20 years holy crap. I remember playing this in the school cafeteria with the crew, was some good gaming

I’ve been using this Qobuz client for Linux, it’s electron but seems to handle HiFi - at least to my untrained ears.

I’d go even further back, with hindsight. During the us elections 2016 it became basically transparent the platform was being manipulated, and it wasn’t very sophisticated at that time. It’s really only evolved since then - but there used to be real people to call out the BS.

All before we even get to the corporate fiefdom spez has decided he’d like reddit to be.

As bots and sponsored content crowd the internet, Reddit is often seen as a more reliable source of information, and its popularity has exploded in the past couple of years.

Lmfao reading articles like this makes me feel like I’m living in the upside down. The entire site is bots posting content for bots to updoot and comment. Yet here they are getting glazed as “the last site for authentic connection”. Give me a fucking break.

Every single one of them has a timecard they’re punching with a name, collective punishment against the entire agency should be on the table.

Even those sitting back behind a desk pushing paperwork are enabling the thugs in the streets.

I dont know the specific answer unfortunately, I suspect there is another layer to the caching story with Proton/Wine Prefixes/DXVK in Linux. If the translation layer gets an update independent of the graphics driver, that could maybe also cause a cache invalidation to occur. I notice that behavior more often when I’m using Proton Experimental.

Shaders have to be processed when the video drivers are updated, and time to process will depend from game to game, how many shaders there are. After they are processed, shaders can be cached and recalled without a performance hit. But the cache will be invalidated after a driver update.

If you skip preprocessing, you may see a hitch the first time a shader is used in a game scene. Like if you pick up a gun that shoots blue flames, and the game hasn’t used the blue flames before - it has to process that immediately before displaying the blue flames - which takes a split second.

This realtime impact can be small or large, depending how many shaders load into a scene simultaneously. Loading a new map with lots of unique textures and unprocessed shaders is generally when you’ll see the big hitches as it scrambles to compile them.

NYC was very windy when I visited and the direction would change between blocks. Made using an umbrella a bit of a pain. The buildings created more like a tunnel effect than blocking it.

Yeah basically new game modes. Rocket Racing is an arcade racer, Fortnite Festival is a rock band like rhythm game, both are entirely independent from battle royale but still integrated into fortnite eco system with skins and characters going between them. This is the metaverse vision that Sweeney never stops talking about coming to fruition.

https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is another good resource to consult, I actually mostly use this site these days. As long as anticheat isn’t involved, I reasonably assume proton will run the game wonderfully.

I love topgrade, fantastic piece of software.

What are you buying?

Groceries, maybe I can swing something during the winter sale.

That’s a very specific and interesting exclusion, weird. Well sorry dude, best of luck finding something that works.

I use notesnook but I don’t self host, just the app locally. It has an option to insert a task list into the note, and that has drag and drop reordering. It also encrypts at rest, and has text search. Hope that helps your decision.

August 2024

That sounds wonderful! I remember trying to juggle two jobs and it was damn near impossible because both demanded full availability for part time work, leading to their late-released schedules conflicting constantly. Eventually one fired me after i came in late from the other. My next role I set very clear boundaries coming in that “main job” would have first dibs, luckily that place was flexible enough to accommodate the shifting schedules.

Kind of a weird thing to press amazon specifically on, any hourly job I’ve had basically gave the next week’s schedule the thursday before… No fancy algorithm needed, just slow managers.

Edit - I’m trying to say this behavior is rampant. Amazon is a good start, now write some laws for everyone else.

With the decline of search, web banners could come back in style!

Nova is ridiculously big shoes to fill, but I’ve had a decent experience with hyperion.

I mostly use Niagara these days though, I’ve come to like the list layout more than icon grids.
