Quite a few of the artists I follow on Xitter have already prepared backup Bluesky accounts.

Here in Hong Kong, we have three official languages: English, Cantonese, and Mandarin (okay, two only if you count Canto and Mandarin as one language, in which case dllm), and all three are taught in schools (Mandarin generally up to grade 9, the rest up to grade 12).

Almost all of us grow up trilingual.

lol

It’s just clever optics deployed by the dinosaur people to hide the truth of their existence!

That is the funniest response I’ve seen all week.

I’d probably grow up hating reading if I was made to read non-fiction in school.

I don’t care.

In your opinion, sure.

If it works for them, then it’s not the wrong tool for the job.

I don’t wear thongs, though I do have an interest in trying. That being said, I think it might be comparable to wearing flip flops; sure you’ll feel it between your toes for a bit, then it stops registering.

I’m just looking through this entire thread, and call me crazy, OP, but you seem angry not more people are using GIMP. You’re quite aggressive about it, attempting to shut down legitimate UI and UX concerns at every corner, and it is genuinely fatiguing to see.

Either in the form of Hong Kong milk tea, boba, sweet lemon tea, or plain and unadulterated.

Everything Everywhere All At Once.

It’s just… really good.

what lie? they told the customer the truth from the beginning, and still agreed to the customer’s demands to work on the problem. they agreed to remove all viruses from the peripherals, which they did, because the peripherals were returned to the customer at the end virus-free.

what scam? the customer wanted them to work on their computer, so they did, and charged the customer accordingly.

The main thing? Optimization. Mobile games are built for mobile, so naturally, graphical stuff like polygon-count, particle effects, texture resolutions, shadow quality, etc. are all toned down to be able to run smoothly on mobile hardware.

Couple that with the vastly smaller screen sizes and the diminishing returns of graphical power to visuals (e.g. visual jump from low shadows to medium is further than medium to high), and you’re getting a fantastic mobile gaming experience for a tiny fraction of the power consumption.

man’s actually taking the piss at OP’s use of “empirical” instead of “imperial”

also, i doubt that measurements of data can be imperial or metric; even Bytes themselves are just measurements of 8 bits.

Simple mathematics. We all share a finite pie; infinite growth cannot happen because it means that people want perpetually larger and larger slices of the same pie; there’s no such thing as “infinite progressivism” because once everyone has an equal slice, it ends.
