I find it works really well (as a combo with stick) for FPS games on the steamdeck, feels a bit closer to mouse & keyboard in precision

Give me the Steam Deck layout sans screen and I'll buy several.

This, they should include gyro too ideally if that doesn't go without saying

Huh, didn't know I understood German

Lol, wait until that lot finds out that republicans lie through their teeth about their merits

Conservatism always hurts the economy

Mustard is a bit exotic for mail readers isn't it?

TBF those streaming sites are usually the lowest common denominator, run by people who are just trying to make as much ad money as they can before they get caught or shut down.

When one shuts down, another inevitably pops up—it's been this way for a couple of decades. No site ever lasts longer than a couple of years tops, it's just a way too obvious way of doing things to not get caught eventually

Generally it's best to go with a download based approach anyway (or one of the streaming approaches that doesn't involve a web browser), given the quantity of shitty ads and tracking those sites have on them.

Well that and CUDA still means a load of professionals in various fields are stuck using Nvidia whether they like it or not. This means data centers are incentivised to go with Nvidia if they want those customers, which ultimately means if someone gonna work on code/tools that run in those data centers, you want the same architecture on your local machine for development and testing.

It's getting better, but the gap is still real. Hopefully the guys that are working on SCALE can actually get it working on the CDNA GPUs one day, since data centers are where a lot of the CUDA is running or perhaps the UDNA stuff AMD just announced will enable this.

The fact this is all hinging on the third party that develops SCALE, should highlight that AMD still doesn't seem to be playing the same game as Nvidia, which is why we're still in this position.

Twitter is now the most actively harmful with the widest reach, by a large margin

It is categorically worse than the Meta services because they still at least maintain a veneer of moderation.

Don't get me wrong, I agree they all are bad. But it's should be the priority of everyone reasonable to end the reach of Twitter ASAP given the damage it's causing.

Bluesky represents a departure from both X/Twitter and Meta, and should be encouraged. Yes it would be great if everyone was heading to Mastodon, but don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

The goal is to make Twitter irrelevant as quickly as possible

A lot of popular YouTubers use the same couple of libraries too

That would make the site look a lot less popular and tank the share price

Hell, I'm of the opinion that they run some of the bots themselves

 

Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.

A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.

The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".

But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.

Why aren't there adult only flights? (self.casualconversation)

Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it's incredibly lucky if they don't spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I'm not going to rant too hard about that.

Why on earth hasn't any airline started marketing adult-only flights?

It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.

Disclaimer: I may or may not be on a 36h day with only an hour of sleep right now

As someone who's been a wasps fan for decades, this is finally some positive news after what has felt like a very long silence!

Now I wonder where the ground they mention is going to be

I've just started Return to the Obra Dinn, so far really liking the art style and the main game mechanics. I'm interested to see how the story unfolds as it seems to be taking a "memento" style reverse chronological approach to telling it.

Also still playing Halls of Torment as ever since Vampire Survivors, one of these top down roguelite shoot-em-up games has been in my rotation.

Oh and I nearly forgot, also started pizza tower, but only dipped my toe into that one so far. Really enjoy the art and platforming mechanics so far.
