For some people, using windows in a VM might also be a good fallback, specially for older and/or lightweight software.

Anything to do with hw, non-steam gaming or heavy applications might be a hit or miss

What layout is this? Qwertz?

The banana republics? The monoculture? The fact the ones in supermarket taste bland and it costs and arm and leg if you want one that tastes good?

Take your pick

MIDI protocol for users might be good enough but for developers is a nightmare if you want to do advanced synthesis

🧷 Safety pin. There has been a little change in the safety cap but that’s to save material not functionality or manufacturing.

The entire process is the same:

1. Take wire, cut it
2. Smash one end flat
3. ?? (Bend the wire and fold the smashed end)
4. Profit

Had to reinstall Windows XP one time too many

We should have shared lanes between freight trains and cars, without any signalling or crossing. Everyone should share

The American South (several institutions, not necessarily the ppl) will attempt to make any minor issue as the root cause of the Civil War, except for the slavery issue.

Afterall, slavery and racism wasn’t that ingrained in the society. If you look past the court cases, extra judicial killings, lynching, riots, coups and massacres.

China, Russia, Syria, Belarus aren’t seeing any increased authoritarianism. It is the same for decades

Unfortunately I can’t seem to refill my tank by passing in excess electricity. Pretty sure I can recharge the battery more than 10 times and get more energy over lifetime of usage

MSAA has issues with a lot of transparency and high frequency textures. Both of these are important in pushing the upper limit of quality.

TAA based methods are more smeary but also have a higher ceiling for the same content.

Lot of teams understood where MSAA is a bad fit and designed content unlike that. Sadly TAA techniques are worked around that easily for a myriad of reasons (including lack of incentive to QA)

He had bone spurs. Maybe that trauma caused him some form of memory loss

I’ve noticed that instead of a slow change in the right direction, people prefer drastic action even if it’s in the wrong direction.

Voting in fascism to power is super obvious under this observation

Feels like a comment in ask historians, but in the memespace

JA has a tight grip on rice in Japan. Add to that the insistence of JP govt to not import rice in almost all circumstances and you can guess that the rice market in Japan is almost disconnected from the global rice markets

A big road having bike lanes is perfectly fine. Moreover it’s encouraging to see people talking of putting bike lanes for commuters. But that’s a bikeable area, not a walkable one. And these 2 make sense in diff situations.

As long as kids and old people are able to walk or slow cycle most places, unsupervised (in a 20-40 minute radius around their homes), I’m happy with that. A place suitable for these 2 demographics is walkable for almost everyone else as well.

Fast cycling isn’t really compatible with walkable culture. It needs some level of infrastructure for separation (lanes, lights, crossings, etc) to prevent collisions. I don’t understand the fascination with fast cycling for anything except for sports, exercise or long distance travel.

Slow cycling and walking don’t need any such infrastructure and that’s commonly considered as a walkable area. It brings roughly 1 km radius in a 5-10 minute zone and that’s enough area for at least 60-70% of required facilities (school, police station, fire station, hospital, groceries, bakery, shopping, transit stops).

I feel it’s hard to find places which are walkable but not bikeable (outside of the USA)

A walkable grocery store is at max a 10-15 mins from the house (in my opinion). This allows you to just pop in and buy stuff while coming from the public transport stop without having to schedule big trips for the entire week/month.
