I always thought the theatrical editions would be easier for first-timers, but I've never tested that theory. Interesting to hear that you felt the opposite.

When Doom was 5 years old we got Half-Life. When GTA2 was 5 years old we got GTA San Andreas. When Quake was 5 years old we got Halo. Pretty crazy.

that's how it always goes, people wanna complain in the comments so they pretend it's the worst problem in the world, then you ask them to spend $1 to fund development and fix it in the software they use every day and you get nothing lol

Yeah it's like trying to delete a torrent that you created lol, deleting stuff from the Internet is not so easy. Even websites that claim to allow you to delete stuff may still be backed up by The Wayback Machine or similar, or even just a random user who liked your post and downloaded it.

I would like improvements here, but you should probably still be careful about anything you post if you're worried about being able to delete it, no matter what site you're on.

When taking the geometric mean of all the performance benchmarks carried out, the combination of one Zen 4 and one Zen 4C core was around 84% the speed of two Zen 4 cores -- not bad at all for the Zen 4C showing especially with it topping out at 3.7GHz rather than 5.0GHz.

the geometric mean showed 1x Z4 was 3.597, 1x Z4 + 1x Z4C was 5.427, and 2x Z4 was 6.481

so the Z4C core added 1.83 compared to the 2nd Z4 which added 2.884, so a Z4C core is about 63% as fast as a Z4 core with 74% of the clockspeed

so Z4C has about 85% of the IPC as the Z4 core

94 days (they said 2252 hours in the article) on 28,000 mAh? that means a more normal phone with 5,000 mAh would get nearly 17 days of standby time? I've never tried not touching my phone for a full day but I don't believe that, not with Android running. Maybe if it was untouched and in airplane mode lol.

you make a good point about push vs pull, although things are only pushed if someone is subscribed (opt-ed in)

I think the proposal is for licenses to become part of the ActivityPub protocol, so all applications would retain the original license of the content, license would be a first class citizen

although without licenses this is functionally the same as email, I wonder how the laws work for that, for example I don't think you can just plagiarize something that someone wrote, quoted, or copy-pasted to you in an email if it's actually copyrighted content like from a book (aka content that had a license)

cloning data in that way isn't legally different than what The Wayback Machine does for other websites, it doesn't mean a company can just ignore the legal license of the content just because they can get a copy of it

if the only concern was getting a copy of the data, then Reddit wouldn't be able to sell access to the data for $75mil or whatever, the AI company would just scrape the pages or pay the API fees directly, and then they could even store the data and serve it to other people as a mirror and make some money off of the content with ads too!

same thing with licenses on Git repos, you can't just clone it and do whatever you want with it, there are laws

Ok I actually haven't played BG3 yet lol, but I'm gonna suggest Freedom Force. It's a superhero RPG with some cool character building. The game is on Steam and GOG but I see some people saying the GOG version works better out of the box for modern Windows.

It doesn't have dialog trees though just combat. But it's not violent, you said you didn't like the violence. And it takes very little storage space.

Also linking that post reminded me, hopefully somehow a smoother way to link posts across instances can be worked out (albeit that's a general federation quirk from what I've seen, Mastodon runs into similar stuff sometimes).

@einat2346@lemmy.today actually dbzer0 doesn't have access to your IP address, only lemmy.today sees it

for everyone else it's the instance that your account lives on
