You are right and I am embarrassed.

I'm tired of every game having ghosting and soft images because of TAA, DLSS, motion blur, LoD pop-in, and low res textures. What are some good games with high visual clarity? Bonus points if it runs at high fps.

12 has more divisibles than 10.

12, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1

10, 5, 2, 1

Some suspect 12 was picked because you can more easily divide up into more useful time chunks.

Edit: you wrote this in your comment and I missed it somehow.

"The space researcher was allegedly randomly checked on arrival, during which his professional computer and personal telephone were allegedly searched. Similarly, messages about the Trump administration’s treatment of scientists have been found."

This might come off as pretensions, but you should trust the writers more. The movie, and book, are very well written, and if something doesn't make sense, you should consider that you missed something.

I'll say this, Llewelyn Moss is not the main character. The movie doesn't start or end on him. He doesn't change or evolve as a character. How he died isn't the point.

It helps to focus on what Anton Chigurh said about rules, and what the Sheriff says about what he is willing to die for.

If you want me to just spell out the theme, I can do that to, but I think you would enjoy it more if you trust the movie.

Best ideas I got are random captchas, make lemmy invite only, and/or set up some sort of verification system.

Maybe the captcha failure rates visible on a user profile. These tactics can scare off new users but letting lemmy get taken over could be worse than doing nothing.

I watched twitter slowly get flooded with bots. I don't want the same to happen here.

Lots of LLM bots today. We may need to start verifying accounts :/

Like 10,000 dolphins were killed in the black sea in 2022 because of sonar.

When your enemy has strategic nukes, the extreme ways to respond are:

A, not taking the nuclear threat seriously.

B, give up.

Saying we shouldn't arm Ukraine because of nukes is close to option B.

Nukes may go off, but if arming Ukraine is the trigger, than we were likely to witness nuclear war because we wouldn't accept option B, rather than any weapon system giving Ukraine an advantage. If that is the case, nuclear war has most likely already been decided.

The real game is to make those in Russia believe that backing down works towards their goals. If they hope in 20 years the US will fall apart, they may wait, or maybe someone will kill Putin and take over Russia, being rewarded by less sanctions.

Long story short, nuking Ukraine don't benifit Russia more than it will hurt it.

I am not an expert

My partner and I love Halloween but our community has few activities besides a couple of haunted houses. We're considering spending Halloween week somewhere more festive and are looking for some recommendations. We both grew up in the Midwest with corn mazes and night markets, but we are open to spending time in Mexico for Day of the Dead. What are your suggestions?

I tried SimpleX but the VPN kill switch on my phone prevents syncing with my computer.

I use telegram primarily as a note taking app with sync features.

Occasionally I send files to friends, so having easy set up for tech illiterate would be great.

I was considering getting a LG G5. Some models support an older version of LineageOS and I love the replaceable battery.

What do you recommend?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

I consider this comment naive. Microsoft selling a powerful arm based handheld might be extremely successful and totally viable. They have already done the rnd for x86 backwards compatibility on arm and have a close relationship with Qualcomm.

General info: Looking to get current attic ventilator fan replaced. The attic is about 1400 sq. ft. Current attic ventilation fan is a foot from the ridge of the roof. Live in USA.

Handyman wants: To install two 1500 CFM fans. Two 120 volt 20amp dedicated circuits, one for each fan. He wants to install the second fan 4 feet away from the current fan. He stated that the attic ventilator fan would need to be replaced within 6 years.

My questions: Would two fans be better than one fan? Would I need two 120 volt circuits to run two fans? Is there an attic ventilator that has a user replaceable fan?

Thank you in advance for any help.

I believe they hate him because he's perfect, which is ironic since at at a bomb factory, you particularly don't want duds.

The issue isn't interviewing Putin, but that this whole event is propaganda. The BBC has been trying to get an interview since the start of the war.

I'm surprised that there isn't an open source guide on how to be an effective eco terrorist and what the most vulnerable global chock points are. People have gone to war over less.
