While I appreciate that time zones change including dst… Your porch light shouldn’t care about dst, it should probably just care about actual light levels

Fwiw v clocks don’t need to have WiFi to auto adjust for dst. Just being date-aware and having a method to configure dst is all it takes.

Ligma Balls!!! HAHAHAHAHHA

Give us some examples? What goals are you being asked to give up on?

God I wish megacorps would stop being morons with NDA nonsense and just open up the possibilities for open source devs to actually use the hardware that’s out there

God damn why’s the world so shit

No, actually just don’t tread on me. Don’t tarnish the message of this flag (and neither should the people you’re targeting tbh)

Unlike other data sources, this information includes gang shootings, domestic violence, shootings at sports games and afterhours school events, suicides, fights that escalate into shootings, and accidents.

Using this wide definition is clearly muddying the waters of what is colloquially known as a school shooting. Those words make people think of uvalde and Columbine, indiscriminately shooting many of the kids. Suicides, accidents, etc are MUCH different and implying they’re the same is actively harming genuine discourse on the topic.

In my experience it’s much more likely to CAUSE frame drops than mask anything in a good way. It sure masks visual detail though

Motion blur in film does that, but with video games, in every implementation I’ve seen, you don’t get a blur that works the same way. Movies will generally blur 50% of the motion between frames (a “180 degree shutter”), a smooth blur based on motion alone. Video games generally just blur multiple frames together (sometimes more than two!) leaving all of the distinct images there, just overlayed instead of actually motion blurred. So if something moved from one side of the screen all the way to the other within a single frame, you get double vision of that thing instead of it just being an almost invisible smear across the screen. To do it “right” you basically have to do motion interpolation first, then blur based on that, and if you’re doing motion interpolation you may as well just show the sharp interpolated mid frames.

On top of that, motion blur tends to be computationally very expensive and you end up getting illegible 30fps instead of smooth 60+.

“RTFM” My irritation is that most recipes make a huge amount of assumptions - at least as many as code that assumes a certain version of library. You can get recipes that say things as vague as “prepare the chicken” and aren’t at all clear what they mean, unless you’ve seen someone do it first, but it’s published in a book like you should just know. I hate that. I also frequently see quantities like “1 can” which just drives me insane as though that’s a standard unit.

There’s also plenty of cooking specific jargon, so densely packed that beginners might spend the majority of the recipe looking up what the terms mean. “Chop” parsley - how finely? “Mix the ingredients” how long? What the fuck is Golden Brown actually?

Frankly sounds like his beef should be with his wife. That guy didn’t drain her bank account, she did.

It’s available but not flourishing last I checked. Just to be clear I’m not denigrating it at all, I desperatelywant it to flourish. I pay for nebula, too, as well as patreon for many of my preferred creators, in the hopes that they can explore alternatives to YouTube. Hell, I pay for floatplane and dropout too, as much as I hate the fractured environment it’s creating, I want the most direct way to support the content I watch, but YouTube is almost certainly still my most watched platform

I just keep hoping it gets bad enough for something better to flourish in its place

Rite* of passage

Sounds like a failure to set good expectations. Sure there are times people just don’t listen, but if everyone else is saying this kind of thing, maybe there’s a common factor…
