The people editing their images in Blender are the same people who edit their videos in Blender lol.

At least where I live, the city centre was built and designed around walking and public transit, but then the city destroyed those streets to make way for cars. If the city were to reverse those changes and build back areas designed for walking and cycling, it would result in a much better city centre, without any drastic restructuring.

I bough Farcry 5 for around $10 CAD a few years back and that's about how much value I got put of it.

Intel is almost flawless, I say as someone who uses an Intel A750. It does have a bug where putting load on the GPU causes a dramatic increase in latency for GPU compute tasks, but that's mostly only important for VR. Flatscreen games work great.

Yup, I was looking in the wrong section. This will make great ammunition when convincing people not to use Meta services.

We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality

Where can this carve-out be found? I looked at their Code of conduct for bullying and harassment and did notice that harassment related to gender only seems to be protected for "private minors" and not for adults.

I would recommend against the pinephone. While the hardware is well supported, the hardware sucks. Voyager in Firefox runs at around 4 fps, while the battery percent drops every minute and the back of the phone is uncomfortably hot.

You would be better off with a Pixel 3a, oneplus 6 or poco f1, which are all supported by PostmarketOS. While many hardware features don't work on these phones, they all have rudimentary camera support and have actually good SOCs that perform well.

Do use use the mod called Sodium? Vanilla Minecraft Java has bad performance issues that are fixed with Sodium. I've tried Vanilla minecraft side by side with minecraft + shaders and sodium, and even with the shaders, sodium made it smoother.

lvra.gitlab.io is a great source of info for vr on linux. The discord server you mentioned is also bridged to Matrix for those who don't want to use discord.

IIRC robot vacuums usually use a single Time of Flight (ToF) sensor that rotates, giving the robot a 2d scan of it's surroundings. This is sufficient for a vacuum which only needs to operate on a flat surface, but self driving vehicles need a better understanding of their surroundings than just a thin slice.

That's why cars might use over 30 distinct ToF sensors, each at a different vertical angle, that are then all placed in the rotating module, giving the system a full 3d scan of it's surroundings. I would assume those modules are much more expensive, though still insignificant compared to the cost of a car sold on the idea of self driving.

Malware. All the malware 🪲. That thing better be airgapped.

Unlike a car which is bought once and is mostly outside of vendor control once you have it, Proton mail is a service that requires continuous trust in the company since they offer a service. This means I no longer trust Proton as much, which makes me much less inclined to use their services.
