Libby is able to sync with your kindle, and then you just choose “send to Kindle” on your phone when checking a book out and the book will appear in your Kindle library.

If you have a Kindle, this is 100% the best way to read books.

I assume that’s why there’s a 95% rejection rate, they’re just fumbling to find any mechanics that haven’t already been used in other games.

You see, when you have a systemic problem with sexual assault, that’s just the status quo, no big deal. Getting called out for it though, crisis!

I was like “Wow, did they roll it back already?”

Wait, you just sold me on Hitman though, where should I start? Is “World of Assassins Part 1” truly a combination of HM1-3? Looks like its only $9 on steam rn

Read the title as Oxycontin and was like “damn, slow down Lemmy”

I’m on fedora 41 and gaming is almost perfect on it, the final hurdles are some VRR

Variable Refresh Rate - synchronizing your monitor’s refresh rate with your computer’s output, yielding a potentially smoother image and, for portable gamers, better battery life. This is a key feature of “Freesync” monitors, etc.

refinements and HDR.

High Dynamic Range - increase in the variability of light levels achievable in a scene, allowing monitors to better approach the dynamic light levels one would experience IRL (In Real Life). This is a key feature of most new displays, especially higher-end OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes, a type of display technology where pixels are individually lit)

These are supposedly coming in f42

Fedora 42 - the 42ndiest version of Fedora.

so I’d rather not wait god knows how long on Debian for these features to show up. However once the features arrive and I run into issues with F42,

Fedora 42 - the 42ndiest version of Fedora.

I’ll consider Deb.

Not an acronym, but abbreviation for Debian. Or perhaps OP lives in a Hallmark movie and Deb is the girl who has always been by their side, but they’ve never considered as a romantic partner… Until now…

Didn’t you see? This is XR, totally different.

Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes on the daydream was a next level of fun with friends. Sad it was abandoned so rudely.

I thought we established this, he’s an Amtrak man, damnit!

You can rent (until your service decides to stop selling that content) and download a DRM-locked copy only playable in one app that’s 1/5 the bitrate. Is that not good enough for you?

What if we include a full screen ad whenever you pause. You’re not watching anyways, what’s the harm?

Oh, also, did you hear about our other content and services? We would like to remind you of all of those every time you start to watch something - we don’t consider them advertisements, just important feature updates, so you can’t remove them.

Aand… you HAVE to be connected to the internet to watch, because we made this really cool AI thing that watches literally everything you do, sends it to our servers, and sometimes happens to recognize which characters are on screen so you can access their IMDB pages through your TV while watching the movie for some reason, like that’s a normal thing people want to interrupt their movie experience to do.

As someone who played a lot of U2:XMP back in the day, I can confirm this is the case. Honestly I’m not sure why Epic killed their master servers, since it seems like something that can run on a toaster in a supply closet, but good that it was relatively easy for the community to reverse engineer and adopt.

If I share profits, then how do I, a lowly CEO, keep all of the profits for myself?

No sharing in Notesnook

It would be amazing if it could have a significant impact on spatial and temporal accuracy of things like rain. I feel like for me the existing weather report is good enough for “it will probably rain tomorrow” but it’s really hit-or-miss when you get to hourly resolution. A good model may be able to go so far as to say “it will probably rain between 3-4pm on the east side of town tomorrow, and 2-3pm on the west side”

That’s the dream at least. With enough data and a sophisticated enough model it feels like it could be possible.

Seems like it may be difficult to prove someone “transitioned before male puberty”. Its not like puberty hits in a day and all of the sudden your voice is deeper and your skin turns bright purple.

There’s a difference between the real-ish-time weather data continuously fed in to output predictions, and the decades of weather data used to build the model. The continuous feed of data is more than likely part of what Google alleges is saving significant energy.

Its the training on decades of information, and occasional updates to those trained models that take a significant amount of resources, but hopefully for relatively short bursts.

I feel this personally, I live in the hills outside of a valley metro. All weather data is forecasted off of valley sensors, but shit gets weird when you suddenly climb 2000+ ft.

The best weather services in my area are those that can factor in peoples household meters into their forecasting, but those services still aren’t perfect.

It’s not just about cutting costs, but also improving accuracy. Physical simulations factor in a dozen or so weather conditions to predict outcomes. Machine learning can track thousands of conditions, drawing connections not realized in physical models, leading to much more accurate statistical models.

Why wouldn’t you eat a cat? It’s less social than a cow or a pig.

Personally, I’m too lazy to hunt, so I just get my meat from Elwood’s (https://www.elwooddogmeat.com/). Hoping they add cat to their lineup one day.
