It really does read like an ad, which is amusingly ironic since linux mint is free.

I personally disagree, Bard feels very uninspired, and copilot i associate too mich with flying, and also sounds more competent than it is.

ChatGPT is probably not the best name, but at least it’s unique.

Calling light electric seems redundant. Its like saying electric electromangantic radiation.

How so? Is it because they’re switching to electric vs hydraulic?

What’s so mind boggling stupid to me is that full evs are mechanically so much simpler.

Their reliability should be fantastic.

But no oems cheap out on things like contactors in the battery.

Batteries should also be treated as consumable. Easily replaceable, maybe even in parts.

Electric motors seem like they should last forever too.

But nope, instead we get skimped cars with too big batteries, and seemingly no money spent anywhere else.

Manufacturers need to remember that planned obselesence only works when you know what your doing, and right now they early don’t.

A good bet is alternative media, things like kurzgesagt, verisitium or other science outreach programs.

The other thing is education, engage with his education, and teach him yourself to think critically.

And I hate to say it to say it, but religion conditions kids to brainwashing. Even if not extremists.

Feel comfortable pointing out flaws in Christianity and question them with him.

And lastly, try not to be argumentitive. You need to carefully tease him out of these beliefs, not destroy them.

That would feel like you are attacking him and will probably be counterproductive.

I think it could’ve used a few more years, because its still not that fun.

Exploation is meaningless, which completely takes the fun out of it. There’s nothing interesting to discover.

We have reactor designs that use already spent fuel, we just aren’t building them. We have enough spent fuel for centuries, and afterwards the reprocessed fuel is much less radioactive, and only for a few decades.

But it’s text, an entire persons message history can be stored very cheaply.

A million words is only 2MB.

Most people are expexted to text less than 10 millions words in a lifetime.

An entire persons lifetime message history is only 20MB, that’s trivial to store.

If they want to charge to save media, thats fine, but text backups should be free

If you’re barely scraping by, having less money can significantly affect quality of life, or at least percieved quality of life.

How much is the subscription?

Why does the author care about raytracing?

Hardly anybody uses raytracing on desktop why would they do it on a phone?

I have a 3080 but I never use raytracing because it’s not worth the loss in framerate.

Honestly, it’s so easy to block accounts, so if there’s only one bot in you community you should just keep it.

If they don’t like it they can block it.

There’s also a lot of violence, and a fair amount of gore, not kid friendly.

Admiral Pasalk may not have been evil, but he was a jerk.

I’ve only crowdfunded a handful of gsmes, mostly vr. Because they can’t get traditional funding. Despite this I want to support projects that could be interesting. Without Kickstarter these projects would not exist, rather than switch to traditional funding.

I know there’s risk, i know they may never get finished. But its worth the risk in case a true gaming gem comes out.

I think you undersell how feature rich steam is for both users and developers.

They offer community forums, reviews, mods through workshop, cloud saves, automatic controller support, openish vr ecosystem (epic cant even do vr, if you buy a vr game you likely need to use steamvr anyway), broad payment and currency options, regional pricing and guidelines, remote play, and more I’m sure.

This is much more feature rich than even console platforms, so I think the 30% fee is justified.

And they do this all without really locking down their ecosystem.

Give it a decade and economies of scale, and maybe it will get it down to twice as expensive.

If they’re making record profits why did they decide to come to steam?

I think their player numbers have dropped and they’re trying to boost them.
