The texture healing technique is technically brilliant, but imho looks weird.

I will stick to Source Code Pro.

Well, it worked really well for Andor

None, in modern context we can work in any base we desire, all that basic stuff got generalized ages ago. No one is going to change computing systems to use babylonian-style. And the trigonometry stuff is the same thing we knew, but discovered earlier than the greeks.

It’s a important discovery for sure, especially for our understanding of ancient Mesopotamian cultures, but everything else is the authors and the article going bananas with conclusions.

Humanity will survive this but everyone will suffer the effects. Even something relatively minor like COVID had great effects to the global economy, but with these we are talking about:

• Weather inestabilization, with greater storms and massive heat waves.

• General crop failures in many places of the world.

• Desertification in many areas.

• Massive migration waves.

• Very difficult and unstable economy.

We are starting to see some of this, but 2050 onwards is going to be a very difficult time for all humanity except the most wealthy.

I don’t think Lemmy is more privacy friendly. In fact, its, arguably, even less privacy friendly that others.

I kind of agree with your points, but I think there has to be a distinction of libs. Most deps should be static IMHO. But something like OpenSSL I can understand if you go with dynamic linking, especially if it’s a security critical program.

But for “string parsing library #124” or random “gui lib #35”… Yeah, go with static.

I have yet to find a memory hungry program thats its caused by its dependencies instead of its data. And frankly the disk space of all libraries is minuscule compared to graphical assets.

You know what’s going to really bother the issue? If the program doesn’t work because of a dependency. And this happens often across all OSes, searching for these are dime a dozen in forums. “Package managers should just fix all the issues”. Until they don’t, wrong versions get uploaded, issues compiling them, environment problems, etc etc.

So to me, the idea of efficiency for dynamic linking doesn’t really cut it. A bloated program is more efficient that a program that doesn’t work.

This is not to say that dynamic linking shouldn’t be used. For programs doing any kind of elevation or administration, it’s almost always better from a security perspective. But for general user programs? Static all the way.

It’s basically DOS3 with different combat, better dialog mechanics and generally better designed. The way exploration, stealth and general flow is essentially the same as Divinity and will play very much the same way, with some improvements on most areas.

That’s a super sexy build! Tasteful use of lights

Why cotton instead of linen? At least in Spain, linen is more popular as summer clothing, and definitively feels fresher.

Any site worth its salt (heh) will verify criteria on client for UI reasons, not just in the backend

Didnt know Nushell, but that looks better than cmder! Will give it a try.

Both of those progressing nicely in Spain, and the result was… a rise of the right, that has doubled down on destroying the aquifers in the south, the most affected region.

So the worse things become, the more people turn a blind eye to the issue.

Waterloo (1970). That many extras required the collaboration with the soviet army, as well as bulldozing a big area to film.

We can see the difference very clearly with the new Napoleon trailer, which despite the huge budget looks outright poor in battles.

Do people have such short memory? The US does it, yeah, it was a super major scandal years ago. Spying not just on “enemy” states but also supposed allies, as well as all citizens all over.

Set your build goals now (check !buildapc@lemmy.world ) and use alerts/price trackers to see good deals. There are some good deals on Black Friday but many are bogus, its to better to check every now and then for deals.

Yeah, the password is much better. In Windows you also realize it because the admin screen is hard to miss, but you can just go ahead and accept it, since many users run their PC as admins.

I mean, in europe they are more expensive, 4070RTX was about 700€ (770$). Different currencies and different taxes. And greed.

If you have root in linux you can disable that, so you are in the same state. You could also selfsign.

This is an issue, but IMHO quite overblown.

nVidia GPUs:

970GTX was 329$ in 2014

1070GTX was 379$ in 2016

2070RTX was 499$ in 2018

3070RTX was 499$ in 2020

4070RTX is 599$ in 2023

Probably, the 5070 in 2025-6 will be 650-700.
