Fucking stupid timeline we're trapped in

God right? That and profit and lace are absolutely awful

Probably because it's mostly just a QoL update which also restricts people to one family group - which was always the intention but it closes a loophole where person A could share with person B and B could separately share their library with person C unless all three are in the same family group and geo location. Plus there's now a year penalty to switch family group or refill a slot that has been vacated so you really have to commit to it. In many ways it's more restrictive than before, albeit better for the intended use case.

I'm a little bit sad because I shared my library with my brother and niece in other countries in Europe and that's no longer doable. Ah well

Finally getting around to playing Disco Elysium. I know I'm late to the party but holy cow what a trip

I'm the opposite because I've had nothing but bad luck with docker. I should really spend more time with it but ugh

Starfield. Such a sad shitstorm

Debugging (without a MacBook). Webgl 2. WebXR. Local storage not being completely gimped. I'm glad I don't work in that industry anymore, Safari was the bane of my existence...

Good web standards are a threat to the app store (particularly anything to do with ARKit) - not like 3rd party browsers are likely to change that much with the majority of users sticking to defaults, but it might apply some pressure

YES, thank you! You saved me a lot of writing haha

This is spot on and the real advantage of ray tracing - when it becomes the norm it'll look better, provide effects that are extremely difficult or impossible and do so with minimal dev pain.

Not lag, physical pushback from the wheels

True, but sensitivity is only half the story - the direct feedback of a wheel cannot be overstated

It's not just about precision, it's about feedback. Being directly connected with the steering linkage gives valuable feedback about the road and the front wheels - just because handicapped people have an alternative that they may use out of necessity does not mean it's a better solution.

In a fully autonomous car, sure perhaps a simple manual system as a backup makes sense but we aren't there yet. You are talking absolute nonsense, and I can only assume you haven't ever driven a vehicle.

Steering wheels are enormous because that allows fine grain control, which you need at higher speeds. Switching lane at 70mph requires only very slight movement but turning the car around in a street you can go full lock.

A joystick would be fucking TERRIFYINGLY stupid lmao
