It’s a different thing. This is pixel perfect accuracy for the entire projectile. There aren’t hotboxes as I understand it, it’s literally what the model is on the screen.

I think we need to do better than just say “get an education.”

There are educated people that still vote for Trump. Making it sound like liberalism is some result of going to college is part of why so many colleges are under attack.

From their perspective I get it, many of the Trump voters didn’t go, they hear that and they just assume brainwashing.

We need to find a way to teach people to sort out information, to put their immediate emotions on pause and search for information, etc, not just the kind of “education” where you regurgitate talking points from teachers, the TV, or the radio as if they’re matter of a fact … and the whole education system is pretty tuned around regurgitation, even at the college level. A lot of the culture of exploration surrounding college (outside of the classroom) is likely more where the liberal view points come from and we’d be ill advised to assume the right can’t destroy that.

They used ray tracing for the hit registration so that’s presumably why.

It’s a really interesting idea … presumably that means there are some really flashy guns and there is a very intricate damage system that runs at least partially on the GPU.

Yeah, eternal was for me one of the best video games ever

Yeah, honestly this is why I didn’t buy Intel last time I did an upgrade.

I literally bought Intel, decided I wanted Intel, and then when I found out it was likely the board wasn’t going to be useful with any other chip, I just returned the whole kit.

Honestly yeah, I want to believe that it’s a strategic move… I worry it’s just what he truly believes though.

It’s definitely still an early access game, but it’s progressing nicely, incredibly stable, charming, backed by a passionate team, and well priced.

Jagex is particularly guilty of this

Yeah… I think I’m going to stay with them but this was a really really dumb stunt he pulled.

Maybe it’s just to get favorable treatment for Proton but he’s playing with fire especially as many people that value privacy the most are the people that need privacy from the kind of authoritarian strongmen like Trump.

You’re kind of scaring away the people that need you the most.

Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation. Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote.

At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance.

By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand.

Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost.

Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

I guess it was the initial one where he said the little guy stuff, regardless he doubles down on the partisan politics. This was posted through the official Proton account as well.

Like, he had a bad expense with Chuck and basically nobody including 99% of Republicans showed up to his party … So clearly we should all just forget all the other problematic stuff that Republicans have done.

I think he doesn’t get the part about US politics where most of the time party leaders won’t bring bills unless they’re major flag flying things (like immigration in the Republican House) or they’ll actually pass.

Privacy is neither for either party.

The worst part was not Andy’s initial posts it was his initial “let me correct the narrative” follow ups where he went on to bash Democrats and call the Republicans the party of the little guy, which is in many ways untruthful.

It’s just a really bad look overall. This is basically how it started with us finding out Musk was such a mess too.

I added that to my list, see also:

I guess Biden isn’t going to enforce it and Trump has promised not to as well. So… This sucks.

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

Everyone I know who actually pays to play Jagex games acts like it’s meth or heroin…

It’s pretty far from that, but it is absolutely an abusive relationship and has been for some time.

You should go talk to a therapist. I don’t mean that to be mean, but you’re clearly going through some stuff … and that sucks but AI is a false prophet. It might make you feel better but it’s no substitute for actual therapy, actual advice, and an actual support system.

The privacy concern IMO really isn’t the problem.

PostgreSQL is just better. It’s supports transactions on DDL (things like altering table structure) and enforces unique constraints after transactions complete … so you can actually do a bunch of important stuff (like update your table structure or swap unique values between rows) safely.
