I agree but the US is far from the only spy happy country.

Lost Skies

AIUI D1 is in a better state than D2 will be even after the June 9th update. If you have a play station and are interested in Destiny it’s probably good to pick up.

D2 still has a lot of good content but the new player experience is rather rough since they removed the original tutorial and only put back in a shorter and less complete one.

Maybe the Danish are approximations of the Great Dane

I just selfhost bare git repos on an ssh server

Destiny has very broad appeal, has printed money before, and certainly could be popular again if they just stopped making all the worst decisions.

Marathon has a very very particular niche it’s targeting and I think it does that well, but I don’t it’s going to grow at all without some changes to its fundamental ideas.

I already launch most controller-based non-Steam games I own through the “add a non-Steam game to Steam” feature because Steam Input is the best game controller driver/manager I’ve used and it’s not remotely close.

Somebody do this to Minecraft

How is Windows less corporate than MacOS or ChromeOS?

Implement an SOC on the FPGA and boot away!

Some anti cheat either didn’t work well with Linux or is specifically intended to be incompatible with Linux.

I should try it on anime. I was using it on phone videos.

I ran a comparison between libsvtav1 and h264 and h265 and found that libsvtav kinda sucks.

It does produce smaller file sizes at h265, but it tends to add a visible blur.

Compress video to a broadly compatible format:

ffmpeg -i input -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 25 -preset slow -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

This incantation is what I end up needing 99% of the time I do something with ffmpeg.

YouTube and windows movie maker are almost certainly using ffmpeg.

I’ve been in three different apartments in my current city and I’ve needed black out curtains to sleep in all of them.

Minecraft copyright doesn’t cover the entire genre of block-based sandbox pixel art games. Minecraft isn’t even the first in that genre, even if it’s the most popular by a wide margin.

Unless Microsoft can prove that one of the textures started by copying a Minecraft texture, or that substantial bits of code are copied from Minecraft, there is no claim.

250 years is an observed pattern, but is not implied to be the cause

When the weather is 100% hot outside how hot is it?

I gave up on getting multiple displays to work consistently on macOS and Windows years ago and just got an ultrawide instead.
