FSR1 is pretty bad as it’s just upscaling the static image, I agree.
FSR2/3, XeSS and DLSS are temporal, meaning they use info from the previous frames to construct a higher resolution image that gives much better results. They also need to be implemented in the game engine, meaning not every game supports them.

"Fuck the white supremacist reddit anti-tankie admins", I’ll start my own reddit with blackjack and hookers at lemmy.marxist-leninist to host /r/communism - the creator of Lemmy and admin of lemmy.ml.

That actually has a function. First is as a life sentence usually isn’t actually until you die, but you sit x years (usually 20-30) and then can apply for parole and might get it. Multiple sentences can be set to run one after the other, increasing that time - though usually in that case you just get “life without parole”.

Another is if you have committed multiple crimes. Even if later they overturn one of them because of new evidence etc, you still have the others left keeping you in prison, instead of having to bring it back to court to figure out if that part was or wasn’t enough to give you a life sentence instead of a shorter one.

FSR2/XeSS upscaling pretty much acts as free anti aliasing, making it look better. And you get better UI rendering.

Specifically, the cybertruck.
Instead they made it so shoddy that it breaks if you take it to a car wash.

Though they can induce another type of driver fatigue - it makes driving boring as heck as you don’t need to do anything. I can’t use line keep myself as it just makes me really tired and I’ll risk falling asleep.

Temu is a handy way of getting cheap AliExpress tat with combined shipping. Otherwise you can end up with 10 tiny packages you have to go get from the post office spread across two weeks.

I agree with all the EU claims though, the site is designed to mislead and hook people who can’t filter out all the predatory tactics it utilizes. There are no “deals” or scarcity, nor really any quality control.

Or just in the browser. Whatever app they are using is not following the same markdown as Lemmy, which supports only one level: 10^33^ = 10³³.

That’s what happens to all alternatives at the start, only really the content that isn’t suitable for the main platform migrates there. It requires a mass exodus because of something major, like what happened with reddit 3rd party apps or twitter/X & the block change , to get enough regular users there.

Lemmy literally exists because Dessalines, a “long time Marxist-leninist” decided that “Fuck the while supremacist Reddit admins” and made an alternative to host r/communism because reddit is run by an “anti-tankie scum”.

The datasets will have enough images of kids in bikinis and underwear from stock photos and clothes shop listings etc to figure that part out rather easily.

The way AI models work, you don’t have to train it on the thing you want it to do, you can ask it to combine the things it knows about. Take any of the meme loras for example, like pepe punch or patcha.

So literally any model that can generate pictures of naked adults and clothed children - which is to say almost all of them - is going to be at least somewhat competent in creating CP unless those prompts are being actively censored and blocked.

Denuvo is an interesting one, as it’s both very hated, but also rather effective - in the last four years, only around 25 Denuvo games out of a hundred have been cracked. So with that, pirates can’t even rely on waiting as something you want to play might get cracked next week, or it might take years or simply never get cracked - poor Tourist Bus Simulator, nobody loves you.
So it turns in to a fairly simple math problem, though one with both variables being unknown (to me at least) - how many people who would buy the game don’t because it has Denuvo, vs how many people that would pirate the game buy it instead when they can’t.

The only people who surely benefit from this mess are let’s players and streamers :P

Illegal like sharing pirated media.
It can’t be commercialised, but if you just “happen” to find the software somewhere, you are allowed to use it.

Personally, I’m okay with Denuvo and other similar DRM when it’s used for the intended purpose - to prevent launch day hype piracy. The first few weeks/months are crucial for sales, and I can understand why developers do it.

But after that, especially after the game is cracked, remove the fucking DRM, it did what it could and is now useless, and only makes the experience of legitimate customers worse.

1, 2, 4. Then it’s 2028 and ESU ends. No idea how the pricing for the IoT long term support thing is done though.

The paid extended security update program is going to run until 2028, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC is going to have extended support all the way until 2032.

They have stated that ESU is going to be available to consumers as well, though not for how much - but somewhere between the $61 of the commercial, and $1 (really) of the education license, with the price doubling every year.

Pidgin. Before that it was called Gaim.
It still works, as there are plugins to integrate it with almost everything.

It means a GPLv3 project can use something licensed as CC BY-SA 4.0 by converting it to GPLv3, as is required. E.g using a CC BY-SA photograph as a background or a splash image in a program.
And while you technically can’t take the original, yeah, practically everything except “here is the image file alone in a folder” counts as modifying and a derivative work. Resize it, crop it, change a .png to a .jpg etc - all modify the original work.

CC BY-SA 4.0 is one way compatible with GPLv3.

It does mean that anything released under older CC SA licenses aren’t, so they can’t be used in GPL projects. And MIT isn’t compatible at all.

According to this article, they “sold 846.63 million tokens valued at $12.7 million” on the first day, leaving “19.1 billion coins worth $287 million unsold”.
At the current price, $12.7 million USD would require 65,376,030 Trillion WLFI, so to get the money back you just have to own 3.2 billion times more WLFI tokens that exist.
