Amateurs...

  • Would matter in pretty much any game where one player's actions can affect the other player and position is important.

    SA:MP back in the day had such shit netcode you had to shoot a significant distance ahead of a running player or nothing would happen to them. It was the shot receicing player's client that had to detect the shot. In games where the server determines what happened to you, 100ms means there's 100 milliseconds where you don't even know you're dead. That said, unless you're playing competitive, 100ms is still borderline okay. Near 200 it's horrible already.

    Now something like a game of Civ? You could have an entire second and be OK.

  • Mate the 4 year old could just hire a lawyer like everyone else does. Why does the government need to help her? She was already born, now she should pull herself up by the bootstraps instead of asking for handouts.

  • Oh I can almost see the logic - It's like an append-only log, you only add to it, the original text is still original

    Except amendments can override existing parts, so in reality, the US was born May 7th 1992 and judging by its age and personality, was likely a Vine star for a while.

  • Wikipedia's summary of an article interviewing him and other studio members pretty much says he actually doesn't support Israel and in fact felt disgusted about having had feelings of anger for the Palestinian protestors who killed 2 Israeli soldiers in 2000. And he pretty much says that in the game he wanted the player to go on a similar emotional rollercoaster.

    He supposedly also donated to emergency response teams on both sides of the conflict

    I honestly had no idea who the dude was until now as I'm not really a PlayStation guy, but I'm not sure he's much of a zionist. He was born in an Israeli settlement and it's certainly shaped him in some ways, but has he ever voiced support for the genocide?

  • i have no clue who this guy is,

    Well essentially, he's one of the most qualified guys to turn straight males gay. I know that because I'm a straight dude and it's basically him and Henry Cavill that I have a mancrush on. That's the complete list.

    Anyway, things you may have seen, or heard of, where he's played a role, ordered from least important character to most: Game of Thrones, Narcos, The Last of Us, The Mandalorian and he's set to play Mister Fantastic in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie.

    Most importantly, he's just a very charming actor who seems like a great down to earth guy. Might be because it took him about a decade and a half to score his first moderately big role, rather than reaching peak fame at the age of 20. Bits I just found out while fact-checking myself: He also has a queer best friend (Sarah Paulson) and his little sister is a trans rights activist who says he's been hugely supportive.

    Polygraphs are bullshit, but this is a fun watch.

    TL;DR: One of the coolest/nicest people in Hollywood

  • Yeah, see my edit. While he's spoken out in defense of Israel, he does also have a track record of opposing injustice where he sees it even if it doesn't affect him or people in his own ethnic, religious or other groups.

  • He's also pro-Israel and at this point in time, I reckon that zionists are morally on a similar level to nazis, and David Schwimmer does support them. Or at least he was at an ADL event recently and I don't think I've heard him say genocide is bad?

    However, the comment a couple of levels up is incorrect. Upon just a little bit of research, I've discovered Schwimmer has also attended BLM protests, and has spoken out against violence against women as well. Which means he does actually care about injustice and I'm gonna have to add a disclaimer to my previous comment.

    Anyway, my comment in its original form was meant as mostly anti-rich-celebrity. To be clear, I'm anti-zionist too, but not antisemitic and never meant to come across that way. My thought process was that anyone living in America who truly cares about injustice in general should be worried about injustice against black people and latinos first and foremost, other ethnicities and religions second, so anyone who only wakes up when it's injustice against Jews, is probably either a bit self-centered, or outright zionist. Well, David Schwimmer clearly didn't JUST wake up, he's been woke for a long time now. To be clear, I mean that as a good thing.

  • Man in my country the trash burger joints (the burgers are good they just look or feel nothing like classical burgers, they put in a ton of salad and shit to make it bigger) used to do 1.80 and such. The most famous one did a gigantic one for I think 2.50 back in.... 2013. Same burger now is 6.50

    In our case the minimum salary has nearly tripled, so it's kinda OK, but it's kinda sad that economic growth is just canceled out by rising prices.

  • He's also rich and Jewish, probably doesn't give a fuck about any injustice unless it's antisemitism.

    Edit: so it turns out he's spoken out against injustice plenty of times before, when it wasn't about Jews. He even lobbied to get more non-white people on Friends, such as his character's Asian-American girlfriend. It's not all disingenious with him, even though his support of Israel is regretful.

  • Now I'm not an American and definitely not a Latino, but I've heard there's a huge amount of Latinos who hate Latinos and want them all to stay out of the country (I.e fuck you, got mine), which is part of why they vote republican. Also all the Cuban refugees who really hate Cuba so they also vote republican just to make sure democrats don't ease the sanctions on Cuba - which are of course making life hard for people who have not yet escaped Cuba. Hell I bet without the sanctions a lot of people wouldn't be leaving it in the first place.

