“user-applicable fix” is hardly correct, they are installing a fix provided by the company that has the recall. The company just so happens to provide an over the air download to patch the issue instead of having owners go to a dealer.
That works until more of the user base leaves. Whose going to pay to tweet if no one is on the platform. It’s “worth” it potentially in the short term, but long term it doesn’t seem viable.
Yea I guess I “splurge” on food that doesn’t have traces of lead or other disgusting things that shouldn’t be in food.
People are still in prison for it though.
They are called PLU numbers and I’m assuming they’re regulated because bananas are the same code everywhere I’ve been, as with grapes. Maybe certain produce between regions or chains is different but I think most are similar.
Modification and distribution of modified copyrighted content, if not permitted, can be a copyright violation
Generally you are not distributing any content from the game. Most mods to games are using API calls to a mod loader to change the game for the user on runtime. These distributed mods generally have no copyright content in them.
Holy cow man, chill, this discussion is about censoring a song about 2 genders, not a fascist manifesto.
There is no reason to have these unless you’re doing a flashback and want to intuitively imply how much older this scene is versus the other ones.
There actually is a reason for both of those to be used in video game development
You really should do some research on practical applications of both of these features
But instead, video games just turn them on or off, CEOs being too cheap to pay artists to go over the scenes one by one and utilize these effects to their full artistic potential.
And apparently do some research into how these are implemented.
Noise/Grain is used to add texture after using some sharp aliasing, it can subtly help blend things. Similarly aberration can help soften edges that get really sharp when rendering.
Irregardless of what they can practically be used for, they are implemented as simple features that users have the ability to control. Both features are just screen space shaders that take very little dev time and processing power. They are added as an extra little feature that’s simple not because the CEO is too cheap. It sounds like you are unhappy with a game you’ve played and seemingly blamed it on them adding a noise filter, so now any use of it is lazy.
If you want to immigrate into a country, you must 100% be aligned with the values of your new country.
It’s just hard to say that when a lot of European Colonialism took place in these countries, some gaining independence within the last 100 years (referring to the middle east as alluded to in your last paragraph)
I don’t really know where to stand and I don’t think you can be in a position that is correct given the effects of colonialism from Europe. The fact that some effects of this colonialism (especially in Africa) have destroyed some countries/cultures, when the natural population didn’t “100%” align with the colonizers makes it hard to not sympathise with these people. A lot of these immigrants are leaving their home countries (not all), due to the rippling effects of colonialism.
I should say while I agree with your statement, I don’t know how to account for the effects of external influence that may be causing said immigration.
Chinese people also deserve to not be sent to internment camps.
Personally, there are some smaller communities that exist on Reddit that just don’t exist on Lemmy, or have inactive communities. The other option for some of those communities is Twitter, so I’d much rather just check Reddit. I also don’t expect my local towns subreddit to move to Lemmy from Reddit. I think it’s less about returning to Reddit and more so wanting to participate in small communities that exist in Reddit.
Can’t describe how terrible I felt after that…
Welcome to noita lol
Paper cups and plates I guess? I don’t like doing dishes and those two both eliminate the need to, but without a downside of being plastic.
:(
Lol he did it intentionally and she was a photographer for the concert. There’s a video of it you can see. He’s clearly being a dick. You shouldn’t be expected to get kicked in the face at a rock show???
I’d agree that’s annoying yes, but it’s free. There comes a point where the amount of free users upgrading to premium isn’t enough, so they’re left with either changing the free service to boost that number or remove free as it likely loses them money. I’d agree that it’s shitty yea, but the free product is meant to be a preview to entice premium subscriptions. If they aren’t getting enough upgrades, something has to change (in their view)
So are limited free demos a shitty method because you then have to pay to get the full experience? I don’t understand why people are so upset that the free experience gets worse, economically it makes sense and any company would do it. They do not need to offer a free service at all, but they do it to help cultivate a premium user base. It’s pretty consumer friendly they offer a free version to let you make sure you want to use Spotify before you pay. I just don’t think offering a free product to entice paying for the full thing is a “shitty method”.
I just don’t think it being audible is for the attendant as you can’t hear them with so many sounds, and you have a screen already that shows everything. For old people seems to be the most obvious, but why would they remove the mute of that is the case. In all reality it’s likely some corporate decision, that in their testings made them more money with no mute button vs with mute button. When I worked at a huge national grocery store chain (ahold) it seemed like every decision was made by people who’ve never worked in a grocery store. So wouldn’t surprise me if the reason was some nonsense.
they want the machine to announce what it is so the self checkout monitor can hear if you rang your asparagus in as (much cheaper by weight) bananas.
I don’t think that’s the case. It’s impossible to hear those things when busy. Maybe that was corporate thinking. My best guess is for old people thh
I’m thankful my grocery stores have a mute button for self checkout. It makes for a much less stressful experience, I don’t know why they have it narrate so much junk.
As for your issues with the inability to remove things, I do know the trick. (I can’t speak for non-us self check out kiosks) As someone who worked as an attendant for the kiosks, the main cause of setting off the thing is picking your bag up before the scale has settled. The scale isn’t just checking that the weight has increased by a certain amount, it’s also waiting to make sure the weight is balanced. The issue with that, is the intuitive thing to do when your bag is full is immediately put it in your cart to make space. So the best thing to do is put your item in, wait a few seconds then you’re set to move the bag. With the small things not registering, could be uncalibrated scales. I have never ran into the multiply issue, as the ones I’ve all been to have scan guns and you can just shoot the barcode a bunch.
At least it gets used for something, unlike most people’s front yards. Hell even some people’s backyards I see and it looks like they never use it.
