I do find myself reading and writing words in dreams quite a lot. I've never seen a clock though, not as far as I can remember.

But sometimes I can even remember signs with street names or banners / short paragraphs.

Dynamic lighting sadly doesn't work tho. Light switches do nothing. For example if I turn on the lights in my bathroom in a dream, I can even hear the bathroom fan turn on, but the room remains dark. Ive heard thst this is apparently quite common though.

It's just incredibly funny that the site that tried to fight spam and ad bots because it harms user experience is now implementing spam and ad bots to harm user experience.

Obviously that's okay because it's their spam and ad bots!

And because they are such black boxes, there's the sector of Explainable AI which attempts to provide transparency.

However, in order to understand data from explainable AI, you still need domain experts that have experience in interpreting what that data means and how to make changes.

It's almost as if any reasonably complex string of operations requires study. And that's what tech marketing forgets. As you said, it all has to come from somewhere.

If only the container was an issue, you would have a direct stream which doesn't impact quality, it just repacks it in a container that is compatible with the client.

You can see the transcode reason on the dashboard by clicking on the i symbol. Start playback on android TV, open jellyfin on your phone and you should see the transcode reason.

Yeah that's just... bad.

The perspective you just outlined makes this policy so mich more ridiculous than it already was.

Game demos (rare as they may be) also won't be possible anymore as it costs the devs money.

This seems to be the new normal though unfortunately.

It's normal that 5-10 percent generational improvement on a product (6800 XT - > 7800 XT) is celebrated and seen as good product, when in reality it's just a little less audacious than what we had to deal with before and with Nvidia.

It's normal that publishers and game studios don't care about how their game runs, even on console things aren't 100 percent smooth or often the internal rendering resolution is laughably bad.

The entire state of gaming at the moment is in a really bad place, and it's just title after title after title that runs like garbage.

I hope it'll eventually stabilize, but I m not willing to spend 1000s every year just to be able to barely play a stuttery game with 60 fps on 1440p. Money doesn't grow on trees, which AAA game studios certainly seem to think so.

Yes GI and baked in RT / PT is expensive, but there need to be alternatives for people with less powerful hardware, at least until accelerators have become so powerful and are common in lower end cards to make it a non issue.

Round and round and round.

It's the same all over again. MS got a slap on their wrists with the browser choice tool they had to introduce in Windows 7.

Then everyone forgot about it and they started forcing Edge on users. Now they get a slap on their wrist again and the same will happen in another 10 years.

Don't get me wrong, it's really awesome and I'm glad that EU regulations actually have a impact. But I still wish for more, more permanent and stricter anti monopoly laws.

It was a really good time when the new chromium edge just came out and was a lean, quick and bs-free browser with a few power user features.

Also probably not the best idea to send the out of office reply in Welsh at a translating service :D

Vertical tabs via extension and userchrome mods in Firefox sadly don't have the polish compared to MS Edge or Vivaldi.

It's fine, but I find it clashing with the browser history sidebar, and being tuned off by default in private tabs.

It can come close, but until (if ever) official support will be provided, It'll always feel like a bandaid fix to me.

For that reason I keep both vertical and horizontal tabs enabled. On other browsers with native support I never missed them, in Firefox however I need both. Relying on sidebar-powered vertical tabs alone is not a good User experience.

I would be shocked if I install an OS and couldn't open media.

Choice is good but giving a direction is also a good idea. Maybe they could introduce a media pack of some sorts.

Screencap / screenshot tools should be included by default tho.

Being a maintainer / project owner is not always fun, but it's rewarding in a sense that you're able to offer something useful to others.

I don't like providing free support via github issues. And that's usually what happens, you don't get many developers that put care into bug reports. Instead it's mostly users that don't really understand, sometimes entitled, sometimes really nice but completely wrong.

However I really appreciate those that do care or at least follow the template and make an effort.

I see issues as a form of a necessity to help the software improve, but I've chosen to no longer pay too much attention to it because it's just draining.

Support is draining, and I respect everyone who does it, those who provide support for free even moreso.

Reading about reddit for me nowadays is like seeing a tech news article for something that doesn't concern me.

It doesn't feel really relevant anymore. I think that's a good thing given that I feel like I can find most of the content I used to go to reddit for on the fediverse. With higher quality even. People seem to be of more diverse options as well, which is great.

Im not sure I agree with that statement.

It's like saying using a computer means that any program on it belongs to the makers of the operating system because you need that to run it. Or every Java program was made by oracle because you need the JVM to run it.

VS Code is its own software (and service nowadays), and yes it builds on chromium in part. But doesn't make the idea, the actual application, i. e. what's on top of chromium or other associated service owned by someone else.

I do agree that many software devs and companies rely on Chromium and thus Google, often too much, and I don't think that's a good idea But they definitely retain ownership of the code and associated functionality on top.

Wireguard through gfw worked fine when I tried it. The other client did have a static IP and static Port tho, that probably helped

I think on windows you can set that in the network driver options irrc. Either in the nic configuration or the ip stack config. I've at least seen it while I was diagnosing network issues a few years back.

My brain once swapped the letters F and L in my head and I typed

iptables -F

Instead of -L.

The standard input policy was drop. It was a VPS and I didn't have access to the management panel. Fun times.
