The worst thing for me was the loading times just by starting the game.
It took me like 2 minutes to get into the game with my last save and 1.5 minutes are just waiting for the launcher, starting the game and all of the logos and things the game was made with. Even worse some Red dead online event being shown before you are even in the main menu even though I don’t even want to play online.
I would recommend watching the video…
What you say is “easy” is great for a comment on Reddit or Lemmy but it doesn’t really provide anything to the actual problem.
The problem is that a company “just” doesn’t, why would they do this anyway? It would open their IP to be forked, modified and used for something else by someone else. That isn’t what they want you to do.
Since there is no incentive and no one is forcing them to do this they just keep doing whatever they want. It was mentioned in the video that there is absolutely no regulation or anything in that regard available ANYWHERE in the world, not even in the EU.
THIS is what the video and Ross Scott want to achieve, that there either will be regulations for it so that Game developers and Publishers can’t just create games with some mandatory server backend running that is shut down in a couple of years OR that there is at least some way of saying “well, we don’t care” so that the consumer can actually do anything about it on their own end.
So it is easy to say they “just” have to do X or Y but the past and the increasing games relying on things like this have shown that they won’t do anything about it because nothing is stopping them.

Apparently not for everyone. At least not available in Germany.
Depends. I recently was in that situation and it was easier and more cost-effective to just print them.
I recently bought some Lego Star Wars sets and printed out some Display stands for them but the connection between the stands and the model was expected to be a 2x4 Lego plate. I didn’t have those plates at hand so I looked online and found it from the official Lego site.
The individual “Plate 2x4” would cost 0.14EUR each. Since I needed 3 this would be 0.42EUR. But the mailing costs would be over 9EUR.
So ordering 3 of those Lego pieces would cost me almost 10 bucks. I just printed them out which worked well, they were a bit tight fit but are still holding.
But I wouldn’t necessarily say that this is a replacement for actual Lego pieces. As a quick alternative that you can’t see or that has less interaction with other pieces (doesn’t need to fit correctly on all sides) then I think this can work.
I also found the “Do Not Mistake My Silence For Lack Of Grief.” Quote very fitting. Just because you are not showing it doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect you.
so, sooo much.
I currently print some stands for some Lego spaceships. I also have over a TB of models from various Patreons that I support accumulated over the months. I also always find new ones I want to print, but rarely find the time to ACTUALLY print something, anything…
Could also be “Continous Integration” (from CI/CD - Continous integration/Continous deployment/delivery)
judging by the “Why build a new CI?” section their old “CI” was built on Azure DevOps so I would go with Continous Integration here.
My neighbour asked me to take a look at her refrigerator because it wasn’t working. I am a software developer.
Unraid “supports” docker compose. You can install and use it but you won’t be able to utilize how unraid handles docker containers.
All that unraid does is make docker more accessible for the normal user. In the end the container template constructs a docker run command.
So you could use portainer to manage stacks through a webui or install compose and have to SSH into the unraid server all the time.
While this would be funny to watch, it wouldn’t help Linux at all, quite the opposite actually because many have the impression of Linux in exactly that way.
So something like this would have to have a huge asterisk and constant clarification that this is “not the general state of Linux”
as a player, Streaming boxes that have an Android OS are great but Google Supplies Android TV as the default launcher with those devices which has gone downhill for a while now.
80% of your UI is now covered with Ads.
So if you switch to something like an Nvidia Shield or something like that definitely use a different launcher instead of Android TV. I currently use the Projectivy Launcher which is so god damn clean and only contains what I want to see.
I had the pleasure recently to create an ffmpeg command to transcode a video into HEVC 10bit with quicksync.
I had tha previously running completely fine on my Nvidia GPU. You would think that it would just be replacing the parameter which device or hardware acceleration to use.
Yeah, turns out that there are like 4 ways to set the quality value of the transcoded output, CRF didn’t work for some reason with quick sync so you need to use global quality or something. I spend days on this trying to figure this out, DAYS.
It is a very powerful tool but every time I have to use it, it is too complicated and I have to spend hours or days to get it working.
If you look at your library it shows you what they currently use and you can even set which you want as default.
yeah, can’t say that this is the case. Since the Metadata Agent would be responsible for requesting and adding metadata to your library items it would be set to the Official Plex Metadata Agents, since this is specifically for Movie Artworks, this would then only apply to the Plex Movie Metadata Agent.
But nowhere is any mention of where that metadata is coming from. Since I already wrote my own Metadata Agent and have some experience with it I know that the metadata is coming from watch.plex.tv as the metadata aggregator. I also know that movie-related Metadata is coming from TheMovieDB or IMDB.
You can specifically define that you want metadata from any of the sources if your “force match” the related source through the {tvdb-110381} on your folders. But not in the agent settings itself.
For TV Shows this is somewhat different because you can specifically select the Episode ordering to either TVDB or TMDB. By default, and from my tests, everything is coming from TheMovieDB unless otherwise specified.
I am curious where you did see that…
But, again, the point is to make this more clear what the origin is because I have had multiple instances in which I had to do some detective work telling a user where that incorrect metadata is coming from because all they see is some wrong metadata in their library that someone maliciously changed on on TVDB, IMDB or TMDB.
Would have been nice to say what “new primary metadata source” that is because you can’t really distinguish where everything is coming from anyway and just have to guess or ask on Reddit/lemmy. Is that now a completely new metadata source, do they now prefer TheMovieDB or maybe IMDB?
Why did I read that with the David Attenborough voice in mind?
Polygon surveyed more than 4,000 people
That isn’t that many people. This is like 0.04% of the people subscribed to the r/anime subreddit. and just 2.5% of the number of visitors of an anime convention in my country.
Yeah. The general speed that you set isn’t necessarily the speed that your printer will print at. That might be the max speed you might get in the best situation or location.
For example, depending on the settings, first layer, outer walls, bridges and other parts of the model cann all be printed at a lower speed to preserve quality. Your print head also needs to accelerate and decelerate for every corner so that it doesn’t overshoot and go where it should. So low acceleration/deceleration play also a part. And the model itself has to be considered in this too because long, mostly straight lines can accelerate to that speed and stay on it for longer.
So what you set as “speed” in the slicer is mostly not what you actually get. Some slicers have a speed display with a colour gradient after you sliced it so that you can see which parts are faster or slower.
The only thing you can really do about it is to do test prints and slowly push the speed up as far as you can to get a decent quality at a nice speed. But you can still end up in parts where you would be fairly slow.
My phone still doesn’t know what fuck means or suggests it to me when I want to write it even though I use it fairly often. I also daily greet my coworkers over threema and it still hasn’t learned what I want to write when my sausage fingers and the too smal keyboard are at a disagreement what should be written.
