in theory voting through mail would be easier, but in practice it's a nightmare. i needed absentee ballots for two elections when i was away for school- one arrived late and one didn't arrive at all! much easier to just do in-person voting in my experience

everyone is quick to takes sides here but to me this just feels like a sad situation all around. i can see why the original translators thought that closing the repo was essentially revoking permission. i can also see why eadmaster saw the GPL license as explicit permission, and that closing the repo meant they weren't working on it anymore. i hope cooler heads prevail because it would be a loss to the community if anyone involved were to take their ball and leave

the article is more about AAA games than consoles, and i agree with the article's takeaway. graphical improvements have been an Emperor's New Clothes situation for about a decade for me now. the reason we have those hundred hour AAA games is because with today's technology, the only advantage big studios have over indies is sheer volume of content. people are starting to wise up to that more and more and those studios will have to find a different way to justify those massive budgets and price tags or simply go under

as for consoles, though? i think the average PC gamer underestimates the value of things Just Working to the vast majority of customers. PCs themselves are having a tough time against smartphones and chromebooks and computer literacy is decreasing from gen z to gen alpha as a result. the seeming failure of the newer xbox and playstation has more to do with the aforementioned dying AAA market and the fact that they've become dumbed-down gaming PCs themselves instead of Just Working. the Switch successor will probably not be great but still sell gangbusters because Nintendo is monopolizing the market on Just Works, even if just barely!

if it's just a phase, we can simply modulate the frequency of the subharmonic phase generator. and reverse the polarity of the deflector dish if that doesn't work

i'm really interested to see where this goes. i feel like a lot of the dorks (i say affectionately as a dork) who use the fediverse and people who do this kinda shortform video are two circles that don't touch, so this could very well die on the vine- no pun intended- or it could give the fedi the jolt it needs to enter the mainstream

i totally get that, although being able to resub to all the same categories beats starting from scratch entirely somewhere else. my experience at fedia.io has been great so far
