As someone who games at 4k on a video card from 2017, I can confirm that VRR is a must-have feature for gaming at lower frame rates.

VRR means that falling off your set frame rate doesn't matter. 56 FPS is just as smooth as 60 FPS. If something explodes and the game drops to 40 for a second, you don't really notice.

They weren't called the 'me' generation for nothing.

Google? Unstable commitment to a project? That's crazy talk!

 

I didn't used to swear much at all, but then I started healing mythic+ regularly.

I'd believe that.

I found my eyes flew across the text in the post, but I didn't really absorb anything.

I'm running the Battle.net client on Linux with Wine instead of Deck and Proton, but I haven't had any problems recently.

It last updated around two weeks ago and the previous update was two weeks before that. I'm running version 2.22.0.14235 and there's no updates available.

There was an issue with some versions of Wine making Battle.net fail with a "This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform" message. Is that what you're hitting, or something else?

Does that even work? Most people aren't sitting in traffic because they want to be there.

Mandate WFH for office workers and most will avoid the traffic by themselves.

This. Federation between instances is currently unreliable, there's a fix coming in Lemmy 0.18.1.

Stadia really needed to be a monthly subscription model rather than asking people to buy games on Stadia.

Nobody wanted to buy in to a Google platform, but I might've signed up for a month and had a look.

Federation is glitchy right now, there's fixes coming in Lemmy 0.18.1

Okay, but for now all the "RIP Reddit" posts give migrating Reddit users a feeling of, "So this is where the other people like me went."

According to gdpr.eu:

To comply with the regulations governing cookies under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive you must:

  • Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies.
  • Provide accurate and specific information about the data each cookie tracks and its purpose in plain language before consent is received.
  • Document and store consent received from users.
  • Allow users to access your service even if they refuse to allow the use of certain cookies
  • Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.

I don't think I've ever seen a site with a revoke consent button.

Many of them start dropping cookies as soon as you load the page and mostly you get a link to their privacy policy rather than cookie explanations. So they aren't even meeting GDPR requirements anyway. Sites just treat the cookie notice popup as a complete GDPR solution.

It looks like Lemmy sets a cookie when you log in to an account, so it might actually need a paragraph explaining the login cookie. Or maybe it has one and I've forgotten.

He wasn't optimistic on being able to make that work, last I heard.

He was initially talking about $3/month, but the issue is that most of the people willing to pay a monthly subscription for Reddit are the heaviest users. So instead of looking at the API usage for the average user, pricing needs to be aimed at the top 10% or 1% of users.

I'm still looking into it, gathering data etc. Unfortunately the average call rates when broken down to the top 2, 5, 10% etc of users is painting a much different picture. This is the cohort of users I would expect to possibly convert to a subscription model and the average rates for those users can be 3,4,5 even 600 hundred calls per day just by the shear amount they use the app. Some of the top users are well over 1000 per day and sometimes over 2000.

So I'm not sure yet. It would probably have to be a usage based subscription model if it was going to be anything and I'm not sure that's worth doing. I am still looking into it but unfortunately I don't think my earlier price points will work.
