Helldivers 2 is 25-35 on medium and smooth. Very little stuttering.

Let’s take a page from Helldivers and call it “Managed Capitalism.” Surely far better than rootstock /s

Religious makeup

Clippy never had a voice and tbh the one that comes to mind for him is not very easy on the ears. Like downpitched spongebob.

Yet language and abstraction are the core of intelligence. You cannot have intelligence without 2 way communication, and if anything, your brain contains exactly that dictionary you describe. Ask any verbal autistic person, and 90% of their conversations are scripted to a fault. However, there’s another component to intelligence that the Turing Test just scrapes against. I’m not philosophical enough to identify it, but it seems like the turing test is looking for lightning by listening for rumbling that might mean thunder.

I have had 0 issues with it and it’s only gotten better. I’m running a flat, stable 30 on high currently. That’s more than I can say of hogwarts…

Me hearing a whisper in the wind through my kitchen window: “You’re letting all of the bought air ouuuuutttt…”

The book also claims that music is extraordinarily rare, with most species finding rhythm and melody indestinguishable from noise. I think the point is that the galactic consciousness that runs it all universally translates for purposes of intercommunication. What is heard or understood is more the concept of what was said than the phonetic content therein. It wasn’t that such and such syllables made up the word “human,” it was that the concept of human needed a universal concept to tie to the thing itself. For example, a matriarchal insectoid species who canabalizes any mate is known by the concept of “widow” as a species. Not the word, the idea that the galactic mind would push as a conceptual thought in whatever manner of communication a species might communicate in, which itself might or might not be verbal or phonetic.

In the book, the word you give is the translation into galactic standard, which is one uniform language. Earth would be translated into the same word as soil and dirt, and perhaps a few synnonyms could be pulled before the concept itself was milked dry.

If you haven’t read The Last Human by Zack Jordan, I highly recommend it. In between chapters, the reader is treated to excerpts from an Asmovian encyclopedia that explains the rules of the intergalactic society that the sole remaining human, the main character, has to navigate.

As part of joining the trillion-species-strong network, a species must fill out a form to dictate the nouns and adjectives for your species, home star, homeworld, sexual divisions (where applicable), and so on. It’s noted in the book that since there are so many species already assigned values in the database, the encyclopedia warns that names like Earth, dirt, mud, moon, star, sol, and home are already taken, and are constantly rejected in proposals.

Chinese government overreach? Surely hell has frozen over /s

Me writing my silly little forms apps in silly little VS Pretty drop-down fields :)

I see a future where China out and out steals the unity backend to publish the CCP spyware flavor of unity.

I wonder, if I put image posts without context as a comment, will I, too, look as desperate for attention and legitimacy as yourself?

I’ve always wondered how good proton is when the hardware is less standardized than a console/pc hybrid. Can you really just slap in any modern x86 CPU and Nvidia Card and just go? How’s driver handling? It’s been years since I’ve used a linux desktop environment, so I’d be coming to it with navigational/file-handling skills in terminal alone.

That’s an old white-hat trick. If the tables drop, the wrap helps them bounce.

They’re defo more resistant than Xbox controllers. My thumbs get tired after ~45min of playing a shooter

I literally doubled my decks weight with a 15000Ma brick attached to the DeckMate system. Now I gotta be resing my arms on my knees or a pillow but I can chill for 4 or 5hrs in game. Also, I gotta be careful about covering the inlet in that position, or I’m playing a slideshow for 2min while the Deck cools.

I’ve been getting 25fps not having touched the settings. Anything I can do to improve that? I’m running SteamOS beta branch and have not adjusted the VRAM levels

Grill is such a broad term, too. Camping grills, tripod saucer grills, suburban home grills, BBQ grills, home made fire pit with iron grates. Perhaps we’ll see certain types become less popular, but the grill has existed for nearly as long as civilization.
