This low power mode has RAM running at half the bandwidth which will really kneecap performance but is a common way to increase efficiency in mobile devices. If it was about saving power they wouldn’t make adapting existing games this hard IMO.

Read as much as you can on autism, preferably written from autistic and neurotypical perspectives. There are things about autism that seem to be common knowledge among autistic people that NTs and science seem to be completely oblivious about. There are also things that autistic people attribute to autism but are result of usual comorbidities.

When thinking about what is normal it is common to be thrown off by what your family is like. Autism is highly heritable and it’s very likely that if you’re autistic then at least one of your parents autistic is too even if they don’t know it.

If you’re after something objectively verifiable on your own then look into joint hypermobility - if you can dislocate some of your joints at will then it’s surprisingly likely that you’re some form of neurodivergent. My mind was blown by some of the recent studies in that area. I wasn’t that angry about not being diagnosed earlier when it comes to how my mind works because I found ways to cope. I was angry because it turns out that there’s a whole slew of physical conditions that seem to be specific to autism that doctors aren’t aware of usually and will never consider because of their own misconceptions about autism.

Once you understand how autism works you’ll know. By the time I got formally diagnosed I didn’t have any doubt about it myself even though I would laugh at the idea couple of months before.

That’s one way to get sanctioned.

Piefed has built-in community migration feature which is why many migrated there when Lemm.ee shut down.

Web browsers are the most resource intensive apps these days. Dedicated app doesn’t have to run JavaScript or ask for UI elements over network so it’s better for both battery and bandwidth.

It’s telling us it’s summer in northern hemisphere and winter in southern hemisphere 😵‍💫

Let’s maybe stop trusting the numbers coming from either side and leave that to independent sources? 50K is just unbelievable no matter how you look at it, even if it was just the number of wounded.

Sony just introduced a low-power mode for PS5 that looks like groundwork for some kind of PS5-compatible handheld so this ”leak” sounds very unlikely from the get go.

Oh, I know the mods of larger mods tried to monetise but I thought that was more in allowing posts from advertisers to appear as grass roots and to silence other voices. I didn't realize they were being baited along with promises of payment.

Abusing your position to shill is fairly known by now but some mods would like something more formalised not to get their hands this dirty I think. Being a Reddit mod is a highly politicised thing because you’re usually at mercy of subreddit creator or loudest people in a community. The consequence is that there are many mods that are there not based on merit. I always thought some people were mods just to brag about about being a mod but curiously enough they always became quite active when it came to advancing their status or making money.

As to how Reddit carrot dangling looks like in practice - I was modding a national sub in a country that didn’t have established Reddit presence so sometimes there’d be official communication that they would hire someone to keep someone culturally in the know for things like translations on staff for example. That never panned out as far as I know although I left around that time so maybe it changed. There are also those Mod Summit events that are kind of like corporate onboarding and where they announce where Reddit is going, sneak peek of things that are coming etc. I was to three of those and it was always either heavily implied or said outright that there would be a way to make money off communities officially. That also never happened. Just ways to keep your unpaid labour engaged :P

You’re just saying that those games had multiple entries, not that they are rehashes. Mario Kart is laughably bad example, Mario Party less so.

It’s quite likely that Switch 2 have been in production for a couple of years already given massive stockpiles they had for release. There’s plenty of circumstantial evidence that they delayed Switch 2 because Switch 1 was selling like hotcakes and there was no good launch lineup.

This is good for bitcoin.

Never let an opportunity to sell more stuff go to waste. GOG probably haven’t been targeted by payment processors yet so they can play tough.

Roma genocide is not going to get recognised as long as we live in this capitalist hellscape. The reason people hate them is because they refuse to participate in the death cult that is modern economy.

I can guarantee that they will return because the alternative would be too embarrassing for Trump. This headline is kinda overdramatic.

There are two main political ideologies that are pulling at status quo currently. One is „tax the wealth”, the other is „they took errr jobs”. The ultra-rich support one that’s not a threat to them obviously.

Can you provide an example of such „rehash”?Nintendo is famously quite stubborn about not doing sequels in most of their established franchises unless they can do something truly new with them, even when fans are asking for more of the same. I get an impression that you don’t know what you’re talking about but want to be a part of hate-wagon because that’s so popular to do these days. You need to come better prepared for it because this just reads silly.

Nintendo tends to keep their previous-gen as a budget option. Wii Mini launched as Wii U was coming out, same with New 2DS XL and Switch.

This is funny because based on my own experience (as an ex-mod of fairly large subreddit and attendee of Mod Summit event hosted by reddit) many of the mods volunteer their work because of promises of being able to monetise communities that were dangled in front of them for years now.

Experience curve was such a slog at level 70 and upwards that I never understood how people ever got to 99 (or rebirth for that matter). I’m not sure anyone was ever very good at RO, even at high level guild battlegrounds it only ever looked like random mayhem. I think most of us were there to sink time and escape reality via cute hats.
