven't played it yet 😅

  • Just bought the Escapist 2 because my niece wanted to play it with me online. In all honesty I am not that interested in it but it was 5€ on discount, so it's not a huge loss 😅

  • I wouldn't contrast the two too much."Red Facism" is something more akin to Stalinist Russia or Maoist China. Contemporary China is way more interconnected with capitalism and global trade than those system ever were (or even wanted to be). Today's China is like capitalism on steroids (steroids being the ordinary people that collectively fed to system in order to keep it afloat). So it's not really a historical parallel with what's described in the Wikipedia article.
