it’s hard to get a permanent teaching position in China, i’m sure shipping “qualified” teachers to teach the kids XJT won’t be very difficult. Not dystopian at all…

Napoleon was held in British custody.

I think he was at the very least rather gifted in some ways. Then his brain declined and then declined again and again. Substances + alcohol + covid fog + aging?

think not, you`ll get it from JW story.

You could buy any Asus gaming mouse with user replaceable switches and order a bag of Huano silent switches from AE. (if the noise increases or the switch dies just replace the switc+h)

This is not a cheap option, but could potentially endure for a longer time.

Forget Wine for GW2. If you are lazy just install Steam & add GW2 as an external game to run with Proton.

If you are not lazy, then install Bottles, give it permissions to the correct GW2 folder with Flatseal & then download the soda 7 runner in Bottles settings. After all this make a default gaming bottle, then change the runner in that bottle to soda 7, enable latency flex to lower the latency at the cost of slightly lower average fps & play. (7 is better than 8-9 for GW2)

(Bottles has some minor advantages over Steam & you don’t have to run the rather vram heavy & slow Steam client)

Chrome needs to be reinstalled every once in a while for some reason, or it will underperform.

Consistent illumination and shadows is a rabbit hole we really don’t want to hop into.

Outside of very obvious anomalies even a trained eye will have a hard time discerning what’s going on.

Mozilla, please refocus the resources to improve performance, or let FF disappear!

This whole thing with the private data collection is meaningless, if the browser is increasingly niche.

Spent 5 minutes thinking about this just now and it seems plausible to me. That person has yet to give a reason to doubt them kind of reasoning…

The bag shaming culture in east Asia has to die, I still find it hard to believe ppl are so stupid.

I’ll just use invidious, it’s a bit of a chore to use, but it’s increasingly worth it.

Adding government ID to their data would hardly be anymore of a privacy invasion

Are you listening to yourself?

Photoshop has unmatched tools to get work done 15 to 30 times faster than Gimp. This does not apply to everything of course and in some niche stuff Gimp’s even faster. However what I use Photoshop for, such as removing unwanted distractions like trash cans, trash, overhead electric cables and such Gimp is like 30 years behind. It’s not realistic that someone would spend many minutes just selecting hair outline in Gimp.

Ultimately developing these tools has cost evil Adobe many millions of dollars. 1-3 extremely talented and enthusiastic programmers cannot compete with this. Then again in the near future we will either not need Photoshop anymore, or open source projects like Gimp or a more open minded fork could use Ai generated code to develop similar automated tools.

Hungary is not unique, Orban is just very loud. There are several countries in the EU where getting an Orban voted in is a real danger & it just happened in Slovakia as well.

This is the equivalent of kicking the US out of everything if they voted Trump…

Celeste, Hollow Knight, Talos Principle, Hyper Light Drifter…

I just wish he lived a healthier life.

Many retro games are better. AA games were made with heart back then & that made it possible to make games that are incredible both in terms of artistry, grandeur and gameplay. Games like Baldur’s Gate 1-2, Chrono Cross etc are not possible in today’s climate.

On the other hand we have been handed indie games like Celeste and Hollow Knight, so I don’t know. Amazing games still exists, it’s just not really comparable.

I don’t play my alts anymore, but used to just fly with exotics, it’s fine.
