    Yes, but this time they recently showed off a whole hour of gameplay from the start of SQ42... Which mostly consisted of cutscenes.

    What sets it apart is that on Bluesky you can create your own algorithm. You can also share this algorithm, if you want, so others can subscribe to it. This means you see only what you want to see, and not what some corporate algorithm wants to see to maximise some kind of engagement.

    Moreover, Bluesky is also its own federation. There aren't many who choose to do so, but you can connect to Bluesky using your own domain, which you have complet control over.

    I dunno. I'd say it's more important to see what exactly he's doing and what Bluesky is.

    Right now Bluesky is really good. So until it turns bad I'm sticking to it.

    Collecting information, on the context of third parties. Obviously they have information, otherwise the whole system wouldn't work.

    Makes sense. I've been getting "quests" and adverts about games I don't even own. If Discord was selling data for targeted advertising, the adverts would've been far more... Targeted.

    Still annoying as hell, though, but at least it's limited to my mobile app. I use Vesktop on my computer.

  • This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?
  • Tattorack Tattorack 4d ago 100%
    1. The ball I imagined was made of polished metal and reflected its environment.

    2. A man.

    3. I did not imagine a face. But he was wearing a dark blue business suit with a red striped tie. A watch was on the wrist of the hand that pushed the ball.

    4. About the size of a large orange.

    5. It was a smaller rectangular table made of a dark, varnished wood.

    I'm an artist. I often tend to visualise what I want to draw quite well.

    A pull request, in its most basic form, is the request for a change. The joke is that the change I'd be requesting is to make Gimp more relevant, as there isn't just one feature or quality of life change that Gimp would need.

    My issue with Berman isn't the occasional sexy, skimpy woman on screen. I don't mind that one bit.

    No, my issue is with all the behind the scenes problems they were having with women. Gates McFadden was really disrespected, as just one example.

    That's why I really cringe each time Kurtzman and Co are giving themselves golden stars and patting themselves on the back about things that were either already done in Star Trek before, or are already socially accepted.

    And, moreover, all this so-called progresivism they're doing is an incredibly thin veil wrapped around a ball of generic action sci-fi writing.

    Dude, "Luanti" sounds like a cool name even without knowing its origins.

    This argument is similar to hating on the name "Bionicle" because its origins stem from a combination of "Biological" and "Chronicle".

    You know, with how great and progressive Star Trek is... Uh... The older Trek, mind you... I often wonder how anyone like Berman could even make something like that.

    How could Star Trek continue under Berman and still be Star Trek?

    Hmm... This looks like something that could just work as software on a PC, or as an app on a phone. I'd be surprised if it doesn't already exist.

  • First a definition for this question, because there are many kinds of sci-fi out there and they sometimes liberally use cool sounding words without explaining them: A disruptor is a kind of weapon that weakens, or "disrupts", either material bonds (breaking a material into molecules), molecular bonds (breaking a molecule into atoms), or atomic bonds (breaking an atomic nucleus into protons, netrons, and free electrons. Almost like instantly turning into plasma). Temperature can do these things, but the idea behind a disruptor, specifically, is that it happens through some kind of catalyst, rather than brute-forcing with insane amounts of heat. Would such a weapon physically be possible (even if we don't know how to make them just yet)? How would a target realistically behave when hit by a disruptor?

    So, I have a Steelseries M800 keyboard and a Corsair mouse. Unfortunately neither of them are supported by Open RGB, and so I'm stuck with my RGB making rainbows. Well, sort of. My keyboard still has the configuration it had from when I still used Windows over 2 years ago. But my mouse does not. I use an XP Pen tablet for making art, and the official driver from XP Pen doesn't come with any options to adjust and calibrate the screen's colours, but I managed to figure out how to access these hardware settings through command line. Now this has me wondering if it's possible to do the same for my keyboard and mouse.

    I have a 2nd generation XP Pen Artist 13. It's a great tablet and I've managed to make it work with my Steam Deck too. But... It's basically an external monitor with pressure sensitive surface, so still less portable than an actual stand alone table. So I'm wondering if there is a tablet with a pressure sensitive screen and battery free pen that either comes with Linux or can install Linux on. The programs I use for making art are Krita, Gimp, and Blender 3D.

    There are many other bee species that can sting Humans and survive, but the European honeybee has a barbed stinger, so it cannot remove the stinger once it's stung. In attempting to remove the stinger the bee will rupture its lower abdomen and then die. Why? What is the evolutionary advantage to that?

    Recently discovered The Art of Noise by looking up Max Headroom. Found a bunch of tracks I like that fit well with my already existing Spotify playlists. However, I want to find more music like three of the dance tracks on the album Dreaming. specifically like the tracks "Colour Red", "Colour Maroon", and "Colour White". Any recommended tracks/albums/artists?

    I want to get back into reading, so I'm thinking of getting a Paperwhite. But I have no idea if it's possible to transfer files to it from a computer, and I have no experience with pirating books. Do I go to the same places I torrent movies and games or are there special places dedicated to E-Books? EDIT: So many awesome answers on here! You guys have been very helpful. Thanks a lot!
