Tiny DLSS has about half the overhead in terms of frametime cost but sacrifices anti-aliasing on moving objects. Video weighs pros and cons of using tiny DLSS with bigger input resolution (Star Wars: Outlaws) vs full DLSS with smaller input resolution (Cyberpunk 2077) but the point of video is to show those differences directly. In my opinion lack of AA in motion is a bit overstated as it’s relatively hard to notice without magnifying glass.

Humans aren’t that homogeneous when it comes to immunity though.

When Europeans colonised Americas they brought germs that decimated Indians. There’s plenty of evidence that similar thing happened in Europe too when Yamnaya / Corded Ware culture expanded because they replaced existing people very quickly and without much violence which also coincides with burial sites teeming with black plague but I digress.

You also have to account for unused immunity being possibly eroded with time because there’s no evolutionary pressure. This is why we need to be mindful about vitamins for example - we got used to them being available in the environment and our bodies can no longer synthesise them. Dormant functionality isn’t guaranteed to carry over through millennia.

40k years ago is also when last Sapiens and Neanderthal admixture happened which was a bit of big thing for our immune systems to give a sense of scale here.

I moved to Posteo. A thing that might attract some is that even though it’s a paid service, you can pay for it in cash over mail anonymously, which I know some of you freaks will love. EU based.

Ultimate was $20. Still an enormous price hike.

[–] misk@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago

It was the only incentive for most people.

The most baffling thing is not the price hike - it’s the price hike combined Xbox Game Studios release roadmap looking barren compared to the last 2 years. What is this $30 supposed to pay for? Severance packages?

There’s Kodi in WebOS brew appstore. I’ve only ever used Kodi for offline media libraries but as far as I know there’s plenty of third party Kodi addons for this kind of piracy.

I don’t think that it’s meant to.

How can this be misused specifically? Your ID is in a central register already.

[–] misk@piefed.social -1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

How so? They already have a government issued IDs tracked via central register and all this does is offer it via different medium for convenience. Privacy is better because you can select which data points you’re sharing / confirming.

I’ve said it many times before, Bloomberg, FT and WSJ might be owned by neoliberal vampires, but by $deity, work ethic of their journalists is on another level to everyone else, probably because they have so much money. Admittedly, their souls are probably being sucked out in the process, but unless you have something against the article itself it seems like we’re wasting time debating integrity of Jason Schreier.

You might try to keep track of every new release but you’ll never be able to listen to everything coming from local bands that haven’t managed to make a bigger splash even if they objectively deserve it.

I’m hyperbolising of course with the numbers. It’s a problem in loads of forms of media these days and if you happen to consume couple of different kinds of media / genres then trying to do that means you’ll get swept by never ending tides and discoverability is just part of the problem. We no longer have bandwidth to consume everything that’s worth consuming.

This isn’t some neoliberal conspiracy. Jason Schreier is a respected journalist and given his track record so far there’s no reason for this kind of silly accusations.
