It’s the fact that it’s in near real time now, older techniques with older hardware would need much longer.

They’re not taking enough votes to win a lot of seats but I bet they’ve taken enough votes to change a few marginal Conservative seats into Labour ones.

Another counter example is South Korea, the right wing PPP are red and the left wing DPK are blue.

I’m right in the Millennial/Gen Z transition, mid 90’s. I struggle to associate strongly with either group as I missed most of the important Millennial stuff but I was too early for a lot of zoomer stuff.

I love ligatures but much prefer the ones that preserve the proper width of all the characters for this exact reason

Interesting, my experience was in rural Georgia so could be regional?

I’d put money on it being the US.

I’m from the UK where chip and pin is required and contactless is nearly ubiquitous so when I was in the US recently I was baffled that a lot of places had me signing for things.

I much prefer FSR as it’s a more open system. DLSS only works on Nvidia because Nvidia wants it to only work on Nvidia. FSR might be a step behind tech wise but it’s improving all the time.

I think it’s easy to draw a comparison here with the G-Sync vs Freesync debate that has pretty much resulted in total victory for AMD. From my observations G-Sync clings to life in only the very highest end bleeding edge turbo gamer monitors.

More open and permissive standards hopefully win out in the end.

You could configure the DNS only on devices that don’t have issues with it rather than the network as a whole?

I suspect they might be talking about a DNS based ad blocking solution. Like Pi-Hole or AdGaurd DNS.

They work by blocking DNS requests made by ads so the content can never be accessed. They’re theoretically more powerful than browser extensions as they have the opportunity to block ads anywhere.

“shouldn’t have to” ≠ "don’t want to*

I’m the one that doesn’t want to learn anything then you drop an “England” on me? I’m Scottish or does that not matter because is it too much for you to learn that the UK is more than England?

My brain is filled with far too much shite about measurements. I love all of it. I’m a great lover of odd and obscure imperial units. Please don’t try to tell me I don’t want to know.

I do know that but my point is that I shouldn’t have to know that. Imperial fluid measurements outside the pint aren’t used anywhere else in my life.

I’m a Scottish nationalist and republican (in the British sense). It’s one of my pipe dreams to see an independent Scotland adopt the metric system fully but I kinda doubt it will ever happen.

Who the fuck knows honestly? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

!Imperial!<

(may be a bit of an off topic rant)

The cluster fuck that is the UK’s measurement system can be easily summarised by looking at fueling a car.

You fill your car from a pump that sells you litres of fuel. Then your car reports its fuel economy in miles per gallon.

How the fuck am I supposed to relate the 40 litres of diesel that I just bought to the 35 MPG on my dashboard without a fucking calculator?

I fucking hate it here. It’s the exact same British exceptionalism that brought us fucking Brexit.

I realise that the overlap between Mastodon users and BBC Radio 3 listeners is likely me and me alone but I wish they’d add an account for it.

I suppose the reasoning behind it would be that 4 & 5 are the talk stations.

🎶That’s 3 in the corner 🎶

I’ve managed to create marijuana and bong after five minutes of messing with it. Perfect game.

Edit: I’m really narrowing in on this niche: Stoner + Couch = Pothead
