Early testsresults in the Netherlands have shown great succes. Less cyber bullying, more socializing by students, and better engagement in classroom. The students actually prefer it too.
I thought it was stupid too, but I’ve come around to it. A box full of dopamine hits is not for teenagers to decide wether they can interact with it or not.
But every day ends wi… oh. OH.
Ha, I only knew the whispered line, never saw the conplete sketch. Brilliant.
Oh man, this perfectly sums it up.
I should watch IT Crowd again.
To be fair, I’m the opposite of efficient with my tab usage. I close tabs often as soon as I switch to a different task, only to find out I still needed that tab.
I only just weeks ago discovered that tabs are kept open after rebooting (I had to turn power off during a session). That is how automatically I close tabs normally. A blessing and a curse.
Shivers
Nightmare fuel I tell you. NIGHTMARE FUEL!
A hint of disgust with a trace of pity.
The feeling I have about people that have more than 8 tabs open is the same feeling I have for people that have their desktop full of random shit.
Thrift stores are your friend for bluray and dvd players.
Tape Decks can be aquired there too, but are a bit more prone to damage in the components.
About a year ago, I started buying DVD’s from thrift stores. I rip them all and put them on my Plex server. I recently aquired a Bluray player and starting to collect those too. Since those take up MUCH more diskspace, I only watch bluray with the physical disk (storage in Europe is unfortunately more expensive than in the USA)
I also started collecting CD’s again (mostly from thrift stores too). I rip these to FLAC and also put them on my Plex.
The beauty of this system for me is that I still have to physically flip through stuff to build my collection. Since it takes up physical space, I limit myself to stuff I actually really want to see/listen to. But by digitizing it, I have the advantage of having acces to that curated content everywhere. The added timesink of ripping and metadata correcting gives me more satisfaction and appreciation for what I bought. A sense of pride and accomplishment, if you will.
So I buy Physical to make sure the collection stays curated and manageable, but digitize most of it for the convenience.
Due to the appreciation of my collection, I now watch more movies and listen to more music than when I had acces to netflix or Spotify.
Thanks!
Yeah totally!
frantically searches for the meaning of all those abbreviations

Erh… yes… ehm… fine weather today, right?
I awkardly gaze to the ground while I wait for the elevator to arrive at the right floor.
I agree 100%!
Well… maybe 70%.
I think you vastly underestimate how many edgecases there actually are. Every one edge case might be a small userbase, but combined, all those small userbases make a significant userbase for whom Linux is less than ideal. And (just a hunch) on Lemmy, this % of users is actually larger than the population at large. Tech-savy people tend to use more obscure programs.
Some edgecases I happen to know(because I happen to fall into three edgecase groups!)
Those are two creative edgecases. And I believe using your PC for creative work is actually quite a significant userbase.
And sometimes even IF a product is supposedly supported on Linux, it doesn’t work straight up. I recently tried to install Ubiquity’s Unify program on my Pop!OS, but nope, errors before even installing. Happened to need all kinds of weird dependencies that are outdated and are hard to install. Even when following Ubiquity’s install guide. On windows it just worked. Another edgecase, but it adds up.
So I disagree on your “majority” statement. Especially on Lemmy, I don’t believe that to be true at all.
But meh, maybe agree to disagree.
So have you tried music production with Linux? Installing VSTs is exactly that: hours upon hours of banging your head against a wall with Wine.
There simply are usecases that don’t work out of the box with Linux that do on Windows because the companies don’t support Linux.
3D models aren’t tied to Unity, so all 3D models could probably easily be imported to Unreal.
Unity also has a 3D model exporter, so they could have used that to get all 3D models positions into Unreal within minutes.
E: still stuff like animations and game logic obviously take more time. Not trying to say that porting a whole game can be done in minutes, just the 3D Models.
Just speculation on my part, but perhaps they are using a different engine. The original was made in Unity, this one looks like it was made in Unreal.
I’d probably cut down my current job to about 1 day a week (because I still love my job).
I’d Spend the rest of the time making all kinds of weird abstract artpieces that nobody would understand.
