I didn’t say that trump got it under control, just that it is under control now while it was out of control at almost all time highs during Biden’s term.

No, they banned it because they don’t like pride flags being replaced, or male and female being the sex options, or black characters being replaced with more historically accurate white ones (no issue with the opposite though, shock horror). It had nothing to do with trolling or the comments section or throwaway accounts. It was ideological.

Yes, they can do what they want with their site. I agree. I didn’t say they can’t. I just pointed out what they do.

If they banned mods that put pride flags everywhere it wouldn’t bother me one bit. People can mod their single player games however they want, I don’t care.

If you’re playing games at 500fps you don’t need DLSS. What is your point? Again - it’s for situations where you can’t get a good framerate at the settings you want to use.

How is this hard to understand?

What type of logic is this? Because rules didn’t force them to make it easier it will get harder?

A whole article about how terrible this is, then towards the end they got clarification from Google and, surprise surprise, it was all an overreaction and they were fear mongering.

“This update is good for users: they can now use Gemini to complete daily tasks on their mobile devices like send messages, initiate phone calls, and set timers while Gemini Apps Activity is turned off. With Gemini Apps Activity turned off, their Gemini chats are not being reviewed or used to improve our AI models.

It’s just giving Gemini more local assistant abilities.

Not to me, no. No matter which airline it’s still uncomfortable, the in-flight stuff is irrelevant to me as I take my own headphones/tablet/snacks, and I only ever take carry on other than big international trips, which budget carriers don’t do here.

Movies: 7796

TV Series: 1443

Music (tracks): 37909

All up its pushing 45TB currently. All legal backups, obviously.

I’m trying to get all 1080p 10bit 5.1 x265 for tv and movies, but am not converting 264 -> 265 myself as it would take forever and is lossy. Sonarr and radarr will take care of it eventually anyway with the way I’ve set up my profiles.

Subtitles are usually SRTs grabbed by Bazarr, stored in a subtitles folder inside each movie folder.

Folder structure is just the standard folder per movie, and folder per tv series with sub folders per season.

Music is 320kbps mp3 where possible, and for the last year or 2 I’ve been trying to get FLAC and then convert to mp3 (automatically) and archive off the FLAC for safe keeping.

Whenever the 265 successor comes out I’ll look at upgrading to 4K if the space requirements are not crazy. With the price of storage and large bay NAS/DAS devices there’s just no way I could do 4K as it stands.

I don’t know how many government workers you’ve met, but I wouldn’t have much hope of that haha

That’s not why they banned it though, as they could have simply turned off comments.

Well you’d be impressed then :)

Playing a lot of fps games doesn’t mean you can play at a high level. Having an ultrawide monitor and 144hz is completely irrelevant lol. There are people with 4K 200+hz monitors and 5090s who are trash at competitive play.

Raster isn’t capable of these things, that’s why it’s never been done until raytracing came along. Rasterization rasters what is on the screen, nothing outside of that.

People in government IT jobs who maintain Microsoft systems aren’t going to be contributing to FOSS codebases. They’re not developers.

No, that’s not the point. The point is that someone should be able to mod the flags in a single player game on their computer to be whatever they want, but Nexus Mods don’t think so. They want to tell you what you can and can’t do as a mod based on their ideology. Make a white character black? Go for it!!!! Black character white? Banned!

Do you not see how this is an issue?

 

X has received executive orders from the Indian government requiring X to block over 8,000 accounts in India, subject to potential penalties including significant fines and imprisonment of the company’s local employees. The orders include demands to block access in India to accounts belonging to international news organizations and prominent X users.

X is exploring all possible legal avenues available to the company. Unlike users located in India, X is restricted by Indian law in its ability to bring legal challenges against these executive orders. However, we encourage all users who are impacted by these blocking orders to seek appropriate relief from the courts.
