Well, realistic graphics are costly and time consuming. If development time and budget is spent of photorealism, it’s not being spent on game mechanics or additional stories.

This may be a simple coincidence. Maybe you had similar YouTube suggestions in the past but you didn’t pay attention because they come at random times. Like if you drive a Honda Civic, you tend to spot all the Honda Civic in the street.

There would be an interesting experiment to make though:

1. Take a snapshot of your YouTube recommandations
2. Choose a subject that has nothing to do with any of the recommandations, let’s say “travel to the Bahamas”
3. Hold a conversation with someone with both your phone’s present, mention several time going to the Bahamas.
4. Check YouTube again, si if the topic of Bahamas is appearing.
5. Choose another topic not covered by your recommendations, let’s say collecting stamps
6. Put your phones away, have a conversation about collecting stamps
7. Check YouTube recommandations

Who cares about photorealism ? Artistic direction just has to be consistent to contribute to the world building. Other than that, I think many will agree with me that most important are: good writing (characters and story arcs), good gameplay, creative concepts.

Non, Joelthelion a raison. C’est un évènement national !

I feel like outdated software on the stable distro like Debian has become less of a problem with the development of flatpak.

Macron et Barnier vont bien réussir à ce débrouiller pour rectifier ça.

Imaginez un peu la catastrophe pour le pays tout entier quand les milliardaires se retrouveront à la rue en payant 2% sur le patrimoine qui dépasse le milliard! /s

This is not at all the case.

Most potentiometers have a full rotation or 270°, sometimes up to 300°. By convention the mid-travel is at 12 o’clock. That would make the 0 around 7:30 and the 10 around 4:30.

Encrypt first, then upload. Of course, not always easily applicable.

If you drink it, you will make that face :C=C=O

It depends what the law is in your country, but wouldn’t it be illegal for police to take away your phone without a warrant? Also, I find it not so probable that any cop has access to the top-secret-deep-state-backdoor.

Ardour is definitely professional grade, but I must say that it’s far from simple to setup. First, you may not have the latest version available in you SW repository and you would have to compile it yourself! Then, despite all the progress brought by pipewire, audio config in Linux is complicated and unreliable, especially for this time of work, requiring different audio devices, MIDI control interfaces and VSTs.

I am not an audio professional, I’m an amateur, and found myself demotivated by the amount of work required until I am ready to create music, and finally gave up :(

Interesting idea!

A bit different, is the Duress Password from GrapheneOS:

GrapheneOS provides users with the ability to set a duress PIN/Password that will irreversibly wipe the device (along with any installed eSIMs) once entered anywhere where the device credentials are requested (on the lockscreen, along with any such prompt in the OS).

The wipe does not require a reboot and cannot be interrupted.

Features: Duress - GrapheneOS.org

I use Duplicity to backup my home directory, excluding Steam and Downloads folders. It is setup to backup weekly to my NAS mounted as NFS. The NAS has a weekly cron task to upload the backups to pCloud using rclone. I backup this way, several computers (2 desktop, 2 laptop, the NAS as well). The files included in this strategy are essentially my photos, documents and configs. My software installations, games, media library are not backed up.

Je me demandais ce que c’est la rétention administrative:

La rétention administrative consiste à maintenir dans un lieu fermé un étranger qui ne peut pas quitter immédiatement la France. Il ne peut pas être retenu plus de 48 heures. Mais, dans certains cas, la mesure de rétention peut être prolongée. Ces lieux sont les suivants :

• Centre de rétention administrative (CRA), gardé par la police
• Local de rétention généralement situé dans un commissariat de police

Donc on est d’accord, c’est de la prison.

It sucks the price is increasing. 58€/month is still cheaper than what my Jobticket (sponsored by my employer) use to cost, it was over 100€/month.

I am pretty sure it’s different, but I am missing the reference.

Non, ça se dit : fromage de bite

Why not listen first and then decide if it’s worth buying? Go listen to the songs for free on YouTube or other means. Then if you like it, buy it for any price you feel is fair. I do most of my music shopping on Bandcamp, you can listen to the songs there before buying. For older albums it isn’t uncommon the artists let you name your own price.

I’m a huge nerd wearing a tinfoil hat:

• owns many computers, all run Linux
• GrapheneOS
• not on social media (other than Lemmy) do not use WhatsApp
• NAS in the leaving room
• 3D printer in the leaving room I pass for normal in social settings until some ask for my WhatsApp or Instagram or what have you.

Prevent radical change to the climate, by advocating for radical change in the way with live, produce, consume, work, do politics, organize our society. Any climate activist will tell you it’s already too late to preserve or revert to the climate before the industrial revolution. It’s all about saving what still can and stop the damage now.

They really aren’t conservative at all.

P.S: Conservatives on the other hand, are advocating to return our society to the feudal age, and if we let them, they will effortlessly succeed…