    If all that is true, honestly, this is a peak leopards eating faces moment.

  • I've been out of school for a decade now, but honestly at least when I was playing Hill Climb Racing, I shut the fuck up and didn't disturb others. Otherwise I'd just be blabbering with my friends and that's a much bigger issue for other students.

    I graduated with pretty much all 5s and just one or two 4s. Our scale goes up to 5. So it's not like I was a dumbass who just refused to learn. You just can't give a fast learner with ADHD the textbook and expect him to not know all of the course material a week in. It's changed now, but my teenage brain was capable of processing enormous amounts of new information really fast (except subjects that were straight up memorization of facts, like history). I had literally nothing to do in class after the first week or 2 of a course.

    Does the southern hemisphere get colder farther from the pole? Why?

    So I was looking at google maps while working because of course I was. I'm not even kidding when I say that I was wondering if there's some nice place far enough south to experience 18+ hours of sunlight and nice weather in the southern summer as we do here in the northern summer in Estonia. But when I took a look, the closest thing would be the southernmost tip of Chile, which apparently is pretty cold in the (southern hemisphere) summer. And just a few more degrees south, we have Antarctica. Here, you go a few more degrees north and you just get Finland.

    I was wondering what the reasoning is - is it something inherent to the Earth's orbit around the sun, or is it due to the shapes of the continents, the ocean currents, etc?

    Edit: Many great answers here. Thank you!

    Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat?

    Now that Stop Killing Games is actually being taken seriously - maybe we need to take a look at Stop Fucking Around In Our Kernels

    I haven't really been personally affected by it before - I don't play any competitive multiplayer games at all. But my wife had her brother over, and he's significantly younger than us. So he wanted to play FortNite and GTA V, knowing I have a gaming PC. FortNite is immediately out of the question, it'll never work on my computer. Okay, so I got GTA V running and it was fun for a while, but it turns out all of those really cool cars only exist in Online. But oh look, now they've added BattlEye and I can no longer get online.

    While this seems like a trivial issue (Just buy a third SSD for Windows and dual boot), it's really not. Even if I wanted to install Windows ever again, I do NOT want random 3rd party kernel modules in there. Anyone remember the whole CrowdStrike fiasco? I do NOT want to wake up to my computer not booting up because some idiot decided

    How do you stop making excuses?

    I'm sure many of you are familiar with the issue of making excuses for everything. I don't just mean excusing your unfinished chores by saying "I have ADHD", I mean excuses and fabrications in general - at work, you might say you're nearly finished with a project, but really you're halfway done at best, at home you might say you couldn't start the dishwasher because of how angry your pregnant wife was at you for choosing the wrong program on the washing machine, so you were scared to start the dishwasher - fully ignoring the fact that you were supposed to start the dishwasher BEFORE even being confronted about the washing machine. The last one is a stupid example, but it happened an hour ago and it's a pattern I hate about myself.

    If you've had a similar issue and identified it, what has helped you improve yourself? I may never be perfect to the point I'll get everything done that I need to, but I'd like to at least stop making stupid excuses that just bring up fights that could've be

    How to set up Podman with NVIDIA GPU acceleration and macvlan networking on Gentoo

    cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/2871450

    Getting GPU acceleration working is a common task for those of us running Plex or Jellyfin. There is not much documentation for getting the NVIDIA container stack to work with Podman, even less on Gentoo, plus there have been a lot of changes to NVIDIA's container toolkit lately.

    I have been fighting with Podman for a while now and just recently got it working 1:1 with my Docker setup. Gentoo may not be the most popular or easy to use distro but I documented it in case some poor soul runs across it searching the web.

    Feel free to poke holes in it or leave feedback.

    How long have you been using Gentoo? Linux in general?

    And why do you prefer it over other distros?

    Welcome to a new unofficial Gentoo Linux community

    There was already a Gentoo community on Lemmy, however it hasn't had any activity in 2 years and since Lemmy's popularity has exploded in recent days, I figured it might be time for a new one with active moderation.

    Anyone reading this likely already knows what Gentoo is, but on the off-chance that someone completely unfamiliar with Gentoo clicks on this thread, here's a quick primer. Gentoo Linux is essentially a meta-distribution. You're given a package manager (Portage) that builds your packages from source, and some useful command line utilities. Other than that, you get your choice of everything - systemd or OpenRC? X11 or Wayland? Gnome, KDE or some other desktop manager? Or none at all? All up to you. Now of course, Arch provides you the same freedom of choice, but Gentoo's party trick is the local compilation - you can have the compiler optimize everything for your particular CPU's instructio
