How do you calculate speed at all with only one frame?

Wouldn’t the air resistance be insane at those speeds? If it didn’t just slow it down significantly, the friction would add even more heat to it.

The enshittification of Steam would really sting and significantly harm PC gaming as a whole.

As GabeN ages, I really worry about the day when he finally hands control of that company over, because as soon as ROI becomes their primary objective, it’s game over.

Prioritizing the experience and quality of the platform over profit maximization has actually earned them more money in the long run as they’ve slowly snowballed over all their competitors. I really hope the new stewards understand this and genuinely love gaming as a whole as it seems a lot of decision-makers at Valve currently do.

Over 20 years, easy. I started my PC life as a Mac user, switched to Windows for gaming, then switched to Linux for freedom. VLC has followed me the whole way and been a must-install since the first time I used it.

Yeah, it’s frustrating on both ends.

Readers and viewers of art are increasingly skeptical because of all the intentionally deceptive content flooding the zone.

Meanwhile, the humans actually making new things get drowned out by the slop and accused of using AI when they finally do surface.

They created BS machines that made everyone more distrustful of real human experience.

You may like archeology. My wife is an archeologist and she says that a lot of it is using science and history to make sense of people’s trash.

The thing to remember is our post-industrial conceptualization of trash is a little different than the past. For example, broken projectile points and their flakes are essentially just really old trash that was dropped when it broke or wasn’t useful anymore.

If you really like this, it’s not that far off from how archeologists date stuff. Though they collect a lot more datapoints, have more context, and use more references.

Yeah, it sucks because I kind of like emojis, but now I feel like I can’t use them because people will think my docs are AI generated.

I can already collect and organize bookmarks very easily in every browser. Other than a prettier UI, I’m not sure how this is functionally different. Am I missing something?

Thx for explaining what trash bags do.

Wow that’s a long dev reply. He certainly has a lot of controversies to address…

Steering clear of this one.

Graphics are really good though.

Yeah, I noticed that. Luckily, the YT embedded player has an “add to Watch Later” button (the clock icon). I’ll use the favorites as a fallback for when Google inevitably kills that feature, lol.

This is great! FreshRSS has been part of my YouTube “flow” for a long time. I like going through my subscriptions list, adding them to my “Watch Later” playlist, and then watching them all in a row. This seems like it’d be perfect for that.

It’s no secret to regular readers of this newsletter that I’m still an avid Plex user. Despite the numerous privacy concerns, price increases, and recent (confusing) primary domain redirect from plex.tv to watch.plex.tv, I still find the transition to Jellyfin a hard sell given its fragmentation and smattering of third-party clients that are all good* but not really great (oh, and hello to the Lemmy readers who always roast me for this take)*.

Alright, I’ll spare you then. <3

This is a seriously cool plugin though, and I legitimately loved Plexamp. Plex’s decent really sucks for this community.

Maybe in a modern context, but compared to the movies at the time, it was kinda mind-blowing.

There are a few reasons, but I think this is the the most common. People accept almost anything if it means they can click one less button.

I’ve spent many hours reducing extremely complex things down to a couple simple steps, only to have people say it’s “too hard” because they need to copy-paste a single URL.

Note that they said “audio” jack, not “headphone” jack.

Headphones are but one of many, many different devices you may want to plug your phone into, and a lot of them don’t have Bluetooth. Basically every audio device ever made (except smartphones) uses either a 3.5mm, or 1/4”, or XLR. These are all analog signals that can be easily adapted without needing a DAC, which USB needs.

I cannot decipher this title.

Funny, but the vibration mechanism is actually very different. Whistling uses a very specific shape with your lips creates a vortex of air that creates sound waves (similar to a flute or blowing across a bottle).

Your vocal “cords” (vocal folds is more accurate), make sound by flapping back and forth due to the tension and airflow to which they are subjected. This flapping creates the sound waves (similar to blowing a raspberry or a fart).

So, saying your voice is just a prolonged throat fart is more accurate.
