In the real world with real people, what matters is efficiency. Top performance that you can only achieve in benchmarks is not any indicative of efficiency.

That is certainly not the case, either something unexpected happened or either of you didn't have the families beta on. I have never logged in someone else's PC and neither have someone logged on mine, I always use Steam on beta and I was able to send family invites to my friends, however only the ones in my region (country) were able to join.

Yes, and that's the reason Google is abandoning it since they can't profit off of it.

Like the other commenter said, Google is actively dropping support for JXL in favour of their own WebP, and despite it performing worse than JXL in every single test, JXL doesn't pay royalties to Google.

That is not how the new families work. The new on all you need to do is sent an invite and they'll be able to join the family. No need to log in their computers or authorise anything, just a simple invite.

Region meaning country

So just stop using literally any and everything, got it.

Sure but you have to remember people are not tech savvy at all. They're used to email, but they do not see the correlation with the fediverse. Try explaining that to the average Joe and see where that leads you.

The problem is having instances. If you tell the average Joe to join Mastodon and they see there's 10 different links for Mastodon they'll just give up and move on, it's too much complicated effort for them.

Explain to me what would be the good reasons McDonald's has to block their app from running on a rooted device because it doesn't pass SafetyNet or whatever Google is calling it now

You mean, like the USA?

But there's no way to prevent this, according to the only nation where this frequently happens.

So then the code is to make the AI generate images and take input

There are amazing and impressive games being made in Build engine (the one from classic DOOM) even today. The engine is not the issue, it's who's using it and how.

Gamers go all high and mighty with their expletives against creation engine but it doesn't matter, they could use an abacus or unrealdot unitybite rered 6 engine for all that it's worth and the games could still come out bad if they don't change how they approach and develop it.

I agree with everything you said but to talk about Starfield, I think it even failed to be a Bethesda game. If their gimmick is to drop the ball, with Starfield they didn't even pick up the ball first to be able to drop it.

I'm not hopeful at all for TES6 and I'm a diehard TES fan, unless some major changes happen internally (and no, the engine is not the problem, it's who's developing in it and who's directing it all).

Playing this game on my Deck I was always thinking "I should be able to play this on my phone as well".

I will buy it, I will play it, I will enjoy it, and I will severely hope to never have thoughts like that again

Take a look at FUTO: https://keyboard.futo.org/

Man you right wingers are a very annoying bunch, always claiming censorship and loss of democracy while applauding the actual wannabe dictators doing gold medal deserving mental gymnastics to justify antidemocratic actions

I think we oughta wait for the game to at least leave the alpha, where huge changes happen from night to day, before concluding how toxic the game and mechanics will be

"Musk [...] passion for free speech is genuine"

As long as it lines up with the right wing agenda, otherwise it's woke bullshit that needs to be censored and banned, right?

Delusional, both of you.
