Have they? VRR support in Linux is still a total crapshoot in my experience. VRR doesn’t work at all with multiple displays in X.
How is this false story still getting pushed to the top?
We literally just had a thread about it earlier this week. It was debunked.
The same story came up years ago, and it was debunked then too.
People will just believe anything these days.
None of these problems are really dealbreakers for a consumer-oriented file system in 2023. Not even ext4 supports CoW. Now that everyone boots off an SSD, things like file fragmentation no longer matter, and most of NTFS’ continued slowness has more to do with Windows itself than the actual file system.
ReFS is Microsoft’s new file system meant for more advanced use cases. It supports many but not all of these advanced features. Starting with Windows 11, you can actually boot off a ReFS drive, though I’m not sure that is a recommended configuration.
People have been saying these things since 2020 and it has convinced me that people in online gaming forums are out of touch.
Here’s my argument against the Series X though:
It has nothing I can’t play on my PC. Even though Sony has started releasing their games on PC, their ports usually come years later. I don’t hold this against Microsoft though, I’m more than happy to play games like Halo on PC instead of buying another console.
Sony console exclusives are better and more numerous than Xbox exclusives. This has been the case since the Xbox One.
The DualSense is a way cooler controller. I’m pretty miffed that the Xbox controller still doesn’t have a gyroscope, When utilized properly a gyroscope makes aiming in shooters a lot easier.
So the way I see it, there isn’t much reason to buy a Series X beyond its awesome backwards compatibility.
They’re just people looking for attention.
Some random personal favorites of the last 10 years off the top of my head, in no particular order
By these rules, Gone with the Wind likely wins.
But it’s still not a good comparison because of other factors. First off, movie theaters didn’t used to compete with television, cable, video games, DVDs, streaming, or social media for your free time. The industry was also a lot smaller, meaning there were fewer high profile movies dividing up that whole pie. The lack of practical home video also meant popular films like Gone with the Wind would get frequently re-issued and continue racking up ticket sales.
It is essentially impossible to accurately compare the popularity of any two movies separated by more than a decade or two.
Not hard at all. I can already tell you I liked Everything Everywhere All at Once (this year’s BP winner) way more than Dances with Wolves.
1991 is a uniquely weak year for the Academy though. You might have had a stronger argument with 1994 or 1995, but I can still think of plenty of movies released in the last decade that I would rank up there with Schindler’s List or Pulp Fiction.
The bigger problems Apple has are their enterprise device and user management, and the fact that many businesses are still reliant on Windows-only software.
Most companies I’ve worked for buy machines that usually aren’t much cheaper than Apple equivalents, at least in terms of MSRP, despite the quality often being worse. My work-provided 2022 HP Z-Book 15 is more expensive as configured than my personal M2 14" MacBook Pro, and is still a shittier machine in just about every objective (and subjective) way I can think of. This is because enterprises typically buy business class laptops like Lattitudes and ThinkPads rather than lower cost (and less durable) consumer oriented machines. That said, it is not uncommon for IT departments at large enterprises to pay well under MSRP for these machines when buying in bulk.
Not to defend the scumbag or this scammy “web3” nonsense, but working for studios not part of the AMPTP during a strike does not necessarily make someone a scab. If the studio in question has their own contract with SAG then it’s 100% kosher.
This is why a lot of “indie” productions from studios like A24 are going forward while the rest of Hollywood is stuck doing nothing.
I don’t really like Destiny as a game, but the way Bungie has been handling their community is top notch. I love their low tolerance for bullshit. Other developers should be taking notes.
It’s like Dvorak. You can be ~5% faster once you get over the turly enormous learning curve. The problem is, for most people, that 5% does not justify the huge initial investment.
Assuming you can find one that actually does what you want
It will have all the same deficiencies your eyes do. If you can’t see through a wall, then neither can “Li-Fi”.
The entire design philosophy of GNOME drives me up a wall. Who in their right mind decided we don’t need minimize buttons on our windows?
To be fair, the .website TLD basically screams “I AM SPAM”
Reddit:- You Google Reddit and your first result is Reddit.com. You click the link and are presented with the front page. You from scroll from a few hours and end up signing up and staying.
I don’t think this is the path most people take to becoming new Reddit users.
I think most people end up using new social media sites because they get linked to content already on a given site that they like. This could be from friends sharing links, or through Google results from the site.
NATO made it clear that any fallout from a nuclear attack in Ukraine reaching a member state would trigger article 5. If Putin thinks he can pin such an attack on a rogue actor like Prig instead of Russia then maybe he can get away with it.
Importantly, “free speech” is about government, not privately owned spaces.
We believe the government should not be given the power to censor speech, because people are born into it without a choice. Governments could use this power nefariously, and their citizens would have no meaningful recourse.
Nobody is born into Reddit or kbin or Lemmy. If someone doesn’t like the rules of a given instance, they are welcome to leave and free themselves of this burden.
Some of the backlash cited in the article seems out of touch, this in particular:
I must have missed the part where these memes are making jokes about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
