The most requested Vertical Tabs will make an appearance in the upcoming Firefox. The feature can now be turned on in Nightly itself without the need to rely on third-party extensions or separate Nightly builds.
A tight grid beats getting lost in barely two dozen tabs at a time, scrolling horizontally and having no idea where it begins or ends. You'd need a thousand tabs in one window to take up even 500px vertically.
and no we will not interrogate what leads them to stealing food. material conditions? what’s that?
Some people are just assholes. They can be in the same general situation as you, but not respect boundaries, and in the absence of consequence they'll be downright sociopathic.
Anyone generalizing from those assholes to absolutely everyone is not being serious. But that's not an excuse to ignore those exceptions and insist absolutely everyone is reasonable.
See Flash websites ripping each other off for five years on either side of Youtube's introduction.
See Bittorrent moving more video than Netflix until like 2012.
See twenty years of web-based P2P experiments. Weirdos with fat hard drives (hi) will always be happy to seed.
Or - crazy thought - services could cost money. It would not take much. Youtube's not getting ten bucks each time you watch a video. Bandwidth and storage keep getting cheaper. Nor are they paying for content, unlike Netflix and so on, and those fuckers are also considering ads.
The C++ feature set is a giant tome written in an unsteady hand and bound with suspicious leather. You're supposed to study it deeply, use as little as possible, and ideally have a backup plan if things go wrong for this plane of existence.
Give it another year, and this sort of project will materialize directly through video AI nonsense. There won't be a years-long journey from excited fanfiction to artistic involvement to corporate interest to maybe becoming a real thing. The original cluster of obsessives will do it themselves.
Idiot executives think generative networks mean they can type in a premise and extrude entertainment product. (They probably can, but if that's the case, so can you. Try selling ice to someone with a fridge.) What's going to transform the industry is scribbling a rectangle onto a landscape photo, saying "this is a Roman legion," and having it be so. The word "transform" might be overly polite. For example, a forest is transformed by fire. We're looking at a very near future where you can MS Paint a helmet onto a dude and have it become as photorealistic as any costume. And doing it on one frame carries across the entire shot.
It looks nice enough, overall, but the process ate some details. Didn't the remaster itself already bodge that on some assets? Like naive upscaling and smoothing mangled the text on a label.
It is a crying shame they couldn't find the original Lightwave files, because modern computers could knock them out in 8K in like five minutes.
You know what it means, god dammit. There's jobs anyone can fake with a week of training and there's jobs that need six years of school to not kill people.
I bought a laptop yesterday, it came pre-installed with Windows 11. I hate win 11 so I switched it down to Windows 10, but then started considering using Linux for total control over the laptop, but here's the thing: I keep seeing memes about how complicated or fucky wucky Linux is to install and run. I love the idea of open...
You can do wild shit that's barely possible with any other tools.
You can feed in images instead of text, or alongside it, and turn blobby sketches into photoreal renders.
You can describe contradictory nonsense and get a decent effort to square the circle.
You can keep saying more, more, more, and get exaggerations revealing an adjective's visual essence.
... but yeah, folks keep posting "woman naked anime" five hundred brainless images at a time. So few people are even making comics with this shit. Do they not understand each panel is its own little drawing? You piece together what you need. Story exists in the edit. Not even the people with a paragraph of "Remember, if you lose--" dialog in ev-er-y fucking image have figured out they can just show that now.
Era can be defined as a console generation, a decade, one specific year, whatever you want. I’d encourage you to give a list of your favourite games from the generation of choice and why it was the best to you. Nostalgia is a totally viable reason too....
Late 90s PC, because anything was possible. 2D? Yeah, go wild, it'll be fast. 3D? Software rendering is the wild west! Voxels, polygons, texturing, raycasting, every game looks unique because they're all making it up as they go. Even consoles were on PC because emulation was faster and better than owning a PSX or N64.
These were not the best games of all time. Most sucked. You can get a taste of that in PC Gamer demo discs, or like half of Civvie11's videos. But it was an era where nothing was easy, so people reached for the fucking stars.
1980s 2D had the same "every machine sucks uniquely" vibe as 1990s 3D. If the same game on two platforms looked remotely similar then someone busted their hump getting it right. By default, you were getting a game that looked and sounded as good as this system could manage, rather than being a smoothed-over downgrade of some canonical example.
Ironically it wasn't always a great era for pick-up-and-play-ability. Late-70s games were so limited that arcade sensibilities were nearly the only thing possible, and even text-centric computer games lacked the memory to bore you with backstory. By the late 80s they could push the early inklings of an unskippable cutscene and a tutorial level. Dunno if that's better than ZX Spectrum games getting mercilessly sink-or-swim.
Coincidentally that arcade vibe also matches the late 90s: it's how most Dreamcast games feel.
Just eyeballing the linked image... it looks like most of them agree?
The bias almost certainly exists, according to nearly all analysis here. They just disagree on its magnitude. And for the most part they don't disagree by much.
