Sort of, but I’m not sure refinement is the right word. It is meant to allude to genes. Memes are to culture as genes are to biological evolution.

To be clear though, disconnect your current PSU and use the new psus cables. DO NOT use the old cables with the new PSU. Even though they use the same connectors they are not standardized and you can easily fry components this way.

Yea but that was known from the start. Android is an open platform right now. This is changing a fundamental feature of a device I already paid for.

I think overall destroying gas/fuel plants will lower the amount of fuel entering the atmosphere overall. Sure the stockpiles will go up right then and there but that was going to happen anyway, and shutting production down for a few months will be a net benefit to the atmosphere (assuming they don’t turn to a worse source of fuel, which they might.) The space industry also is still small enough that it accounts for a surprisingly small portion of emissions.

The EV issues and increasingly larger and larger vehicles I think account for a much greater portion of emissions.

Do not, under any circumstances, use the L word. You do not love them, you may be infatuated, but do not confuse those two. That is a surefire way to drive them away.

Are they anywhere near as big as steam sales are? Steam regularly has themed sales for specific genres and then has major sales 4 times a year where nearly every game has some kind of discount.

When did you get it and for how much?

People would not have been catching their hair on fire when the only fire they would encounter was natural wildfires or bonfires.

Yea in our modern society sure. But not for the last 250,000 years of human evolution.

I thought canonically superman uses some kind of magic to be able to keep objects and people safe in specific ways. That’s why if he catches someone at the last second they don’t still die, or why a building can fall over and he can catch it without it just crumbling around him.

It is a bit odd. Your eyes feel pain to tell you whatever you are seeing might damage them if you look too long. But if you close one eye the pain can disappear entirely, even though that single eyes experience is the exact same.

For me it took a few hours to get into. Once the station starts to open up and becomes less linear it gets really good. I really love how that games level design tells so many interesting stories in different corners of the station.

I feel like that’s kind of to be expected in a field that has a half life of knowledge of only around 7 years. I doubt many psychologists/therapists actually follow the manual to the letter. If yours does I would definitely find a new one!

Or rather, “we” aren’t, but palantir is.

It’s the smallest length that our current understanding of the universe will allow. Any distance smaller is immeasurable to us. To measure small things you need to be able to hit them with a photon and get a signal back; and the smaller you want to measure the higher energy that photon has to be. The planck length is the distance where the photon you are using to measure has so much energy comparable to the size that the energy density instantly creates a black hole, that swallows whatever you are trying to observe. Thus it is impossible for us to measure smaller than that distance. Things might absolutely exist at scales smaller than that, but the universe seems to lock them away from us.

Revanced does have a version of sponsorblock btw.

Steam provides not only a storefront with lots of features that devs can use, they also provide servers, backend support through different APIs and not to mention the insane amount of data users need each day. (Around 275 PETABYTES a day, or 100 exabytes a year) That kind of infrastructure is not cheap, and seeing as that was the industry standard (it’s still what Google and apple get from their storefronts) I’d say that’s pretty reasonable.

Also the 30% cut goes down to 25% after the first $10 million in revenue, then down to 20% after you reach $50 million. I do think they should put in a lower cut for independent developers who are releasing small games, until a certain revenue threshold is reached, but overall I would say it seems reasonable to me.

After looking into that more I’ve yet to see any hard evidence of valve threatening to delist devs for selling cheaper elsewhere. And presumably, so have the courts, because otherwise that seems like it would be a slam dunk case. I’ll believe it when I see it, but just going on word of mouth doesn’t convince me.

That’s simply not true. They aren’t supposed to generate steam keys and then sell them at a lower price at other stores. Which is completely fair, as you can generate keys for free, but the game would still be using steams servers and services. But you can absolutely sell a game for cheaper on other store fronts if it isn’t using steams backend.

But how exactly is that steams fault? What should they do to remedy that?
