I use Firefox with uBlock Origin on Android. Isn't there the same for iOS?

Unity May Never Win Back the Developers It Lost in Its Fee Debacle in c/technology

John Riccitello literally called developers "fucking idiots" in an interview, so yeah, it's the second option.

I've been using git with Unity for 6 years and it works fine. Merge conflicts with scenes are painful, sure, but I guess that's just the way it is. In my use-case there weren't many conflicts.

State on PC? in c/totk

[–] Postcard64 2 points 10 months ago

Same here. For the fog issue/weird textures in front of the camera, I found that unequiping my armor fixes it. Or sometimes equiping another weapon. But it's really rare anyway.

I also has a weird issue with the entire overword being covered in shadow, which was fixed by deleting the shader cache. But that was over a month ago, maybe the newer version of yuzu doesn't even have this issue anymore.

That was way too recent. And it wouldn't affect the users of GPT directly, only the training, which wasn't using super-recent data to begin with anyway.

Made me laugh, but strictly speaking, CO2 is fungible (interchangeable), but human lives aren't.

Lutsk is not in Sweden. It's in Ukraine.

After this happened, GitHub added a Download button to their for preview pages. So they themselves considered it was enough of a problem/inconvenience to not have a download button.

Would A Wireless Shower Head Use Hydrogen? in c/showerthoughts

I guess it would be like a dehumidifier. It sucks existing water vapor out of the air.

Steam On Linux(1.96%) Usage Spikes To Nearly 2% In July, Larger Marketshare Than Apple macOS(1.84%) in c/linux_gaming

[–] Postcard64 11 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I'm not seeing anyone comment on the last paragraph of the article, so I'll paste it here.

With the SteamOS / Steam Deck monthly numbers not showing any magnificent gains, I am curious over this 0.5% increase for Linux gaming overall and whether it's genuine.

The likely explanation is when looking at the demographics and seeing Steam by Chinese users dropping 3.4% while the English usage picked up by 3.4%. Chinese gamers and reporting differences there have previously vastly swayed Steam statistics in prior months.

So this might just be a maths artifact.

2023 Belgian Grand Prix - [RACE] discussion thread in c/formula1

The cooldown room audio is so much better now, and has been for the past 3 or 4 races. I'm glad they fixed that.
